A study and an approach to historical performance practices in the French Baroque based on François Couperin\u27s Treiziéme Concert à 2 instrumens à L\u27unisson

The purpose of this document is to examine and explain historical performance practices as applicable to the Treiziéme Concert à 2 instrumens à L’unisson of Fran çois Couperin. It provides an in depth look at the written and unwritten traditions of tempo, articulation, phrasing, ornamentation, and the use of in égal. Meant as a guide for players of the modern bassoon, this monograph guides the reader through the aspects of performance practice listed above and their application to that instrument. This document contains an introductory chapter and a biographical chapter. The remaining chapters explain the components of historical performance practice that warrant consideration in the Treiziéme Concert à 2 instrumens à L’unisson. The final chapter serves as a preface to an edited version of the 13th concert. There are two appendices. The first appendix is a clean copy of the facsimile reprint, in modern notation, and the second appendix is an edited performing edition of the work. Both appendices were created with the Finale computer notation program

Evaluation of Alternative Base Periods for a National Rice Counter Cyclical Payment Program Including Added AMTA

The analysis was completed for one year, namely, 2001 using the FAPRI baseline rice price of $6.29/cwt. as the mean price for 2001. Risk for price and yields was incorporated into the analysis to appropriately replicate the historical variability for these variables. The counter cyclical payment (CCP) payments were calculated based on a national revenue. CCP payments were assumed to be triggered if total planted acre market receipts for rice (national planted acre yield times national season average price) was less than the average national planted acre receipts for a particular base period.Agricultural and Food Policy,

Evaluation of Alternative Base Periods for a National Counter Cyclical Payment Program for Rice, Upland Cotton, Corn, Wheat, Soybeans and Sorghum

A risk analysis of a national counter cyclical payment (CCP) program for six crops was completed for one year. National planted acre yield risk over the 1986-2000 period was used with FAPRI’s stochastic projection of crop prices for 2001 in the analysis. Four alternative base periods for triggering a CCP were evaluated. Three Added AMTA scenarios and a Base scenario of no additional market loss or CCP were also run for each of the crops.Agricultural and Food Policy,

Analysis of H.R. 2646 on Land Tenure Arrangements on U.S. Representative and Texas FARM Assistance Farms

This report analyzes whether H.R. 2646 may provide economic incentives for landlords to end current land tenure arrangements with tenants and take over management (and government payments) associated with their land. This work is a followup to Briefing Paper 01-9, Representative Farm Analysis of the H.R. 2646 Farm Bill Proposal that analyzes the impacts of H.R. 2646 on the representative crop farms maintained by the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC).Agribusiness, Agricultural and Food Policy, Land Economics/Use,
