John Tyrrell – výjimečný janáčkovský životopisec a editor
Get PDFProfessor John Tyrrell is one of the leading musicologists specializing in Czech music and most importantly in the composer Leoš Janáček. Tyrrell died on 4 October 2018. His interest in Janáček finds expression in several scholarly spheres. The first analyses Janáček's dramatic compositions, the second involves studies in history and historiography – however, these often permeate the analysis. Further spheres include translations of crucial sources to English, compiling the catalogue of Janáček's works, editorial and promotional work. The analytic sphere's important item is the author's dissertation of 1968 on Janáček's Stylistic Development as an Operatic Composer as Evidenced in his Revisions of the First Five Operas. Here he studies Janáček's dramaturgic attitude to the music drama. It was already in this study when Tyrrell noticed a certain autonomy of singing and the orchestra. Part of this issue was also expressed in the study O připojování slova k hudbě v Janáčkových operách (On Attachment of Words to Music in Janáček's Operas). This was followed by the outstanding text Janáček and the Speech-Melody-Myth of 1971 where he answerd the question if it is true that in Janáček's music everything grows up of the speech melodies. Tyrrell's historical texts include the extensive study on the Excursion of Mr. Brouček to the Moon (1969). It was the first relevant text on the issue of problems concerning this opera. Also Tyrrell's opus magnum mustn't be omitted: he worked on it for many years and made good use here of his lifelong experience and knowledge of Janáček's life and works. It is the two-volume Janáček: Years of a Life. It is a truly brilliant monograph, built on deep knowledge of different documents, literature and period conditions. It could hardly be surpassed. The important published translations fulfill Tyrrell's wish to provide the English speaking scholars with basic sources. A solitary work, however fundamental, is the thematic catalogue of Janáček's works, both musical and literary: Janáček's Works. A Catalogue of the Music and Writings of Leoš Janáček. Editiorial work was also crucial: together with the conductor Charles Mackerras, they prepared the editions of operas Jenůfa (Brno version of 1908) and From the House of the Dead. John Tyrrell is certainly one of the leading musicologists in history. His interest in Janáček makes him a fundamental Janáček scholar, together with professors Vladimír Helfert and Bohumír Štědroň

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
