History, Guitar, Violin & Strings
The Quartet History, guitar, violin & strings by Daniela Solera String Instruments String instruments have been some of the most important instruments throughout history. The earliest identified string instruments found in archaeological digs of Ancient Mesopotamian sites are over three thousand years old. These instruments are known as chordophones, from the Greek words khorde, which means “string”, and phonos, which means “sound” or “voice”. The development of these instruments varied from country to country. The importance of the violin and the guitar increased as they went through various design changes until it reached to what it is known today. These two instruments are currently two of the most played string instruments. Classification String instruments can be divided depending on how the strings are set on the instrument or according to the way it is played. In both cases, there are three main groups: String setting - Lutes - the strings of these instruments are supported by a neck and a bout. - Harps - the strings are contained within a frame. - Zithers - in this case, the strings are mounted in a body. Playing methods - Plucking - the instrument is played by using either the fingers or a pick, like a guitar or banjo. - Bowing - the instrument is played using a bow, like the violin. - Striking - the instrument is played similarly to percussion instruments, like the piano. The sound producing element The string is what produces the sound in a string instrument through vibration. The body of the instrument is what amplifies the sound produced by the string vibrations. In the case of electric instruments, an amplifier is used. -

Words on Music, Perhaps: the Writings of Arthur Berger
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORDS ON MUSIC, PERHAPS: THE WRITINGS OF ARTHUR BERGER Jennifer Miriam Kobuskie, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Olga Haldey, Associate Professor, Musicology and Ethnomusicology Division, School of Music When Arthur Berger (1912–2003) is mentioned in the history books, it is often as a mid-20th century American composer, or a practitioner and teacher of music theory who, during his tenure at Brandeis University, had trained a generation of theorists and composers. This dissertation aims to demonstrate that Berger made one of his most significant contributions to the history of 20th-century music as a writer of prose. As a full-time critic, his work was featured in major newspapers of New York and Boston, and nationally distributed periodicals. He helped found two music journals, contributed regularly to others, and authored two books. For decades, his voice was widely heard and broadly influential. His aesthetic views, stated boldly and unapologetically, helped shape the post-WWII discourse on modern, particularly American music, and continue to impact both public and scholarly debate on this topic. This study surveys Berger’s personal history as a writer, including his career as a music critic, his involvement with the creation of the scholarly journal Perspectives of New Music, his pioneering biography of Aaron Copland, and his seminal article on Stravinsky’s octatonicism. The dissertation also offers a detailed, comprehensive analysis of Berger’s voluminous corpus of writings, both published and unpublished, as well as his personal archive of notes, drafts, and correspondence, in order to elucidate his aesthetic principles, and his views on a broad variety of subjects related to modern music, such as neoclassicism, nationalism, innovation and tradition, the music of Stravinsky, Copland, and their American successors, as well as the role of classical music in American culture, and the place of American music in the world.
