The author seeks to characterize their imagery, musical language means and technical difficulties that can be encountered by young performers. The works analyzed are approved in the author's teaching practice. The preludes were written by Gheorghe Neaga, Vladimir Rotaru, Semion Lungul, Constantin Rusnac, Alexei and Marian Stârcea, Vitaly Sechkin. Some information about these miniatures can be found in research by musicologists E. Kletinich, A. Miroshnikova, E. Gupalova. A detailed analysis from a performer's standpoint presented in the article is made for the first time. The piano pieces indicated above are diverse. The two preludes by A. Stârcea contrast with one another: one has a lyrical character, whereas the other one differs in its drama and flustered character. The piece by Gh. Neaga bears the traces of impressionist music. C. Rusnac’s and V. Rotaru’s creations are composed using Moldovan doina stylistics, and S. Lungul’s lyrical miniature is nationally neutral. In the two preludes by M. Stârcea, modern musical language means are used, and sharp rhythms and dissonant harmonies abound. The article also presents five preludes-pictures by Vitaly Sechkin, a Ukrainian composer who spent his last period of life in Moldova. Inspired by Moldovan vivid landscapes, they differ in their imagery and tempo. Nonetheless, each of the miniatures has its own individual appearance and peculiarities of style. All the works reviewed are distinguished by bright themes and original music language. They represent a substantial enrichment of national piano repertoire and are a striking contribution of autochthonous authors to the development of the prelude genre in the world’s piano music
Exercises as a Means of Optimizing the Process of the Piano Technique Development in Students of Music Higher Education Institutions
No full textУ статті розкривається роль технічних вправ, що використовуються у фортепіанній педагогічній практиці музичних вишів. Автор спирається як на свої власні методичні установи, так і на досягнення свого викладача часів навчання в консерваторії – видатного піаніста та педагога, Заслуженого артиста України Віталія Васильовича Сєчкіна. Стаття розповідає про роботу над фортепіанною технікою в класі спеціального фортепіано. З цією метою аналізується методика вибору вправ та віртуозних етюдів, процес їх засвоєння та вдосконалення, прогнозування можливих результатів. Автор дає характеристику фортепіанним вправам різних авторів, які мали схожу мету, – розвиток швидкості пальців, вільне володіння виконавцем різними видами фактури, засвоєння тональностей. Пропонуються методичні рекомендації щодо оволодіння різними вправами, намічаються можливі шляхи подальшого розвитку технічного апарату студентів-піаністів.The present article expands on the role of piano exercises which have a great importance in the development of piano technique of students of music higher education institutions and are used extensively in the educational process. The study is based on the author’s personal experience and the achievements of the author’s conservatory teacher, Professor Vitaly V. Sechkin. The author also aims to characterize the work on piano technique in the special piano class in higher education institutions. In order to fulfil this objective, an analysis is made of the method of choosing piano exercise collections and virtuoso etudes, of the process of studying and mastering them, and of their expected benefits. Among the compilations of piano exercises reviewed in the article are collections by M. Long, A. Cortot, Ch. Hanon, J. Brahms, I. Ryabov, E. Timakin and others. A characterization of the role of exercises in the development of piano technique and analyses of exercise collections by various authors can be found in the articles, notes and monographic outlines by Ya. Milstein, A. Cortot, H. Neuhaus, N. Medtner etc. The role of exercises in the pedagogical practice of Professor V. Sechkin is described for the first time. The collections of piano exercises mentioned above are extremely various. The fact that many outstanding pianists of the past and present addressed the issue of piano exercises is itself indicative of their necessity in everyday individual work of students as well as in the pedagogical practice as a whole. The exercises by Ch.-L. Hanon are meant to ensure the development of finger fluency and independence. E. Timakin’s exercises are dedicated to the perfecting of long arpeggio playing technique. J. Brahms’ exercises assist in mastering the technique of double note playing and in developing polyphonic playing skills. The exercises by A. Cortot are intended to improve the articulation and the quality of pianistic apparatus in general. Methodological recommendations on mastering various types of exercises, as well as groupings of the exercises into complexes for a more productive learning, offered by V. Sechkin, are described. An illustrative repertoire list of virtuoso pieces preferred by the Professor is included, among which etudes by F. Chopin and F. Liszt are on the first places. The article also contains advice on further development of technical apparatus of piano students. It is concluded that playing piano exercises is an excellent way to streamline the education of young performers, and mastering specialized exercises fosters successful technical development of a pianist, allowing him/her to highlight the artistic content, the images and ideas of the piece performed
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
