Beethoven Op. 131 Manuscript Markings NK 20170701.Pages
A paper by Nicholas Kitchen about manuscript markings in Beethoven in general and in particular about their use in Op. 131, expanded from a paper presented for the Boston University Beethoven Institute in April 2017 I am honored to share with you today some of the exciting surprises that have come from rehearsing and performing directly from pdf ﬁles of Beethoven's manuscripts. The Beethoven editions I ﬁrst encountered (at least for quartets) were the Joachim- Moser editions, which I now see as lovingly mauled editorial efforts. Regardless of any editions, I heard beautiful performances of Beethoven's music, treasures in my memory that continually inspire my current endeavors to try to bring the beauty of his compositions to life. But the particular beauty of Beethoven quickly demands from us the realization that the details of our interface with the markings in his music DO matter a great deal, and that they mattered a great deal to Beethoven himself. Studying at Curtis, I witnessed the transition to Henle Urtext as the trusted source of learning about Beethoven. My single most inspiring class was one led by my teacher Szymon Goldberg, where all of his students had our Henle piano scores of all ten Beethoven Sonatas (we also consulted Joachim's solutions to certain issues) and all together we went through all ten sonatas multiple times, with all of us taking turns performing different Sonatas. Mr. Goldberg made vivid to us the concept that !1 of 92! Beethoven's markings were living instructions from one virtuoso performer to another, and he had a nice saying: "The composer wants the performance to succeed even MORE than you do".

Articulation from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Articulation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Examples of Articulations: staccato, staccatissimo,martellato, marcato, tenuto. In music, articulation refers to the musical performance technique that affects the transition or continuity on a single note, or between multiple notes or sounds. Types of articulations There are many types of articulation, each with a different effect on how the note is played. In music notation articulation marks include the slur, phrase mark, staccato, staccatissimo, accent, sforzando, rinforzando, and legato. A different symbol, placed above or below the note (depending on its position on the staff), represents each articulation. Tenuto Hold the note in question its full length (or longer, with slight rubato), or play the note slightly louder. Marcato Indicates a short note, long chord, or medium passage to be played louder or more forcefully than surrounding music. Staccato Signifies a note of shortened duration Legato Indicates musical notes are to be played or sung smoothly and connected. Martelato Hammered or strongly marked Compound articulations[edit] Occasionally, articulations can be combined to create stylistically or technically correct sounds. For example, when staccato marks are combined with a slur, the result is portato, also known as articulated legato. Tenuto markings under a slur are called (for bowed strings) hook bows. This name is also less commonly applied to staccato or martellato (martelé) markings. Apagados (from the Spanish verb apagar, "to mute") refers to notes that are played dampened or "muted," without sustain. The term is written above or below the notes with a dotted or dashed line drawn to the end of the group of notes that are to be played dampened.

TIPOS DE ORNAMENTOS NA MÚSICA ERUDITA ......................................3 3. TIPOS DE ORNAMENTOS NA MÚSICA POPULAR ....................................8 4. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS ..........................................................................12 REFERÊNCIAS BIBLIOGRÁFICAS ................................................................ 13 2 1. INTRODUÇÃO Este estudo trata dos ornamentos na música erudita, também chamados de “efeitos” na música popular. Em música, são chamados ornamentos os embelezamentos e decorações de uma melodia, expressos através de pequenas notas ou sinais especiais. A ornamentação fazia muito sentido nos séculos XIV até XVI devido ao amplo uso do Cravo. Este instrumento por sua vez, não segurava uma nota por tanto tempo quanto o Piano, deixando assim lacunas entre uma nota e outra ou o término de um tema e o início de um desenvolvimento/cadência. Desta forma os ornamentos tornaram-se amplamente utilizados neste período. Na musica Erudita, os ornamentos possuem características próprias sobre as notas que englobam e as notas que acrescentam. São eles o: Trinado (ou Trilo), Mordente, Grupetto (ou Gruppeto, Gruppetto, Grupeto), Appoggiatura (ou Apogiatura, Apojatura), Floreio, Portamento, Cadência (ou Cadenza), Arpeggio (ou Arpejo, Harpejo) e Glissando. Ornamentos na música popular consistem em extrair sonoridades e interpretações diferentes que incidem sobre determinado trecho musical, mediante a utilização de diversos sistemas de execução. Esses efeitos tem origem na guitarra elétrica e foram adaptados e usados nos baixos elétrico e são, em parte, aquilo que define a peculiaridade do músico. 2. TIPOS DE ORNAMENTOS NA MÚSICA ERUDITA Segue abaixo os ornamentos mais usados na música erudita: a) Trinado Esta representado por um tr colocado sempre acima da nota independente se ela tem a haste virada para cima ou para baixo.

Plainchant Tradition*
Some Observations on the "Germanic" Plainchant Tradition* By Alexander Blachly Anyone examining the various notational systems according to which medieval scribes committed the plainchant repertory to written form must be impressed both by the obvious relatedness of the systems and by their differences. There are three main categories: the neumatic notations from the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries (written without a staff and incapable, therefore, of indicating precise pitches);1 the quadratic nota tion in use in Italy, Spain, France, and England-the "Romanic" lands from the twelfth century on (this is the "traditional" plainchant notation, written usually on a four-line staff and found also in most twentieth century printed books, e.g., Liber usualis, Antiphonale monasticum, Graduale Romanum); and the several types of Germanic notation that use a staff but retain many of the features of their neumatic ancestors. The second and third categories descended from the first. The staffless neumatic notations that transmit the Gregorian repertory in ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-century sources, though unlike one another in some important respects, have long been recognized as transmitting the same corpus of melodies. Indeed, the high degree of concordance between manuscripts that are widely separated by time and place is one of the most remarkable aspects the plainchant tradition. As the oldest method of notating chant we know,2 neumatic notation compels detailed study; and the degree to which the neumatic manuscripts agree not only • I would like to thank Kenneth Levy, Alejandro Plan chart, and Norman Smith for reading this article prior to publication and for making useful suggestions for its improve ment.

