Davis, Moderator Executive Director Association of College & Research Libraries Kara Malenfant Senior Strategist for Special Initiatives Association of College & Research Libraries Brett Bobley Director and Chief Information Officer National Endowment for the Humanities Changes in structures and policies of publishing and scholarly communications are a preoccupation for ACLS and its member societies. One of the most vociferous- ly advocated changes is the “open access” movement, which runs from demands for advocacy to business strategies. Past annual meetings have included sessions devoted to different points of view on these changes. This session will start from the premise that open access has become one durable dimension of scholarly communications. It will present the argument made by this movement, polices adopted or created by government to promote open access, and strategies by which society publishers can respond. Open Access: Managing Change Mary Ellen K. Davis is the executive director of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), the higher education association for librarians, with more than 12,000 members and 42 chapter affiliates. Serving as executive direc- tor since 2001, Mary Ellen has expanded the association’s programs, publica- tions, and services. Under her leadership, ACRL has received leadership grants from the Institute for Museum and Library Services to demonstrate the value of academic libraries, moved its premier research journal to open access, and ex- panded professional development programs. She oversees a multimillion dollar publishing enterprise including two research journals, a monthly news maga- zine, CHOICE (a monthly review journal), and a host of electronic newsletters and blogs. She has held various positions at the American Library Association as well as Central Michigan University. She has an M.A. in education from Central Michigan University, an M.S. in Library and Information Science, and a B.S in education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her areas of expertise include scholarly publishing, professional development, academic and research libraries, and association management. Kara Malenfant is senior strategist for special initiatives at the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), the higher education association for librarians, with more than 12,000 members and 42 chapter affiliates.At ACRL, Kara works with librarians in all types of academic libraries to accelerate the transition to a more open system of scholarship. She coordinates ACRL’s gov- ernment relations initiative, developing strategies to influence legislation and policy affecting academic and research libraries. As the lead staff member on the Value of Academic Libraries initiative, she manages the IMLS grant-funded program “Assessment in Action: Academic Libraries and Student Success.” Kara began her position at ACRL in fall of 2005, after working for six years at DePaul University Libraries in Chicago. Prior to her experience as a librar- ian, Kara worked for nonprofits focused on international humanitarian aid and advocacy. She served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the first group posted to the Republic of Armenia. Kara holds a Ph.D. in leadership and change from Antioch University, an M.S. in library science from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, and a B.A. in English from Allegheny College. Brett Bobley is the chief information officer for the National Endowment for the Humanities. He also serves as the director of the Office of Digital Humani- ties. Brett has a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Chicago and an M.S. in computer science from the Johns Hopkins University. In 2006 Bobley received a Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council Leadership Award from the Office of Management and Budget.

  • Beethoven's Fourth Symphony: Comparative Analysis of Recorded Performances, Pp
    BEETHOVEN’S FOURTH SYMPHONY: RECEPTION, AESTHETICS, PERFORMANCE HISTORY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Mark Christopher Ferraguto August 2012 © 2012 Mark Christopher Ferraguto BEETHOVEN’S FOURTH SYMPHONY: RECEPTION, AESTHETICS, PERFORMANCE HISTORY Mark Christopher Ferraguto, PhD Cornell University 2012 Despite its established place in the orchestral repertory, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 in B-flat, op. 60, has long challenged critics. Lacking titles and other extramusical signifiers, it posed a problem for nineteenth-century critics espousing programmatic modes of analysis; more recently, its aesthetic has been viewed as incongruent with that of the “heroic style,” the paradigm most strongly associated with Beethoven’s voice as a composer. Applying various methodologies, this study argues for a more complex view of the symphony’s aesthetic and cultural significance. Chapter I surveys the reception of the Fourth from its premiere to the present day, arguing that the symphony’s modern reputation emerged as a result of later nineteenth-century readings and misreadings. While the Fourth had a profound impact on Schumann, Berlioz, and Mendelssohn, it elicited more conflicted responses—including aporia and disavowal—from critics ranging from A. B. Marx to J. W. N. Sullivan and beyond. Recent scholarship on previously neglected works and genres has opened up new perspectives on Beethoven’s music, allowing for a fresh appreciation of the Fourth. Haydn’s legacy in 1805–6 provides the background for Chapter II, a study of Beethoven’s engagement with the Haydn–Mozart tradition.

