  • Steve Waksman [email protected]
    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i1.9en Live Recollections: Uses of the Past in U.S. Concert Life Steve Waksman [email protected] Smith College Abstract As an institution, the concert has long been one of the central mechanisms through which a sense of musical history is constructed and conveyed to a contemporary listening audience. Examining concert programs and critical reviews, this paper will briefly survey U.S. concert life at three distinct moments: in the 1840s, when a conflict arose between virtuoso performance and an emerging classical canon; in the 1910s through 1930s, when early jazz concerts referenced the past to highlight the music’s progress over time; and in the late twentieth century, when rock festivals sought to reclaim a sense of liveness in an increasingly mediatized cultural landscape. keywords: concerts, canons, jazz, rock, virtuosity, history. 1 During the nineteenth century, a conflict arose regarding whether concert repertories should dwell more on the presentation of works from the past, or should concentrate on works of a more contemporary character. The notion that works of the past rather than the present should be the focus of concert life gained hold only gradually over the course of the nineteenth century; as it did, concerts in Europe and the U.S. assumed a more curatorial function, acting almost as a living museum of musical artifacts. While this emphasis on the musical past took hold most sharply in the sphere of “high” or classical music, it has become increasingly common in the popular sphere as well, although whether it fulfills the same function in each realm of musical life remains an open question.

Gerhard Widmer Institut f¨urComputational Perception Johannes Kepler Universit¨atLinz eingereicht an der Technischen Universit¨at Wien Fakult¨atf¨urInformatik von Elias Pampalk Matrikelnummer: 9625173 Eglseegasse 10A, 1120 Wien Wien, M¨arz 2006 Kurzfassung Die Zielsetzung dieser Dissertation ist die Entwicklung von Methoden zur Unterst¨utzung von Anwendern beim Zugriff auf und bei der Entdeckung von Musik. Der Hauptteil besteht aus zwei Kapiteln. Kapitel 2 gibt eine Einf¨uhrung in berechenbare Modelle von Musik¨ahnlich- keit. Zudem wird die Optimierung der Kombination verschiedener Ans¨atze beschrieben und die gr¨oßte bisher publizierte Evaluierung von Musik¨ahnlich- keitsmassen pr¨asentiert. Die beste Kombination schneidet in den meisten Evaluierungskategorien signifikant besser ab als die Ausgangsmethode. Beson- dere Vorkehrungen wurden getroffen um Overfitting zu vermeiden. Um eine Gegenprobe zu den Ergebnissen der Genreklassifikation-basierten Evaluierung zu machen, wurde ein H¨ortest durchgef¨uhrt.Die Ergebnisse vom Test best¨a- tigen, dass Genre-basierte Evaluierungen angemessen sind um effizient große Parameterr¨aume zu evaluieren. Kapitel 2 endet mit Empfehlungen bez¨uglich der Verwendung von Ahnlichkeitsmaßen.¨ Kapitel 3 beschreibt drei Anwendungen von solchen Ahnlichkeitsmassen.¨ Die erste Anwendung demonstriert wie Musiksammlungen organisiert and visualisiert werden k¨onnen,so dass die Anwender den Ahnlichkeitsaspekt,¨ der sie interessiert, kontrollieren k¨onnen.

October 2019 ——————————————— Joel Peterson Editor-in-Chief A Villa Roma Publication Always Free The ^ Return I To form! NEWWHO ALBUM DUE NOVEMBER 22 A new album from the Who, simply titled Who, (or, possibly Detour), is their first long player in 13 years, and will be released on the Polydor label on November 22. Endless Wire, their 2006 release, though welcome after a 24 year layoff from recording, was a bit of a sprawling mess. The band seem to have got- ten a few more things right this time around. Perhaps influenced by Who co-producer D. Sardy, Pete Townshend seems to have much better sense in editing himself this time around. Endless Wire began it’s life as a mini opera EP entitled Wire and Glass. It was short, punchy, and delivered the goods. By the time it had been fleshed out with more (too much) material, the resulting album was a hit or miss affair that required two vinyl albums to hold all the music. This time, less is more. Eleven songs, on a single LP, all the flab cut away, and no overarching themes or pretentious concepts. The production, judging from the newly issued single track Ball and Chain, finally gets the sound right for the first time since 1978’s Who Are You: diamond hard, with slash- ing guitars the song is a blues that sounds gloriously sloppy in a good way (think Join Together).\ In addition to original members Townshend and vocalist Roger Daltrey, the band, such as it is, in- cludes long time bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Zak Starkey.
