Lectures

Welcome to the ABP Lectures page, an online bibliography designed to present all lectures on the subject of double bass and various other divisions of double bass scholarship. The goal was to create a comprehensive world listing that will serve both as a reference on the past lectures and an inspiration for future presentations.

The lectures are grouped by subject headings cited in the main index (below) and they all follow a custom record design described in the Record Format section. This format was designed with the goal to offer the additional references, documents and media related to the lecture. Among those you may find handouts, follow-up articles, theses, lecture reviews, photos, and certainly lecture audio and video streams, where available. The procedures and standards for lecture inclusion and general organization of the featured records are all explained in the Classification Criteria & Organization section.

Montag, Lajos
Colloquium Closing Talk

Note:
This lecture-talk by famous Hungarian bass pedagogue Lajos Montag is not officially cited in the program of the Colloquium Report (cited below), yet, his presentation has been printed in the same report later on. It is fascinating to note that Prof. Montag cites in this talk a little know quote from Goethe that says:

Wenn das Gewölbe wiedershallt, Fühlt man erst recht des Basses Grundgewalt

Translation:
When the space truly echoes, then the true power of the bass is felt.

Note:
This lecture talk has also served as a basis for the following article:

Montag, Lajos. (no official lecture title, just listed in the publication index under “Kurzbeiträge” (short contributions) p. 3) Bericht über das Kolloquium anläslich seines 175.

[ The DoubleBass as Observed from a Historical Viewpoint (as translated in ISB Magazine lecture review) ]

Note:
The ISB Magazine review mentions the use of music examples and slides, so it appears that the lecture resembled a modern “PowerPoint” presentation to some extent. Furthermore, this lecture was published in symposium proceedings by the Academy of Music, Breslau under the document Nr. 12, 1977, pp. 32-52.

It is also interesting to note that this lecture took place in Breslau which is called Wrocław in Polish, although the conference and the reviews title it as Breslau in 1974.

The Long Missed Haydn – Concerto?

Note:
Although this lecture was not officially announced in the convention program, it drew quite an attention as there was an expectation that some new facts about Haydn’s concerto, or possibly even an actual discovery of this lost concerto to be announced. Yet, at the end it turned out that Prof. Trumpf has presented an unknown concerto in disguise, and which at the end turned to be a Sperger concerto. That was done with an idea to present Sperger’s mastery of composition as similar, if not equal, to that of Haydn himself. The audience was puzzled on this approach although the very presentation of Sperger’s composition technique was certainly of interest to learn about.

The Long Missed Haydn – Concerto?

Note:
Although this lecture was not officially announced in the convention program, it drew quite an attention as there was an expectation that some new facts about Haydn’s lost concerto, or possibly even an actual discovery of this composition will be announced. Yet, at the end it turned out that Prof. Trumpf has presented “an unknown concerto” in disguise, and which at the end turned to be a Sperger concerto. That was done with an idea to present Sperger’s mastery of composition as similar, if not equal to that of Haydn himself. The audience was to a degree puzzled on this approach although the very presentation of Sperger’s composition technique was certainly of general interest.

Scott Huston : A Maverick in Music

Note:
This lecture recital features a mid 60s chamber and solo bass music by American composer Scott Huston. Phenomena dates to 1966 while Bass Suite to 1968. Thus likely the lecturer may have been in contact with the composer while preparing this recital, since these compositions predate the perfomance only by a decade. The performance of these compositions could not be located in any online media at the present.

Historical Bass Bow Exhibition

[ possibly with exhibition guidance or a small lecture ]

Note:
The lecture on historical bows and a bow collection by bowmaker Brend Dölling was announced in the convention program on p. 53 cited: “the results of his research (on historical bows) can be heard in a lecture during the International Bass Week.” Yet, the only hint that such an event or lecture may have occurred is a note in the ISB Magazine (18, 1, 1991) which mentiones a bow exhibition presentation prior to the opening concert on May 24. Thus perhaps a future inquiry may reveal if indeed there was  some speech during the bow exhibition opening on May 24, 1991?

The Basset instrument designates in general a smaller stringed bass that may match  in size the violoncello, and in fact, sometime it is a violoncello. However, whether  this lecture has covered only the violoncellos and violoncello sized instruments, or has also dealt with broader  spectrum of mid to smaller violoni, is to be determined.

