Cellulose is a good isolator and is also polar, having a dielectric constant Electric banjo a solid body banjos, one such being the 'Crossfire' (manufactured by Deering), which has two powerful magnetic pickups under the drumhead. A metal footed bridge ensures that pickups draw sound from both the strings and the head Electric bass guitar see 'bass guitar' Electric bass kalimba also called 'eKalimba', the catamaran-style electric bass kalimba has ten keys. It spans 2 octaves in a modified pentatonic setup. It has large clear plastic overtone dampers which allow the bass tones to predominate and cuts down on any unwanted sustain. It also has an inset angle bridge. The top is cherry wood and the back is quarter-sawn fir. Acoustically this eKalimba is just about inaudible but plugged into a good system one hears the keys evenly Electric Bass Kalimba Electric blues a type of blues music distinguished simply by the amplification of the guitar, or, more rarely, the bass or harmonica. Electric blues can be any other kind as well, most commonly Chicago, Texas or Memphis blues Electric blues from which this extract has been taken Electric boogaloo see 'popping' Electric folk see 'British folk-rock' Electric guitar a guitar that uses pickups to convert the vibration of its steel-cored strings (sometimes nickel) into an electrical current, which is made louder with an instrument amplifier and a speaker. The signal that comes from the guitar is sometimes electronically altered with guitar effects such as reverb or distortion. While most electric guitars have six strings, seven-string instruments are used by some jazz guitarists and metal guitarists (especially in nu metal), and 12-string electric guitars (with six pairs of strings, four of which are tuned in octaves) are used in genres such as jangle pop and rock Electric guitar from which this extract has been taken Électricien (French m.) electrician Electricista (Spanish m./f.) electrician Électricité (French f.) electricity Electric key action in an 'electric key action', a wire, an electrical circuit and an electro magnet cause the valve below each organ pipe to open and close. When you press the key, you close an electrical contact. Electricity flows to the circuit which causes an electro-magnet to open and close the valves under each pipe Electric piano or 'e-piano', an electric musical instrument whose popularity was at its greatest during the 1960s and 1970s. Many models were designed to replace a (heavy) piano on stage, while others were originally conceived for use in school or college piano labs for the simultaneous tuition of several students using headphones. Unlike a synthesizer or an electronic piano, the electric piano is not an electronic instrument, but electro-mechanical. Electric pianos produce sounds mechanically and the sounds are turned into electronic signals by pickups. In other words, an electric piano is to an acoustic piano as an electric guitar is to an acoustic guitar any electrical-operated piano, as opposed to one operated by a hand-crank, etc. see 'Nickelodeon' Electric piano Electric Slide a four wall line dance Electric Slide Electric violoncello a solid-body four-string instrument tuned to the same notes as an acoustic cello but relying on pickups and an external amplification to produce tonal volume Electric violoncello Electric mandoline see 'mandolin, mandoline' électrifier (French) to electrify électrique (French) electric, electrical Electro see 'electro music' Electro acoustic as applied to guitars, an acoustic instrument with a built in, often piezo electric, pickup Electroacoustic music the terms 'Electroacoustic' or 'Electroacoustic music' have been used to describe several different musical genres or musical techniques. While generally seen as a branch of electronic music, the definition and characteristics of electroacoustic music have been subject to much debate see 'electronic music' Electroacoustic from which the first entry has been taken Électro-acoustique (French f.) electroacoustics Electrochord invented by Peter Eötvos, an amplified Hungarian zither, with fifteen strings, that is linked to a sythesizer Electrochromism the phenomenon displayed by some materials of reversibly changing color when a burst of charge is applied Electroclash a term that describes a style of fashion, music, and attitude that fuses new wave, punk, & electronic dance music with somewhat campy and absurdist post-industrial detachment - alongside vampy and/or campy sexuality Electroclash from which this extract has been taken Electrocochleography abbreviated ECochG or ECoG, a test that measures the electrical potentials generated in the inner ear in response to stimulation by sound. Electrocochleography may be done, for example, to confirm the diagnosis of Meniere disease électrocuter (French) to electrocute Electrodynamics or classical electrodynamics, a branch of theoretical physics that studies consequences of the electromagnetic forces between electric charges and currents Electro funk see 'electro music' Electrography a form of electroplating in which wood engravings can be cast in metal for use in xylography. A paper or plaster cast is made of the wood block, which is then coated with a very thin layer of lead. By placing the coated cast into a solution containing iron, and creating an electric circuit between them, the iron molecules slowly deposit themselves onto the lead until it has formed a sturdy duplicate of the original image. While wood blocks could only be used on flatbed presses since they could not be bent, this metal replica could be made strong yet thin enough to be stereotyped onto rotary presses Electro hop a form of dance music mixed with hip hop which arose in Southern California in the early 1980s. While hardcore hip hop dominated the East Coast, electro hop was