›Unendliche Melodie‹. Aufbereitung einer Chiffre zu einer Kategorie der Wagner-Analyse by Ariane Jeßulat

“…Although »Unendliche Melodie« turns out to be problematic as a term due to its multiple scientific and literary contexts, Dahlhaus obviously took advantage of its blurred frame. Understanding the term through the filter of Ernst Kurth’s writings on Bach and Wagner, as he did in his late essay »Wagner und Bach«, Dahlhaus succeeds to work out fruitful categories for music analysis combining Kurth’s aesthetical premises with a pointed comparison between the Parsifal-Vorspiel and the fugue in f#-minor WC II BWV 883. …”

Inelastic Parametric Analysis of Seismic Responses of Multistorey Bidirectional Eccentric Structure by Yu-ping Kuang, Xin-liang Jiang, Nan Jiang

“…Based on a simplified multistorey bidirectional eccentric model composed of bidirectional lateral load-resisting members, a general law is proposed for three-stage natural frequency variation behaviour from elastic stage to inelastic stage of eccentric frame structures with different layers. Different simplification treatments are conducted on each stage and the three stable parameter analysis stages are defined. …”
