After several years of experimenting with just intonation, Partch attached a lengthened neck, marked with just tuning intervals, to his viola . For the next three years he composed exclusively for voice and Adapted Viola using just intonation. In addition to composing, Partch documented his theoretical ideas. The viola was a first step in the invention, design, construction of and composition for a large orchestra of instruments over the next four decades. These instruments are not only the result of the creative process of the composer, but were an essential formative element in that process This study focuses on the string and keyboard instruments, which Partch characterizes as the voice and soul of his music. These instruments are readily tuned, and they do not involve as much acoustical and physical complication as tuning the percussion does. Because of their flexible tuning the string and keyboard instruments played a dynamic role in Partch's development of principals of tuning. His close attention to the effects of the tuning on the sound and the playing in turn caused ongoing development of instrument design and playing technique My discussion of each instrument addresses the concept and background, tunings and related issues of acoustics and performance. The instruments are considered independently, in the context of the instrument families they are in, and in various musical contexts It can be seen that Partch's instrument concepts and designs evolved from various requirements, and that, in turn, they were an essential part of the development of new musical ideas. Also apparent are relationships of instrument designs to each other, and interaction of concepts and functions between instruments."--Pages viii-ix Fotokopie Ann Arbor, Michigan UMI dissertation services 2018 Partch, Harry 1901-1974 Partch, Harry 1901-1974 fast Musical instruments Construction Musical temperament Musical instruments Construction fast Musical temperament fast Hochschulschrift gnd-content BK020300 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB A332 A332 FH MAB G 9783 NELA3321810 IDSBB 100 1- Savage David Allen 1952- Verfasser aut