the dominant form of West Coast hip hop during the early part of the decade Electro hop from which this extract has been taken Electro jazz see 'nu-jazz' Electrolarynx a mechanical larynx, a medical device used to produce clearer speech by those who have lost their original voicebox Electromagnetic radiation light we see is one kind of electromagnetic radiation - it has a special range of wavelengths that our eyes can respond to. Radio waves, too, are a form of electromagnetic radiation. In general, electromagnetic radiation is radiation that travels through vacuous space at the speed of light and propagates by the interplay of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. This radiation has a wavelength and a frequency and transports energy Electromagnetic spectrum the entire range of all the various kinds or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, including (from short to long wavelengths) gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, optical (visible), infrared, and radio waves Électroménager (French m.) household appliances Electro music also known as 'electro', 'robot hip hop' and 'electro funk', an electronic style of hip hop directly influenced by Kraftwerk and funk records (unlike earlier rap records which were closer to disco) Electro from which this extract has been taken Electromyograph an instrument used in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders that produces an audio or visual record of the electrical activity of skeletal muscles Électron (French m.) electron electron. abbreviation of 'electronic' Electronic a term applied to instruments whose sound is generated electronically, for example, a synthesizer Contemporary Electro - mp3s Electrónica (Spanish f.) electronics Electronica electronic music (as a pop genre) that does not fall into the new age, techno or dance categories are often referred to as 'left-field' or 'electronica' (although there are critics who maintain that the term 'electronica' is an invention of the media). Styles of 'electronica' include 'ambient', 'downtempo', 'illbient' and 'trip-hop' (among countless others), which are all related in that they usually rely more on their atmospheric qualities than electronic dance music, and make use of slower, more subtle tempos, sometimes excluding rhythm completely Music Genre from which this information has been taken Electronic Art Center see 'EAC' Electronic art music electronic music has existed, in various forms, for more than a century. Between the time that recording sounds was first made possible and the computer technology of today, a vast amount of change has occurred. Technology has been developed for creating sounds, for recording sounds, composing, and for altering sounds. Some technology involved electronics, but some important conceptual changes that did not depend on electronics still had a profound impact on the advent of electronic music Electronic art music from which this extract has been taken Electronic bagpipe invented before digital sound processing, the 'electronic bagpipe' is the creation of Michael O'Neill. The instrument is fingered like a mandolin and sounds like a bagpipe. It is particularly good at imitating bagpipe ornamentation and does a good job rendering tunes that are idiomatic to that instrument Electronic Bagpipe from which this extract has been taken Electronic body music or 'EBM', a musical genre combining elements of industrial music and electronic dance music Electronic body music from which this extract has been taken Electronic instruments systems that play in real time include electronic instruments, synthesizers, gestural controllers, and performance interfaces electronic instruments generally fall into one of four groups: original inventions theremin, ondes Martenot, etc. acoustic instruments that have been altered by adding electronic elements electric guitar, electronic organ, etc. acoustic instruments that have been coupled to electronic equipment electronic violin, etc. non-musical objects linked to electronic equipment Trimpen's Floating Klompen (in which a bunch of clogs were set afloat on a pond, clicking in response to a sequencer or interactive human controlling wooden shoes), etc. Electronic Musical Instruments 1870-1990 Innovative Instruments of the Twentieth Century Electronic luk thung a dance-ready form of Thai pleng luk thung Electronic music formerly called 'electroacoustic music', music that is pre-recorded (usually onto tape) or that has been written for original inventions like the theremin and the ondes Martenot and now that written for synthesizers that have taken musicians into sound worlds that are completely new and original Karlheinz Stockhausen believes that: "In electronic music, generators, tape recorders and loudspeakers should yield what no instrumentalist has ever been capable of. In instrumental music, on the other hand the player, aided by the instrument and the notation, should produce what no electronic music could ever yield, imitate or reproduce" Listen without prejudice Electronic music Electronic music (as a pop genre) there are now many subgenres of electronic music which include: techno mechanical sounding dance music featuring little melody and more noise trance music with a distinct style of instrumentation focused on complex, uplifting chord progressions and melodies Goa trance spawning from industrial music and tribal dance, focusing on creating psychedelic sound effects within the songs house music fully electronic disco music big beat using older drum loops and more melodic elements sampled and looped drum and bass an offshoot of hardcore and Jamaican dancehall, utilizing quick tempos with sampled break beats, most notably the amen break and the funky drummer gabber or gabba a Dutch development on techno, which features extremely high