One of the leading Brazilian naturalists of the 19th century, Freire Alemão wrote this journal during the Scientific Exploration Commission, an expedition that ran between 1859 and 1861 in the backlands of Ceará, as well as parts of the provinces of Rio Grande do Norte, Piauí and Pernambuco. Freire Alemão accumulated the functions of president of the Scientific Commission and head of the Botanical Section, bringing to the Court a herd of 14,000 plants. Considered the first scientific trip composed exclusively by Brazilian naturalists, the Scientific Commission of Exploration reflected the effort of the Brazilian Empire in the promotion of discoveries that were to leverage the economy of the country, as it happened in the European nations and in the United States. Despite the criticism, scarcity of funds and administrative and personal disagreements that undermined the continuity of its work, I try to approach the experience of the Scientific Commission within the possibilities and limits in the use of science as the intellectual arm of the development of the Brazilian Empire. Because of the cessation of the work of the Botanical Section and the illness of Freire Alemão, the diary remained in its original form, without any type of editing or cut, an operation that would have happened if it had been published. My purpose is to highlight the writing of the diary as the production of a particular memory, through a writing produced from a strategic knowledge aimed not only for the flourishing of science, but also to meet the demands of a policy aimed at using all the potentiality of the natural world. But a writing that at the same time registers an experience permeated by uncertainties, misunderstandings, unusual body reactions to the environment and inversions of the role of observer and observed. As a record of a memory and memory of a record, I take the diary as a privileged object to approach lived experiences, as well as to discern the diverse and complex fabric of mnemonic compositions, bringing together the connections between the subject in his private experiences and his relation with the collective. / Esta tese tem por objeto o diário de viagem que Francisco Freire Alemão, um dos principais naturalistas brasileiros do século XIX, redigiu no transcurso da Comissão Científica de Exploração, expedição que percorreu, entre 1859 e 1861, os sertões do Ceará, além de partes das províncias do Rio Grande do Norte, Piauí e Pernambuco. Freire Alemão acumulava as funções de presidente da Comissão Científica e chefe da Seção Botânica, tendo trazido para o Corte um hervário com 14 mil plantas. Considerada a primeira viagem científica composta exclusivamente por naturalistas brasileiros, a Comissão Científica de Exploração refletia o esforço do Império brasileiro na promoção de descobertas que viessem a alavancar a economia do país, como ocorria nas nações europeias e nos Estados Unidos. A despeito das críticas, escassez de verbas e desavenças administrativas e pessoais que minaram a continuidade dos seus trabalhos, procuro abordar a experiência da Comissão Científica dentro das possibilidades e limites no uso da ciência como braço intelectual do desenvolvimento do Império brasileiro. Por conta da cessação dos trabalhos da Seção Botânica e do adoecimento de Freire Alemão, o diário permaneceu em sua forma original, sem qualquer tipo de edição ou corte, operação que fatalmente ocorreria caso tivesse sido publicado. Meu objetivo é evidenciar a escrita do diário como a produção de uma determinada memória, por meio de uma escrita produzida a partir de um saber estratégico voltado não apenas para o florescimento da ciência, como também para atender a demandas de uma política voltada para utilizar toda a potencialidade do mundo natural. Mas uma escrita que, ao mesmo tempo, registra uma experiência permeada de incertezas, incompreensões, reações inusitadas ao ambiente e inversões do papel de observador e observado. Como registro de uma memória e memória de um registro, abordo o diário como objeto privilegiado para abordar experiências vividas, bem como divisar a tessitura diversa e complexa das composições mnemônicas, congregando as conexões entre o sujeito nas suas vivências privadas e na sua relação com o coletivo.

Franz Liszt, who was the greatest virtuoso pianist in the nineteenth-century, was also a productive composer. But his tremendous technique brought the misunderstanding that his compositions were just flashy and superficial, thus creating an obstacle for appreciating his music. The purpose of this study is to encourage an understanding of the value of Liszt's music, especially his Schubert Lieder transcriptions. The study starts with an introduction, which states the revival of the art of transcription, gives the muscial background of Liszt and describes the instruments that were available to him. Then follows a discussion about his experimentation with the conventional piano techniques and how he applied them to the song transcriptions. Two transcriptions "Hark, Hark, the Lark" and "Der Lindenbaum" are analyzed in detail to show the transcriptive procedure and the relation between the poetry and the musical expression. A conclusion summarizes the study.

Of all the composers of German Lied, Franz Schubert and Hugo Wolf can be considered the true giants of this musical form. Schubert's position is secure as the greatest composer of the Lied. Wolf, though challenging Schubert in this particular idiom only, brought the Lied to its culmination. This study will show, by comparative analysis, the respective treatment by Fr anz Schubert and Hugo Wolf of selected poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Though Schubert composed some seventy songs (not including multiple settings of the same text), and Wolf fifty-one, based on the poetry of Goethe, they shared only thirteen of these poems in common. Four songs by each composer have been selected for detailed analysis.