The Latin title of the symphony is thought to be derived from the epigram by John Owen, a near-contemporary of Shakespeare, and it was used by Elaine Sisman to support her hypothesis that the slow movement formed part of Haydn’s incidental music for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The enigma can be explained through an analysis informed by concepts native to eighteenth-century music theory. The absent cadences create instances of ellipsis, a rhetorical figure described by Johann Adolph Scheibe and Johann Nikolaus Forkel, and the form plays with a familiar template codified by Heinrich Christoph Koch. This analysis leads to a different interpretation. Rather than suggesting the protagonist of Shakespeare’s tragedy, the movement stages a fictive composer in an act of musical comedy not dissimilar to that in Symphony No.

  • 90 CHAPTER THREE EXECUTION and EXPRESSION H.C. Koch's
    CHAPTER THREE EXECUTION AND EXPRESSION H.C. Koch’s Twofold Definition of Ausführung Heinrich Christoph Koch, in his Musikalisches Lexikon of 1803, defines the word Ausführung in two ways.1 In the first sense of his definition, Ausführung is the portion of the act of composition in which the good composer, with the help of skill and taste, elaborates the ideas emerging from Begeisterung (“inspiration’) and set forth in Anlage (“disposition”), that are the primary content of a piece of music. It is the part of the process in which a composition moves from the composer’s imagination to paper. In the second sense, Ausführung is the act of 1 Heinrich Christoph Koch, Musikalisches Lexikon (Faksimile-Reprint der Ausgabe Frankfurt/Main 1802) (Kassel: Bärenreiter, 2001), 187-94. Wiebke Thormählen’s paper “The Cultural Politics of the Virtuosic Gesture in Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 29” presented at the international conference on “Music and Gesture” at the University of East Anglia in August 2003 first made me aware of this quality of Koch’s definition. Koch’s compositional theories are set out more thoroughly in his Introductory Essay in Composition: The Mechanical Rules of Melody, Sections 3 and 4 trans. Nancy Kovaleff Baker (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1983), where the relevant stages of the compositional process are described in detail (see in particular chapter four, “The Arrangement of Larger Compositions,” 165-248.)

  • 1 Listening for Tertiary Rhetoric in Haydn's Op. 77 String Quartets by Floyd Grave Abstract in a Pair of Recent Essays, Elaine
    1 Grave, Floyd. "Listening for Tertiary Rhetoric in Haydn's Op. 77 String Quartets." HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America 4.1 (Spring 2014), http://haydnjournal.org. © RIT Press and Haydn Society of North America, 2014. Duplication without the express permission of the author, RIT Press, and/or the Haydn Society of North America is prohibited. Listening for Tertiary Rhetoric in Haydn’s Op. 77 String Quartets by Floyd Grave Abstract In a pair of recent essays, Elaine Sisman has advanced a novel approach to the critical analysis of eighteenth-century instrumental works whose invention and publication fall within the familiar custom of the opus group. Citing George Kennedy’s distinction between two species of rhetoric—primary (the speech act itself) and secondary (involved with the reflective practice of rhetorical analysis)—Sisman proposes a third kind, a tertiary rhetoric by which we may imagine the works in an opus group to be engaged in conversation among themselves. Because the rhetorical field envisaged by Sisman’s concept normally comprises a full set of six works (or two sub-groups of three each), the possibilities of tertiary rhetoric are naturally limited in an opus that a composer has left unfinished—limited but not necessarily vitiated. In a famous case of the unfinished opus, Haydn’s Op. 77, which comprises just two quartets, we can discern an array of complementary relationships, stylistic dichotomies, and telling points of intersection by which the two pieces are variously opposed or bound together. The strands of an imaginary dialogue are thus in place, a musical conversation from which fresh insight into the music and its composer can be gained as we listen to the quartets’ discourse over such topics as tonal orientation, thematic construction, motivic process, ensemble play, rhetorical strategy, and the ingredients of structural cohesion.
