  • Statistical Techniques in Music Psychology: an Update
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Goldsmiths Research Online Statistical techniques in music psychology: An update Daniel M¨ullensiefen 1 Introduction Music psychology as a discipline has its origins at the end of the 19th century and ever since then, empirical methods have been a core part in this field of research. While its experimental and analytical methods have mainly been related to methodology employed in general psychology, several statistical techniques have emerged over the course of the past century being specific for empirical research in music psychology. These core methods have been described in a few didactic and summarising publications at several stages of the discipline’s history (see e.g. Wundt, 1882; B¨ottcher & Kerner, 1978; Windsor, 2001, or Beran, 2004 for a very technical overview), and these publications have been valuable resources to students and researchers alike. In contrast to these texts with a rather didactical focus, the objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of a range of novel statistical techniques that have been employed in recent years in music psychology research.1 This overview will give enough insight into each technique as such. The interested reader will then have to turn to the original publications, to obtain a more in-depth knowledge of the details related to maths and the field of application. Empirical research into auditory perception and the psychology of music might have its beginnings in the opening of the psychological laboratory by Wilhelm Wundt in Leipzig in 1879 where experiments on human perception were conducted, and standards for empirical research and analysis were developed.

  • Money from Music: Survey Evidence on Musicians’ Revenue and Lessons About Copyright Incentives
    MONEY FROM MUSIC: SURVEY EVIDENCE ON MUSICIANS’ REVENUE AND LESSONS ABOUT COPYRIGHT INCENTIVES Peter DiCola* According to the incentive theory of copyright, financial rewards are what the public trades for the production of creative works. To know whether this quid pro quo is working, one needs to know how much the creators are getting from the bargain. Based on an original, nationwide survey of more than 5,000 musicians, this Article addresses one of the key links in the incentive theory’s chain of logic. For most musicians, copyright does not provide much of a direct financial reward for what they are producing currently. The survey findings are instead consistent with a winner-take-all or superstar model in which copyright motivates musicians through the promise of large rewards in the future in the rare event of wide popularity. * Associate Professor, Northwestern University School of Law. A.B. 1998, Princeton University; J.D. 2005, Ph.D. (Economics) 2009, University of Michigan. I am grateful to my colleagues Jean Cook and Kristin Thomson of the Future of Music Coalition. We worked together to develop and analyze the Internet survey of musicians discussed in this Article, and I have benefited greatly from our discussions as a research team. The views expressed in this Article are my own, however, and not those of Jean, Kristin, or Future of Music Coalition. My thanks to Ken Ayotte, Scott Baker, Shari Diamond, Zev Eigen, Josh Fischman, Ezra Friedman, William Hubbard, Jessica Litman, Anup Malani, Mark McKenna, Tom Miles, Max Schanzenbach, and Avishalom Tor for helpful comments and advice.

  • Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance
    Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance Harold Toliver LYRIC PROVINCES IN THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE Harold Toliver Poets are by no means alone in being pre­ pared to see new places in settled ways and to describe them in received images. Outer regions will be assimilated into dynasties, never mind the hostility of the natives. The ancient wilderness of the Mediterranean and certain biblical expectations of what burning bushes, gods, and shepherds shall exist every­ where encroach upon the deserts of Utah and California. Those who travel there see them and other new landscapes in terms of old myths of place and descriptive topoi; and their descriptions take on the structure, to­ nality, and nomenclature of the past, their language as much recollection as greeting. In Professor Toliver's view, the concern of the literary historian is with, in part, that ever renewed past as it is introduced under the new conditions that poets confront, and is, therefore, with the parallel movement of liter­ ary and social history. Literature, he reminds us, is inseparable from the rest of discourse (as the study of signs in the past decade has made clearer), but is, nevertheless, distinct from social history in that poets look less to common discourse for their models than to specific literary predecessors. Careful observ­ ers of place, they seek to bring what is distinct and valuable in it within some sort of verbal compass and relationship with the speaker. They bring with them, however, formulas and tf > w if a loyalty to a cultural heritage that both com­ plicate and confound the lyric address to place.

    10 Chapter 2 Answer 2.3 The ER diagram is shown in Figure 2.1. Exercise 2.4 A company database needs to store information about employees (iden- tified by ssn,withsalary and phone as attributes), departments (identified by dno, with dname and budget as attributes), and children of employees (with name and age as attributes). Employees work in departments; each department is managed by an employee; a child must be identified uniquely by name when the parent (who is an employee; assume that only one parent works for the company) is known. We are not interested in information about a child once the parent leaves the company. Draw an ER diagram that captures this information. Answer 2.4 Answer omitted. Exercise 2.5 Notown Records has decided to store information about musicians who perform on its albums (as well as other company data) in a database. The company has wisely chosen to hire you as a database designer (at your usual consulting fee of $2500/day). Each musician that records at Notown has an SSN, a name, an address, and a phone number. Poorly paid musicians often share the same address, and no address has more than one phone. Each instrument used in songs recorded at Notown has a unique identification number, a name (e.g., guitar, synthesizer, flute) and a musical key (e.g., C, B-flat, E-flat). Each album recorded on the Notown label has a unique identification number, a title, a copyright date, a format (e.g., CD or MC), and an album identifier. Each song recorded at Notown has a title and an author.

You would be devastated, being prevented from spending time with your idol because you needed to go care for your sick and dying mother; it would feel as if both your dream and your ​ ​ reality were shattered. This is the exact situation the pianist Ludwig van Beethoven found himself in when he traveled to Vienna in hopes of receiving lessons from his role model, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
