A Critical Edition Of Paolo Virchi's Il Primo Libro Di Tabolatura Di Citthara (1574), William E. May

Theses and Dissertations

Paolo Virchi's II primo libro di tabolatura di citthara di ricercati, madrigali, canzoni, napolitane et saltarelli (Venice: Girolamo Scotto, 157414) is typical of many tablatures written for lute and cittern during the sixteenth century. It consists of fantasias, intabulations of madrigals, solo songs for tenor and cittern, and dance music. This thesis presents a complete transcription and analysis of the collection, the only surviving copy of which is preserved in the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna. The edition was made from a microfilm copy obtained from this library.

Virchi's music demonstrates his command of four divergent styles prevalent in the sixteenth century. …

The Unusual American Career Of The Swiss Politician Emily Frey (1838-1922), Hans R. Guggisberg Jun 1986

The Unusual American Career Of The Swiss Politician Emily Frey (1838-1922), Hans R. Guggisberg

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The title of this paper may arouse the expectation that we will concern ourselves mainly with a number of adventurous anecdotes from the biography of a prominent Swiss politician of the late 19th and early 20th century. I do not want to disappoint such expectations altogether. I shall indeed relate several episodes from Emil Frey's life which appear to be worth relating because they are not only quite unusual but - at least to my knowledge - also very little known. Frey's biography is linked to the history of Switzerland and Basel on the one hand, and quite particularly to …

Letter From The Editors, Leo Schelbert, Heinz Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The second newsletter of this year consists of a substantial scholarly article on the American career of the Basel politician Emil Frey by our esteemed advisory board member Hans R. Guggisberg, professor of history at the University of Basel. The article was originally presented as a paper at the 1984 annual meeting of our society in Philadelphia. Professor Guggisberg revised the paper for publication here and in Switzerland. A somewhat shorter version will appear as a commentary in the forthcoming publication of our society with the translation of the letters which Frey wrote when he lived in this country during …

Book Review: Robert Walser Rediscovered: Stories, Fairy-Tale Plays, And Critical Responses, Marianne Burkhard

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Swiss author Robert Walser (1878-1956) was almost forgotten when he died on a Christmas day after having spent over 20 years in the asylum of Herisau refusing all invitations to continue writing. Yet at the beginning of the century he was well known for his poems (1909), his novels (Geschwister Tanner 1906; Der Gehiilfe 1907; Jakob von Gunten 1908), and his numerous short prose pieces published first in newspapers and magazines, then as collections (Fritz Kochers Aufsatze 1904; Kleine Dichtungen 1914; Poetenleben 1917; Die Rose 1925). In the 1960's and 1970's he was rediscovered in Switzerland and Germany; two editions …


Book Review: Konflikte Der Industrialisierung: Industrie, Raum Und Gesellschaft In Glarus Und Scranton 1840-1914, Heinz K. Meier Jun 1986

Book Review: Konflikte Der Industrialisierung: Industrie, Raum Und Gesellschaft In Glarus Und Scranton 1840-1914, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The process of the industrialization of a previously agrarian region is not easy to analyze and evaluate since it is made up of and touches upon qualitative as well as quantitative factors of a considerable variety and complexity. Jurg K. Siegenthaler in his monograph Konflikte der Industrialisierung attempts to provide such an analysis on the basis of a historical-comparative study of two distinct cases of 19th century industrialization, Glarus, a small mountain canton of Switzerland, and Scranton, a city in the Lackawanna valley of northeastern Pennsylvania. The issues raised are significant inasmuch as industrialization is still the prefered precept for …

Swiss Related Place Names In The Usa, Erdmann Schmocker, Kim-Chau Nguyen

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The following pages are excerpts of an extensive project in progress . It all started many years ago when I first became aware of the existence of a few locations in the USA named Bern (Bern, Idaho; Berne, Indiana; New Bern, North Carolina) . This quickly awakened a chauvinistic interest in me asking: "I wonder how many really exist?" (My hometown is Bern, Switzerland) . A cursory look in an atlas produced 17. With the addition of more detailed atlas information, bits and pieces of cross information, chance remarks, etc. (i.e from a collector of postal cancels) the list rather …
