Concerto Grosso for Oboe, Clarinet, Piano, and String Quartet (open access)

Concerto Grosso for Oboe, Clarinet, Piano, and String Quartet

The first movement of the present work is a French overture patterned in form after the overtures of Jean Baptiste Lully. The second movement (Lento) is a simple ABA song-form and presents a rather rhapsodic development of its theme. The third movement consists of a set of six continuous variations on the polyphonic chanson Revecy venu du printans by Claude le Jeune (1528-1600). The last movement is a rondo (ABACADA).

Evolution of the Scherzo Through Beethoven (open access)

Evolution of the Scherzo Through Beethoven

It would be impossible to trace the evolution of the form of the scherzo without treating also to some extent the history of the minuet, as the scherzo would hardly have come into being in the way it did had there not been the minuet, even though as the scherzo grew to maturity it resembled less and less its parent-form. This thesis examines the early use and origin of the scherzo, and its use and evolution in the works of Beethoven.

The History of the Trombone from the Renaissance to the Early Romantic Period (open access)

The History of the Trombone from the Renaissance to the Early Romantic Period

The purpose of this thesis is to show the development of the trombone, in form and music, and its use in the orchestra through the times of Beethoven and Schubert. Since very little material has been presented concerning the history of the trombone, it is hoped that the illustrations and explanations contained herein will be a contribution toward a representation of music from different composers and periods. The music covered gives a picture of the use of the trombone from the Renaissance through to the beginning of the Romantic Period. The results of this study are presented in three main sections: (1) The history of the trombone in the Renaissance; (2) The history of the trombone in the Baroque; (3) The history of the trombone in the Classical Period, and up to the time of Schubert.

Initial Conditions for the Dynamic Pinch

Abstract: "The experimental formation of the dynamic pinch has been an art based upon available electrical condensers, available glass and quartz tubing and an empirically determined gas pressure range. This report attempts to correlate some of this empirical information with the processes of ionization, insulator wall heating, magnetic field penetration, and shock hydrodynamics."
