appear to be a cause for concern for Mr. Moreno’s learning or memory abilities at this time. Mr. Moreno was administered the WTAR. Mr. Moreno’s cognitive outcomes were stable and average in performance. The estimate of Mr. Moreno’s premorbid Full-Scale IQ was 84 plus or minus 15 points or likely falling in the Low Average Range in the 14-percentile range. Mr. Moreno’s scores on the Personality Assessment Screener (PAS) suggest a marked risk for clinical problems in areas…
In recent years, the consequences of repeated head injuries and concussions suffered by athletes have been propelled into notoriety. High profile cases of suicide, domestic abuse, and disease diagnoses in athletes, have prompted increased research into the phenomenon and preventative measures to reduce head injuries to be implemented (Remington, 2014). According to Guskiewics and his colleagues (2005), repeated concussions is linked to diseases such as early-onset Dementia, Alzheimers, Attention…
Balance Assessment in Parkinson’s Disease Using Virtual Reality Evidence-based practice includes the integration of patient values and focuses on the most appropriate course of action through clinical expertise and best available research. In order to produce the best research a clinician must form an adequate question and search strategy, critique the research found, critically interpret the findings, and apply them to each patient scenario. For instance, a clinical scenario could be, “Gerald…
Introduction One of the most remarkable composers of the nineteenth century, Chopin composed exclusively for the piano and his music is innovative with a particular repertoire of technical and expressive devices. His musical style can be described as unique because of his variety and complexity of compositional techniques. The Piano Sonata Op.35 No.2 is an illustration of Chopin’s musical style where he explores several elements found in the nineteenth century music such as the “idea of…
only one turn), and le huchet (the horn with which one calls from afar). These horns were mostly popular in Europe. The first horns were “monotone” instruments. The most useful range to write horn music in was in the upper harmonics, or “clarino” range, where the natural harmonics are close together. If the hornist needed to switch keys in the music, they had to switch and play a different horn. The impracticality of this led to the creation of the crook. In 1753, a german hornist created…
themes, are played on a rhythmic pattern without variations from the beginning to the Finale, structured in two bars, initially played only by drums, and it is used as introduction for two bars every time one of the themes come in. Some instruments double the key of the piece just by octaves, like the Celesta, playing the melodies two or three octaves above; other using diatonic chords (like Piccolo) Ravel escape from the rigid melodic…
posth. 67, No. 2 begins with a double period (mm. 1-16) that briefly modulates in and out of the relative key of B-flat major. The first two measures use a v-i progression in g minor that is the mimicked with a modulated V-I in B-flat in measure three and four to finish the phrase with an IAC to solidify the beginning of the common double period structure. The motif then repeats itself over the v-i progression in g minor again, but changes…
is composed in a D melodic minor scale, and the lower voice is written in A melodic minor. Mosco Carner states that “Bach in contrast to most modern composers, is here as much concerned with the vertical factor as he is with the horizontal.” In the previous example, the key relationship of an ascending perfect fifth creates a euphonic sound because there is only one conflicting scale degree.…
one of the pioneer string instrument jazz musicians started to use around the 1890’s to provide a low-pitched bass line that would outline the chord sequences of any song. Before jazz, the bass was mostly known for its use in grand orchestras. The double bass arose in Germany during the late 1650’s. It was mostly used in Orchestras for classical music, creating a low pitched base for the violins and violas while harmonizing with the cellos. As time evolved, around 1890, the African American…
widely known as a music critic and editor while in Vienna. Upon analyzing classical pieces from the 18th century, Schenker started tinkering with the idea of secondary dominant chords. It was in his book Harmonielehre were he stated that in a harmonic scale, if you take the fifth and stack another fifth on top of it, you will find that chord’s secondary dominant chord. This theory paved the way toward smoother key changes and…
