    The viola, its foundation, role, and literature including an analysis of the twelve caprices by Lillian Fuchs

    Discussion in this document is directed toward two main areas: Chapters two, three, and four are concerned with the development of the viola as a serious musical instrument in the orchestral, chamber, and solo genres. The history of the instrument is presented on a parallel track with that of the violin, showing how the viola is similar to, and differs from the violin, with respect to the size and most importantly, playing technique. An attempt is made to show that historically there has been a lack of understanding on the part of most pedagogues concerning the subtle differences in performance technique between violin and viola. This is accomplished by a comparison of methods and studies for both instruments from the Harmonie Universelle of Mersenne through the development of the French School, including Kreutzer, Rode, Gavinies, and others. Such comparison leads the author to state that there is little which actually acknowledges the differences between playing violin and viola.The author states that the main problems between the two instruments are mostly a matter of degree with regard to such techniques as extension, shifting, finger percussion, double-stop articulations, and bowing. Such discussion leads to the conclusion that there is a need for technical studies which will provide for this above-stated degree of difference, and put the "finishing touches" on the violist's playing technique.It is the opinion of this author that such technical studies are embodied in the form of Twelve Caprices for Viola by Lillian Fuchs. These caprices were written by Miss Fuchs to help her overcome performance problems with which she was faced.Part two of this dissertation is an analysis of the Twelve Caprices. In preparing this analysis the author approached the principal problems of each hand and addressed himself to the methods for surmounting each separate problem. Each caprice is methodically analyzed in some detail, avoiding redundancy by discussing only new techniques as they occur, and not restating problems which are the same in more than one caprice.Thesis (D.A.

    Imanta

    Imanta is a cultural support organization formed on March 8, 1947 in Edmonton, Alberta. Imanta was founded by Ted Baker and Latvian people previously established in Alberta. Ted Baker's wife Viola Baker, also supported Ted's belief in the value of a formal organization that would serve as a contact point for new Latvian immigrants. Imanta originally helped immigrants connect with other Latvians and settle in the province. Imanta has continued to remain a vital cultural part of Latvian society in Alberta. The Edmonton Latvian Society "Imanta" meets regularly, through many social and cultural gatherings and formal events. The Imanta resource network remains a vital part of Latvian society in Alberta today.Imanta 1.

    Abitare con arte. La casa fra bellezza e utilità nella ricerca italiana.

    Il testo raccoglie una selezione di scritti e progetti sul tema dell???abitazione prodotti in Italia fra le due guerre che nel loro insieme delineano i caratteri di una ricerca alternativa alla concezione, prevalente nel Movimento Moderno, della casa come ???macchina per abitare???. L???idea che il comfort di un???abitazione fosse determinato non solo dalla soddisfazione dei bisogni fisici, ma anche dalla qualità dei suoi spazi e dalla loro corrispondenza con le aspirazioni intellettuali e percettive dell???uomo, unisce in questi anni personaggi molto diversi per formazione, da Gio Ponti a Ernesto Rogers a Salvatore Vitale. Quattro i principali temi di riflessione, che costituiscono anche i capitoli in cui questo libro è articolato: l???aspirazione ad una qualità diffusa dell???abitare e l???attenzione verso l???architettura ???spontanea???, il conflitto fra l???utilità e la bellezza che segna la nascita dell???architettura moderna, la specificità dell???architettura domestica italiana, la qualità degli spazi abitati e le relazioni con l???ambiente. Riletta a distanza di cinquanta anni, questa stimolante esperienza possiede una chiarezza ed una precisione di idee, una tensione etica ed artistica per noi oggi quasi improponibile e alla quale è utile guardare, non con sguardo nostalgico, ma in maniera costruttiva per ritrovare i significati profondi del fare architettura e restituire un valore al lavoro di progettisti
