Studies on Authorship in Historical Keyboard Music

Authorship is a pertinent issue for historical musicology and musicians more widely and some controversies concerned with major figures have even reached wider consciousness. Scholars have clarified some of the issues at stake in recent decades such as the places of borrowing and arranging in the creative process and the wider cultural significance of these practices. The discovery of new sources and methodologies has also opened up opportunities for reassessing specific authorship problems. Drawing upon this wider musicological literature as well as insights from other disciplines such as intellectual history and book history this book aims to build on what has already been achieved by focussing on keyboard music. The nine chapters cover case studies of authorship problems the socioeconomic conditions of music publishing the contributions of composers arrangers copyists and music publishers in creating notated keyboard compositions the functions of attribution and ascription and how the contexts in which notated pieces were used affected concepts of authorship at different times and places. | Studies on Authorship in Historical Keyboard Music

Studio Studies Operations Topologies & Displacements

Consider the vast array of things around you from the building you are in the lights illuminating the interior the computational devices mediating your life the music in the background even the crockery furniture and glassware you are in the presence of. Common to all these objects is that their concrete visual and technological forms were invariably conceived modelled finished and tested in sites characterised as studios. Remarkably the studio remains a peculiar lacuna in our understanding of how cultural artefacts are brought into being and how ‘creativity’ operates as a located practice. Studio Studies is an agenda setting volume that presents a set of empirical case studies that explore and examine the studio as a key setting for aesthetic and material production. As such Studio Studies responds to three contemporary concerns in social and cultural thought: first how to account for the situated nature of creative and cultural production; second the challenge of reimagining creativity as a socio-materially distributed practice rather than the cognitive privilege of the individual; and finally to unravel the parallels contrasts and interconnections between studios and other sites of cultural-aesthetic and technoscientific production notably laboratories. By enquiring into the operations topologies and displacements that shape and format studios this volume aims to demarcate a novel and important object of analysis for empirical social and cultural research as well to develop new conceptual repertoires to unpack the multiple ways studio processes shape our everyday lives. | Studio Studies Operations Topologies & Displacements

Designing Landscape Architectural Education Studio Ecologies for Unpredictable Futures

No single project or endeavour is immune to the issues that the climate crisis brings. The climate crisis encompasses a broad register of symptoms – increased global temperatures and sea-level rise droughts and extreme bushfire events salinification and desertification of fertile land and the list goes on. It reveals and amplifies complex causal relationships that are inherently present and traverse scales sectors and communities divulging a range of impacts and inequalities. This publication asks designers and academic practitioners to describe their own work through an ecological lens and then to articulate design approaches for developing new practices in landscape architecture teaching. Designing Landscape Architectural Education: Studio Ecologies for Unpredictable Futures the Landscape Architecture Design Studio Companion serves as a resource for academic practitioners in the preparation and delivery of design-research studios and students seeking guidance for design methodologies as a part of their landscape architectural education. It draws on the manifold issues of the climate crisis as a set of drivers to examine the utilisation of a range of innovative design approaches to address the current and future priorities of the discipline. The landscape architecture discipline is evolving rapidly to respond to both a broadening and intensification of changes in the environmental social and political conditions. These changing conditions require innovation that extend the core competencies of landscape architects. This book addresses two fundamental questions – what are the design competencies required of landscape architects to equip them to deal with the complexities brought forth by contemporary society and as a result how could we design the future design studio? | Designing Landscape Architectural Education Studio Ecologies for Unpredictable Futures

Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Sharing Best Practices across industries and functions is an accepted approach to continuous improvement. The Benchmarking trend of the 1990s has evolved with the help of competitive analysis performance excellence awards and other corporate recognition programs into an ongoing documentation of what works. Bob Camp introduced benchmarking against a Best Practice based on his work at Xerox in the 1980s. Case studies abound documenting Best Practice functions and processes. Some case studies use the words “Best Practice” without evidence that the process results or methods are indeed superior. What is missing is a comprehensive model for assessing and writing a Best Practice that provides sufficient information to use as an effective benchmark. This book provides that comprehensive model. Today’s consumers expect products and services to be of high quality reliable and user-friendly. This is the result of years of continuous improvement and innovation by producers. Although many organizations strive for excellent results there is still room for improvement. Unfortunately leaders don’t always have methods and tools to measure or assess that degree of excellence. If leaders could use a tool to discover how good their approaches and methods are and how excellent their achieved results are they could plan further improvements. The goal is to achieve excellent results. The tool described in this book guides leaders to achieve that excellence. | Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking
