Un cabinet d'instruments pour l'instruction publique : faillite du projet, ouverture du débat

January 1996

Authors:

French National Centre for Scientific Research

Par décret, en novembre 1793, la Garde nationale créait à Paris un Institut national de musique et lui adjoignait une bibliothèque et un cabinet d'instruments "antiques, étrangers et à nos usages". Composé grâce aux saisies opérées chez les émigrés et condamnés, ce cabinet ne survécut pas à 1816. Les raisons de cet échec sont étudiées ici et montrent combien les musiciens du Conservatoire de Paris eurent de difficulté à concilier mémoire et pédagogie, héritage et outil de travail. Ce n'est que sous le Second Empire que ressurgira un projet patrimonial viable.

La probabilit� a-t-elle une source objective ou subjective�?: Un dialogue (imaginaire) entre Hans Re...

January 2018 · Cahiers philosophiques

Alexis Bienvenu

Does Probability Theory have an Objective or a Subjective Source? The body of this essay is composed of a fictitious dialogue between Reichenbach and De Finetti. If it is true that these these two philosophers entered into a limited correspondence, there is no evidence a direct conversation ever took place between them. And yet, several historical facts do point to the possibility of an actual ... [Show full abstract] meeting; in 1935, they both attended the International Congress of Scientific Philosophy in Paris, and, in June 1937, they were both living in Paris. Relying on the possibility of this encounter as a pure hypothetical, the following imagined dialogue demonstrates the differences between their philosophical approaches to probability theory. Whereas Reichenbach defended an interpretation of probability strictly based on event-frequency, De Finetti was an advocate of the so-called subjective interpretation. This paper does not take sides in this debate, but rather explores the presuppositions of their respective conceptions.

Independent, synchronous and asynchronous an analysis of approaches to online concept formation

June 2007 · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin

Matt Bower

This paper compares and contrasts three different approaches to pre-class concept formation in an online computing course. In the initial third of the semester students made individual responses to sets of weekly pre-class tutorial style questions. In the following four weeks a virtual classroom was used to facilitate the synchronous construction of group responses to the same type of activities. ... [Show full abstract] In the final third of semester a wiki was used to provide an asynchronous means of composing group responses to the pre-class tutorial questions. The different patterns of student contribution and interaction that resulted from each mode are described. Implications for concept formation specifically and learning generally are discussed.

Musicology and the Australian Bicentenary: A methodological prospectus from an American viewpoint

December 2011 · Musicology Australia

Richard Crawford

The musical world in which we live is shaped by composers, performers and listeners, and the role of scholars in it is a secondary one. We scholars are more observers than participants. Rather than shapers of the tradition, we are preservers and interpreters of it, though from time to time we carry on excavations that contribute to its public aspects. We try to be there when other musicians and ... [Show full abstract] listeners need us. And we are delighted when they accept our help: our editions, our advice on performance, our analyses, recordings, perhaps even our historical or ethnographic explanations. But generally we accept our role as musical outsiders, drawing from our detachment a reputation for objectivity. We work in a world that others have built, and we make tangible impact on it chiefly by meeting others' needs.

National identity versus commerce: an analysis of opportunities and limitations within the Welsh mus...

Paul Carr

This article investigates the sometimes opposing political, commercial and nationalistic pressures on Welsh musicians to sustain a living. Furthermore, it considers how these factors can potentially affect their Welsh identity, a term which was identified by Sarah Hill (2007) as being inherently problematic. After documenting a brief contextualization of the history of Welsh popular music and its ... [Show full abstract] dialogic relationship with the construction and portrayal of identity, the article outlines how opportunities and threats are impacted by this construction. It argues that both the government and the music industry need to negotiate the grey area between economics and cultural authenticity, leaving musicians free to portray their ‘Welshness’ as they see fit. The necessity for a unified industry that facilitates musicians to exploit their intellectual property rights inside and outside of Wales is also emphasized as an important factor regarding the capacity of the Welsh music industry to propagate employment for its workforce.

Exploring Bach's B-minor mass

September 2013

The B-minor Mass has always represented a fascinating challenge to musical scholarship. Composed over the course of Johann Sebastian Bach's life, it is considered by many to be the composer's greatest and most complex work. The fourteen essays assembled in this volume originate from the International Symposium 'Understanding Bach's B-minor mass' at which scholars from eighteen countries gathered ... [Show full abstract] to debate the latest topics in the field. In revised and updated form, they comprise a thorough and systematic study of Bach's Opus Ultimum, including a wide range of discussions relating to the Mass's historical background and contexts, structure and proportion, sources and editions, and the reception of the work in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the light of important new developments in the study of the piece, this collection demonstrates the innovation and rigour for which Bach scholarship has become known.
