Description
Four Souvenirs for Violin and Piano was composed by Paul Schoenfeld (b.1947) in 1990 as a showpiece, spotlighting the virtuosity of both the violin and piano in equal measure. Each movement is a modern interpretation of a folk or popular genre, re- envisioned over intricate jazz harmonies and rhythms. The work was commissioned by violinist Lev Polyakin, who specifically requested some short pieces that could be performed in a local jazz establishment named Night Town in Cleveland, Ohio. The result is a work that is approximately fifteen minutes in length. Schoenfeld is a respected composer in the contemporary classical music community, whose Café Music (1986) for piano trio has recently become a staple of the standard chamber music repertoire. Many of his other works, however, remain in relative obscurity. It is the focus of this document to shed light on at least one other notable composition; Four Souvenirs for Violin and Piano. Among the topics to be discussed regarding this piece are a brief history behind the genesis of this composition, a structural summary of the entire work and each of its movements, and an appended practice guide based on interview and coaching sessions with the composer himself. With this project, I hope to provide a better understanding and appreciation of this work.

Description中国商品期货市场经历30年发展，已初备协调资源分配、对冲经营风险的功能。但受产业自身和期货市场发展的制约，各期货品种市场有效性参差不齐。随着我国经济从增量阶段过渡到存量阶段，期货作为企业的价格管理和风险控制工具的重要性日益凸显，因此研究我国商品期货市场有效性具有非常好的现实意义。
本文开创性的从期货的基本功能——资源配置的角度出发，提出有效市场是指其期货价格能够对本行业社会资源起到合理的调配作用的市场。在内容安排上，本文首先总结了现有国际成熟期货品种的特点并找出能够反映期货对资源配置能力的四个指标假说，分别为期现回归性、利润波动性、库存波动性以及现金流变化，然后通过数学模型证明指标数据和品种成熟度的关联，最后应用该套指标对我国商品市场有效性进行检验。数学方法上，本文先采用Bai-Perron内生多重结构突变模型对时间序列进行突变点检验，然后对断点时间序列分别进行多元回归，并在剔除季节性和周期性后，通过平稳性检验、ARCH效应检验结果来确定相应的Garch模型，并用Garch模型来描述时间序列的波动性。
通过数学验证，我们认为期现回归性、利润波动性、库存波动性以及现金流变化这四个指标可以作为反映期货成熟度的检验指标，用该套方法对国内部分活跃品种检验后发现大连豆粕期货已经具备成熟品种的特征，本文认为豆粕期货市场是有效的；PTA、玉米淀粉期货的四个检验指标在近年来表现出时间序列优化的特点，但因时间较短尚不稳定，可以认为是接近成熟的品种；而螺纹钢和铝期货在多数指标上表现不佳，表明他们对社会资源配置能力较差，因此本文认为螺纹钢和铝期货市场是活跃但非有效的。通过进一步分析，本文认为品种的期现回归性差是制约其资源配置能力发挥的关键因素，而交易标的不明确、
仓单制作难度大、产业参与度低以及期货设计中的其他限制因素又是导致期现回归性差的重要原因。

Description
Samuel Máynez Prince (1886-1966), was a prolific and important Mexican musician. Prince’s musical style followed the trends of the nineteenth-century salon music genre. His compositions include lullabies, songs, dances, marches, mazurkas, waltzes, and revolutionary anthems. Prince’s social status and performances in the famed Café Colón in Mexico City increased his popularity among high-ranking political figures during the time of the Mexican Revolution as well as his status in the Mexican music scene.
Unfortunately there is virtually no existing scholarship on Prince and even basic information regarding his life and works is not readily available. The lack of organization of the manuscript scores and the absence of dates of his works has further pushed the composer into obscurity. An investigation therefore was necessary in order to explore the neglected aspects of the life and works of Prince as a violinist and composer. This document is the result of such an investigation by including extensive new biographical information, as well as the first musical analysis and edition of the complete recovered works for violin and piano.
In order to fill the gaps present in the limited biographical information regarding Prince’s life, investigative research was conducted in Mexico City. Information was drawn from archives of the composer’s grandchildren, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Conservatorio Nacional de Música de México, and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional. The surviving relatives provided first-hand details on events in the composer’s life; one also offered the researcher access to their personal archive including, important life documents, photographs, programs from concert performances, and manuscript scores of the compositions. Establishing connections with the relatives also led the researcher to examining the violins owned and used by the late violinist/composer.
This oral history approach led to new and updated information, including the revival of previously unpublished music for violin and piano. These works are here compiled in an edition that will give students, teachers, and music-lovers access to this unknown repertoire. Finally, this research seeks to promote the beauty and nuances of Mexican salon music, and the complete works for violin and piano of Samuel Máynez Prince in particular.
