Bach (1642–1703) Susanne Rydén, soprano; Elizabeth Blumenstock, baroque violin Notes The Great Collectors During the 1980s, both Classical & Early Music recordings underwent a profound change due to the advent of the Compact Disc as well as the arrival of larger stores specializing in music. One of the casualties of this change was the recital recording, in which an artist or ensemble would present an interesting arrangement of musical pieces that followed a certain theme or style—much like a live concert. Although recital recordings were of course made, and are perhaps making a comeback, most recordings featured a single composer and were sold in alphabetized bins: B for Bach; V for Vivaldi.

  • Where Are the Black Graphic Designers at Calarts?
    Where are the Black Graphic Designers at CalArts? TASHEKA ARCENEAUX SUTTON not many blacks have been fortunate enough to attend the CalArts Graphic Design Program — not many at all. I started putting together a list of Black designers at CalArts, and so far, there are 20 people on that list, including myself. Let me break it down: Over 15 years from 1995 to 2020, an estimated 20 Black students graduated from the Graphic Design Program at CalArts, roughly 1% of the graphic design students. I believe the list is incomplete (although I'm unsure to what degree), and it only goes as far back as 1995. So some people are missing between 1970 and 1995. I sent my list to Lorraine Wild to see if she could help me fill in the gaps and give me some names before 1995, and she said, “Your list is interesting and, to be frank, humiliating.” And I agree, it's ridiculous! When I attended CalArts’ visiting day — I don't remember being worried or concerned about the possibility of being the only Black person in the program. I was the only Black potential student at the visiting day, but that didn't bother me either. I was happy to be invited. I remember being in the graduate critique room when MFA students present their work. I have no idea what the student's presentation was about because to the right of me was a wall filled from top to bottom with visiting-artist lecture posters. And I found myself staring at the posters the whole time, wondering, “Was it possible for me to make posters like this?” The poster I most vividly remember was the “Julie Burleigh” poster designed by Max Erdenberger and Megan McGinley.

Through historical research and a study of primary sources such as line-cut facsimiles, I sought to answer the question, how did the triple impression and single impression methods of printing develop, and is one superior to the other? While Petrucci’s triple impression method produced cleaner and more connected staves, a significant number of problems resulted, including pitch accuracy and cost efficiency.