Lowe, Harold
Doctor of Arts Lecture Recital (The Violinist Teaches Viola, Cello and Double Bass)

[ Translated text in Brackets ]

Notes:
This is a record of interest since it shows an early Doctoral Lecture recital from 70s on bass. An interesting point of this event is that apparently the artist is featured on all four of stringed instruments (violin, viola, violncello and double bass). Moreover, although the exact content of this lecture-performance can not be deduced  from the program, the cited bass repertoire appears quite advanced for 1973 (Elliott Carter and Cassadesus – Handel)

Harlod Lowe has received a DA degree from the Ball State with a dissertation A Study Of The Tone Quality Of Beginning Violin Students Using The Long Bow Stroke Approach As Compared To The Short Bow Stroke Approach (1973), and while the thesis covers the violin technique, it is interesting to note that the advisor for this thesis was Dr. Philip Albright who was a double bass sprofessor at Ball State at that time. Thus it is likely that Harold Lowe was also a trained bass player.

Classification Criteria

The Lectures page is organized by the subject headings that feature lectures chronologically and where  the latest lecture is always on the top. Some lectures may belong to more than one subject, and in such cases the lecture record will indicate in the Note section where else is the lecture listed. This was done on purpose and for the benefit of those who may wish to check similar lectures in the other subject listings.

In respect to classification criteria the lectures on this page will also include the following presentation types:

Public panels with moderator, or without one.
Public interviews where commonly there is an interviewer and a person interviewed.
Public paper readings where a lecturer reads their own “prewritten” paper

The Master Classes however are not listed here as these will get eventually their own page at ABP.

The Subject headings for the lectures were initially derived from the Dissertations since many of the thesis projects were resulting in lectures, before these were finalized as theses. However, during the work on lectures bibliography it was soon discovered that the number of subjects covered by lectures by far surpasses the number of subjects in the Dissertation page, thus you will note many more of them here.

For all the other information on the individual record organization please the Record Format heading below.




Record Format

This section presents a Record Format map used in this listing along with detailed information on data presented in each field. You may note that the featured organization of a record reminds more of a typical online library record, than a common bibliographic one-line citation used in Books and Dissertations pages. Initially though, a single-line MLA citation was considered for the Lectures page as well. Yet, as the information started to accumulate for each discovered lecture, it became obvious that for a quality and comprehensive lecture record, the amount of linked data would prove inadequate and too long for a legible overview. Thus, and after some effort, the final record design has crystallized in a form that you see explained below. The main purpose of this format is to offer an interactive experience with access to related theses, articles, conferences, and certainly the relevant audio and video recording of a lecture where available.

In the future, and when this portal evolves in technical terms, it may be possible to offer a single-line lecture citation on demand in the same way that databases such as WorldCat or JSTOR offer them now with their records. Yet for now, and should you need to cite any of the featured lectures for academic purpose, the transfer of lecture data to a typical bibliographic citation will need to be done manually.

1. Date / Time

Date and time are cited in a two line format as presented below:

October 8, 2010
1:00 pm

The date is cited in American format while all European times are converted to am – pm American time  format too. For the sake of uniformity only the beginning time for the lecture is cited, even if full lecture duration is available.



2. Presented by

This field presets the name of lecturer / presenter in the Last, First name format. This was done in order to simplify the one-line citation since all the bibliographic formats cite the names in such way. In addition, and in the cases where there is more than one lecturer / participant, you will find respectively more names listed as well. With Panel Discussions and Interviews you will also note here in brackets a citation of the role for each participant. Commonly these roles will refer to moderator, guest speaker, demonstrator, performer, assistant or even “unknown” if the name of presenter is not known. In some instances you may also find here the alternative name spelling for the presenter if such is available.

It should noted that the featured names have not been unified by the LC Uniform Name Authority standard, so you will find lecturers names cited here as they are presented in the original sources. Thus the last names such as Glöckler or Gloeckler; or respectively Joëlle or Joelle will differ from one record to another. The future update and integration of this page in a comprehensive integrative portal database will however offer the full uniform name systematization as well.

