Abstract:

Esta dissertação consiste na tradução comentada do tratado L\'Art de Preluder de Jacques Martin Hotteterre - Le Romain (1674-1763), publicado em Paris em 1719. Este trabalho teve como objetivo ampliar a literatura em língua portuguesa para a flauta doce, tornando-o acessível aos estudantes de música e principalmente aos instrumentistas de sopro que se preocupam com uma performance historicamente orientada. Para tanto, foram estudados termos importantes que circundam a Arte de Preludiar de Hotteterre de acordo com as fontes primárias, como os dicionários setecentistas de Furetière e Brossard, e fontes secundárias, como o dicionário de Benoit. A pesquisa de termos indicou a dimensão retórica de diversos conceitos utilizados no tratado, tais como arte, engenho, capricho, princípios, método etc. Além da pesquisa de elementos gerais pertencentes ao estilo barroco francês, uma biografia do instrumentista e compositor, a relação de suas obras e, ainda, o resgate do significado setecentista do gênero musical \"prelúdio\", são partes integrantes deste trabalho. Este trabalho mostra que a técnica de improvisação apresentada por Hotteterre é baseada em práticas francesas e italianas. Esse fato permitiu conhecer uma nova dimensão da influência italiana na música francesa do início do Setecentos.
This work is a commented translation of the treaty L\'Art de Preluder by Jacques Martin Hotteterre Le Romain (1674-1783), published in Paris in 1719. The purpose of this work is to extend the recorder references in Portuguese language, making it accessible to music students and wind musicians that care about historical performance. For that, all-important terms that were used in the treaty were studied with the primary sources, like Brossard and Furetières eighteenth dictionaries, and with secondary sources, like the Benoit Dictionary. This research of terms points to a rhetorical dimension of various terms used in the treated, like art, wit (ingenium), caprice, principles, method, etc. Beyond the research of French styles general elements, a musician composers biography, his works list, and so the eighteenth means of the prelude musical genre, are part of this work. The research points that Hotteterres improvisation technique is based in Italian and French practices. This fact allowed to know a new dimension of the Italian influence in the French early eighteenth century music.

Abstract:

Abstract All neurons and macroglial cells of vertebrates derive from the neuroepithelium. Neuroepithelial (NE) cells first proliferate and, after closure of the neural tube, some cells start generating neurons. It is still unclear what triggers differentiation but apparently there is interplay between extrinsic (secreted or transmembrane signals) and intrinsic factors. Diriving from the embryonic ectoderm, the NE cells inherit epithelial characteristics. It has been shown in other developmental systems that epithelial determinants, such as cell-cell contacts and contact to basal laminar components can guide differentiation. The key epithelial features include cell polarity, and tight junctions. We studied these in the NE at two developmental stages, the neural plate, a proliferative stage and the neural tube, a differentiative stage. The polarity of membrane proteins in NE cells was studied with polarly budding viruses. Mouse embryos were infected with Fowl plague- and vesicular stomatitis viruses and cultured in a whole embryo culture system. Viral envelope proteins (HA and G-protein) were localized by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. HA was polarized in the plate stage neuroepithelial cells, whereas in the tube it was not polarized anymore. It is also shown by penetrance of apically injected horseradish peroxidase that in the neural plate, NE cells have functional tight junctions. At this stage, they also express occludin, a transmembrane protein of tight junctions, as shown by indirect immunofluorescence. In the neural tube, the paracellular barrier is lost and there is no occludin expression. In contrast, expression of ZO-1, a cytoplasmic protein binding to occiudin, is upregulated. The downregulation of these epithelial features occurs in all NE cells, irrespective of their mode of division and before any neurons are generated in the NE. The change is initiated already at the plate stage and coincides with the switch from E- to N-cadherin. Later, with birth of neurons, the proliferative cell layer also looses contact to basal lamina. This is probably an important step in the regulation of neurogenesis. Furthermore, lack of apico-basolateral polarity of non-anchored membrane proteins may contribute to the mechanism of rapid neuron generation. Until now, it has been impossible to distinguish a neuroepithelial cell preparing for neuron generation from the surrounding cells that give rise to two precursor cells. In this study, the immediate neuron precursors are shown to express the antiproliferative gene TIS2 1. Using this new marker and ISH in serial sections, we show that the switch to differentiation is initiated in single NE cells.

