“…Thanks to sampling and synthesis, however, electronic music can produce mimetic representations that are virtually indistinguishable from their real-world counterparts." 26 This was largely not realized, though. To the extent that music becomes painting at all in this context, then it is mainly as abstract, non-objective, The foghorns of the entire Caspian fleet took part, all the factory sirens, two batteries of artillery, several infantry regiments, a machine gun unit, numerous hydroplanes, and finally choirs, to which all of the spectators contributed.…”

“…The amazing amount of annual performances of the St. Matthew Passion in the Netherlands is included as one of the examples of this specific sound value category, 24 as is the specific tradition of performances of Gustav Mahler's symphonies, for which conductor Willem Mengelberg laid the foundation 25 -both traditions are listed by Ellen Kempers in the Achter de muziek aan publication. 26 Or, to transfigure these local Dutch examples to Viennese music culture, we can grant the 'Neujahrskonzert' important social significance (23 online hits in the Mediathek) as well as the performance and composing practices of the Waltz within Vienna's cultural history (163 hits). Audiovisual recordings of all these examples are not only of historic, scientific, and/or aesthetic significance, they have a social impact, aiding in the identity of the specific Viennese musical culture.…”

“…It is not by chance that the comprehensive History of Digital Media approaches the topic from a 'global perspective.' 26 On the level of topics, future communication history will need a sense of space to explore yesterday's questions concerning the mobility of people and devices, ubiquity, cross-border civic engagement, transnational community formation, and connectivity as well as a series of questions related to globalization and to the distribution, circulation, and appropriation of media contents and technologies. Besides the features of digital communication per se, the relationship between research and the local has changed as well.…”

“…The relatively short newsreel about the violin making school, which will be presently discussed, was produced in 1941, in the third year of the institu-tion's existence, and is called a Cinegiornale Luce. 26 The format was produced between 1940 and 1945 for propaganda purposes; its main novelty was the participation of directors in both shooting and editing. 27 A year earlier, in June 1940, Italy had declared war on France and England, so the film may be considered not only as propaganda material meant to increase awareness of the craft tradition in Italy, but also as an attempt to feign normality in everyday life.…”

“…25 He then assigns individual human senses to the different approaches to history: historical experience is like "being touched by the past," while the historical text is more about dominating and structuring the past. 26 Written historiography-as Ankersmit puts it-is therefore allocated the metaphor of seeing. 27 Historical debate in turn testifies to the relativity of all historical insight and is therefore linked to the metaphor of hearing.…”

This volume of Music-Media-History deals with a number of topics relating to digital humanities, more specifically to musicology, collecting contributions by a group of international experts from a variety of fields. Most of the chapters in this book were originally discussed at an interdisciplinary conference held at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna in early 2019 and organized by the Telling Sounds research project (www.mdw.ac.at/ imi/tellingsounds), which was planned and financed as an enrichment of the university's infrastructure.Using digitally available audiovisual material stored in various archives and collections and enriching their metadata by means of historical expertise and research, this project's main objective is to understand historicity as a socially and politically significant phenomenon in our society, a society in which it has become a part of everyday life to have immediate access to all manner of information as well as music and music repertoires of the most diverse origins and initial modes of distribution. This research is ongoing; the present volume documents an important step in its development as well as representing the growing international academic community involved.We want to thank all the individuals and institutions who have made this book possible in spite of the unforeseeable difficulties caused by the pandemic in Spring 2020 (in alphabetical order): Gavin Bruce (translation of Hanns-Werner Heister's text), Julia Jaklin (text formatting), Anthony Kroytor (proofreading), Astrid Sodomka (cover design) and Cornelia Szabó-Knotik (head of the Telling Sounds research project); the mdw and the Ministry of Science for their financial support and the publisher for their valuable cooperation.

“Introducing Capisco: a semantically-enhanced search and discovery system for large-scale text corpora”

et al. 2015

This article discusses a new approach to scholarly search and discovery in large-scale text corpora. While lexicographic search is at present the predominant means to access large document corpora, it cannot directly address the inherent ambiguity of natural language. As a pragmatic solution, many scholars manually build their own list of suitable search terms to be used in repeated searches in digital libraries and other online resources; however, scholars then have to resolve on a case-by-case basis issues caused by synonyms, homonyms and OCR errors. Our approach differs from this by supporting scholars in developing and refining a set of relevant concepts, searches a large document collection using semantic concepts, and categorizes the potentially relevant documents from search results into worksets. The developed technique revisits the notion of semantic search and redesigns both the underlying data representation and interface support. This is achieved through an end-to-end design that relies centrally on a Concept-in-Context network sourced through the link structure of Wikipedia. We discuss here the principles of our approach, its implementation in the Capisco prototype, and the relationship between established search techniques and our approach.

The turn toward the digital has opened up previously difficult to access musical materials to wider musicological scholarship. Digital repositories provide access to publicly licensed score images, score encodings, textual resources, audiovisual recordings, and music metadata. While each repository reveals rich information for scholarly investigation, the unified exploration and analysis of separate digital collections remains a challenge. TROMPA-Towards Richer Online Music Public-domain Archives-addresses this through a knowledge graph interweaving composers, performers, and works described in established digital music libraries, facilitating discovery and combined access of complementary materials across collections. TROMPA provides for contribution of expert insights as citable, provenanced annotations, supporting analytical workflows and scholarly communication. Beyond scholars, the project targets four further user types: instrumental players; choir singers; orchestras; and music enthusiasts; with corresponding web applications providing specialised views of the same underlying knowledge graph. Thus, scholars' annotations provide contextual information to other types of users; while performers' rehearsal recordings and performative annotations, conductors' marked up scores, and enthusiasts' social discussions and listening behaviours, become available to scholarly analysis (per user consent). The knowledge graph is exposed as Linked Data, adhering to the FAIR principles of making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable, and supporting further interlinking, re-interpretation and re-use beyond the immediate scope of the project.
