| | Clavichord Technique and Performance Practice: An Annotated Bibliography |
 | | Although the purpose here is to provide a resource for performing clavichordists, many other keyboard instrumentalists may benefit from research into the specific technical aspects and performance practice concerns of the clavichord. | | | The idea of clavichord performance practice may seem to be a paradox since, for the largest part of its active history, the clavichord has been relegated to use only as a practice instrument for organists. | | | The able clavichordist is advised to use this source to find music for performing the small repertory of twentieth-century clavichord music in addition to early keyboard music. |

| | Vienna Peformance Tool |
| | Specific Legato Instruments in the Performance Set contain “transition samples” of every possible interval within a two-octave range, and were created specifically to work with Legato Mode. | | | The Performance Tool is a real-time, hyperactive, super smart assistant that is always working in the background, analyzing your performance and choosing the right samples to trigger at the right time, regardless of what you play or how you play it. | | | The Performance Tool is a suite of utilities developed exclusively by the Vienna Symphonic Library that enables an unprecedented degree of realism when used with the Performance Set. |

| | Musical Times: Merely players? |
| | Public concerts and, in a different but comparable way, recordings came about as specific inventions for specific cultural purposes, and these were not the purposes of most types of music before a certain point in its history, or ever in the case of certain types. | | | First, the 'philosophy' behind historically informed performance is only one thing to consider, and to me is nothing like central to the practical issues. | | | The whole issue is rather a conundrum, perhaps because ultimately, most musicologists aren't (or would hate to think of themselves as being) indifferent to live music, and because most performers aren't (or would claim not to be) indifferent to factual knowledge. |

| | Historically Informed Qin Performance |
| | For any specific performance there will always be disagreement about the degree to which it can be called historically informed. | | | An HIP is a performance done in accordance with the historical records of how it was performed at some time in the past. | | | Until more research has been done, perhaps the only way to analyze whether performances from qin tablature can be called historically informed is to examine which aspects are definitely different from the way they would have been done in the past. |

| | HIP (Historically Informed Performance) - Part 11 |
| | Once the stylistic context of a piece of music is established, the specific stylistic details included in a performance of that music can be arrived at through intuition, as well as deduction. | | | That is the way a performer puts across the necessary conviction that makes a performance believable...even if a listener does not agree with the results, the conviction and confidence are important. | | | Since in the case of organs performance and storage areas were the same thing, and since he was responsible for alerting the consistory about possible defects of the instrument entrusted to him due to weather or other factors and was responsible for fixing said problems, the argument you are talking about is not applicable. |

| | Introduction to Performance Improvement |
| | Performance Improvement differs from these approaches by using a systematic methodology to find the root causes of a performance problem and then implement an intervention (or “fix”) that applies to that specific performance deficit. | | | Organizations seeking to solve a performance problem frequently implement a specific intervention, such as training, without fully understanding the nature of the problem or determining whether or not the chosen intervention is likely to succeed. | | | Using the performance factors as a starting point, the stakeholder group participates in a root cause analysis to uncover the environmental factors that are impeding good performance. |

| | Performance Appraisal |
| | Performance improved substantially (11 to 27 percent) in a number of settings when workers were given specific goals to achieve and received performance feedback. | | | When personal traits are considered as part of a performance appraisal, specific characteristics should be related to the job. | | | Sometime before ending this part of the performance appraisal meeting, it is good to review exactly what has been agreed to (a copy of these decisions may be printed out and given to each participant for further review and for a record of the meeting) as well as pending issues for future solution. |

| | Historically, engineers defined the performance using specific impulse, which is actually the Total Impulse divided by the weight of the propellant: Specific Impulse has units of seconds, which for my money, does not really have much physical significance compared to Effective Exhaust Velocity, which is a velocity. | | | Specific Impulse A common performance parameter used to evaluate propulsion systems is specific impulse (Isp). | | | The total impulse of a rocket is found by integrating the thrust over the entire burn time: But, since the thrust can be expressed as: The total impulse can be written as: Effective Exhaust Velocity Revisited So, effective exhaust velocity, c, is really the key performance parameter. |

| | This policy of preference for money damages has avoided proliferation of litigation which can ensue when an aggrieved buyer claims that the proffered specific performance does not meet the quality standards set by the contract or complains of the breaching seller’s delay in rendering the decreed performance. | | | The new rule does not specify whether the parties’ agreement to specific performance must be part of the breached contract or whether they may agree separately to specific performance at some point during judicial proceedings. | | | The proposed liquidated damages section, 2-718, reduces the requirements for enforcement of a liquidated damages contract provision (unwise, arguably, because of the possibility of undue bargaining pressure), but the proposed section does preserve some requirements. |