Because of the lack of information concerning the success or failure of Schubert's bilingual edition and concerning the relationship between the English texts and Schubert's settings, most performers take the conservative route of performing both the songs from Lady of the Lake and the rest of Schubert's English song repertoire only with the German translations. Because of the desirability of performing this repertoire in English for English-speaking audiences, this study examines all of the English songs of Schubert to determine whether the original poems can be successfully substituted for the German translations. Editions of the settings that can be effectively performed with the English texts are included in the appendix, in order to make available editions which reflect Schubert's ambition to make his songs easily accessible to non-German-speaking audiences.

This investigation sought to compare the transcription techniques of two pianist-composers, Godowsky and Liszt, using three Schubert lieder as examples. The lieder were "Das Wandern" from Die Schöne Müllerin, "Gute Nacht" from Winterreise, and "Liebesbotschaft" from Schwanengesang. They were compared using four criteria: tonality, counterpoint, timbral effects, and harmony. Liszt, following a practice common in the nineteenth century, was primarily concerned with bringing new music into the home of the domestic pianist. The piano transcription was the most widely used and successful medium for accomplishing this. Liszt also frequently transcribed pieces of a particular composer in order to promulgate them by featuring them in his recitals. The Schubert lieder fall into this category. Liszt did not drastically alter the original in these compositions. Indeed, in the cases of "Liebesbotschaft" and "Das Wandern," very little alteration beyond the incorporation of the melody into the piano accompaniment, occurs.Godowsky, in contrast, viewed the transcription as a vehicle for composing a new piece. He intended to improve upon the original by adding his own inspiration to it. Godowsky was particularly ingenious in adding counterpoint, often chromatic, to the original. Examples of Godowsky's use of counterpoint can be found in "Das Wandern" and "Gute Nacht." While Liszt strove to remain faithful to Schubert's intentions, Godowsky exercised his ingenuity at will, being only loosely concerned with the texture and atmosphere of the lieder. "Gute Nacht" and "Liebesbotschaft" are two examples that show how far afield Godowsky could stray from the original by the addition of chromatic voicing and counterpoint. Godowsky*s compositions can be viewed as perhaps the final statement on the possibilities of piano writing in the traditional sense. As such these works deserve to be investigated and performed.

The decade of the 1850s saw the Texas press separate into two opposing groups on the issue of filibustering. The basis for this division was the personal beliefs of the editors regarding the role filibustering should have in society. Although a lust for wealth drove most filibusters, the press justified territorial expansion along altruistic lines. By 1858, however, a few newspapers discarded this argument and condemned filibusters as lawless bands of ruffians plundering peaceful neighbors. Throughout the decade, the papers gradually drifted from a consensus in 1850 to discord by the date of William Walker's third attempt on Nicaragua in 1858.

The primary purpose of this thesis will be to examine the orchestration of the trombone section in the Viennese symphonies of the early Romantic period. In order to fully understand the function of the trombone section in these syphonies, a review of the trombones usage in previous centuries is in order.

They tried to analyze specifically the research contributions of Abraham Gesner (1846 – 1854) related to kerosene production, on a period which were proliferated researches related to development of new kind of combustibles. The development of this study was guided mainly on the analyze of the published work by Gesner, A Practical Treatise on Coal, Petroleum and Other Distilled Oils, where this publication became the main reference job for installation of petroleum distillery on second half of XIX century, on Unites States. It is possible to evidence with the publication of his book, Gesner, on the same time he had as a goal to make this job a practical manual for the installation and production of oils from the distillation of coal, bitume and petroleum, it also aimed to provide answers to his opponents on the several judicial disputes related to patents where he was involved / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o surgimento da indústria do petróleo no século XIX, a partir das várias pesquisas que estavam sendo realizadas a fim de se obter novas fontes de combustíveis por destilação de carvão mineral, vegetal e petróleo, inclusive para iluminação. Procurou-se analisar especificamente as contribuições das pesquisas de Abraham Gesner (1846-1854) relacionadas à produção do querosene, num período em que proliferavam as pesquisas relacionadas ao desenvolvimento de novos combustíveis. O desenvolvimento deste estudo pautou-se principalmente na análise da obra publicada por Gesner, A Practical Treatise on Coal, Petroleum and Other Distilled Oils, publicação que se tornou a principal obra de referência para a instalação das destilarias de petróleo na segunda metade do século XIX, nos Estados Unidos. Pode-se evidenciar que, com a publicação de seu livro, Gesner, ao mesmo tempo que tinha por objetivo fazer desta obra um manual prático para a instalação e produção de óleos a partir da destilação de carvões, betume e petróleo, também visava apresentar respostas aos seus adversários nas várias disputas judiciais relativas às patentes nas quais se envolveu
