  • Proton Nmr Spectroscopy
    1H NMR Spectroscopy (#1c) The technique of 1H NMR spectroscopy is central to organic chemistry and other fields involving analysis of organic chemicals, such as forensics and environmental science. It is based on the same principle as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This laboratory exercise reviews the principles of interpreting 1H NMR spectra that you should be learning right now in Chemistry 302. There are four questions you should ask when you are trying to interpret an NMR spectrum. Each of these will be discussed in detail. The Four Questions to Ask While Interpreting Spectra 1. How many different environments are there? The number of peaks or resonances (signals) in the spectrum indicates the number of nonequivalent protons in a molecule. Chemically equivalent protons (magnetically equivalent protons) give the same signal in the NMR whereas nonequivalent protons give different signals. 1 For example, the compounds CH3CH3 and BrCH2CH2Br all have one peak in their H NMR spectra because all of the protons in each molecule are equivalent. The compound below, 1,2- dibromo-2-methylpropane, has two peaks: one at 1.87 ppm (the equivalent CH3’s) and the other at 3.86 ppm (the CH2). 1.87 1.87 ppm CH 3 3.86 ppm Br Br CH3 1.87 ppm 3.86 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 2. How many 1H are in each environment? The relative intensities of the signals indicate the numbers of protons that are responsible for individual signals. The area under each peak is measured in the form of an integral line.

  • Fundamental Techniques in Viola Spaces of Garth Knox. (2016) Directed by Dr
    ÉRTZ, SIMON ISTVÁN, D.M.A. Beyond Extended Techniques: Fundamental Techniques in Viola Spaces of Garth Knox. (2016) Directed by Dr. Scott Rawls. 49 pp. Viola Spaces are often seen as interesting extra projects rather than valuable pedagogical tool that can be used to fill where other material falls short. These works can fill various gaps in the violist’s literature, both as pedagogical and performance works. Each of these works makes a valuable addition to the violist’s contemporary performance repertoire as a short, imaginative, and musically satisfying work and can be performed either individually or as part of a smaller set in a larger program (see Appendix A). They all also present interesting technical challenges that explore what are seen as extended techniques but can also be traced back to work on some of the fundamentals of viola technique. Etudes for viola are often limited to violin transcriptions mostly written in the eighteenth, nineteenth, or early twentieth centuries. Contemporary etudes written specifically for viola are valuable but are usually not as comprehensive or as suitable for performance etudes as are Viola Spaces. Few performance etudes cover the technical varieties that are presented in these works of Garth Knox. In this paper I will discuss the historical background of the viola and etudes written for viola. Many viola etudes written in the earlier history of the viola have not continued to be published; this study will also look at why some survived and others are no longer used. Compared to literature for the violin there are large gaps in the violists’ repertoire that Viola Spaces does much to fill; furthermore many violinists have asked for transcriptions of these works.

  • 103 CHAPTER V STRING SEXTET, OP. 47 in the Standard
    CHAPTER V STRING SEXTET, OP. 47 In the standard instrumentation of two violins, two violas, and two cellos, only a half-dozen works for string sextet, all from the Romantic tradition, enjoy a place in the standard repertoire today. These are: the two sextets of Johannes Brahms, op. 18 in B f and op. 36 in G; Dvorak’s Sextet in A, op. 48; and the program works of the Romantic era, Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, Tchaikowsky’s Souvenir di Florence, and Richard Strauss’s Prelude to Capriccio. The efforts by Vincent d’Indy and Joseph Joachim Raff, as well as a handful of their lesser-known contemporaries, have fallen into obscurity. In the post-Romantic era, contributions to the genre have come from Frank Bridge, Erich Korngold, Bohuslav Martinu˚, Darius Milhaud, Walter Piston, Quincy Porter, and Max Reger, along with a few dozen works from lesser-known composers.1 Part of the reason for this sparsity of repertoire can be attributed to the overwhelming popularity of the string quartet, which since Haydn’s time has been the accepted proving ground for composers of chamber music. Another factor, in the post- 1 Margaret K. Farish, String Music in Print, 2nd ed. (New York, R.R.

  • Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: an Overview and Performance Guide
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide A PROJECT DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Saxophone Performance By Thomas Michael Snydacker EVANSTON, ILLINOIS JUNE 2019 2 ABSTRACT Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide Thomas Snydacker The saxophone has long been an instrument at the forefront of new music. Since its invention, supporters of the saxophone have tirelessly pushed to create a repertoire, which has resulted today in an impressive body of work for the yet relatively new instrument. The saxophone has found itself on the cutting edge of new concert music for practically its entire existence, with composers attracted both to its vast array of tonal colors and technical capabilities, as well as the surplus of performers eager to adopt new repertoire. Since the 1970s, one of the most eminent and consequential styles of contemporary music composition has been spectralism. The saxophone, predictably, has benefited tremendously, with repertoire from Gérard Grisey and other founders of the spectral movement, as well as their students and successors. Spectral music has continued to evolve and to influence many compositions into the early stages of the twenty-first century, and the saxophone, ever riding the crest of the wave of new music, has continued to expand its body of repertoire thanks in part to the influence of the spectralists. The current study is a guide for modern saxophonists and pedagogues interested in acquainting themselves with the saxophone music of the spectralists.

  • Guide to Repertoire
    Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well).

Adding instructions that clarify, make explicit, or expand some principles and instructions carried over from AACR2; c. Proposing new instructions. 3. To simplify some unnecessarily complex instructions. 4. To arrange certain subsections in the six major instructions in a more logical way, based wherever possible on principles that group together types of resources having common characteristics. 5. To revise the instructions for medium of performance to provide for all media found in resources and to do that using vocabulary that adheres as closely as possible to the principle of representation: incorporating words the composer or resource uses. 6. To revise or eliminate instructions LC finds unworkable based on past experience with AACR2 (e.g., the instructions for key (6.22) in section M of this document). 7. In the interest of simplification, to eliminate vexing terms catalogers have spent inordinate amounts of time interpreting when using AACR2 (e.g., “type of composition” as a formal term when all it need be is a useful phrase; “score order”).
