L'ombra lunga di Zarlino
No full text"The long shadow of Zarlino" · The first part is devoted to high¬lighting the special relevance modes have in Zarlino’s writings, where they are considered as “the forms of the compositions”. Zarlino reconsid¬ers, revises, and reorganizes modes from book to book. A crucial point is in the Dimostrationi Harmoniche (1571), with the proposal of a new modal order that no longer begins with D but rather with C. Zarlino wants to convince his readers that this new order is more rational and coherent than the previous one, since all the species of the perfect intervals (diapa¬son, diapente, diatessaron) now start from the same note, C. Moreover, the sequence of the finales finally coincides with the exhacord. To support the new modal order Zarlino places Willaert among the interlocutors of the Dimostrationi and makes him say that the new order is useful and necessary.
The second part outlines how Zarlino relates to his fellow disciples Vi¬centino and Cipriano (they had all been pupils of Willaert) and Glarean. Vicentino is addressed very polemically in the Institutioni Harmoniche, where he is mentioned not by his own name but as “Chromatist”. His attitude towards Cipriano is a little ambiguous : Zarlino quotes him just twice in the Institutioni and once in the Dimostrationi, that is not much for such an important master. As far as Glarean is concerned, Zarlino was indebted to his Dodekachordon for the twelve-mode system, but he avoids mentioning him until he feels compelled by Galilei’s writings to recall his name in the Sopplimenti.
The last part contains short discussions of each of the contributions collected in this volume

Musica sbagliata
Full text linkOur paper examines the errors made by composers and book-makers in 16th- and 17th-century Italy. Errors made by composers were denounced by other composers, through the diffusion of written censures, or during public challenges in the presence of judges and witnesses. Errors made during the printing process can be found both in the paratext (forgotten or inverted letters and numbers in the title page) and in the text itself (omission of alterations or mistaken notes and words). Our paper ends with a discussion of errors and misunderstandings made by performers and listeners, including both those contemporary to the music, and others committed in modern performances of early music
Della musica e delle parole
No full textThis article explores the relations between music and poetry, starting form Rousseau's theory of the origin of languages. Two main distinctions are considered: when poetry is written before music, and when music is written before poetry. "Non più andrai farfallone amoroso" by Daponte and Mozart is examined as an example of the first strategy; "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney as an example of the second one
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
