An interdisciplinary study of the timbre of the classical guitar /

Traube, Caroline January 2004 (has links)
This dissertation proposes an interdisciplinary approach for the study of the timbre of the classical guitar. We start by identifying the static; control parameters of timbre, relating to the structural components of the guitar and the dynamic control parameters of timbre, relating to the gestures applied by the performer on the instrument. From the plucked string physical model (obtained from the transverse wave equation), we derive a digital signal interpretation of the plucking effect which is a comb filtering. Then we investigate how subjective characteristics of sound, like timbre, are related to gesture parameters. The starting point for exploration is an inventory of verbal descriptors commonly used by professional musicians to describe the brightness, the colour, the shape and the texture of the sounds they produce on their instruments. An explanation for the voice-like nature of guitar tones is proposed based on the observation that the maxima of the comb-filter-shaped magnitude spectrum of guitar tones are located at frequencies similar to the formant frequencies of a subset of identifiable vowels. These analogies at the spectral level might account for the origin of some timbre descriptors such as open, oval, round, thin, closed, nasal and hollow, that seem to refer to phonetic gestures. In a experiment conducted to confirm these analogies, participants were asked to associate a consonant to the attack and a vowel to the decay of guitar tones. The results of this study support the idea that some perceptual dimensions of the guitar timbre space can be borrowed from phonetics. Finally, we address the problem of the indirect acquisition of instrumental gesture parameters. Pursuing previous research on the estimation of the plucking position from a recording, we propose a new estimation method based on an iterative weighted least-square algorithm, starting from a first approximation derived from a variant of the autocorrelation func

A suggestopaedia-based method of guitar instruction

Isaacson, David J January 1990 (has links)
Bibliography: pages 133-138. / Sight-reading is generally regarded by guitar teachers as a problem area of instruction. The aim of this thesis is to address the problem through a fourfold approach: 1. defining sight-reading in terms of its historical context ; 2. providing a rationale, and proposing an alternative method, for teaching sight-reading on the guitar based on a language teaching model ; 3. developing the proposed method ; 4. evaluating the proposed method experimentally. Music and language share many common characteristics. It is for this reason that Suggestopaedia, a method validated in language teaching, has been adapted for teaching the guitar with sight-reading skills as the central focus. Suggestopaedia has been chosen because it stimulates the whole personality, and all brain systems, of the learner.

A GUIDE TO THE FINGERING OF MUSIC FOR THE GUITAR

Sherrod, Ronald Jerone January 1981 (has links)
An important area of guitar education, whether in a private studio or a public school classroom, is that of guitar "fingering"--the exact, well-planned, and deliberate designation of fingers to a musical passage. Knowledge, understanding, and application of basic fingering principles will aid students in such parameters as technical proficiency, expression, phrasing, memorization, and performance security. This dissertation supplies the teacher with a theoretical basis from which to present this important topic. The basis is built on two sets of principles: (1) the physical properties of the guitar and its tone production (guitar size, distance between the frets, sustaining quality of the strings, and varying timbre of the strings), and (2) the physiological structure of the human hand and arm (length of the fingers, alignment of hands with the strings, strong and weak finger combinations, changing positions, fatigue, and string crossing). This study is divided into seven chapters. The first serves as an overview of the current status of guitar education and provides an introduction to the topic of fingering. Chapter 2 describes the notation used throughout the document and defines such fundamental concepts as basic position for the left and right hand, the names of positions, stretch and squeeze positions, the bar and hinge-bar, and rest and free strokes. Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 present information that constitutes the main conclusions of this study. They deal with the left hand fingering of melodies played on a single string, left hand fingering of melodies played on two or more strings, left hand fingering of homophonic and contrapuntal music, and right hand fingering. Included in these areas of discussion are basic left and right hand positions, minimum movement, pivot and guide fingers, position playing, changing positions, strong and weak finger combinations, and fingerings which complement musical phrasing and expression. Chapter 7 summarized the major concepts presented in the dissertation, gives guidelines to teaching the topic of guitar fingering, and supplies suggestions for future research in this subject area.

Na época de ouro do rádio, nos anos 40, estabiliza a formação de sua base, com dois violões, cavaquinho e pandeiro, e tem seu nome definido na época de ouro do rádio, nos anos 40. Horondino José da Silva, violonista profissional desde os 18 anos, integra os regionais mais renomados desde 1936 e, por influência de grandes músicos como Tute e Pixinguinha, agrega à formação de seus grupos o violão de sete cordas, renovando a linguagem do instrumento e tornando-se a maior referência na área até os dias de hoje. Este trabalho consiste na transcrição e análise de uma amostra de sua obra, com a finalidade extrair e catalogar elementos que sirvam de subsídio ao estudo do violão de sete cordas / Abstract: The "regional", a typical Brazilian ensemble that started its trajectory next to the choro in the Iate 19th century, stabilized its formation, with two guitars, a cavaquinho and a pandeiro, and had its name defined in the golden age of the radio, in the 40's. Horondino José da Silva, a professional guitar player since age 18, integrated the most well-known regionais since 1936 and, under the influence of great musicians such as Tute and Pixinguinha, aggregated to the formation of its groups the seven-string guitar, renewing the instrumenfs language and becoming the greatest reference in the field up to these days. This paper consists of the transcription and analysis of a sample of his work, aiming to extract and catalog elements that can aid in the study of the seven-string guitar / Mestrado / Mestre em Música