This thesis is a study in large-scale musical form and utilization of the Western symphony orchestra. It explores the problems of large-scale musical structure by employing symmetrical, yet radically contrasting sections held together by a framework of liberally interpreted classical forms (rondo and sonata in particular). Problems of orchestration have been resolved through consultation with experts, coursework and individual study, and the emulation of pre-existing masterworks.

Abstract:

This article explores the beginnings of Mesoamerican civilization (meaning the origins of institutionalized, hereditary inequality, rank societies, and chiefdoms) during the Early Formative period (1900-100 BC). Before one can identify the processes of socio-political evolution it is first necessary to identify concrete examples of societies, and their attributes, which underwent this transformation. I outline data for six Mesoamerican cases of the shift from egalitarian societies to chiefdoms. Four of them are from the Tropical lowlands (Paso de la Amada, San Lorenzo, Puerto Escondido, and Cahal Pech), and two are from the Mexican Highlands (Tlapacoya and San José Mogote).
Este artículo trata acerca de los inicios de la civilización en Mesoamérica, es decir, los orígenes de la complejidad social, las desigualdades hereditarias institucionalizadas, las sociedades diferenciadas por rangos y las jefaturas durante el Periodo Formativo Temprano (c. 1900-100 a.C.). Antes de que se puedan discernir los procesos de evolución sociopolítica, primero es necesario identificar ejemplos concretos de sociedades, y sus atributos correspondientes, que experimentaron esa transformación. Aquí se resaltan los datos de seis casos del cambio de sociedades igualitarias a jefaturas de Mesoamérica: cuatro de tierras bajas tropicales (Paso de la Amada, San Lorenzo, Puerto Escondido y Cahal Pech) y dos de la sierra de México (Tlapacoya y San José Mogote).

Abstract:

This essay in musicology is combined with a CD-recording of piano improvisations. Its purpose is, on the one hand, to examine some of the ideas permeating piano improvisation during the first part of the nineteenth century, and, on the other, to find ways to apply these nineteenth century ideas of improvising to modern piano playing. The artistic part of the work is as important as the theoretical, and the two strands are supporting and reinforcing each other.

The first section of the text focuses on preluding – that is, a genre of improvisation. The second section investigates some aspects of the improvising of Franz Liszt – that is, different types of improvisation as practised by an important nineteenth century musician. The instructional music literature written by Carl Czerny is the basic source of reference in both portions.

The text and the recordings of my piano improvisations aim to show that monothematic strategies are simple and useful tools for improvising, regardless of tonal language used.

Half of the recordings consist of improvisations of separate pieces in a contemporary musical language. The other half are preludes, interludes and a cadenza improvised in the context of compositions by Liszt, Chopin, Mozart, Mendelssohn and Grieg.

Abstract:

Forest models are tools for explaining and predicting the dynamics of forest ecosystems. They simulate forest behavior by integrating information on the underlying processes in trees, soil and atmosphere. Bayesian calibration is the application of probability theory to parameter estimation. It is a method, applicable to all models, that quantifies output uncertainty and identifies key parameters and variables. This study aims at testing the Bayesian procedure for calibration to different types of forest models, to evaluate their performances and the uncertainties associated with them. In particular,we aimed at 1) applying a Bayesian framework to calibrate forest models and test their performances in different biomes and different environmental conditions, 2) identifying and solve structure-related issues in simple models, and 3) identifying the advantages of additional information made available when calibrating forest models with a Bayesian approach. We applied the Bayesian framework to calibrate the Prelued model on eight Italian eddy-covariance sites in Chapter 2. The ability of Prelued to reproduce the estimated Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) was tested over contrasting natural vegetation types that represented a wide range of climatic and environmental conditions. The issues related to Prelued's multiplicative structure were the main topic of Chapter 3: several different MCMC-based procedures were applied within a Bayesian framework to calibrate the model, and their performances were compared. A more complex model was applied in Chapter 4, focusing on the application of the physiology-based model HYDRALL to the forest ecosystem of Lavarone (IT) to evaluate the importance of additional information in the calibration procedure and their impact on model performances, model uncertainties, and parameter estimation. Overall, the Bayesian technique proved to be an excellent and versatile tool to successfully calibrate forest models of different structure and complexity, on different kind and number of variables and with a different number of parameters involved

Abstract:

The Prelude, Chorale and Fantasy is a tonally conceived work for orchestra with a duration of approximately twenty minutes which uses as its inspiration the final chapter of Ecclesiastes. It is constructed from a relatively small number of germinal elements which function throughout the work as connecting forces and icons. In it can be found musical ideas used to represent the Trinity, the most significant of which are the quotations of the hymn "How Brightly Shines the Morning Star" which appear throughout.
A greater understanding of the work can be gained by approaching it first on a philosophical level, making connections between the Biblical text and the music and extrapolating from those connections. Following this, a step by step analysis will show the microscopic structure of the work and its relationship to the larger form.

