Scherzo, molto vivace with Trio I. and Trio II. Allegro animato e grazioso. This is Schumann's "Spring" symphony. It emanates from the happiest period of his life. The obstacles to his marriage had been overcome, and he had won a high position as a composer and an authority in music. In a letter to Dorn in 1839, Schumann complains of the pianoforte as "too narrow a field for his thoughts," and announces his intention of applying himself to orchestral writing to make up for his want of practice. The B- flat symphony is the first published essay in the new (to him) and larger field. Years before, in 1829, when a Heidelberg student, undecided be- tween the professions of law and music, he wrote to Wieck, his old piano- " forte teacher and future father-in-law : I detest theory pure and simple, as you know ; and I have been living very quietly, improvising a good deal, but not playing much from notes. I have begun many a symphony, but finished nothing, and every now and then have managed to edge in a Schu- bert waltz between Roman law and the pandects, etc." Of these juvenile student attempts in the symphonic form, one at least, in G minor, was played in public (in Schneeberg in 1833). Schumann's love for Clara Wieck was the incentive which led him to persistent work in mastering the science of music, in overcoming his youth- LP. HOLLANDER & CO.

The earliest of the four published symphonies was first performed at the Gewandhaus, Leipzig, Mendelssohn conducting, on March 31, 1841, having been composed but shortly before. A few weeks after the performance he wrote to a friend : "I have now a household of my own, and my circumstances are different from what they were. The time since you last heard from me has passed in happiness and work. I wished for you to hear my symphony. How happy I was at the perform- ance ! — I, and others also, for it had such a favorable reception as I think no symphony has had since Beethoven." This state of things, as Grove says, the music reflects very characteris- tically. So full of it was Schumann's mind that the composition of the entire work — without the scoring — is said to have taken only four days. The title " Spring Symphony," which, however, is not adopted upon the printed title-page, is Schumann's own. In the volume of letters (" Robert Schumann's Briefe neue Folge," new series, B. & H., Leipzig), the first mention of it occurs : " Fancy," he says, " a whole symphony,— and a ' Spring' symphony, too !" Schumann has also put on record the fact that its connection with the bursting season of spring was his original idea ; for an inscription on a portrait of himself, which follows the first two bars of the symphony, reads : " Beginning of a symphony, occasioned by a poem of Adolf Biittger's.

(423) It is conceded that the buoyant B -flat symphony witnesses, in a truly astonishing manner, Schumann's forward stride in the technique of com- position. Purists point out its "lovely imperfections"; but few of these " are unwilling to say, with Ehlert : It possesses all the charm of a first creation ; it is imbued with the fragrant breath of a young pine grove, in which the sun plays at hide-and-seek ; it embodies as much of a bridal air as if Schumann were celebrating his symphonic honeymoon." Joseph Bennett points out the distinctions which marked the approach to compo- sition in the higher forms between Schubert and Schumann. The former " worked up to higher manifestations of the symphonic forms through his larger pieces for the chamber, such as the octet ; but Schumann passed at a step from the pianoforte to the orchestra, from the sonata to the symphony." " Schumann," writes Wasielewski, " conceived and treated the sym- phonic form in a peculiar spirit, based on the study of masterpieces, espe- cially those of Beethoven. The ideas are thoroughly Schumannic. Higher artistic value is bestowed on them by the fact that these ideas are expressed in the old established form. They seldom reveal the arbitrary enormities which so often occur in his earlier works." Grove remarks that the trombone passage in the second portion of the finale, while, perhaps, containing a reminiscence of the first movement of Schubert's C major symphony,— heard by Schumann (who brought the MSS. from Vienna) at Leipzig, only a few months before the composition of the B.

All the Priestley fabrics are STAMPED EVERY FIVE YARDS, on the under side of the selvedge, with the manufacturers' name (B. Priest- ley & CO.) in gilt letters. Unless so stamped, they are not genuine. (424) work,— is yet treated in his own way, producing a solemn effect not easily forgotten. An instance of Schumann's imperfect acquaintance with the orchestra of that date, also pointed out by Grove, is shown in the original score of the introduction.

Cook, Professor, Music Charles Dill, Professor, Music Lawrence Earp, Professor, Music Nan Enstad, Professor, History Pamela Potter, Professor, Music i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my best creations—my son, Owen Frederick and my unborn daughter, Clara Grace. I hope this dissertation and my musicological career inspires them to always pursue their education and maintain a love for music. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation grew out of a seminar I took with Susan C. Cook during my first semester at the University of Wisconsin. Her enthusiasm for music written during the First World War and her passion for research on gender and music were contagious and inspired me to continue in a similar direction. I thank my dissertation advisor, Susan C. Cook, for her endless inspiration, encouragement, editing, patience, and humor throughout my graduate career and the dissertation process. In addition, I thank my dissertation committee—Charles Dill, Lawrence Earp, Nan Enstad, and Pamela Potter—for their guidance, editing, and conversations that also helped produce this dissertation over the years. My undergraduate advisor, Susan Pickett, originally inspired me to pursue research on women composers and if it were not for her, I would not have continued on to my PhD in musicology.

