LUCA ANDREA GIORDANO lives in Italy. He holds doctorate degrees in Foreign Languages, Modern Philology, Vocal Performance (Opera and Chamber music) and Oboe. He is dedicated at being a linguist and interpreter assisting professional departments at various Italian conservatories in English and French. Also, he is an author of extensive analytical works in musicology, linguistics and composition with various publishers. He also performs frequently as a classical singer and oboist at national and international levels. This work is intended as a reference source to provide quick, comprehensive explanations to commonly used and, in some cases, less commonly used terms from the music field (theory, history, forms, techniques and styles of different genres). The selected areas covered in these pages include terms and concepts which are unlikely to change in the near future. As with any dictionary, it is conceived to provide definitions and not merely a glossary of terms, nor it is intended to be encyclopedic, with lengthy and unmethodical explanations. It is aimed at either those who will encounter, probably for the first time, unfamiliar technical terms or those who have already mastered the fundamental concepts but may require further clarification in order to broaden their horizons.

Comprehensive Music Theory: Understanding the Building Blocks of Composition

By: Luca Andrea Giordano

LUCA ANDREA GIORDANO lives in Italy. He holds doctorate degrees in Foreign Languages, Modern Philology, Vocal Performance (Opera and Chamber music) and Oboe. He is dedicated at being a linguist and interpreter assisting professional departments at various Italian Conservatories in English and French. Also, he is an author of extensive analytical works in musicology, linguistics and composition with various publishers. He also performs frequently as a classical singer and oboist at national and international levels. This music theory introduces learners to the basic concepts of western musical language including pitch, duration, scales, keys, intervals, metre, rhythm, ornaments, tuplets, harmony, cadences and other related areas. The outline is ordered sequentially by topic in order to facilitate a stepwise growing understanding while reading. The intuitive and ground-breaking method is based on effective and intelligible definitions that will clarify even the most convolute topics. In this regards, the book is intended for students with little or no musical background as well as for those who have some familiarity but wish to deepen their knowledge and broaden their musical horizons. The last section contains a basic glossary intended for a quick and practical consultation (syntax of music, forms, and techniques of different genres).

Ruggiero Boscovich’s Theory of Natural Philosophy

Points, Distances, Determinations

By: Luca Guzzardi

Drawing on published works, correspondence and manuscripts, this book offers the most comprehensive reconstruction of Boscovich’s theory within its historical context. It explains the genesis and theoretical as well as epistemological underpinnings in light of the Jesuit tradition to which Boscovich belonged, and contrasts his ideas with those of Newton, Leibniz, and their legacy. Finally, it debates crucial issues in early-modern physical science such as the concept of force, the particle-like structure of matter, the idea of material points and the notion of continuity, and shares novel insights on Boscovich’s alleged influence on later developments in physics. With its attempt to reduce all natural forces to one single law, Boscovich’s Theory of Natural Philosophy, published in 1758, left a lasting impression on scientists and philosophers of every age regarding the fundamental unity of physical phenomena. The theory argues that every pair of material points is subject to one mutual force — and always the same force — which is their propensity to be mutually attracted or repelled, depending on their distance from one another. Furthermore, the action of this unique force is visualized through a famous diagram that fascinated generations of scientists. But his understanding of key terms of the theory — such as the notion of force involved and the very idea of a material point — is only ostensibly similar to our current conceptual framework. Indeed, it needs to be clarified within the plurality of contexts in which it has emerged rather than being considered in view of later developments. The book is recommended for scholars and students interested in the ideas of the early modern period, especially historians and philosophers of science, mathematicians and physicists with an interest in the history of the discipline, and experts on Jesuit science and philosophy.

History of Rationalities

Ways of Thinking from Vico to Hacking and Beyond

By: Luca Sciortino

Over time, philosophers and historians of science have introduced different notions of 'ways of thinking'. This book presents, compares, and contrasts these different notions. It focuses primarily on Ian Hacking’s idea of 'style of reasoning' in order to assess and develop it into a more systematic theory of scientific thought, arguing that Hacking’s theory implies epistemic relativism. Luca Sciortino also discusses the implications of Hacking’s ideas for the study of the problem of contingency and inevitability in the development of scientific knowledge
