The thesis titled Dance as a musical form in the French suites J. S. Bach thematically follows the bachelor thesis entitled Saraband like a dance in baroque harpsichord literature (with a focus on French Suites by J. S. Bach). It deals with the connection between dance and music form. The first chapter is an overview of the socio-cultural aspects in France during the reign of Louis XIV. Other chapters are devoted to individual Baroque dances, allemande, courante, corrente, gavotte, minuet and gigue. In addition to the history of dance is here described its baroque dancing form, charactical traits and overview of dance steps, which are often preffered in its baroque choreography, then part of the chapter focuses on the transformation of dance forms in stylized instrumental piece.

The diploma thesis discusses violin concertos and concertante works with violin solo part by Johann Sebastian Bach. The main focus is on three concertos from the „köthen period“ BWV 1041-1043. Out of the formal analysis there is even the interpretation comparation not missing.

A pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a utilização de guias de execução como estratégia de memorização da Allemande da Partita em Lá menor de J. S. Bach (BWV 1013) para flauta solo. O referencial teórico foi o estudo realizado por Roger Chaffin et. al 2010: Preparing for memorized cello performance: the role of performance cues. A pesquisa foi realizada através de auto-estudo, tendo o próprio autor como sujeito. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de onze sessões de estudo e duas apresentações públicas com registros em áudio e vídeo e diários de estudos. Para verificar a eficácia da memorização, a peça foi escrita de memória após um mês da última apresentação. Como resultado a pesquisa apontou a eficácia da utilização dos guias de execução onde a respiração atuou como um guia estrutural na obra escolhida. A pesquisa destaca a utilização de guias de execução como estratégia para aumentar o controle e eficiência em uma performance de memória. / This research aims to investigate the use of performance cues as a strategy to memorize a solo piece for flute by J. S. Bach (Allemande, BWV 1013). The theoretical framework was the study developed by Roger Chaffin et. al (2010): Preparing for memorized cello performance: the role of performance cues. The qualitative survey was developed through self-study, having the author himself as the subject. The data were collected through eleven study sessions and two public performances recorded on audio and video and registered on study diaries. To verify the efficiency of the memorization, the piece was written a month after the last performance. As a result, the research showed the efficiency the use of performance cues where breathing acted as a structural guide in the chosen piece. This research highlights the use of performance cues as a strategy to enhance control and efficiency in a performance by memory.

Resumo: Este trabalho trata de questões de interpretação de música barroca, mais especificamente de parâmetros interpretativos para a Sonata para Violino solo em Lá menor, BWV 1003 de Johann Sebastian Bach. A sonata faz parte de um conjunto de obras que são referência absoluta no repertório para violino e imprescindíveis na formação violinística. O estudo traz um resumo do debate travado no final do século XX sobre o papel do intérprete e sua relação com o texto musical e com o compositor. É apresentada uma síntese da crítica e autocrítica feita da interpretação historicamente informada e chega-se à conclusão que o movimento de música antiga é legítimo, trazendo diversificação para o cenário interpretativo. Para contextualizar a sonata, traço um histórico da música escrita para violino desde o início do século XVII até a gênese dos Sei Solo por volta de 1720. Uma análise é feita de sete gravações diferentes da sonata, quatro modernas e três com violino barroco, e estas são confrontadas com ou comparadas à literatura sobre interpretação dos últimos 300 anos.

O corte cronológico se dá entre 1688 (ano da criação do cargo para Angola) e 1750, ano que inicia uma década onde os secretários tiveram uma menor atuação. O texto toca no fenômeno do recrudescimento da escrita enquanto mecanismo de governo, discutindo o surgimento de poderosos secretários de Estado na Península Ibérica. Sobre os secretários que atuaram na América, foco da pesquisa, são discutidas suas carreiras, méritos, missões e os trabalhos cotidianos destes homens. Especial análise se dá sobre a relação destes funcionários especializados nos papéis com seus poderosos governadores. / This dissertation addresses the position of secretary of government in the Center-South zone of Portuguese America. It will be focused on the period between 1688 (when the same bureaucratic role was implemented in Angola) and 1750 – when the role played by this historical character begins to fade in importance. The text underlines the decrease of writing form usage as a administrative arrangement. The dissertation also debates the carriers, merits, missions and everyday life of the secretaries that worked in America. Our analysis is specially focused on the relations between these paperwork specialized officials with their powerful governors.

The purpose of this dissertation is to present a comparative analysis of the sarabandes from the six cello suites. Six individual analyses each address the following elements: harmonic reduction, the relationship between the large-scale harmonic and metrical structures, the melodic elaboration of the harmonic-metrical structure, and the type and prevalence of sarabande rhythm. A summary at the end of each analysis provides a cumulative comparison of the results. Knowledge gained from this exercise will provide insight into Bach's conception of the genre by identifying both those features that stylistically unify the sarabandes as well as those that make each unique. In addition, the author will demonstrate the relationship between analysis and interpretation, using the sixth sarabande as an example. This interpretive process will also take into account the idiomatic nature of the guitar.

Most studies of the Mass in B Minor deal with the history of the work, its reception history, primary sources, performance practice issues, rhetoric, and even theological and numerical symbolism. However, little research focuses on an in-depth analysis of the music itself. Of the few analytical studies undertaken, to date only a limited number attempt to explain Bach's use of parody technique or unity in the whole composition. This thesis focuses on understanding three primary concerns in regards to the Mass in B minor: to comprehend how preexistent material was adapted to the context of the Mass, how this material functions in the network of the entire composition, and how unity is achieved by means of large-scale voice leading. The results of this study not only provide new information about this monument of Western music, but also provide insight to the deep sense of large-scale structure in Bach's work.

'The Industrial Revolution' is simultaneously one of the most under-examined and overly-simplified concepts in all of social science. One of the ways it is highly under-examined is in the arena of the ecological, particularly through the lens of critical world-history. This paper attempts to analyze the phenomenon through the lens of the world-ecology synthesis, in three distinct phases: First, the history of the conceptualization of the Industrial Revolution is examined at length, paying special attention to the knowledge foundations that determine these conceptualizations. Secondly, I sift out what I believe is the dominant model throughout most of modern and now postmodern history, which I identify as the techno-economic narrative. I then present the main critical world-historical challenge to that argument (that the Industrial Revolution was a unified, linear, two-century phenomenon) by outlining the critical interpretations of Fernand Braudel, Immanuel Wallerstein, Giovanni Arrighi, among others, leading a view of industrialization that is over the very long term, or what Braudel referred to as the longue durée. This long-view form of critical historical analysis is unabashedly Marxist, so there is some foray into various pieces of the Marxian canon, pieces that are often left untouched or at the least under-utilized in many politico-economic analyses of environmental history and politico-ecological narratives as well. Thirdly, I attempt to bring this new long-form view of industrialization more firmly into the ecological, but filtering the basic presuppositions of the 'techno-economic' narratives and the Marxist 'critical world-historical' narratives through the presuppositions of Jason W. Moore's world-ecology synthesis. What we arrive at through this filtering process is a very different view of the Industrial Revolution than we are used to hearing about. This is Part I of a much larger research process, one that I intend to bring into the present and future by looking at the development process of the BRICS as the next extension of the Industrial Revolution. What this paper is most concerned with is re-igniting what I think is a valuable debate among theorists, economic historians, and Marxist ecological thinkers, the debate about what exactly this phenomenon was, is, and will be. My small contribution is to re-define it in relationship to its really-existing history, including its antecedents and possible future expansions.
