THE design of this volume is to show the degree of prominence and influence attained by the Hebrews of the United States. The preparation of the work was undertaken at the suggestion of the numerous readers of a less elaborate series of sketches upon the same subject which appeared in the " New York Mail and Express " about one year since. In the course of his earlier researches the author brought to light a vast amount of interesting material regard- ing the Hebrews in this country, the publication of which, in the secular press was, for obvious reasons, found impractic- able. The material then secured, which has been supple- mented by further investigation, constitutes the present volume. In preparing this work the author has con- sulted various State and Municipal histories and the collections of various Historical Societies, including " Colonial History of New York," " Westcott's Philadelphia." " Historical Collections of Rhode Island," " Daly's Jewish Settlements in North America," " Steven's History of Georgia," "Historical Collections of Georgia," ""Arnold's VI PREFACE.

Mason & Hamlin, Boston. Gentlemen : In a former letter to you I expressed my delight and satisfaction with your magnifi- cent pianofortes, and I have once more to thank you and to admire your untiring efforts to attain an artistic ideal. Your latest model, equipped with the centripetal tension bars, has developed and intensified the qualities of its precursors and has surpassed my highest expectations. As you know, I have used these instruments under many different conditions, in recital, with orchestra, in small and in large halls, and their adaptability to all require- ments has equally astonished and delighted me. The tone is, as always, one of never- failing beauty, the action is wonderful in its delicacy and responsiveness, and I consider that, as an instrument for bringing into prominence the individual qualities of tone and touch of the player, the Mason & Hamlin piano stands absolutely pre-eminent. The vertical grand (style O) is the only instrument of its kind, as far as I am aware, capable of giving complete satisfaction to any one accustomed to play upon a grand, and I have no hesitation in saying that it is without exception the finest upright piano I have ever met with.

  • Proquest Document 5/5 Eva Lundell
    The Ensemble Étude for Violins: An Examination with an Annotated Survey of Violin Trios and Quartets and an Original Étude for Four Violins by Eva Lundell A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Jonathan Swartz, Chair Jody Rockmaker Nancy Buck Frank Koonce Kay Norton ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2011 ABSTRACT Études written for violin ensemble, which include violin duets, trios, and quartets, are less numerous than solo études. These works rarely go by the title “étude,” and have not been the focus of much scholarly research. Ensemble études have much to offer students, teachers and composers, however, because they add an extra dimension to the learning, teaching, and composing processes. This document establishes the value of ensemble études in pedagogy and explores applications of the repertoire currently available. Rather than focus on violin duets, the most common form of ensemble étude, it mainly considers works for three and four violins without accompaniment. Concentrating on the pedagogical possibilities of studying études in a group, this document introduces creative ways that works for violin ensemble can be used as both études and performance pieces. The first two chapters explore the history and philosophy of the violin étude and multiple-violin works, the practice of arranging of solo études for multiple instruments, and the benefits of group learning and cooperative learning that distinguish ensemble étude study from solo étude study. The third chapter is an annotated survey of works for three and four violins without accompaniment, and serves as a pedagogical guide to some of the available repertoire.

    The Everlasting Folia: A Violinist’s Guide to Folias through Context, Catalog, Analysis, and Practice Emily M Acri A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Ronald Patterson, Chair David Rahbee Melia Watras Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2020 Emily M Acri University of Washington Abstract The Everlasting Folia: A Violinist’s Guide to Folias through Context, Catalog, Analysis, and Practice Emily M Acri Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Ronald Patterson School of Music Arcangelo Corelli’s Follia was the last of his 12 Violin Sonatas Op. 5, published in 1700. The work is a theme and variations based on the later folia, a musical form from the late 17th century. Corelli’s Follia was highly regarded in the violin repertoire and created a standard for those to follow. Many composers sought to compose their own folia, many in direct relation to Corelli’s masterwork. There are documents citing the array of folia-related works, but there is not a source specifically focusing on the “Violin Folia Family”. As the title suggests, this document is organized in four major sections: Contextualizing Relevant Performer-Composers, Violin- Centric Folia Catalog, Comparing the Folias, and Practice Guide. This multifaceted document serves as a resource for teachers, students and performers on their quest to learn about this everlasting, ever-changing body of work for the violin. Acknowledgements Much of this dissertation was written during the uncertain times of COVID-19. I am grateful for Guemes Island, Washington for being a beautiful source of peace to live in during this time.