Abstract:

Eggs are potential hosts and carriers for pathogenic microbes like Salmonella enteritidis, due to their rich nutritive value. Heat pasteurization is a best solution for controlling these pathogens. Egg is used as a vital ingredient in several foods, especially for their exceptional functional properties. These properties mainly depend on the protein quality of the eggs and are severely affected when heated, due to protein denaturation. Thus a heat pasteurization technique with minimal changes to these proteins needs consideration. In this study, microwave heating has been considered for in-shell egg pasteurization. First of all, the effects of temperature (0-62oC) and frequency (200 MHz to 10 GHz) on the dielectric properties of egg components were investigated. Then, individual egg components as well as intact in-shell eggs were brought to pasteurization temperature in a laboratory scale microwave oven working at 2450 MHz using different power densities (0.75, 1 and 2 W/g) and heating curve was analyzed to determine the heating time required for different power levels. Laboratory trials on microwave heating of in-shell eggs indicated that the heating rates of both albumen and yolk were similar. Therefore, microwave heating appeared perfectly suited for in-shell egg pasteurization. Combination of egg geometry, dielectric properties, and size were the main factors responsible for the enhanced interior heating. Models for calculating the ε’ and ε” at a given frequency and temperature for shell egg components were also presented. Heat pasteurization affects the functional quality of the eggs. In the final part of this study, the heat induced changes with respect to physical properties like enthalpy of denaturation, viscosity, foam density, foam stability and turbidity and also the dielectric properties, brought about by microwave and water bath heating for in-shell pasteurization of the egg white were compared with that of the raw egg white.

Les œufs peuvent être hôtes et porteurs de microbes pathogènes comme Salmonella enteritidis, étant donné leur haute valeur nutritive. La pasteurisation par échauffement est une excellente solution pour contrôler les éléments pathogènes. L’œuf est utilisé comme un ingrédient essentiel dans plusieurs préparations culinaires, spécialement pour ses propriétés fonctionnelles exceptionnelles. Ces propriétés dépendent principalement sur la qualité de la protéine présente dans l’œuf et sont sévèrement affectées lorsque chauffé, dénaturant ainsi la protéine. Ainsi, une technique de pasteurisation par échauffement ayant des effets minimaux sur la modification des protéines nécessite considération. Dans cette étude, l’échauffement par micro-onde fut considéré pour la pasteurisation de l’œuf à l’intérieur de sa coquille. Premièrement, les effets de la température (0-62 °C) et de la fréquence (200 MHz à 10 GHz) sur les propriétés diélectriques des parties de l’œuf furent investiguées. Ensuite, les composantes individuelles de l’œuf ainsi que des œufs complets avec leurs coquilles furent amenés à des températures de pasteurisation à l’aide d’un four micro-onde de laboratoire fonctionnant à 2450 MHz, utilisant différentes densités de puissance (0.75, 1 et 2 W/g). De plus, une courbe d’analyse thermique simple à l’échauffement fut analysée pour déterminer le temps d’échauffement nécessaire pour différents niveaux de puissance. Les essais de laboratoire sur l’échauffement par micro-onde sur les œufs avec coquille indiquèrent que les taux d’échauffement pour l’albumine et le jaune d’œuf étaient similaires. Donc, l’échauffement par micro-onde apparaît parfaitement appliqué pour la pasteurisation de l’œuf en coquille.

