The lecture recital was given on April 18, 1974. Some Mendelssohn organ works in manuscript were performed during the lecture to illustrate Mendelssohn's indebtedness to baroque models and his evolution as an organ composer.

The lecture, given on August 3, 1981, consisted of a discussion of the circumstances surrounding the composition of K. 413, 414, and 415; of specific compositional characteristics pertaining to each; and of their relationship to Mozart's later piano concertos. Additionally, their orchestration, effect with string quartet, idiomatic piano writing, considerations for amateurs, and passages for connoisseurs were explored.

A solo-quartet by Hoffmeister previously unpublished was discovered by the author in the archives of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. This work contributes to the modern solo repertoire for double bass, and has considerable musical merit. It is a well written work using cleverly overlapped phrases, counterpoint and imitative writing, and effective juxtaposition of contrasting instrumentation. It lies well on the bass and provides an excellent solo vehicle for advanced bassists.

Practical knowledge, as defined by Freema Elbaz (1983), is a complex, practically oriented set of understandings which teachers use to actively shape and direct their work. The goal of this study is the construction of a social science portrait that illuminates the practical knowledge of a large lecture professor of general chemistry at a public research university in the southeast. This study continues Elbaz's (1981) work on practical knowledge with the incorporation of a qualitative and intentionally interventionist methodology which "blurs the boundaries of aesthetics and empiricism in an effort to capture the complexity, dynamics, and subtlety of human experience and organizational life," (Lawrence-Lightfoot and Davis, 1997). This collection of interviews, observations, writings, and reflections is designed for an eclectic audience with the intent of initiating conversation on the topic of the large lecture and is a purposeful attempt to link research and practice. Social science portraiture is uniquely suited to this intersection of researcher and researched, the perfect combination of methodology and analysis for a project that is both product and praxis. The following research questions guide the study. Are aspects of Elbaz's practical knowledge identifiable in the research conversations conducted with a large lecture college professor? Is practical knowledge identifiable during observations of Patricia's large lecture chemistry classroom practice? Freema Elbaz conducted research conversations with Sarah, a high school classroom and writing resource teacher who conducted much of her teaching work one on one with students. Patricia's practice differs significantly from Sarah's with respect to subject matter and to scale. / Ph. D.

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2007-2008. / Les enquêtes réalisées ces dernières années sur la lecture sont unanimes à déceler des signes de régression dans l'intensité de cette pratique culturelle, particulièrement chez les jeunes. Dans un effort pour proposer des solutions à ce problème, l'auteur de la présente recherche s'interroge sur la possibilité d'accorder une meilleure place à l'affectivité dans l'enseignement de la littérature afin d'exploiter ce qui pourrait être l'apport spécifique de cette dernière dans la formation d'une personne. Il soutient notamment que le développement de la sensibilité, en grande partie négligé par l'école, est à la fois la condition de possibilité de la lecture littéraire et sa retombée la plus importante. Cette recherche théorique et spéculative puise dans des références littéraires, psychologiques, biologiques, philosophiques et didactiques pour expliquer l'apport de l'affectivité en lecture littéraire et pour proposer des pistes didactiques donnant à l'affectivité sa juste place en classe de littérature.
