The Red Sunflower Sonata: contributions to the viola musical literature
No full textThe Red Sunflower Sonata (2019), object of this study, is the most recent work for viola and piano by Brazilian composer Harry Crowl. In order to better understand the place that the viola played in the history of music, this article makes a historical outline that begins at the end of the century. XIX/ beginning of the XX, when violists from European countries, as well as Russia, presented common aspirations to remove the viola from its, until then, position of secondary importance, that it had occupied until then, largely due to the small number of active soloists and little or almost no specific repertoire for the instrument. During the XX century, this scenario changed and Brazilian composers also started to present works of significant contribution to the viola repertoire.A Sonata do Girassol Vermelho (2019), objeto deste estudo, é a obra mais recente para viola e piano do compositor brasileiro Harry Crowl. Para melhor compreender o lugar que a viola ocupou na história da música, o artigo faz um recorte histórico que tem início no final do séc. XIX/início do XX, quando violistas de países europeus, assim como a Rússia, apresentaram aspirações comuns de tirar a viola de sua, até então, posição de importância secundária, grande parte em razão do pequeno número de solistas em atuação e pouco ou quase nenhum repertório específico para o instrumento. Durante o séc. XX, esse cenário foi modificando-se e os compositores brasileiros passaram a apresentar obras de contribuição significativa para o repertório de viola
Claudio Santoro and Poland: An Aesthetic Approach
No full textThere are many writings about the presence of the Brazilian Composer, Claudio Santoro in Russia, Germany and France. However, litlle research has been done about the time He spent in Poland, in 1955, and also, about the use of a musical language very close to sonorism, features of Krzysztof Penderecki\u27s early output, and controlled aletoricism, present on Witold Lutosławski\u27s compositions. These polish avant-garde styles can be seen in many Brazilian pieces from the late 1960s, including Santoro\u27s works, such as Interações Assintóticas.Há muitos escritos sobre a presença do compositor brasileiro, Claudio Santoro na Rússia, Alemanha e França. No entanto, pouco se pesquisou sobre sua passagem pela Polônia em 1955 e posteriormente sobre o uso de uma linguagem bem próxima a do sonorismo, característica do início da obra de Krzystof Penderecki, e a do aleatorismo controlado, presente na criação de Witold Lutosławski. Estes estilos oriundos da vanguarda polonesa estão presentes em muitas composições brasileiras dos anos 1960, incluindo obras de Santoro, como a peça Interações Assintóticas
A recepção do sonorismo polonês por parte dos compositores brasileiros
Get PDFResumo: Sonorismo é um estilo musical que surgiu na Polônia no final dos anos 1950 e causou uma mudança fundamental nos valores da hierarquia musical: no lugar da melodia, harmonia, metro e ritmo, o som tornou-se o agente principal. As experiências do sonorismo levaram a descobertas da riqueza de novos valores sonoros. Muitos compositores brasileiros foram influenciados pelo sonorismo, mas este é um assunto que ainda carece de estudo, pois de acordo com as pesquisas há somente um artigo escrito sobre o tema. As principais fontes para esta dissertação foram as entrevistas com Edino Krieger, Marlos Nobre e Harry Crowl. Eles proveram novos dados sobre o tema, possibilitando a conclusão de como os compositores brasileiros entraram em contato com o estilo e de como começaram a utilizá-lo em suas próprias obras

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
