This dissertation discusses the role of the piccolo in Beethoven’s orchestration in his symphonic works. These include the Fifth Symphony, the Sixth Symphony, the Egmont Overture and the Ninth Symphony. The document includes the history of piccolo’s development since the ninth century B.C. until the modern Boehm piccolo. The author provides comparative observation through Beethoven’s orchestration techniques such as the range covered, instrumental pairing, balance, and melodic organization of each symphony works. In addition to discussing development of the piccolo in orchestration, this study compares the piccolo’s usage through motives (e.g. the “Ode to Joy” theme), harmonic analysis; range; balance; and melodic organization. Appendix A provides of tables that summarize piccolo’s harmonic function of works discussed to help the reader comprehend the piccolo function at a glance. This dissertation includes observations of performers, theorists and musicians; and these guides provide the reader with better understanding of the piccolo’s place in Beethoven’s orchestration. By following the observations, piccolo players will bring a deeper musical and technical understanding to individual performances.

Therefore, its presence in the orchestral scene became notable mostly on 20th c. composers, such as Shostakovich. With the recent use of the instrument as a soloist within and without the orchestra, raises the necessity of a specific formation for piccolo, regardless of the flute. Lately, orchestras search for professional piccolo players, not flute players that can eventually play the piccolo when they are required. There is an extensive market out there for a good piccolo player, but it requires a deep knowledge about the instrument. On this paper, I display an investigation of the parameters of the embouchure, sonority, articulation and intonation, grounded in the methods for flute Méthode Complète de Flûte (1958) by Paul Taffanel and Phillipe Gaubert, De La Sonorite: Art et Technique (1934), by Marcel Moyse, and for piccolo The Mazzanti Method (2011), by Nicola Mazzanti and Practice Book for the Piccolo (1988), by Patricia Morris e Trevor Wye. After the research, made by this author, about the difference presented in the methods between the piccolo and flute parameters, were defined the differences in the application of these elements in the piccolo. The partial result was a study of excerpts of selected works for piccolo, considering the particularities found about the execution of the instrument. This research has as goal to help the flutist having a specific piccolo study, respecting its execution particularities and making possible a development that is both effective and independent of the flute. / O flautim é um instrumento de uso recente nos palcos de recitais e música de câmara de todo o mundo. Já a sua presença no quadro orquestral passou a ganhar destaque principalmente com compositores do século XX, como Shostakovich. Com a recente utilização do instrumento como solista dentro e fora da orquestra, surge a necessidade de uma formação específica do flautim independente da flauta. Atualmente, orquestras procuram flautinistas profissionais e não mais flautistas que tocam flautim quando necessário. O mercado de trabalho para um bom flautinista é muito extenso, mas isso exige que ele tenha um profundo conhecimento sobre o instrumento. Neste trabalho, apresento uma investigação a partir dos parâmetros embocadura, sonoridade, articulação e afinação, amparada pelos métodos de flauta Méthode Complète de Flûte (1958), de Paul Taffanel e Phillipe Gaubert, De La Sonorite: Art et Technique (1934), de Marcel Moyse, e de flautim The Mazzanti Method (2011), de Nicola Mazzanti e Practice Book for the Piccolo (1988), de Patricia Morris e Trevor Wye. Após análise das diferenças descritas nos métodos entre os parâmetros do flautim e da flauta, definiram-se as diferenças da aplicação desses elementos no flautim. O resultado parcial foi um estudo de trechos de obras selecionadas para flautim, levando-se em conta as particularidades encontradas sobre a execução do instrumento. Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo ajudar o flautista a um estudo específico do flautim respeitando suas particularidades de execução e possibilitando um desenvolvimento eficaz e independente da flauta.

Arvo Pärt's Concerto Piccolo über B-A-C-H for trumpet, strings, harpsichord, and piano is a brief yet challenging work in the trumpet repertoire. A carefully articulated performance guide is necessary to aid trumpeters in overcoming the numerous musical challenges presented in this piece. Currently, there is no resource that helps in solving performance choices and difficulties in this work. This first section of this document provides historical and contextual information on Arvo Pärt, his compositional output during his experimental period, and subsequently, Concerto Piccolo. The second section includes a performance analysis of the work, while the third gives trumpet players pedagogical suggestions and practical exercises for proper preparation of Concerto Piccolo. This guide presents performers with relevant background, analytical, and pedagogical information required for an informed and high-level performance.

This thesis aims to develop proposals and models for a modular electronics construction to a future D250S Dual battery charger. The aim also includes investigation of possibilities to use some of Texas Instruments C2000 microprocessors. The reason for this is that CTEK SWEDEN AB wants to renew the present D250S Dual battery charger and lower the manufacturing costs. The thesis work has involved gathering theoretical facts for the development of a design on the modular electronic construction, the choice on which microprocessor to use, the choice of electronic components and facts about peripheral equipment to the D250S Dual. With the theoretical there has been developed different solutions to the proposed hardware and software solutions with comparisons in aspects of positive and negative. The thesis work is only a feasibility study to a future D250S Dual. The development of a future D250S Dual needs more work to make it possible to do a proof of concept.