Providencia, Chile: Ediciones Universidad Finis Terrae, 2016. Paperback, 636 pp., $27.99. Reviewed by Isabel Soares, CAPP, ISCSP, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal elling real stories. This is how Roberto Herrscher Tsummarizes literary journalism in his book Peri- odismo narrativo: cómo contar la realidad con las armas de la literatura (2016), literally meaning Narrative Journalism: How to Tell the Truth with the Weapons of Literature, a Chilean edition of a book he first pub- lished with the University of Barcelona in 2009. It is also through storytelling, his own personal life stories, that Herrscher, both a journalist and a journalism educator, starts positing a theory of literary journalism. His life stories, whether as a soldier during the Falklands War in 1982 or as a traveller crossing the border from his native Argentina to Chile with his fiancée, are examples of an “I” that writes about per- sonal experience as a way towards both self-discovery and the discovery of the “Oth- er” with whom the “I” engages. Such is also, according to Herrscher, the purpose of literary journalism, here called “narrative journalism,” the favored expression in the Spanish-speaking world. To Herrscher, literary journalism is the “theatre of reality” (48). It is the crossing of a threshold separating a source-only based journalism from a journalism of scenes and characters. As he writes: “To go from the sources to the char- acters and from the statements to the almost theatrical scenes where people tell things is to step into the world of literary journalism” (49).

  • Uganda Basic Manual
    ALTERNATIVES TO VIOLENCE PROJECT MANUAL BASIC COURSE Uganda Version Revised 2007 ALTERNATIVES TO VIOLENCE PROJECT Revised 2007 By M.A. Peace and Conflict Studies Programme, WHY THE REVISION OF THE MANUAL. With the numerous trainings that have been conducted in Uganda and her neighbors, it has been noted that a few concepts in the training manuals need to be revised to fit in the African setting. This is because the many of the available manuals were developed in USA and had no references to Africa In addition, the program has grown in experience and broadened in coverage of people with a lot of differences, hence the more reason to respond to the growing need to revise and expand the manuals to cater for the recognized differences. Some of the concepts have been revised to simplify the language for easier understanding. Also examples and role plays from Ugandan context have been included. Moreover, gender and AIDS sensitivity have been highlighted. Furthermore to make it appropriate for the rural context and not just for university students and urban folklore, the manuals have been revised by simplifying exercises and citing everyday examples to meet this target. That is, the manuals have been made more elaborate enough to cater for the illiterate class that is still dominating the African community. Furthermore we are putting particular effort in the training of new trainers, that they develop a sensibility for their target group and learn how to respond appropriately, instead of sticking to the manual verbatim 2 ACKNOWLDGEMENT AND CONTACTS The revision has been an outcome of concerted efforts of Komuhangi Judith Sheenah, Bangirana Narcis, Omaada Esibo, Grace Kiconco, Teko Patrick, Stefan Friedrichsen and Anika May.

  • Lessons from the Cellblock: a Study of Prison Inmate Participants in an Alternatives to Violence Program
    Lessons from the Cellblock: A Study of Prison Inmate Participants in an Alternatives to Violence Program Stanton D. Sloane Submitted for: EDMP 615 Professor Paul Salipante Introduction This paper is a follow-on to preliminary research on the Quakers conducted in the fall of 2000. That inquiry looked at other-regarding principles in the Quaker religion and how they are applied in practice. Underlying Quakerism is a deep regard for all people. The Quakers believe that “God is in everyone.” They are strongly anti-violent, very receptive of people of other faiths, and generally very tolerant in their approach to life. Because of these principles, Quakers are frequently sought out as mediators, counselors, and leaders of organizations committed to non-violence. The strength of their beliefs about the goodness of all other people led me to the notion that this principle might be transferable and useful as a means of fostering cooperation. It seemed logical that the degree to which one person regards another would have a bearing on his or her willingness to cooperate. If other-regarding/other-valuing (I will use these terms together frequently throughout this paper) can be instilled and reinforced in people and their willingness to cooperate subsequently shown to increase, then we should be able to draw the conclusion that modifying these values produces a positive effect on cooperation. My theory is that it does, and I will present an analysis that supports this conclusion herein. A second, and more difficult question, is whether or not the other-regarding behavior can be generalized across a broader segment of the population (beyond the immediate group).
