No primeiro capítulo, discorre-se sobre levantamento de material, em que se buscaram informações acerca de excertos orquestrais de violino, no que concerne tanto a seu uso em processos seletivos como a aspectos técnicos e estilísticos relativos a sua preparação e execução. Encontrou-se, além de material acadêmico usual – como dissertações, teses e artigos – vasta referência em sites, blogs, videoaulas e outros meios, com conteúdo substancial, divulgados na internet. São apresentados também os critérios que orientaram a escolha dos excertos investigados no capítulo seguinte. No segundo capítulo, investigam-se aspectos técnico-interpretativos significativos de cada excerto escolhido, e são feitas sugestões de possíveis abordagens interpretativas desses excertos. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, procura-se estabelecer paralelo entre aspectos presentes no repertório tradicional do violino e nos excertos orquestrais investigados. A relação encontrada entre o material estudado no capítulo 2 e obras como sonatas e concertos – usualmente estudados por violinistas – é rica e evidencia as possibilidades de exploração dos excertos orquestrais como meio de aprendizagem do instrumento. O presente estudo é voltado para estudantes de violino em nível de graduação e, de modo mais amplo, para violinistas que tenham interesse em se aprofundar no assunto excertos orquestrais, destinando-se, inclusive, a auxiliar instrumentistas na preparação para audições de orquestra. / This work aims to investigate technical and interpretative aspects present in orchestral violin excerpts and to study the potential of its use as a tool for the violinist`s development. In the first chapter, we broached the material survey, in which information was sought about violin orchestral excerpts, with respect both to its use in orchestral auditions as well as in the technical and stylistic aspects regarding their preparation and execution. In addition to usual academic material - such as dissertations, theses and articles - it has been found extensive reference in websites, blogs, video lessons and other means, with substantial content released on the Internet. The paper also presents the criteria that guided the choice of excerpts investigated in the following chapter. In the second chapter technical and interpretative aspects of each significant excerpt chosen are scrutinized and suggestions are made for possible interpretative approaches to these excerpts. Finally, in the third chapter, we try to establish a parallel between aspects present in the traditional violin repertoire and orchestral excerpts investigated. The association between the material studied in Chapter 2 and works such as sonatas and concerts, usually studied by violinists, are rich and it highlights the exploration of possibilities of orchestral excerpts as a mean of learning the instrument. This study is aimed at violin students at the undergraduate level and, more broadly, for violinists who are interested in delving into the subject of orchestral excerpts for violin, including as support for preparation for orchestral auditions.

The purpose of this study is to research the music of Geonyong Lee (이건용), one of the most recognized active Korean composers, while determining Lee's intent to compose with influences from both Western and traditional Korean music. This paper analyses Lee's violin works Rhapsody for Piano and Violin and Heoten Garak, and explains the cultural and historical significance surrounding both works in terms of traditional Korean music. Lee asserts that his primary influence Rhapsody for Piano and Violin was Nongac (농악), a traditional form of Korean farming music. Similarly, Heoten Garak displays a distinct influence of traditional Korean music genres, Heoten Garak and Pansori. By analyzing Geonyong Lee's compositional style and approach to the violin, one learns how his musical philosophies combine Western and traditional Korean music practices into a unique compositional approach. The study concludes by summarizing not only Western and traditional Korean style as evident in his music, but also the conceptual approach by which the composer attempts to bring a unique combination of these influences to his audience.

The purpose of the study was to compare two instructional methodologies designed to improve the intonation accuracy of seventh grade violin and viola instrumentalists. The collection of data was in regard to (1) instructional methodology: aural and aural/visual, (2) performance tasks: A, B, and C; (3) individual pitches (seven from each of the music tasks), and (4) differences between instrument groups: violin and viola. Sixty-eight seventh grade string students from three string classes of two middle schools were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: (a) aural and (b) aural/visual. The instructional period was implemented daily in ten-minute sessions during twenty days by the orchestra instructors of each school. A pretest-posttest format was used to determine if there were any changes in the subjects' intonation accuracy from prior to after the instructional phase was implemented, and if these changes could be attributed to any of the methodologies. The testing material used on both testing sessions included three performance tasks composed of seven notes each. Subjects were recorded on both testing occasions. The data were the scores of absolute pitch deviation, measured in cents from equal temperament, from the pre- and postest; these were treated with analysis of variance. The ANOVA on the posttest scores indicated a non-significant difference between the instructional methodologies in their effectiveness to improve the subjects' ability to play in tune.

Det övergripande syftet med detta examensarbete är att med ljudinspelning dokumentera de 25 etyderna av J. H. Roman från ca 1730. Dessa etyder är mig veterligen inte tidigare inspelade i sin helhet, och därmed är min förhoppning att kunna bidra till en bredare spridning av dessa för många helt okända etyder av ”Den Svenska Musikens Fader”.  För att nå uppsatsens syfte analyseras processen med instudering, tolkning och dokumentation. Resultatet är att 25 etyder av Roman är inspelade och att de kommer tillgängliggöras på youtube. De 25 etyderna är sinsemellan olika och kräver olika saker av musikern. Etyderna rymmer stor potential för breddat och fördjupat lärande av olika violinspecifika tekniker. Etyderna är också och framför allt musikaliskt tilltalande och vackra. Uppsatsen pekar på att J. H. Roman förtjänar en självklar plats i violinrepertoaren. / The overall aim of this bachelor thesis is to document the 25 etudes by J. H. Roman from around 1730 with audio recording. To my knowledge, these etudes have not previously been recorded in their entirety, and thus my hope is to be able to contribute to a wider acknowledgement of these to many completely unknown etudes by ”The Father of Swedish Music”. In order to achieve the aim of the essay, the process of studying, interpretation and documentation is analyzed. The result is that 25 etudes by Roman are recorded and that they will be made available on YouTube. The 25 etudes differ from each other and require different things from the musician. The etudes hold great potential for broadened and deepened learning of various violin-specific techniques. The etudes are also and above all musically appealing and beautiful. The essay points out that J. H. Roman deserves an obvious place in the violin repertoire. / <p>Innehåller länkar till youtube med inspelningar av Romans 25 etyder.</p>