It should also be noted that it is common in bass community to refer to bassists by their abbreviated, common or a nick name. Thus you will find some Roberts cited as Bobs, and Stephens as Steves, as they are presented in convention programs and lecture reviews.



3. Lecture Title

The Lecture Title presents the lecture title as printed in the bibliographic source, whether it is a lecture program, convention program, lecture review or similar source.


Lecture Title Citation

Lecture title citation will always be presented in Bold and Italic for the sake of easy identification. It will be cited as featured in the bibliographic source and in the original language. If the title differs with different sources, than the most credible one will be used. For example, with some lectures the title cited in conference announcement or conference program, may differ from the one cited in lecture review. Sometime it may be abbreviated when comparing two sources; sometime it may be slightly altered. In such cases the version that seems the more credible, or the last one commonly cited, will be featured in this field. Furthermore, and given the time passage of some lectures cited, it may actually be very difficult or even impossible to know whether the speaker themselves may have changed the name of the lecture during the event, or was it done by the reviewers later on. However it is also important to note that the lecture title discrepancies may be noted on all levels, from the top scholarship conferences and their proceedings, to the general bassists’ meetings.


Title Translation

Where the title is cited in the foreign language, commonly the translation will be provided in common italic font within the square brackets right below the main Lecture Title Citation. For example: [ Title Translation ]. As in the case with Lecture Title Citation some lecture reviews or conference reports may offer differing lecture translations, and in those cases the best suitable translation is chosen among the available. In some instances, and where the translation does not appear to follow the meaning of the lecture title thoroughly, the translation could also be slightly altered to present a better meaning of the original title. All the other lecture title translations that were not cited in any other source are provided by the author of this site.

In addition, the field that is right below the Lecture Title Citation may also cite the following related info: [ paper reading ] ; [ paper edited by (Name) ] or [ DVD presentation ] . These designators are usually too short to be mentioned in the “Note” section.


Note

The Note section will commonly include the lecture summaries, peculiarities, reception commentaries, or any other unique features worth of notice. Pending on the circumstance the note may offer a quote from the lecture review that may clarify the content and lecture topic, or may simply be a commentary on the lecture content from the perspective of the other similar lectures on the same subject. The field is otherwise designed to help a viewer understand better the lecture presentation.


Note – Related Article

The Note section may also present a Related article section where a lecture and a lecture research may have preceded the article. This is important because the related article will commonly present the lecture content in somewhat improved and more complete way than the lecture itself. Thus where available, the official institutional online citation or the article download link will also be provided.


Related Thesis

With some lectures, and particularly with the Degree Lectures, the lecture commonly precedes the final scholarly work. Thus it was thought prudent to cite the final thesis with a download link where available as well. With such a string of citations one may also follow the completed research work that the lecture was part of. There is a variety in offering on how the lecture may, or may not relate to the thesis, and indeed some Degree Lectures do not have a thesis counterpart, but where they do, those will be cited in this field.





4. Lecture Type

This column will cite all the lecture types that have been discovered during the research work on the Lectures page. An initial impression that lectures may only be divided in common academic and convention types, was found quickly to be quite limited in respect to the actual diversity of types discovered. Therefore all the categories have been dully noted, systematized and offered here with abbreviation descriptors for the user’s benefit.

It should be noted that for this listing the very lecture concept is expanded beyond the common single person talk, to also include the following presentation types:

Public panels with a moderator, or without one.
Public interviews where commonly there is an interviewer and a person interviewed.
Public paper readings where a lecturer reads their own “prewritten” paper.

The decision to include these profiles of presentations was thought prudent as it offers more records in domain of public presentations and along more sources to those who wish to explore a particular subject.


Abbreviations

In this field you will find the lecture abbreviations explained.

It should be noted however that the process of classification with some lectures was difficult either due to the lack of available data, or to the complexity of the presentation itself. So you may find that with some of them a type ascription was simply an educated guess. Yet in general, with the majority of lectures it was possible to get an accurate profile of what kind of a combination of talk, demonstration, performance, recital or a concert did they offer.

Abbreviations’ Descriptions:

CLCongress Lecture, Convention Lecture, Conference Lecture or a Scholarly Meeting Lecture

Subclass:

LCLecture and Concert (similar to Lecture Recital)

Example:

CL – LC

LDLecture Demonstration

ALAcademic Guest Lecture

Academic Lectures commonly represent the guest lectures of a scholar at a collegiate institution, scholaryl society, or a general public space such as museum, or church. By scholar this listing considers anyone with accumulated expertise who is ready to share it with the public.

