Analysis of the Constructive Functions of Notated and Acoustic Silences in Béla Bartók’s Fifth String Quartet, First Movement, Allegro Bohdan Syroyid University of Leuven, Belgium; bohdan.syroyid@kuleuven.be Background Most analyses of Bartók’s Fifth String Quartet concentrate primarily on the thematic and harmonic relationships of various themes that are part of a palindromic sonata form (see Bates, 1986; Klefstad, 2000). However, this piece has a striking and characteristic silence usage that is worthy of a deeper examination. For this, both score and audio recordings will be examined revisiting some of the silence theories of Braman (1956), Dougherty (1979), Gaudibert (1995), Margulis (2007) and Yin Lo (2015). Aims The main goal is to explore the underlying musical processes that surround notated and acoustic silences in the first movement of Bartok’s Fifth String Quartet. Notated silences are limited to rests that appear simultaneously in all four parts. Acoustic silences are examined through the visualization of the waveform of two recordings and the identification of regions with low amplitude. Main Contribution The dramatic opening silences of Bartók’s Fifth String Quartet present an intermittent monophonic texture, developed in a contrapuntal manner in the first theme. These four bars are viewed by Klefstad (2000) as a framework theme that reappears eight times in the movement (accounting for 66 out of 80 notated silences). The repetition of this theme suggests a retrodictive silence situation. In these framing themes, silence is in motion and it actively contributes to various forms of rhythmic manipulations, namely: symmetry (non-retrogradable rhythms), transformation, inversion, fragmentation, and expansion. In contrast, 11 notated silences appear in the development and the coda and seem to be associated with the disintegration of theme C. In addition, only 3 notated silences stand alone and perform a normative structural function, delineating sectional edges and releasing the accumulated tension. A similar function can be found in the silences situated at the outer edges of the framing themes. The comparative analysis shows a strong correlation between acoustic and notated silences. However, the softer passages of both themes C are only manifested as acoustic and dynamic silences. Implications This study reveals that Bartók’s silence usage has dynamic, rhythmic and structural implications. Currently, there are scarce analytical studies based on musical silence, and none were found on Bartók. It is hoped to progressively reverse this trend shedding some more light on the importance of musical silence as a constructive element of music. References Bates, K. A. (1986).

It is my pleasure to welcome all active and passiveparticipants at all four hubs and elsewhere to this pioneering, semi-virtual, multi-hub, global conference. We are part of a long and successful tradition of ICMPCs, beginning in 1989, every two years since 1992; also the ESCOM conference, every three years since 1994. The combined ICMPC/ESCOM has happened every six years since 1994. Ours is the first conference in our field to happen on different continents simultaneously with a 24-hour program. The organizing committees at all hubs hope that conferences of this kind will become the norm, allowing us to achieve several goals simultaneously: increase global participation, lower financial barriers, increase cultural diversity, improve validity of research content, and work toward a better future for our discipline and for humanity by reducing emissions. In these ways, we can overcome historical and future injustices, and inspire colleagues in other disciplines. Cultural diversity has been an ICMPC hallmark from the start. The first conference was in Japan rather than North America or Europe, encouraging equal participation by participants from three continents. This conference adds a fourth: South America. In future, I hope that Asian and African hubs can be added. ICMPC is also about disciplinary diversity: although we focus on sciences (psychology, neuroscience, computer science), we also promote interactions with humanities (history, ethnomusicology, music theory) and practically oriented disciplines (performance, composition, therapy, medicine, education). On behalf of the ESCOM executive council and the conference organizing committees at all hubs: Enjoy the conference, learn new things, make new contacts, and have a great time, wherever you are. If you need help of any kind, don’t hesitate to ask a member of your local organizing committee or student support team. Richard Parncutt University of Graz, Austria Conference chair, ICMPC15/ESCOM10 ESCOM President ICMPC15/ESCOM10, 23-28 July 2018, Graz, La Plata, Montreal, Sydney 8 Welcome from the ICMPC15/ESCOM10 co-organizer Welcome to the 15th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition and the 10th triennial conference of the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music in Graz, La Plata, Montreal, and Sydney! We are honoured to welcome 787 participants from 54 different countries from all around the globe from Island to South Africa, from Chile to Taiwan, and all countries in between. The impressive number of paper and poster sessions covers a wide range of subjects from movement, flow, and expression to health, violence, and beyond. This is complemented by workshops and demonstrations that offer practical applications and show upcoming trends. The symposia focus on diverse topics from visual imagery to hearing impairment. Another highlight are the keynotes from four different hubs, entitled “Riddles of time: Rhythm and temporal structure in language and music” by Simone Falk, “Moved by music: The role of empathy and social cognition in music-induced emotions” by Jonna Vuoskoski, “The neuroscience of musical entrainment: insights from EEG frequency-tagging” by Sylvie Nozaradan, and “Variability, complexity and gender in musical cultures: Insights from experiments with epistemological waste” presented by Luiz Naveda. For the first time a new platform for networking is introduced. Please take advantage of the possibility to connect with researchers around the globe. This way, you can continue the experience of the conference even when you are back home, watch the talks you have missed during the conference and discuss with other researchers through the platform. