Concerto for piano solo (homage to Alkan)
No full textThis work was written as a homage to the 19th-century French composer, Charles-Valentin Alkan, the specific reference point being Alkan’s Concerto for Piano Solo Op.39 nos 8-10 (1857).
As an exemplar of a highly rarified genre, Alkan’s Concerto has no real precursors and only three successors in the public literature: Sorabji’s Concerto per suonare da me solo (1946), and Michael Finnissy’s Piano Concerto No 4 (1978-96) and No 6 (1980-81). The idea of evoking orchestral or other instrumental sounds at the keyboard is not new, but as a concept it has been articulated in the literature on music surprisingly infrequently, especially from the point of view of practical pianism. One source where detailed recommendations can be found is Alfred Brendel’s essay ‘Liszt’ (Musical Thoughts and Afterthoughts, London, 1976). I have been inspired by, and have drawn on, Brendel’s suggestions in my conception of the piece’s imaginary ‘orchestration’ (as manifested through performance directions in the score and specific articulations in performance), seeking to give the impression of both orchestral accompaniment and piano sound through one keyboard.
This being a work of homage, in a couple of places I have used direct quotations from Alkan’s oeuvre: the end of the first movement of his Symphony, Op.39 no 4 (b.1) and the trio of the Scherzo Diabolico Op.39 no 3 (b.5); other more subtle allusions occur elsewhere. In a sense, my concerto starts where Alkan’s symphonic movement (Op.39 no 4 in C minor) leaves off. While the four movements of the concerto proper use determinate notation, I have introduced an element of indeterminacy in the cadenza, which is to be prepared or improvised in response to graphic-score elements – referencing both the earlier Classical/Romantic tradition of improvised cadenzas, and post-1950 experimentalism

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