DLDegree Lecture

A Degree Lecture, as the name implies, is a lecture offered as a part of a collegiate curricular work toward some degree. The present search has discovered that commonly those lectures belong to Doctoral degree presentations, yet it is possible that the future inquiries may bring also the Masters / Magister or even Bachelor / Diploma lectures in bass field.

Subdivision of Degree Lectures:

LUnclassified Lecture
LRLecture Recital

Lecture Recital Designators:
DMADoctor of Musical Arts
MMMaster of Music
BMBachelor of Music

Example:

DL – LR / DMA

This is an abbreviation for a DMA Degree Lecture that was offered as a Lecture Recital required for that particular degree.

ELEvent Lecture

A casual lecture at any type of meeting/gathering and which may not fit the criteria applied to other lectures.





5. Venue

The venue field cites all the pertinent information on the venue name and location at which a lecture took place. Commonly those will be Conferences, Conventions and Scholarly Meetings of various profiles. Yet if the lecture was not a part of the organized meeting, then only the location where the lecture took place is cited. In the Venue column you will commonly find the name and address of the venue, the lecture citation source, and the lecture reviews, where available.


Venue Name / Title

The Venue Name / Title will commonly cite the following: Conference or Convention name ; Institution name (University, College, Church, or any other hall) ; The Address that consists of City, State and Country and lastly, the dates during which the conference took place.

Example:
International Society of Bassists Convention 2015

For many of the cited lectures the source was the magazine of the International Society of Bassists, which you will find here listed always and only as ISB Magazine. This was done in order to simplify the matters since the ISB Magazine has changed the name several times over the years. If interested to find out the exact magazine (journal) titles, please see the ABP Bass Journals – International Society of Bassists (ISB) where all ISB journal issues are indexed with their titles at the time of printing. Also, bear in mind that some citations may mention the other International Society of Bassists non-magazine publications such as the pre-magazine The Bass Sound Post, the ISB printed newsletter The Bass Line, and the online newsletter ISB E-Bass Line.


Lecture Review

In this field you will find the featured lecture review, whether from a journal or from some other source. It is hoped that with the passage of time the additional reviews may be come to the fore, and consequently be cited in this field.


Convention Overview or Conference Report

Similarly to the Lecture Review, the Convention Overview will cite any general meeting overviews that may exist in print or other media. With some lectures, and so far, only the Convention Overviews were located and these are respectively cited.





6. Media

The Media section is designed to present any media related to the lecture that can offer more information on the content of the lecture. Obviously, if a video or audio recording of a lecture exist, those will be of most value as these can mimic the actual presence at the lecture. However even photos from the lecture and along a poster announcements may enhance the knowledge of the event.

From the academic perspective however, any handouts and possible syllabi affiliated with the lecture, are very valuable, as they were designed to be an integral part of the lecture presentation and should be included with the lecture record. Moreover if a lecture was not taped, but the original lecture notes exist, those when digitized can also present much useful information on the event and its content. Likewise, the possible PowerPoint presentations used during the lecture are also of scholarly value and these can also be presented in digital form.

Lastly, the post-lecture gathering photos, or any other preserved mementos related to a particular lecture in broader terms, including personal memories on the event, are important and should be preserved for posterity. Even the lecture testimonies by the attendees and the contemporary comments in e mails and personal letters are worth preserving and should be preserved.

For a quick reference, the media field will commonly feature one of the following media types:

Lecture Audio
Lecture Video
Lecture Transcript
Lecture Photos
Lecture Notes
Lecture Handout
Lecture PowerPoint (pdf or other format)
Lecture Testimony
Lecture references in e mails or personal correspondence transferred to digital form as the text doc, pdf doc or an image (jpeg or similar).

In that respect, anyone who has presented or witnessed a bass lecture, whether cited in this listing or not, and who wishes to contribute any of accompanying lecture materials to the present or future bass lecture records, please be welcome to contact ABP and you will get a generous commendation for an effort on this page at Page Development Assistance  section.

With gratitude,
