This section will improve students’ understanding of scale technique by exploring the fingering practices of major 19th-century guitarists—Carulli, Carcassi, Sor, Aguado, Coste, Mertz—including how these practices evolved and their significance when performing music by these composers. Then follow a series of scale pieces in the lower positions suitable for students in their first years of study, followed by scale studies in the upper positions suitable for more advanced students. Pieces from the literature for lute are included to provide music containing scales that is accessible to those starting out. This is followed by advanced upper-position material. The section ends with an exploration of how to develop advanced right-hand fingering practices through the use of three-finger patterns to aid the develop of speed and to solve the problems of fingering nonidiomatic music, such as the more difficult works of J. S. Bach.

Repeated notes are used frequently in compositions for the guitar as a way to provide the illusion of greater sustain or as a technique to add brilliance. Modern guitarists usually think of tremolo technique when they think of repeated notes, but tremolo technique is relatively recent. This chapter documents the practices used by early lutenists and 19th-century guitarists to play repeated notes and it provides material for studying the various ways these musicians developed their techniques. The discussion of Fernando Sor’s use of the right-hand thumb and index finger for repeated notes will be of interest to today’s guitarists. This chapter also explores the ways in which 19th-century guitarists played passages that modern guitarists might assume to be examples of modern tremolo technique. The fingering practices in this chapter are not covered in standard modern method books.

Alfredo Piatti is accepted as one of the important composers of violoncello repertoire. Op. 25/ 12 Solo violoncello caprices, which Piatti composed and dedicated to famous violoncello composer and player Bernhard Cosmann in 1865, has a very important role in the violoncello literature. This research, which has been written with the aim of analyzing Paitti’s caprices both for their compositions and informativeness, is thought to be fruitful for students and academicians. These caprices include Detache, Legato, Spiccato, Arpeggiato, Ricochet, Martele, Staccato, Pizzacato and right-hand techniques, which are accepted as advanced techniques in playing violoncello and also they involve left-hand techniques such as thumb position, double stops, and flageolet. Identifying Piatti, who has a great contribution to 19th century violoncello literature and getting to know events, which shaped his music can make us understand his music better. Moreover, knowing about which techniques do the caprices with technical and musical richness include can enable us playing them.

Trunk Skin

A 55-year-old woman was referred because of diffuse pruritic erythematous lesions and an ischemic process of the third finger of her right hand. She was known to have anaemia secondary to hypermenorrhea. She presented six months before admission with a cutaneous infiltration on the left cubital cavity after a paravenous leakage of intravenous iron substitution. She then reported a progressive pruritic erythematous swelling of her left arm and lower extremities and trunk. Skin biopsy of a lesion on the right leg revealed a fibrillar, small-vessel vasculitis containing many eosinophils.Two months later she reported Raynaud symptoms in both hands, with a persistent violaceous coloration of the skin and cold sensation of her third digit of the right hand. A round 1.5 cm well-delimited swelling on the medial site of the left elbow was noted. The third digit of her right hand was cold and of violet colour. Eosinophilia (19 % of total leucocytes) was present. Doppler-duplex arterial examination of the upper extremities showed an occlusion of the cubital artery down to the palmar arcade on the right arm. Selective angiography of the right subclavian and brachial arteries showed diffuse alteration of the blood flow in the cubital artery and hand, with fine collateral circulation in the carpal region. Neither secondary causes of hypereosinophilia nor a myeloproliferative process was found. Considering the skin biopsy results and having excluded other causes of eosinophilia, we assumed the diagnosis of an eosinophilic vasculitis. Treatment with tacrolimus and high dose steroids was started, the latter tapered within 12 months and then stopped, but a dramatic flare-up of the vasculitis with Raynaud phenomenon occurred. A new immunosupressive approach with steroids and methotrexate was then introduced. This case of aggressive eosinophilic vasculitis is difficult to classify into the usual forms of vasculitis and constitutes a therapeutic challenge given the resistance to current immunosuppressive regimens.

The 19Th Century

In this paper, we analyse features of the grammatical descriptions in Manchu grammar books from the Qing Dynasty. Manchu grammar books exemplify how Chinese scholars gave Chinese names to grammatical concepts in Manchu such as case, conjugation, and derivation which exist in agglutinating languages but not in isolating languages. A thorough examination reveals that Chinese scholarly understanding of Manchu grammar at the time had attained a high degree of sophistication. We conclude that the reason they did not apply modern grammatical concepts until the end of the 19th century was not a lack of ability but because the object of their grammatical descriptions was Chinese, a typical isolating language.