Partindo da hipótese de que o intérprete contribui para a construção de sentido em uma realização musical, constatou-se a insuficiência de um instrumental teórico que possibilitasse a averiguação de sua relevância enquanto instância participativa do fazer musical. A perspectiva de uma abordagem enunciativa mostrou-se oportuna para os propósitos deste trabalho, além de contribuir para a construção de uma cientificidade na área musical. A dissertação foi desenvolvida em quatro capítulos. O primeiro trata das principais designações atribuídas à atividade do intérprete e das consequências teóricas de cada assunção. No segundo, é traçado um paralelo entre linguística e música, apresentando a afinidade de problemáticas presentes em ambas as áreas, ao mesmo tempo em que desenha paulatinamente o panorama enunciativo sobre essas questões. No terceiro, foram apresentados os princípios da teoria enunciativa, basicamente: as categorias de pessoa, tempo e espaço; os mecanismos de instauração dessas categorias no enunciado; além dos conceitos de dialogismo, uso linguístico e contrato veridictório. Foram apontadas algumas possibilidades de transposição desses princípios e sua aplicação mostrou-se, assim, exequível na área musical. Por fim, no quarto capítulo, foram analisados, dentro de uma perspectiva enunciativa, dois enunciados musicais em vídeo de diferentes intérpretes —Paul Galbraith e Kazuhito Yamashita—tocando a mesma obra, Nocturnal op. 70 de Benjamin Britten. Concluiu-se que é possível atribuir um estatuto ao intérprete de violão por meio de uma abordagem enunciativa. As marcas da enunciação no enunciado nos permitiram depreender como se deu a construção de sentido, as estratégias discursivas, a imagem que o enunciador construiu de si mesmo, além da intencionalidade marcada, atribuindo assim um lugar central ao intérprete na construção do sentido musical. / This work investigates the status of the guitar performer. Starting from the hypothesis that the performer contributes to the construction of meaning in a musical performance, we have come across the insufficiency of the theoretical tools to ascertain his/her relevance as a participating instance in music making. The perspective of an enunciative approach has proven to be opportune for the purposes of this investigation, also contributing to the establishment of a more specific perspective in the music field. This Master’s thesis is divided into four chapters. The first one deals with the most prominent designations attributed to the performer’s activity and the theoretical consequences of each assumption. On the second one, a parallel is drawn between linguistics and music, presenting the kinship between the issues in both areas, at the same time progressively sketching an overview of the enunciation aspects related to them. On the third chapter, the principles of the enunciation theory were presented, in short: the categories of person, time, and space; the mechanism for the establishment of these categories on text/speech; as well as the concepts of dialogism, linguistic usage, and veridictory contract. Some possibilities of transposition of these principles were presented and thus their application has proven viable in the music domain. Finally, on the fourth chapter, two performances were analyzed from an enunciative perspective: videos of two different interpreters — Paul Galbraith and Kazuhito Yamashita — playing the same piece, Benjamin Britten’s Nocturnal op. 70. Our investigation and its application to concrete texts led us to conclude that a status can be attributed to the guitar performer through an enunciative approach. The enunciation marks inscribed on the text allowed us to capture the process of the construction of meaning, the discursive strategies, the image that the enunciator created for him/herself, as well as the intentionality outlined on the text, thus assigning a central role to the performer in the construction of musical meaning.

The relevance of the teaching methods of Dionisio Aguado, Fernando Sor and Andrés Segovia for guitar technique in the late 20th century

Van Der Walt, Cornelia Susanna Nielu January 1996 (has links)
This research study reports on the effectiveness of older methodologies with regard to teaching purposes for the classical guitar. The following Methods were discussed : F Sor : Methode pour la Guitare; D Aguado : Nuevo Metodo para Guitarra; A Segovia, as written by V Bobri : The Segovia Technique. These Methods were evaluated and compared with current guitar techniques as applied by Pujol, Artzt, Carlevaro, Duarte, Duncan, Shearer, Parkening, Sagreras, and the opinions of Brouwer, Aussel and Barrueco were also taken into consideration. The following technical aspects were analysed : posture; the Tripod; right· and left·hand techniques; fingering and scales; quality of tone and right-hand stroke : apoyando, tirando and ornamentation, as applied by Sor, Aguado and Segovia; and Sor's opinion of transcriptions. The Methods for the vihuela, the four· and five-course guitar, and the efforts of the eighteenth and nineteenth century were briefly discussed, such as : Milan; Narvaez; Pisador; Mudarra / M. Mus.
