The viola, its foundation, role, and literature including an analysis of the twelve caprices by Lillian Fuchs
No full textDiscussion 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
No full textImanta 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.

Histoires pragmatiques
No full textRoberto Gronda & Tullio Viola – Your work is frequently referred to as “pragmatic history.” This notion, however, is by no means a new one: Polybius spoke of pragmatikê historia, Germany had pragmatische Geschichte in the tradition of Kantian anthropology. Can you tell us something about how you understand this label, and about your own encounter with “pragmatic history”? Simona Cerutti – Personally, I had quite an idiosyncratic introduction to pragmatic history, although this encounter was n..
The significance of selected compositions by Ralph Vaughan Williams which feature the viola
No full textThe main body of this document includes discussion of the background, analysis, and significance of eight compositions by Ralph Vaughan Williams which feature the viola. These works were selected from those which give the viola unusual prominence. Solo works include Flos Campi, Suite for viola and small orchestra, and Romance for viola and piano. Two transcriptions for viola and piano, Six Studies in English Folk Song and Fantasia on Greensleeves, are also discussed. The remaining works are Four Hymns for tenor, string orchestra or piano, and viola obbligato, the String Quartet in A Minor in which the viola leads, and the Phantasy Ouintet which uses two violas and evolves from a viola melody.Chapters two through eight discuss each work. Chapters two through four cover Flos Campi, the Suite, and the quartet. Chapter two includes additional sections about problems resulting from the extra-musical associations in Flos Campi and various theories as to how they are reflected in the music. The next three chapters discuss Romance, Four Hymns, and the quintet. Chapter eight discusses the transcriptions.Musical analyses were completed for each composition by the author. Theirdepth was determined by the overall importance of each work. The most detailed analyses are for Flos Campi, the Suite,and the quartet; the briefest are for the transcriptions.A section discussing pedagogical significance follows the discussion of each composition. This includes information regarding the difficulty of each work and its value as teaching material.The introductory chapter addresses Vaughan Williams' love for the viola, his partiality to it in compositions, and the problem of limited research in light of the seeming significance of this music.The conclusion reviews the significance of each composition. Flos Campi was found to be the most significant historically and musically; the Suite has the most pedagogical value. A need to study a variety of these works was discovered due to their diversity of style and value. The conclusion is followed by an appendix of the author's performance suggestions for selected passages from each composition.Thesis (D.A.)School of Musi
TAP Block Prior to Open Ventral Hernia Repair Improves Surgical Outcome
No full textBACKGROUND: Ventral hernias commonly affect patients after major abdominal surgery. To reduce postoperative pain, the effects of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, epidural analgesia and medication-only protocol have been investigated. The primary outcome was the cumulative dosage of opioids (morphine milligram equivalents MME), of acetaminophen and diclofenac for postoperative pain control on postoperative day (POD) 0, 1, and 2. Secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS) and the pain scale rating using the numeric rating scale (NRS) on POD 0, 1, and 2. METHODS: The data were retrospectively extracted from the charts of the patients admitted for a surgical operation for OVHR from January 2015 to December 2019. RESULTS: Patients receiving medication-only analgesia had longer LOS (mean 6.1 days; p < 0.00001). Cumulative opioid consumption was significantly lower at 24 and 48 h after surgery in the TAP block group than in the other groups (mean MME 1.9 mg and 0.7 mg, respectively; p < 0.05). The cumulative consumption of diclofenac was significantly lower in the TAP block group than in the others (44.1 mg; p ≤ 0.00001 on POD 1; 4.4 mg; p = 0.03 on POD 2). TAP block is more effective in pain control in POD 0 (mean NRS 5.4; p < 0.00001), POD 1 (mean NRS 6.1; p = 0.006), and POD 2 (mean NRS 4.9; p = 0.001) if it is performed after adopting the retromuscular technique. CONCLUSIONS: The comparison between the medication-only technique, epidural, and TAP block demonstrated the superiority of the last one for the aims considered in this study