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the hub organizers and their teams and all the student assistants and volunteers for their extraordinary work, especially the student assistants Nils Meyer-Kahlen, Katharina Pollack, Magdalena Ramsey, Theresa Schallmoser, and Sandra Tanzmeister. I would also like to thank the reviewers of abstract submissions for their helpful suggestions and evaluations. And I especially want to thank you – for taking part in this exciting new experience! Sabrina Sattmann University of Graz, Austria Co-organizer, ICMPC15/ESCOM10 ICMPC15/ESCOM10, 23-28 July 2018, Graz, La Plata, Montreal, Sydney 9 Welcome from the ICMPC Executive Committee I would like to warmly welcome all participants to the 15th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition. I would also like to acknowledge members of the Executive Committee of the ICMPC, with special thanks to former Chair Steve Demorest. The committee worked intensively with Richard and the local ESCOM committee over a period of many months to refine, finalise and support this innovative multi-hub model. Thanks to Richard’s vision, this novel conference structure is certain to raise awareness of climate change and our individual responsibility for the future of the planet. Australian researchers are making significant contributions to the field of music perception and cognition, yet the travel required to attend conferences held on other continents is both expensive and physically demanding, especially for students and early career researchers. We are delighted that some of our most promising young researchers in the field now have the ability to present their work at the local Australian hub of the ICMPC, and we look forward to productive interactions with researchers from around the world. William Forde Thompson Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia President of the Australian Music Psychology Society Chair of the ICMPC Executive Committee ICMPC15/ESCOM10, 23-28 July 2018, Graz, La Plata, Montreal, Sydney 10 Welcome from the La Plata Hub On behalf of the organizing committee of La Plata Hub, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to this exciting global conference. We are extremely happy to be part of the event, and thank Richard Parncutt and his terrific team for inviting us to join with Sydney, Montreal and Graz in such an innovative project. We are also grateful to La Plata University for its full support. We have been working hard discussing ideas, schedules, technical details, and socio-cultural topics as diverse as the diversity of our own academic and sociocultural environments. This is precisely the strength of this project, what makes the joint organization of ICMPC15/ESCOM10 so exciting. We welcome international researchers from all over the world, in particular our Latin American partners from Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, who chose La Plata as the venue to present their research. During the live and virtual sessions of the conference, including the “global foyer”, we will learn about many contrasting research projects and meet many international colleagues. For some of our young researchers, this is the first time that they will be able to take part in an international event, thanks to the innovative concept of streaming communications between hubs. We welcome the keynote presenter for the La Plata Hub, Dr. Luiz Naveda from the State University of Mina Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, who will present his research on dance, music, gender, and culture. I thank my co-organizers Joaquin Blas Perez and Alejandro Pereira Ghiena, my colleague Favio Shifres for his wise advice, and the members of the organizing committee Matías Tanco, María Marchiano, Sebastián Castro (our genious technician), Mónica Valles, Demián Alimenti Bel, Camila Beltramone, Juan Pissinis, Mariano Guzmán, and Sofía Uzal for the happy time we shared in our lab preparing this conference. You can contact any of us during the week of the event to ask for help of any kind. Enjoy the conference!

I echo the welcomes from the other hubs, and thank them all for their support of the project, and above all the herculean effort of the Graz team, led by Nils Meyer-Kahlen, Sabrina Sattmann, and the visionary, project-brain-parent Richard Parncutt. In addition to a fascinating local and international program, we are thrilled to welcome the keynote presenter for the Sydney Hub, Dr. Sylvie Nozaradan from Western Sydney University who is sharing her latest, innovative research on the brain and synchronization. With pleasure we welcome participants from around Australia, countries that are part of the Asia-Pacific Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (APSCOM) and beyond. We also have opportunity for spontaneous contact with the hundreds of other delegates through our ‘global foyer’, an idea developed at the Global Arts and Psychology Seminar in 2017, where during the world synchronized coffee breaks, you will be able to ‘digitally bump into’ someone at another hub and start up or continue a conversation. The Sydney hub has been blessed with volunteers, staff and a local committee who are committed to making the new-format conference work. We also thank the UNSW Arts and Social Science Faculty (A&SS) and School of the Arts and Media (SAM);; the Graz hub; ESCOM; and the Australian Music Psychology Society (AMPS): UNSW International, Marketing and Communications; Technical Resources Centre, A&SS; Creative Practice Lab in SAM; and UNSW Hospitality. Over 18 months of preparation and investment; but still no doubt a few thrills and spills to come, and in that spirit, the Sydney hub organizing committee looks forward to working with you all to make this a memorable conference, and warmly welcomes all delegates around the world.
