	Curt Sachs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curt Sachs (June 29, 1881 - February 5, 1959) was a German musicologist.
		In 1933, Sachs was dismissed from his posts in Germany by the Nazi Party because he was a Jew.
		Sachs consequently moved to Paris, and later to the United States, where he settled in New York City.

		Sachs feels that nothing justifies the ethnomusicologist’s study of this "artificial exoticism and pseudo-archaism." Rather, that primitive and oriental music is due our utmost respect, "And respect implies the duty to help in preserving it," (Sachs 3).
		Sachs simply describes melody as, "the audible movement of a singing voice from the beginning of a piece through all successive steps to its end," (51).
		Sachs’ research is extensive, looking at primitive music from many different cultures, and referring to the works of his peers.

	Kishibe's diffusionism theory on the Iranian Barbat and Chino-Japanese Pi' Pa'
		Before Kishibe, musicologists such as Carl Engel, Katheleen Schlesinger, Henry Farmer, Curt Sachs, Karl Geiringer, Friedreich Behn and a few others realized that the Chinese pipa was a development of the lute in Western Asia, and that the lute of Central Asia was the transitional type in the development of pipa (ibid: 262).
		Schlesinger and Farmer, on the basis of their study of Arabic literature, concluded that the Arabian lut, el'oud, was influenced by the Sassanian lute, and that the Sassanian lute of the sixth and seventh centuries was called barbud or barbad.
		Curt Sachs, on the other hand, maintained that the origin of the word barbat was in the Sanskrit bharbhu (strongly plucked).

		It is the interest in nature which has been passed on to the grandson: "Nature is a construction, like culture; it is impossible to draw a line where one ends and the other begins.
		Curt Sachs has a consuming interest in Wagner which has increasingly been transferred to the great composer´s patron and protector, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and to his singular way of life in the shadowy places between day and night.

	Tay Sachs Disease -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Tay-Sachs disease (abbreviated TSD) is a fatal genetic disorder, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called ganglioside GM2 accumulate in the nerve cells in the brain.
		The disease is named after the British ophthalmologist Warren Tay who first described the red spot on the retina of the eye in 1881, and the American neurologist Bernard Sachs who described the cellular changes of Tay-Sachs and noted an increased prevalence in the Eastern European Jewish population of 1887.

		Nelly Sachs, (10 December 1891, Berlin - 12 May 1970, Stockholm) was a German poet and dramatist who was transformed by the Nazi experience from a dilettante into a poignant spokesperson for the grief and yearnings of her fellow Jews.
		When, with Shmuel Yosef Agnon, she was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize for Literature, she observed that Agnon represented Israel whereas "I represent the tragedy of the Jewish people." On her passing in 1970, Nelly Sachs was interred in the Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.

		It is clear that Sachs greatly influenced Claudie, who focused definitively on instrumental popular music and organology, and not only on popular songs.
		Personally I appreciate this heritage: Curt Sachs was not only a musicologist, but also an art historian; he influenced museum deontology and remains an exemplary model for methodology in many fields.

	Classifying Musical Instruments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The other way, first published in 1914 by Erich von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs, is to group instruments according to how their sounds are produced.
		The orchestral classification of instruments is useful in the setting of traditional Western classical and art music, but it is a very general classification that doesn't cover many of the world's instruments.
		All the strings are bowed lutes (except for the harp - a harp - and the piano - a struck zither).

	What is a Harp Guitar
		Thus, with Sachs providing separate entries and names for several historical variations on what I now class as "true" harp guitars, he establishes the segregation, misleading names and confusion that are unresolved to this day (leading to the present dissertation).
		Sachs states that this "instrument type has the best claim to the name," and I would agree.
		Both Curt Sachs (in his 1913 book) and Baines (in European and American Musical Instruments, 1966) mention this instrument, but describe it differently - and both are inaccurate.

		If we truly understand the nature of ornamentation, we shall realize it was not something which was "tacked on" to the "tune," but an intrinsic part of the melody which, when performed by a traditional musician, was always ornamented, and was never heard otherwise.

		"Iconographical and textual evidence contradict the widely influential writings of Curt Sachs, which claim that the dulcimer's origin was in the Middle East.
		However, Sachs confuses the psaltery with the dulcimer in using the relief sculpture at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela as evidence and provides no further source for his claim.
		Chapter 4 demonstrates that in Iran the santur first appears in its modern form as a dulcimer only at the end of the fifteenth century and that in an earlier, Egyptian form it was a vertically held box-zither identical to the early qanun.

	The Song of Songs Revealed -- Chapter 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Modern "folk" harp players (when they tune their instruments diatonically "by ear") use the same method in principle that the musicians of Babylonia and Ugarit used to tune their lyres: the "cyclical" tuning which Pythagorus must have encountered in Egypt and Syria (before claiming it as his own discovery!).
		Singing in the ancient Middle East (so musicologist Curt Sachs tells us) was "basically syllabic, and only moderately spiced with ligatures [musical slurs] and melismas [ornaments on a syllable]." Melody "followed ready-made patterns or was composed of carefully classified motives...", which affected the development of notation.
		Sachs believed (ibid.) that ancient melody "was composed of carefully classified motifs, not of single notes" -- which is true only of certain ancient oral folk traditions (including some synagogue chant), not necessarily of ancient art music.

		In the spring of 1934, the German musicologist Curt Sachs left his homeland, Germany, which was brutally under the control of Hitler; soon he met, in Paris, Mr Bernard Steele (from the publishing House "Denoël et Steele").
		Curt Sachs was first and foremost a musicologist.
		Although he initially had the last say on the initial composition of the catalogue, and so determined its limits by heading in many directions, it is noteworthy to find that his effort focused on lesser known works and styles of early masters.

	The Classical Free-Reed, Inc. Taxonomy of Musical Instruments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Austrian musicologist, Erich Moritz von Hornbostel (1877-1935), and his German colleague, Curt Sachs (1881-1959), proposed in 1914 a system of classification for musical instruments which has been criticized and changed in details through the years, but never supplanted.
		The following chart -- of my own design -- (which depicts the position of the free-reed instruments in relation to the entire body of musical instruments) is based upon their work.
		Curt Sachs invented the term "plucked idiophone" for the instrument, which produces sounds due to the rigidity and elasticity of the material from which it is made.

	Dance Quotations
		Dance is, in fact, the most serious intellectual business of savage life: it is the envisagement of a world beyond the spot and the moment of one's animal existence, the first conception of life as a whole.
		Sachs observes that the oldest dance form seems to be the Reign, or cirde dance, which he takes to be a heritage from animal ancestors.
		The number of possible permutations of these twenty figures into dances of seven figures each would then be...390,700,800 (Gene Hubert pointed out that some figures can only be danced from selected positions: revised calculation: 3,538,944 possible contras).