Abstract:

Aging of freshly harvested wheat grains for several years helps in enhancing the characteristics of flour components, thereby improving their functionality in bread making. This usual process of aging is highly time consuming, hence there is a need for an alternative process for improvement of the baking quality of flour in a shorter period of time of storage. In this study, effect of accelerated aging of the freshly harvested grains on physico-chemical and thermal properties of the flour constituents has been studied. The aging is accelerated by storing the wheat grains at a temperature between 30˚C and 50˚C for a period of 2-8 days with moisture contents of 12-18% w.b. (wet basis). Laboratory work on the chosen cultivar A.C. Walton was carried out. It was found that the total starch content and protein content of the flour decreased at the elevated temperatures and with longer storage periods, irrespective of the moisture content of the grains. On the other hand, the thermal properties of the aged wheat flour enhanced with the increase in the gelatinization temperature of starch, as compared to the freshly harvested grains. Hence the effect of accelerated aging of wheat grains on the physico-chemical and thermal properties of the flour was studied. The regression model developed clearly explained the effects of the three parameters including storage temperature, moisture content of grains and duration of storage, on the baking qualities of the flour.
Outre les protéines et leurs propriétés élastiques, de nombreux ingrédients de la farine, dont l'amidon et les lipides, contribuent aux propriétés fonctionnelles et rhéologiques des pâtes. Le vieillissement des grains de blé contribue à améliorer les caractéristiques des composants de la farine de blé. Ce processus de vieillissement naturel est long et l'industrie est présentement à la recherche de procédés non chimiques qui permettraient d'accélérer le vieillissement des grains de blé afin d'améliorer des farines de qualité supérieure rapidement après la récolte. Dans cette étude, l'effet de vieillissement accéléré des grains fraîchement récoltés sur les propriétés physico-chimiques et thermiques des constituants de la farine a été étudié. Le vieillissement a été accéléré en exposant les grains de blé dont la teneur en eau était entre 12 et 18% (base humide), à des températures allant de 30 à 50°C pendant des périodes de temps allant de 2 à 8 jours. La variété de blé AC Walton a été utilisée pour les essais sur le vieillissement accéléré. Les résultats ont indiqué que l'augmentation de la température et du temps de stockage ont eu pour effet de réduire les teneurs en amidon et en protéines, et que ces dernières n'avaient pas été affectées par la teneur en eau des grains de blé. De plus, les farines obtenues à partir des grains ayant subits les traitements de vieillissement accéléré ont exhibé des températures de gélatinisation supérieures à celles des farines faites à partir de grains frais non-traités. Cette étude a permis d'établir les relations mathématiques entre les paramètres (température, durée, et teneur en eau) utilisés pour accélérer le vieillissement du blé et les qualités boulangères des farines obtenues.

Abstract:

Owing to their rich nutritive value, eggs serve as potential hosts to pathogenic microbes like Salmonella enteritidis. Administering heat treatments is the best solution for controlling these pathogens. However, heating affects the quality of the egg due to denaturation of proteins. Therefore a technique which causes minimal changes to the functional properties of the egg protein needs consideration.In this study, the suitability of Radio frequency (RF) treatments of eggs is evaluated for effectiveness in terms of reducing/eliminating the microbial load. Finite difference time domains (FDTD) and Finite element models (FEM) were developed based on preliminary laboratory trials to simulate the electric field and temperature distribution in the egg components keeping in mind the dielectric properties, shape and composition of in-shell eggs.Laboratory scale experiments were conducted to determine the dielectric properties of individual egg components followed by an investigation of the heating rates of individual egg components as well as intact in-shell eggs at different electric field strengths, where the electrode voltages are 2.5 kV, 3.5 kV and 4.25 kV with 60 mm spacing between the electrodes. The heating trends were then analyzed to obtain the time required to attain the targeted temperature. Models for calculating the dielectric parameters were presented.As heat treatments invariably affect the functional properties of eggs the heat induced changes with respect to properties like foam stability, foam density, viscosity and turbidity were studied and compared with the physical properties of raw eggs. RF treated eggs showed minimal changes at lower power levels. However the change in properties was more pronounced at higher power levels. The coagulation taking place within the eggs at higher power levels with a view to assessing the quality of heat treated eggs was studied by means of hyperspectral imaging (400-1700 nm).The heat treatment process was validated by inoculating egg with a microbial contaminant and treating them in an RF applicator. The results indicated that RF heating may possibly serve as a way to pasteurize the eggs provided the process is improved and optimized to reach the required pasteurization temperature with minimum damage to the functional properties of the egg.
En raison de leur riche valeur nutritive, les œufs frais peuvent potentiellement être contaminés par des microorganismes pathogènes comme la Salmonella enteritidis. Il est possible de contrôler les pathogènes alimentaires par l'utilisation judicieuses de traitements thermiques. Cependant, les traitements thermiques conventionnels causent la dénaturation totale ou partielle des protéines présentent dans le blanc et le jaune d'oeuf. Par conséquent, une technique qui permettrait de contrôler la contamination dans les œufs frais tout en maintenant les propriétés fonctionnelles des protéines de l'œuf doit être examinée.Dans cette étude, l'adéquation de l'énergie des fréquences radios (RF) à 27 MHz pour le traitement thermique des œufs frais a été est évaluée. Des modèles en différences finies à dimension temporelle (FDTD) et des modèles d'éléments finis (FEM) ont été développés et utilisés pour simuler le champ électrique et pour prédire la distribution de la température dans les œufs frais en coquille et cela, en tenant compte des propriétés diélectriques, de la géométrie et la composition.Les propriétés diélectriques des composants de l'œuf ont été mesurées en tenant compte de leur dépendance à la température. Par la suite, des essais en laboratoire ont été effectués pour déterminer les taux de chauffage des composants exposés à des niveaux de puissance de 2,5 3,5 et 4,25 kV. Les tendances de chauffage diélectrique ont été analysées et les temps requis pour atteindre la température cible ont été déterminés. Les modèles de prédiction des paramètres diélectriques ont aussi été développés.Les effets des traitements thermiques sur les propriétés fonctionnelles des composants des oeufs ont été étudiés. Les paramètres retenus étaient : la stabilité et la densité de la mousse, la viscosité et la turbidité des blancs d'œufs. Les résultats on indiqués que propriétés fonctionnelles des œufs traités aux niveaux de puissance de 2,5 et 3,5 kV étaient presque identiques à celles des œufs frais non-traités. Cependant, les changements observés étaient plus prononcés 4,25 kV. L'imagerie hyperspectrale (400 à 1 700 nm) a été utilisée pour déceler la coagulation du blanc d'œuf après le traitement thermique des œufs en coquille.Le processus de traitement thermique a été validé par l'inoculation d'œufs frais avec une souche non-pathogénique de E. Coli. Par la suite, les œufs inoculés ont été traités thermiquement à l'aide du chauffage RF. Les résultats ont indiqué que le chauffage RF à 27 MHz était une méthode qui offrait un bon potentiel pour pasteuriser les œufs frais en coquille. D'autres études seront nécessaires pour optimiser la distribution de l'énergie RF et minimiser ses effets sur les propriétés fonctionnelles du blanc d'œuf.

