Edward Macdowell's Letters to Templeton Strong in the Library of Congress
The letters Edward MacDowell addressed to Templeton Strong between 1886 and 1904 comprise one of the most interesting series of documents in late nineteenth-century American musical history. Strong donated their correspondence to the Library of Congress in 1930, but the letters were unavailable for examination for the next fifty years and are still incompletely referenced in the secondary literature. The letters discuss the return of MacDowell an…
China and the West
'China and the West: Music, Representation, and Reception' is the first book to explore how Chinese and Western musical materials and traditions—those involving instruments, melodies, rhythms, staged diversions (including operas and musical comedies), concert works, film scores, and digital recordings of several kinds—have gradually moved closer together and become increasingly accepted, as well as exploited, in Asia as well as Europe and North A…

The 12 Girls Band
The 12 Girls Band:Traditions, Gender, Globalization, and (Inter)national Identity1 Hon-Lun Yang (bio) and Michael Saffle (bio) Chinese music has gone through dramatic changes in the past century in connection with modernization. Not only has the West influenced the nation's overall art-music soundscape, but traditional Chinese music has also undergone significant transformations. Yet, although westernization and professionalization proved themsel…
Liszt in the Movies
Unlike other biopics about composer Franz Liszt, which are concerned with chronicling his life story, Liszt's Rhapsody (1996) transforms an obscure incident in his life into a parable of political correctness, targeted for younger viewers. The film will be placed within the context of other Liszt biopics, including Charles Vidor's Song without End (1960), James Lapine's Impromptu (1989), and Ken Russell's controversial Lisztomania (1975). Togethe…
Liszt in Germany 1840-1845. A Study in Sources, Documents, and the History of Reception
L-Systems, Melodies and Musical Structure
Among musical symmetries and self-similarities are those that can be produced using Lindenmayer-system (L-system) curves to generate melodies and rhythmic patterns. In 1986, Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz introduced a simple method of producing relatively complex musical scores that incorporate a legible internal structure. Using a scheme called edge-rewriting, one of the authors, Stephanie Mason, has extended Prusinkiewicz’s methods to generate melodi…
