В статье на основе архивных документов, впервые введенных в научный обиход, реконструируется история Императорского оркестра в СанктПетербурге первой трети ХIХ века. Показано, что в данный период, в отличие от модели Придворного оркестра, существовавшей в эпоху Екатерины Великой, институт оркестра опирался на несколько подразделений. Структура оркестра все более зависела от жизни оперных трупп. Яркой иллюстрацией является история оркестра итальянской труппы созыва 1828 года и реформа оркестра, проведенная Дирекцией Императорских театров в 1831 году параллельно увольнению труппы. Реформа осуществлена директором оркестров К. Кавосом, более известным в качестве композитора, инспектора Театральной школы, капельмейстера Русской оперы. Проясняется значение некоторых важных понятий, связанных с институтом оркестра рассматриваемого периода. The article reconstructs the history of the Imperial orchestra in St. Petersburg of the first third of the 19th century on the basis of archival documents first introduced into the scientific area. It is shown that unlike the model of the Court Orchestra, which existed in the era of Catherine the Great, the institution of orchestra of the beginning of the 19th century relied on several subdivisions. The orchestra structure increasingly depended on the operation of opera companies. A bright illustration is the history of the Italian company orchestra of 1828 and the reform of the orchestra, which followed in connection with its dismissal by the Directorate of Imperial Theatres in 1831. The reform was carried out by the director of orchestras Catterino Cavos, better known as a composer, inspector of the Theatre School, Kapellmeister of the Russian Opera. The author also clarifies the significance of some important terms related to the institution of the orchestra of the period under consideration.

National Style

The article discusses Balys Sruoga’s attitude towards State opera and Lohengrin created by soloist Kipras Petrauskas in the performance “Lohengrin” (Dir. Nikolay Vekov, 1926). Based on Petrauskas’ treatise, Sruoga identified the peculiarities of the national/Lithuanian style of acting, emphasized Lohengrin’s “popular and folk expression”, but did not analyze a wider context of the appearance of this image. By the examples of Richard Wagner’s works and performers it was stated that Lohengrin by Petrauskas was close to the Russian opera theatre and two of the most prominent performers of this role, Leonid Sobinov and Ivan Ershov. It was noted that at the beginning of the 20th century the changes in opera production and directing tradition, which was originally held in Russia by Vsevolod Mejerhold, whose performances were watched and later played by Petrauskas, had very little influence on the Lithuanian opera theatre, opera directing and opera acting. Opera performances followed a realistic tradition of the 19th century, and the stage expression did not depend on the director but on the soloists with excellent vocal and dramatic talent. So when it comes to the Lithuanian features of Lohengrin and the Lithuanian style of acting, it is obvious that this impression was made by the personality of Kipras Petrauskas, the world famous Lithuanian opera soloist.

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.

Levantine immigration to Chile started during the last quarter of the 19th century. This immigration, almost exclusively male at the outset, changed at the beginning of the 20th century when women started following their fathers, brothers, and husbands to the New World. Defining the role and status of the Arab woman within her community in Chile has never before been tackled in a detailed study. This article attempts to broach the subject by looking at Arabic newspapers published in Chile between 1912 and the end of the 1920s. A thematic analysis of articles dealing with the question of women or written by women, appearing in publications such as Al-Murshid, Asch-Schabibat, Al-Watan, and Oriente, will be discussed.

 Bodyweight exercises (also popularly known as calisthenics) is a classic training method and its practice has been widespread since the 19th century, but little evidenced in the scientific literature over the years. This type of training aims to promote multi-system adaptations using body weight as an overload with no or few implements [1–3]. This characteristic makes exercise with body weight easy to apply, in addition to having an excellent cost-benefit ratio when compared to other training possibilities that require machines or materials [4,5].