Abstract:

Nikolai Kapustin was born in 1937 and has been active as a composer since the late 1950s, though he has only become relatively well known in the West since around 2000. Despite the fact that he has spent his whole life in Russia, Kapustin was strongly influenced by American jazz and his compositional style has always been a combination of the formal elements of classical music and the stylistic elements of jazz. Critics have all commented on Kapustin's astute blend of classical form and jazz style, mentioning the influence of Russian composers Rachmaninov and Scriabin, while also noting echoes of Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Chick Corea. The Twenty-Four Preludes, Op. 53 were published in 1988 and follow the key sequence set forth by the Chopin Preludes, Op. 28. These preludes are as virtuosic and ambitious as those of Chopin, Scriabin, and Rachmaninov.A close examination of the score of the Twenty-Four Preludes, Op. 53 reveals that Kapustin uses several methods of thematic organization, including variations of scoring, thematic transformation, and spinning out the germ of an idea in a more improvisatory way and that these techniques can be traced directly to the music of Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Liszt, and Beethoven. There are examples of ternary, rondo, and monothematic forms, and the ternary Preludes in particular contain elements similar to sonata-allegro form. Kapustin's musical language is infused with the harmonic and rhythmic elements of jazz, with ample use of added note chords in sophisticated voicings. The echoes of various jazz artists are represented by his skilled use of pianistic techniques like stride and walking bass along with a broad range of harmonic and rhythmic devices that span the stylistic range from Swing and Novelty piano, to Bebop and contemporary Jazz-rock. Though he is clearly familiar with standard jazz harmonic devices, he uses them sparingly, preferring instead to use modulation and developmental models that are grounded in classical music practice. From modern jazz, he takes quartal, pentatonic, and diminished harmony, along with highly chromatic two-voiced textures similar to those used by jazz artists from the 1960s onward, particularly Miles Davis.

