Children's implicit knowledge of harmony in Western music.
2005
Three experiments examined children's knowledge of harmony in Western music. The children heard a series of chords followed by a final, target chord. In Experiment 1, French 6- and 11-year-olds judged whether the target was sung with the vowel /i/ or /u/. In Experiment 2, Australian 8- and 11-year-olds judged whether the target was played on a piano or a trumpet. In Experiment 3, Canadian 8- and 11-year-olds judged whether the target sounded good (i.e. consonant) or bad (dissonant). The target was either the most stable chord in the established musical key (i.e. the tonic, based on do, the first note of the scale) or a less stable chord. Performance was faster (Experiments 1, 2 and 3) and m…
Autonomie e controlli della Corte dei conti nel quadro dei principi costituzionali e dei vincoli sovranazionali in materia economico-finanziaria
2022
Una riflessione dei controlli sulle autonomie territoriali intestati alla Corte dei conti non può prescindere dal loro inquadramento costituzionale. L’A. prospetta una ricostruzione del controllo come espressione di una funzione neutra e imparziale che deve riposare su precisi parametri costituzionali che ne legittimano l’adozione e di cui va resa una stretta interpretazione: il controllo sulle Autonomie territoriali deve così essere necessariamente una attività tale da avvicinarla a quella giurisdizionale piuttosto che amministrativa. È in tale chiave che deve essere inteso il rapporto fra ausiliarietà di cui all’art. 100 Cost. e controlli sui bilanci ed i rendiconti. L’evoluzione del quad…
Il PAES di Palermo: azioni ed interventi di una città in divenire CITTA' COME MOTORE DI SVILUPPO DEL PAESE - The Sustainable energy action plan of Pa…
2013
Il Patto dei Sindaci costituisce la cornice europea per coinvolgere attivamente le città nella strategia verso la sostenibilità energetica e ambientale. L’iniziativa, lanciata nel 2008 nell’ambito della seconda edizione della Settimana europea dell’energia sostenibile, ha portato all’adesione di oltre 1600 città tra cui 20 capitali europee e numerose città di paesi non membri dell’UE, con una mobilitazione di oltre 140 milioni di cittadini. Il Patto allo stato attuale si colloca tra i principali strumenti di sviluppo sul territorio nazionale dei principi di sostenibilità urbana, portando come valore aggiunto il merito di poter essere motore per il rilancio dell’economia e dell’immagine di m…
La pianificazione forestale in Sicilia: storia e recenti evoluzioni
2018
In Sicilia la pianificazione forestale ha avuto di recente una svolta resasi necessaria sia per motivi richiesti dall’autorità europea e da quella nazionale, sia per un’oggettiva necessità del territorio. Dal punto di vista normativo la storia degli ultimi decenni ha visto la Sicilia dotarsi di norme e giuridicamente all’avanguardia e lungimiranti dal punto di vista della conservazione del patrimonio naturale. Si fa infatti riferimento ai piani di assestamento forestale per la gestione del patrimonio boschivo isolano dalle leggi regionali del 1989, del 1996, del 2004 con l’emanazione di linee guida regionali e della LR 14/2006. Quest’ultima in particolare richiamava anche alla necessità di …
The Sickle and the Piano. A Distant Reading of Work in the Nineteenth Century Romanian Novel
2020
This article conducts a semantic search of The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel: The 19th Century (MDRR), through which the authors attempt to identify the occurrences of several key concepts for class and labour imagery in the nineteenth-century Romanian novel, such as “muncă” [labour/work], “muncitor” [labourer/worker], “țăran” [peasant], “funcționar” [civil servant], alongside two main words that strikingly point out to a dissemblance of representation of work: “seceră” [sickle] and “pian” [piano]. The authors show that physical work is underrepresented in the Romanian novel between 1844 and 1900, and that novelists prefer to participate to the rise of the novel through representing …
Riflessioni e traiettorie di ricerca interdisciplinari sulla transizione digitale
2022
The contribution introduces the topic covered by vol. 12 of AGATHÓN through essays, studies, research and projects on Innovability©® | Digital Transition to investigate the current widespread transformation that unites dichotomies (analogue and digital), enhances oxymorons (artificial intelligence), creates paradoxes (materiality of the intangible), while indiscriminately involving architecture, humanities and social sciences, anthropology, sociology, ecology, biology, physical-mathematical sciences and neurosciences, with impacts that – while already visible today and accelerated in part by the extraordinary global health emergency – will become even more evident in the medium and long ter…
The reason for a project that was never performed: Alvar Aalto and the residential complex in Pavia (1966-68)
2015
This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the project for the residential complex "Patrizia" in Pavia by Alvar Aalto (1966-1968). Although not realized, for political and economic reasons, the project offers an interesting example of urban planning in an “organic key”. In particular, this paper aims to contextualize the project of Aalto in the broader context of the residential building in Italy after World War II, when the problems of reconstruction and "home" are the heart of the debate on architecture. The project, in fact, takes place in the years immediately following the experiments of the social housing plan INA CASA (1949-63), which - with differences in design and architect…
Improvisation et processus compositionnel dans la genèse de Fenêtre Ovale de Karl Naëgelen

Improvisation and Compositional Process in Karl Naëgelen’s Fenêtre Ovale
 This paper is centred around the analysis of the creative process underlying the genesis of a recent work of music by French composer Karl Naëgelen, Fenêtre Ovale (2011), written in collaboration with two free improvisers active on the Parisian scene, Ève Risser (piano) and Joris Rühl (clarinet). This piece is remarkable in that, contrary to the vast majority of works composed in a so-called “comprovisation” framework, where the interaction between the composed and the improvised elements essentially takes place during the moments of performance, its score never actually requires any act of improvisation from its…
The keyboard as a part of visual, auditory and kinesthetic processing in sight-reading at the piano
2009
Sight-reading at the piano requires coordination of multiple modalities—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual feedback (obtained by looking at the keyboard and the fingers) is usually regarded as one means by which pianists guide musical performance, but few researchers have focused on the organisational aspects implicit in the information provided by the keyboard. This study investigated the role of the keyboard with respect to the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities involved in sight-reading. Five pianists sight-read two compositions, each in a different musical style. They were then interviewed in a semi-structured interview format. A qualitative content analysis was made fr…