Musical Staff: the Skeleton Upon Which Musical Notation Is Hung
DulcimerCrossing.com General Music Theory Lesson 7 Steve Eulberg Musical Staff [email protected] Musical Staff: The skeleton upon which musical notation is hung. The Musical Staff is comprised of a clef (5 lines and 4 spaces) on which notes or rests are placed. At one time the staff was made up of 11 lines and 10 spaces. It proved very difficult to read many notes quickly and modern brain research has demonstrated that human perception actually does much better at quick recall when it can “chunk” information into groups smaller than 7. Many years ago, the people developing musical notation created a helpful modification by removing the line that designated where “Middle C” goes on the staff and ending up with two clefs that straddle middle C. The treble clef includes C and all the notes above it. The Bass clef includes C and all the notes below it. (See Transitional Musical Staff): DulcimerCrossing.com General Music Theory Lesson 7 Steve Eulberg Musical Staff [email protected] Now the current musical staff has separated the top staff and the bottom staff further apart, but they represent the same pattern of notes as above, now with room for lyrics between the staves. (Staves is the plural form of Staff) DulcimerCrossing.com General Music Theory Lesson 7 Steve Eulberg Musical Staff [email protected] The Staves are distinct from each other by their “Clef Sign.” (See above) This example shows the two most commonly used Clef Signs. Compare the Space and Line names in the Historical example and this one. The information is now “chunked” into less than 7 bits of information (which turns out to be the natural limit in the human brain!) on each staff.

Overview of Erisk at CLEF 2019 Early Risk Prediction on the Internet (Extended Overview)
Overview of eRisk at CLEF 2019 Early Risk Prediction on the Internet (extended overview) David E. Losada1, Fabio Crestani2, and Javier Parapar3 1 Centro Singular de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información (CiTIUS), Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain [email protected] 2 Faculty of Informatics, Universitá della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland [email protected] 3 Information Retrieval Lab, Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones, Universidade da Coruña, Spain [email protected] Abstract. This paper provides an overview of eRisk 2019, the third edition of this lab under the CLEF conference. The main purpose of eRisk is to explore is- sues of evaluation methodology, effectiveness metrics and other processes related to early risk detection. Early detection technologies can be employed in different areas, particularly those related to health and safety. This edition of eRisk had three tasks. Two of them shared the same format and focused on early detecting signs of depression (T1) or self-harm (T2). The third task (T3) focused on an innovative challenge related to automatically ﬁlling a depression questionnaire based on user interactions in social media. 1 Introduction The main purpose of eRisk is to explore issues of evaluation methodologies, perfor- mance metrics and other aspects related to building test collections and deﬁning chal- lenges for early risk detection. Early detection technologies are potentially useful in different areas, particularly those related to safety and health. For example, early alerts could be sent when a person starts showing signs of a mental disorder, when a sexual predator starts interacting with a child, or when a potential offender starts publishing antisocial threats on the Internet.

Reed Instruments About Reeds
Reed Instruments About Reeds A reed is a thin elastic strip of cane fixed at one end and free at the other. It is set into vibration by moving air. Reeds are the sound generators in the instruments described below. Cane reeds are built as either double or single reeds. A double reed consists of two pieces of cane carved and bound into a hollow, round shape at one end and flattened out and shaved thin at the other. The two pieces are tied together to form an channel. The single reed is a piece of cane shaved at one end and fastened at the other to a mouthpiece. Single Reed Instruments Clarinet: A family of single reed instruments with mainly a cylindrical bore. They are made of grenadilla (African blackwood) or ebonite, plastic, and metal. Clarinets are transposing instruments* and come in different keys. The most common ones used in orchestras are the clarinet in A and the clarinet in Bb. When a part calls for a clarinet in A, the player may either double -i.e. play the clarinet in A, or play the clarinet in Bb and transpose* the part as he plays. During the time of Beethoven, the clarinet in C was also in use and players were expected to be able to play all three instruments when required. All clarinets are notated in the treble clef and have approximately the same written range: E below middle C to c´´´´ (C five ledger lines above the staff). Bass Clarinet: A member of the clarinet family made of wood, which sounds an octave lower than the Clarinet in Bb.

Understanding Animated Notation
UNDERSTANDING ANIMATED NOTATION First author Christian M. Fischer Affiliation1 Estonian Academy of Music and Theater [email protected] author1@adomainorg ABSTRACT technologies continuously find their way into music performance and music notation and all its manifestations Alternative notation approaches become more and more like gesture notation, screen scores, various forms of popular. Animated notation is one of them. It is popular extended notation or live generated scores. One kind of mainly because it seems easy to apply. On the other hand, notation that is used more frequently in the recent years, practice shows that classically trained musicians, but at the same time remains a kind of mystery is composers and musicologists tend to reject or animated notation. Animated notation serves in this text misunderstand this kind of music notation. Furthermore as an umbrella term for various approaches, where some musical performances based on animated notation abstract graphics (avoiding images, symbols or should face the question whether a regular notation would pictograms with an inherent meaning) are put into motion not have been more efficient. As a researcher, performer for music notational purposes and manifest as fixed and composer working with animated notation, I media. Hence, any kind of interaction or live generated experienced that there is still a lack of knowledge and and live manipulated scores are excluded. In practice some misconceptions when it comes to animated animated scores are often shown simultaneously to notation, its advantages and its disadvantages and performers and audience. As a score, it communicates the foremost its practical application. A brief look into the music and supports the understanding of the structure of development of animated notation, actual fields of the piece.