Abstract:

Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale preludes are varied and artistic not only in the treatment of chorale melodies, but also in the accompaniments of those chorale melodies. This study examines the accompaniments of Bach's long chorale preludes, focusing on identifying the various types and the characteristics that make them unique. This study investigates the two broad categories of accompaniments depending on whether the motives are chorale-derived or independent of the chorale. While the chorale prelude accompaniments in the first large group are closely related, the accompaniments of the chorale preludes in the second group stand independently and illustrate the vast range of Bach's compositional skill. Both groups demonstrate Bach's interest in expanding his predecessors' models, a trait that can be traced throughout all of Bach's compositional history.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the role of imagination in "The Prelude," within the context of recent criticism. In accordance with the impact of new historicism on contemporary Wordsworth studies, considerable attention is given to new historicist readings. It is argued that new history's methodological approach generally undervalues the complex texture of subjectivity in "The Prelude." New historical critiques tend to interpret the Wordsworthian imagination merely as a narrative strategy that enables the poet to displace or elide socio-historical realities. However, "The Prelude" does not entirely support such a reading. On the basis of Wordsworth's autobiography and related prose works, it is asserted that the poet's consciousness of creative decline and mortality potently informs his sense of imagination, and eventuates in a mode of self-perception that precludes subjective autonomy and socio-historical displacement.

Abstract:

My thesis explores how Wordsworth develops his poetic identity in ‘Growth of a Poet’s Mind’ in The Prelude. I argue that Wordsworth’s attempt to stabilize an identity in the mutability of time – in writing – results in a self precariously situated between past and present, speech and silence, for example. This thesis will examine how Wordsworth engages with time and language in his creation of ‘timely utterances’ about the self in The Prelude throughout the process of his writing. The identity Wordsworth seeks to stabilize in writing is not stabilizable because of ‘two consciousnesses’. However, Wordsworth projects a continuity of self by looking back to ‘a dark / Invisible workmanship’ in his childhood communion with nature, which generated the aspiration to ‘some philosophic Song’ that Wordsworth, now, still feels and acts upon. My thesis goes on to look at how Wordsworth, in the act of writing, tries to establish an identity as a poet in the very act of rising to the challenge of being a poet posed by the French Revolution. As a result, it is precisely such recognition of fragmentations and contradictions in his identity-formation that keeps Wordsworth’s writing moving forward and evolving into an epic poem for humanity. In the formulation and reformulation of self, Wordsworth comes to recognize that his self is subject to continual revisions of his poetic ‘self’ in The Prelude. The represented self of Wordsworth vanishes into language in his act of writing. But in the act of self-representation, Wordsworth protects his self from the ‘defacing’ power of language by locating the self in the silence left by ‘life’. Nevertheless, Wordsworth also recognizes the generative powers of language for poetically reconstructing the self as a ‘[prophet] of Nature’. However, a profound recognition of and restless dissatisfaction with the otherness of language locates the Wordsworth of The Prelude ‘midway’ between the construction of a coherent textual identity and the recognition of identifications that reach beyond textuality. One of these identifications is to be found in Wordsworth’s relation to Coleridge. Taking up the poetic project of prophesying hope to the humankind Coleridge assigned him, Wordsworth attempts to escape the contradiction between his own aims and those of Coleridge by using the recreative powers of language to recreate Coleridge and his project while recognizing his poetic obligation to Coleridge. Equally, in the act of rewriting a self, Wordsworth recognizes a sense of self perpetually subject to change and revision, and his relationship with Coleridge is valued for its power to stimulate such change. Wordsworth’s lifelong re-interpretation, re-evaluation and revision of his project constitute an identity that is perpetually shifting, evolving, self-transforming.

Abstract:

