L’analisi del repertorio mandolinistico del Settecento: i manoscritti per mandolino della collezione Gimo
No full textIn questa relazione presenterò un corpus di manoscritti per mandolino conservato nella Collezione Gimo della biblioteca universitaria di Uppsala: sonate, duetti, trii e concerti, scritti nella seconda metà del Settecento da compositori prevalentemente campani, per quel mandolino di tipo napoletano che proprio in quegli anni nasceva e si diffondeva in tutta Europa [Tayler & Sparks, 1989; Addessi, Berglund, Maione, Squillante, 2021]. Il corpus nasce e trova la sua linfa vitale nel contesto storico-stilistico della Scuola Napoletana e in quel territorio di formazione, mercato e trasmissione del sapere musicale che fa riferimento alle tradizioni tramandate nell’educazione musicale all’interno della famiglia, nelle “botteghe” musicali, nei collegi nobiliari e nei palazzi dell’aristocrazia e della nascente borghesia colta e illuminata, nonché nel repertorio della tradizione orale. La domanda che bisogna porsi, infatti, è in che modo i manoscritti per mandolino e i compositori della collezione Gimo si inseriscano nel ricco panorama di trattati teorici e tecniche organologiche, tradizioni colte e popolari, prassi esecutive e scuole didattiche e compositive, e se e come lo studio di questo repertorio potrà dare un contributo alla definizione del quadro storico-stilistico della musica strumentale napoletana del Settecento. Una prima analisi dei manoscritti permette di individuare le caratteristiche dello “stile galante” e del cosiddetto “stile moderno” allora in voga a Napoli. La teoria dei topic [Agawu, 1991] si presenta come uno strumento funzionale per l’analisi musicale di queste composizioni. Verranno presentati alcuni esempi di topic individuati nel corpus di opere esaminato e un’analisi del Largo pizzicato della Sonata da Camera di Mandolino e Basso di Giovanni Battista Gervasio (ms Gimo 144) secondo i seguenti ambiti: macroforma, topic, funzioni retoriche, basso, armonia, profilo e direzionalità dei motivi ritmico-melodici.

Children Music-Making with Interactive Reflexive Technology - A Case Study of Spiral Model of Specification
No full textThe MIROR project is an European Union funded project under the 7th Framework programme (FP7/2007-2013, Technology-enhanced learning, grant agreement n° 258338). The project deals with the development of an adaptive system for music learning and teaching based on the reflexive interaction paradigm: the MIROR Platform. The platform is developed in the context of early childhood education and addresses improvisation, composition, and body performance both informal contexts (kindergartens, primary schools, music schools) as well as in informal ones (at home, kinder centres etc.). The objective of this paper is to introduce the theoretical framework and the aims of MIROR project, present the design and development methodology the project adopted and how it was applied toone of the prototypes the project is implementing: MIROR Body-Gesture. This is discussed as a concrete case study of interactive reflexive musical system
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
A criatividade musical com uso da bateria nos contextos interativos-reflexivos humano/máquina e humano/humano
No full textNeste capítulo apresentamos atividades que exploram a criatividade musical de estudantes de bateria por meio da interação reflexiva. Dois contextos interativos-reflexivos são explorados. O primeiro contexto trata da exploração da interação humano/máquina por meio de atividades de improvisação com o software MIROR-Impro (Sistema Musical Interativo Reflexivo – SMIR). E o segundo contexto tem como foco a exploração da interação humano/ humano com a presença do professor exercendo a função interativa-reflexiva
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
Silence, music, listening: meanings and educational implications starting from the scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori
No full textIl contributo presenta una riflessione sul ruolo educativo del silenzio, sia come cifra essenziale della musica (il suono nasce dal silenzio e in esso finisce), sia come condizione essenziale per l’ascolto, la concentrazione e il “lavoro serio, impegnato” svolto dai bambini, nella scuola dell’infanzia montessoriana. La categoria dell'ordine definisce una relazione costitutiva tra il bambino, l’ambiente e gli elementi che lo compongono, come Maria Montessori spiega ne Il segreto dell’infanzia. L’obiettivo della presente analisi - basata su numerose osservazioni effettuate in scuole montessoriane - consiste nel dimostrare il ruolo fondamentale svolto dalla musica, dal silenzio e dallo spazio-ambiente montessoriano (attraverso la cifra dell’ordine) nel favorire da un lato lo sviluppo della libertà e della creatività individuale, dall’altro lato lo sviluppo dell’ascolto e del rispetto per l’altro
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
