  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

In the 19th century, mouth organ ma- king came to town and soon dominated the townscape with a multitude of workshops. By the year 1840 or thereabouts, this boom had turned Klingenthal into Germany’s largest centre for the manufacture of mouth organs. Production consolidation also had its benefits.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper is concerned primarily with an educational approach to the accordion sound generation mechanisms. Accordions are made to sound by buzzing a thin steel tongue, which is attached to one side of a metal plate containing an aperture through which the reed tongue can actually pass. The accordion utilises the free reed principle, is hand-held and is powered by bellows. The aim of this work is to present the pedagogical steps that focus on the knowledge of free reed behaviour and the pressure forces that excite the reed vibration. INTRODUCTION The term Accordion is the proper generic term for all members of a complex family of free-reed aerophones. The accordion consists of a series of air-actuated free reeds tuned to notes of a musical scale and controlled by means of a keyboard. The family is divided into two preliminary halves: “Diatonic” accordions, that play different pitches when bellows are expanded or compressed and “Chromatic” accordions, that sound the same pitch in both bellows directions.

Approximate: Weight 30# Keyboard length: 21” The "Fabbrica Armoniche Mariano Dallape e Figlio" company was established in Stradella (Pavia) by Mariano Dallape in 1876. Mariano was born in Brusino di Cavedine (in the South Tirol region, which belonged to Austria at that time) in 1846. He was just 20 years old when he left his home region and came down to Italy to seek his fortune. He found a job in Genoa as a stoker miner working at the harbour, which was extended in those years. He was injured by a mine explosion, which made him unable to work and hobble. He was then forced to sadly go back to his home region. Fortunately he always kept his Austrian old and primitive diatonic accordion "organetto", which he could skilfully play. His masterful performances in the various courtyards and inns he found while going back home enabled him to scrape together a little money for some food and a bed to sleep overnight.

  • MANAGING CHANGE: Preservation and Rightsizing in America Chairman’S Message
    MANAGING CHANGE: Preservation and Rightsizing in America Chairman’s Message The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is pleased to present this report addressing rightsizing and historic preservation in America. This issue of rightsizing and its implications for historic preservation have been the focus of considerable attention since 2011 when the devastating effects of the economic downturn on historic properties within legacy cities became apparent to the preservation community. Residents urged the ACHP to assist in managing the effects of major changes occurring to historic properties in local neighborhoods across the country. Recognizing the important role the ACHP could play in advising stakeholders on how to incorporate historic preservation goals and requirements into community efforts, I designated a task force in 2011 to address this issue. The result of our efforts is incorporated in this report, Managing Change: Preservation and Rightsizing in America, which makes key recommendations for ensuring that historic preservation is a vital part of the solution for communities looking to reinvent themselves. The report documents the ACHP’s findings based on site visits to legacy cities, participation in conferences and meetings, and research. In addition, it makes recommendations to federal agencies and the diverse stakeholders involved in rightsizing in legacy cities and other communities. The phenomenon of rightsizing is similar to challenges presented decades ago by the Urban Renewal Program that resulted in the substantial loss of local historic assets. The lessons learned during that period have positioned us now to ensure that historic preservation informs the revitalization of our communities and is not considered an impediment to economic recovery.