The set of preludes containing twenty-four preludes is an important compositional form used throughout the Common Practice Period. The twenty-four prelude set generally includes preludes written in each key and mode. Early sets include preludes or fantasies composed in each mode. Composers exploited and advocated the advent of equal-temperament tuning (at the turn of the eighteenth century) by organizing preludes in each major and minor key. Since then, the number of prelude sets has increased greatly, particularly during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Although music today has moved beyond the confines or parameters of major and minor tonalities, composers continue to use the twenty-four prelude set to collect preludes, including some atonal sets. The twenty-four prelude set model extends to sets of twenty-five preludes that begin and end in the same key and twenty-four preludes without keys. Composers use different methods of tonal organization in their sets of preludes: two principal methods are progression through the chromatic scale and progression through the circle of fifths. Within those two methods are variations. Other composers use unique forms of organization, and some do not attempt a systematic method of organization. Several types of prelude sets appear, including preludes of virtuosity, preludes for pedagogical purposes, preludes as improvisatory warm-ups, preludes paired with fugues, and prelude sets that are performed as a whole. One must weigh various considerations when performing a set or smaller grouping of preludes. Over forty sets of preludes are surveyed, and four sets are examined in detail representing different methods of tonal organization, different types of prelude sets, and different historical periods: Fischer's Ariadne Musica, Hummel's Twenty-Four Preludes op. 67, Alkan's Twenty-Five Preludes op. 31, and Duckworth's The Time Curve Preludes.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on a group of keyboard pieces composed in the first half of the twentieth century entitled ‘prelude’, and explores the issue of genre, investigating the significance in the application of this generic title, and the development of the piano prelude in this period. The application of a generic title often invokes the expectation of its generic features its conventional and formal characteristics. Though the prelude is one of the oldest genres in the history of keyboard music, it has relatively few conventions, and hence, with the abandonment of its primary function the prefatory role in the nineteenth century, it has been considered an indeterminate genre. Rachmaninoff, however, asserted that a generic title should carry with it appropriate generic manifestations, which parallelled similar generic concepts in literature. This expectation of generic traits is like setting up a ‘generic contract’, offering an invitation to either conform or reform, and thus affecting its course of development. A survey of the prelude’s historical development points to six rather consistent generic conventional and formal characteristics: (i) tonality, (ii) pianistic/technical figuration, (iii) thematic treatment and formal structure, (iv) improvisatory style, (v) mood content, and (vi) brevity. Though these general characteristics may overlap with other genres, it is their collective characteristics that have contributed to the genre’s unique identity. These features form the basis for an exploration of the conformity to, or further evolution of, these characteristics in the preludes of the early twentieth century. From the substantial number of piano preludes composed in this period, selected sets, representative of the various stylistic manifestations of the period, are analysed in relation to the identified generic characteristics. The examination reveals that these preludes, though apparently diversified in style and outlook, exhibit affinity in one form or another to the generic characteristics. Each example exhibits different treatments of the generic characteristics reflective of twentieth-century developments, whilst retaining its generic identity. The prelude is thus an amalgamation of a tonal, technical and affective piece, which may be considered a combination of a tonal essay, a study/toccata, and a character piece; and collectively, a sequence of tonalities, a collection of pianistic technical studies, and a compendium of musical styles/genres in miniature.

Abstract:

This thesis presents an approach by which an automated teaching system can analyse the design of novices' Prolog programs for tutorial critiquing. Existing methodologies for tutorial analysis of programs focus on the kind of small programming examples that are used only in the early stages of teaching. If an automated teaching system is to be widely useful, it must cover a substantial amount of the teaching syllabus, and a critiquing system must be able to analyse and critique programs written during the later stages of the syllabus. The work is motivated by a study of students' Prolog programs which were written as assessed exercises towards the end of their course. These programs all work (in some sense), yet they reveal a wide range of design flaws (bodges) for which some form of tutoring would be useful. They present problems for any automated analysis in terms of the size of the programs, the number of individual decisions that must be made to create each program and the range of correct and incorrect decisions that may be made in each case. This study identifies two areas in the analysis of students' program in which further work is needed. Existing work has focussed only on the design and implementation decisions that relate closely to the programming language. That is not sufficient for these slightly more advanced programs, for which decisions in the problem domain must also be recognised. Existing work has focussed on the different ways to implement code, but in these programs the students also make decisions about which data structures are to be used. These decisions must also be part of an analysis.

Abstract:

Throughout centuries of great classical music, many viola compositions have been crafted from a wealth of literature for instruments of similar range. Clarinet, violin, and cello concerti and ensemble literature often adapt into challenging literature for the viola. In November 2009, Oxford Music Publishing gave me permission to transcribe and perform the Prelude, Allegro, and Pastorale by Rebecca Clarke in New York's famed Carnegie Hall - Weill Recital Hall. This dissertation explains the process by which I transcribed the Prelude, Allegro, and Pastorale from an original Bb-clarinet/viola duo, to a new arrangement for two violas (approved by Oxford Music Press arrangement license #7007940), and discusses challenges faced throughout the transcription process.

Abstract:

Ocean Waves: Nine Preludes for Solo Piano is a collection of preludes that sets ocean waves and sea currents for piano. The preludes range from being minimal and sparse in content, to being melodic and heavy in material. Waves of notes are used to push in and out of new musical ideas throughout the preludes. The work experiments with note density, motivic growth, and multiple pitch centers and harmonic structures all while centering around the musical color of each prelude.
