Andrej Tarkovskij ist es gelungen, sich mit einem relativ kleinen Oeuvre in die Filmgeschichte einzuschreiben, obwohl fast alle seine Filme als schwer verständlich gelten. Legenden ranken sich um sie. Die Protokollierung des Films Stalker soll der intensiveren wissenschaftlichen Erforschung eine verlässliche Grundlage bieten. Das Nachwort untersucht das Verhältnis des Films zu der literarischen Vorlage und stellt ihn in russische Traditionen. Dabei werden einige nicht nur in Deutschland populäre Legenden berichtigt.

abstract: The purpose of this project is to examine the three Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Taiwanese composer Dr. Wen-Pin Hope Lee. The inspiration for these three sonatas comes from different aspects of the culture of Taiwan, and these influences occur so naturally within the music that one can neglect the beauty of them. In daily life, people tend to ignore those simple things that occur around them, but if they just pay close attention, there are always beautiful elements that can bring small miracles to their life. Lee's sonatas are the result of his careful consideration of the beautiful elements of his own culture. Through careful examination, the author has discovered that important musical ideas can be found in the artistic expression of one's native culture. Lee adapted the musical resources of Taiwan, including Taiwanese opera and the musical culture of the aboriginal people of Taiwan. In addition, he began infusing his compositions with Western musical elements due to his studies in the United States. The result is a series of three sonatas composed in a diverse array of styles. The three Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Lee are part of the genre of duo chamber music, a collaborative art demanding strong connections between the two performers. The process of ii rehearsing complicated pieces such as these poses a challenge that a solo performer does not encounter. While it is always beneficial to explore the background of the music before performing it, a deeper understanding of the music is achieved during the rehearsal process. The author has been invited by Lee to perform these three sonatas in 2011 with three distinguished violinists and, in preparation for these performances, has already recorded the three sonatas. Such an opportunity has created an examination of the collaborative process within the music and the challenges faced by both performers. In addition to an examination of the musical influences on the composition of these works and a biography of the composer, the author will also provide a performance guide to the works in the hopes of encouraging future performances. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Music 2010

<p> This paper will serve as a practical performance guide for students and young pianists who wish to explore this sonata, and will provide knowledge that will help them shape their own interpretation. Interpretations vary from pianist to pianist and this paper will not propose a unique interpretation of Barber&rsquo;s Sonata Op. 26. Instead, I will analyze the piece step by step, so as to point out the harmonic and melodic material which should be followed in order to understand the structure of the music. With specific technical advice and aesthetic suggestions both from recordings and my own experience I will try to elucidate the very thick texture and give another perspective of the piece. </p><p> A brief sketch of the composer&rsquo;s biography will serve to establish an understanding of the historical background of the piece. Also, a stylistic analysis of the piece will be made through a study of the score. The original recording is the one by Vladimir Horowitz, whose relationship with Barber could absolutely be the subject of a whole new research project. </p>

If success is judged by parents and students voting with their feet, charter schools are in demand as these people are practically running to guarantee their children's admission into charter schools across the nation. Although it is premature to rest on this slim evidence without other indicators of success such as student performance; parents and students are choosing charter schools for a variety of personal and situational reasons that ale highlighted in this case study. The charter school in this case study is located in a southern metropolitan area. The charter school demographics consist of mainly middle class African American families who have decided to select the charter school as their child's primary education agency. This year long case study reflects the perceptions of parents. students, teachers. and community members with respect to hen satisfied they are ninth the charter school. The case study sought out to examine this level of satisfaction based on the schools goals. The research question that guided the study was: Do charter school goals provide a framework to identify and measure stakeholder satisfaction? Four specific research questions were used to develop the response to this guided research question. as well as a theme as a result of participants' responses. The case study design relied on three research strategies to determine conclusions and findings. These three strategies included interviews. observations and analyzing documents A qualitative design was used to describe the voices, perceptions, and experiences of the participants The recurring themes that were found in this study included student-teacher engagement, teacher creativity development. participation of civic and values, teaching awareness of recycling, conservation, and protection of environment; and the development of local political decision making. The conclusions. findings, and implications derived from an analysis of the data, which strongly relied on themes found.

<p> This project was intended to provide empirical data to determine if materials (e.g. Cocobolo, Mopane, Grenadilla, Delrin, and Purpleheart) used to make clarinet barrels have an effect on sound quality and response. The following questions were addressed in this study: For clarinet barrels, do different types of exotic hardwoods and plastics have a measurable effect on the sound qualities (timbre) of the clarinet? Do different materials used to manufacture clarinet barrels have a measurable effect on the response (immediacy of tone and vibration to the player) of the instrument? Do different materials have a measurable impact on the intensity (volume/projection) of the clarinet? Will participants have a preference for specific materials tested? Results indicated that 25% of participants chose Mopane, 25% of participants chose Grenadilla, 25% of participants chose Delrin, and 25% of participants chose Purpleheart, meaning no material was preferred by a majority of the participants. No participant chose Cocobolo. Though there were commonalities among recordings of each material, the findings were not substantial enough to determine true differences in timbre, response to articulation, or intensity.</p>

D.M.A. Recital Document. SONG SETS BY BEETHOVEN, BERG, AND LUTOSLAWSKI: TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR TROMBONE AND PIANO WITHIN A LECTURE RECITAL. The purpose of this project was to transcribe and adapt idiomatic songs for the trombone and present the songs in a lecture recital that demonstrated the efficacy of the vocal works as literature for the trombone. The song sets chosen for this project represent three different periods of music composition, from Romantic to mid-twentieth century. The Romantic song set of <i>Drei Ges&auml;nge von Goethe</i> by Ludwig von Beethoven was chosen to best display the melodic and vocal quality of the trombone. <i>Sieben fr&uuml;he Lieder </i> by Alban Berg was chosen to demonstrate the chromatic capability of the trombone as a melodic instrument. The tonal and dynamic ranges of the trombone, as well as its rhythmic and articulation abilities were exercised in <i>F&uuml;nf Lieder</i> by Witold Lutoslawski.</p>
