She had sailed from Yokohama, Japan but her voyage to America had begun much further away. Born in Melitópol’ Ukraine, she had lived in East Asia, and was now on her way to join her older brothers in Detroit, Michigan. Tarakhovska͡ia (1903–1983) was not only well-traveled but also deeply musical: she carried with her two bound volumes of print and manuscript scores that she had collected for her personal use. These albums documented her own development as a musician and her awareness of artistic tastes within the Ukrainian diaspora. They also capture her experience of musical life in Harbin, China, a place that attracted numerous émigrés and refugees in the early twentieth century. The kharbintsy, as these residents became known, were a highly diverse group. In the early 1920s, Harbin transitioned from Russian rule to local control. Tarakhovska͡ia’s collection offers a rare surviving example of amateur musical interests during an important period of change. Her music represents an expansive network of international music printers, publishers, and sellers, suggesting the remarkable paths of transmission through which Western repertoire was disseminated among émigrés in East Asia. It reveals the continuing influence of Imperial Russia and features some of the Jewish (and non-Jewish) artists who sought to establish their careers amidst a new, tumultuous context. Perhaps most importantly, the music reflects the complicated political and social relationships that shaped Harbin’s artistic landscape. Like the city itself, Tarakhovska͡ ia’s collection shows that it was possible for musical life to flourish among the kharbintsy even in the midst of upheaval and uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":44162,"journal":{"name":"NOTES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140091397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We welcome the advice and expertise of the community of Notes readers to inform our deliberations. Specifically, when referring to the sources of musical sound, should we be describing the objects (e.g., aerophone), the properties (e.g., piccolo), or some combination of the two? The Institute for Knowledge Organization and Structure convened a research group to discuss “the phenomena of music for classification.” What does it mean to classify the phenomena of music rather than musical documents or documents containing texts about music? How might we represent music apart from its documentary representations (scores, recordings, etc.)? We considered the Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus (LCMPT) and Hornbostel-Sachs (H-S) classification. The universal Basic Concepts Classification (BCC) is interdisciplinary and is organized around phenomena (things), relators (the relationships that exist among phenomena), and the properties that phenomena and relators may possess. We sought a comprehensive classification of medium of performance for the BCC. H-S focuses on the physical nature of instruments and how they make sound, the LCMPT effectively identifies specific instruments by name. H-S does not provide the level of granularity that we need but LCMPT’s larger set of terms are organized with only a few layers of hierarchy. H-S avoids local nomenclature, LCMPT embraces it. The two are attractive because they provide well-developed vocabulary and because their differences manifest as different strengths for a Semantic Web application. Ultimately our analysis reaches no specific conclusion. Instead, we have reflected thoroughly on the panoply of phenomena associated with the representation of medium of performance as phenomena of music in nondocumentary contexts.","PeriodicalId":44162,"journal":{"name":"NOTES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140083766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