Thesis (MMus (Music))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009 / Violin vibrato is the action by which a violinist periodically changes the frequency of a sustained note by moving the finger on the string, rapidly backwards and forwards. If it is artistically applied, it adds life, character and warmth to an otherwise dull sounding note. Although it has been used since the sixteenth century, very little research has been done on the reason why humankind would experience such periodic fluctuations as an object of beauty in violin performance. In answering the question, this study explores a variety of angles of approach in order to understand the phenomenon in its full context. The history, development and geographical origin of the technique are firstly discussed in a diachronic fashion and provide the background for the subsequent synchronic research on the physical nature of violin sound and violin vibrato. The vibrato rates and widths of four virtuosi are measured and compared to highlight the differences and individuality which are argued to be a contributing factor to the perception of beauty of the technique. It is established in the final chapter that the brain is stimulated more by sounds with periodic changes than those that are presented in the steady-state which cast some light on why vibrato may be experienced as an appreciated addition to sound. The thesis aims to present a unique view on the possibilities of interdisciplinary research of the phenomenon of violin vibrato. It further aims to present the research findings in a concise, logical, and systematic manner that could be of interest to both musician and scientist.

Syftet med denna studie är att utforska och beskriva erfarandet av vad som sker i min livsvärld när jag arbetar med gehörsbaserad instudering av ett klassiskt stycke. För att uppnå syftet är följande forskningsfråga ställd: Hur erfars gehörsmässig inlärningsprocess av ett klassiskt violinstycke? Självstudien utgår från ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv. Utgångspunkt var ett klassiskt violinstycke som övades in under en period av 9 veckor. Stycket övades 3 gånger varje vecka och samtliga övningspass dokumenterades med loggbok. Ett övningspass i veckan filmades för att också observeras. Resultatet bygger på de återkommande mönster som framkom under analysen och beskrivs i tre faser: Första fasen - Övningsstrategier, Andra fasen – Svårigheter och avslutningsvis Tredje fasen – Lösningar. I diskussionen berörs teman som erfarandet av att lära in ett klassiskt stycke på gehör, inlärningsstrategier och förändrad livsvärld. / The purpose of this self-study is to explore and describe the experiences of studying a classical peace by ear. The perspective is the phenomenological life-world perspective. Starting point was a classical piece for violin which I practiced for a period of 9 weeks. The piece was practiced 3 times each week and all sessions were documented in a logbook. Once a week the pratice occasions was also filmed for video observation. The result is based on the patterns which appeard during the analysis and are presented in three phases: First phase-Practice strategies, Second phase-Difficulties and Third phase-Solutions. A discussion about experiences of learning a classic piece by ear, learning strategies and changes in the life-world are made in the last chapter.

Jag har valt att skriva om Brahms f-moll-sonat eftersom det är den sortens musik som berör mig mest inombords. Jag fastnade för musik för soloviola redan som liten. Detta verk är ett av de främsta och mest spelade verken för viola vilket gör att det blir en viktig del i violarepertoaren. Brahms levde mellan 1833 och 1897, förhållandena var annorlunda då jämfört med nu vilket medför att stycket lät annorlunda då mot vad det gör nu på moderna instrument och strängar. Jag har försökt efterforska hur nära man kan komma originaluppförandet och dåtidens klangideal och teknik. Detta verk skrevs först för klarinett men strax därefter gjorde Brahms en alternativ violaversion och jag har tittat på några skillnader mellan versionerna. Jag har också jämfört olika moderna utgåvor och provat att spela på sensträngar för att få en känsla av hur det egentligen kan ha känts och låtit med mer tidstroget material än moderna strängar.

The problem of the study was manifested in the question: Does the use of the Suzuki violin method of instruction with young children affect achievement in selected academic areas? Also, do children, where parents evidence interest in their school activities, make greater achievement than children where parents do not indicate such an interest?

Title: Electroencephalographic correlates of prolonged locomotor performance of professional musicians Summary: The aim of this work is to verify the presence of alpha activity in the electroencephalographic recording during prolonged (20 minute) violin play and compare its morphological and topical parameters with the native EEG record before and after the performance. Research sample consisted of five professional violinist in the age range of 25- 60 years. The results showed the occurrence of alpha activity for four of five probands, in one case with a very low incidence. There has been also demonstrated changes in the distribution of alpha activity from parietooccipital areas before the preformance to central areas during the play and immediately after finishing. All probands showed increased amplitude of the alpha activity immediately after finishing. The obtained results confirm the changes of morphology and the changes of topic alpha activity during cognitive activities and at the onset of central fatigue during physical aktivity described in literature. These changes were demonstrated by increasing the amplitude of alpha activity and the shift from parietooccipital areas to central areas.