tempos and lots of overdrive and distortion on the music, especially the base drum being distorted into a square wave tone happy hardcore a slightly more palatable version of Gabba, fusing elements of drum and bass as well of these subgenres, trance and house are probably the most widespread Music Genre from which this information has been taken Electronic musician a musician who composes or plays music from synthetic sounds generated with synthesizers, samplers, drum machines or music sequencers. A large portion of today's electronic music is based on samples, which are sampled (digitized) from original instruments or other audio sources. These samples are then edited, transformed and sequenced again to create new musical compositions Electronic musician from which this extract has been taken electrónico (Spanish) electronic Electronic organ an organ that relies not on pipes but on the generation of sound by electronic devices Electronic paper also called e-paper, a display technology designed to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. Unlike a conventional flat panel display, which uses a backlight to illuminate its pixels, electronic paper reflects light like ordinary paper and is capable of holding text and images indefinitely without drawing electricity, while allowing the image to be changed later Electronic sackbut an instrument devised by Hugh Le Caine in 1947 Electronic Sackbut Electronic separation an electronically scanned image stored as digital information, which is then easily separated into colours by using a computer Électronique (French f.) electronics électronique (French) electronic Électronique musicale (French f.) electronics related to music Electronium developed by Raymond Scott in 1959, the 'Electronium' was a large-scale composing machine Electronium from which this extract has been taken Electrophone generic term used for two classes of electronic instrument, namely, instruments that generate their sound electronically, and acoustic instruments that have their sounds amplified and modified electronically a telephone-distributed audio system which operated in the United Kingdom between 1895 and 1926, relaying live theatre and music hall shows and, on Sundays, live sermons from churches via special headsets connected to conventional phone lines. This was similar to the French Theatrophone system and the Hungarian Telefon Hírmondó which carried news, entertainment and fiction readings. These systems can be seen as important forerunners of radio broadcasting (French) record player Électrophone (French m.) electrophone Electrophotography or xerography, a dry photocopying technique invented by Chester Carlson in 1938, in which the photocopy printing process uses static electricity to transfer images from one surface to another Electro-pneumatic action a control system for pipe organs, whereby air pressure, controlled by an electric current and operated by the keys of an organ console, opens and closes valves within wind chests, allowing the pipes to speak. This system also allows the console to be physically detached from the organ itself. The only connection was via an electrical cable from the console to the relay, with some early organ consoles utilizing a separate wind supply to operate combination pistons Electro-pneumatic action from which this extract has been taken Electropop also called 'Technopop', a subgenre of synth pop music which flourished during the early 1980s, although the first recordings were made in the late 1970s. Numerous bands have carried on the electropop tradition into the 1990s and 2000s. Electropop is often characterised by a cold, robotic, electronic sound, which is largely due to the limitations of the analog synthesizers used to make the music Electropop from which this extract has been taken Electrostatic printing or 'electron photography', a plateless printing method invented by Chester F. Carlson in 1938, in which a copy of an original can be made by creating a temporary printing surface through electrostatic means. When an electrically charged selenium coated cylinder (drum) is illuminated with small beams of light reflecting off an image's surface, the cylinder loses its electrical charge in those specific areas. After a powdered toner is applied, it only sticks to the non-charged parts of the cylinder. Paper is then pressed against the cylinder transferring the toner to its surface to which it is then bonded with heat. Powders utilising the four colours of the CYMK-process are used to make colour copies. This technology is widely used in copy machines and laser printers Electro-tango a blend of tango and electronic music Electro-theremin see 'Tannerin' Elefant (s.), Elefanten (pl.)

In addition, an elegy (sometimes spelled elegíe) may be a type of musical work, usually in a sad and somber attitude. It should not be confused with a eulogy Elegy from which part of this entry has been taken Elekt (German m.) bishop elect Elektion (German f.) election elektiv (German) elective Elektra (German) Electra Elektra chord a "bitonal synthesis of E major and C-sharp major" which may be regarded as a polychord related to conventional chords with added thirds, in this case an eleventh chord Elektra chord from which this information and image have been taken Elektrakomplex (German m.)

In music he held that the notes of the scale are to be judged, not as the Pythagoreans held, by mathematical ratio, but by the ear. The only works of his that have come down to us are the three books of the Elementa Harmonica, an incomplete musical treatise in his Encyclopedia of Tuning, Joe Monzo writes, "When [Aristoxenus'] work was rediscovered by the Italians in around 1450, the idea of 12-tone equal-temperament (the ordinary scale in everyday use today) was a topic of much debate, and many theorists who advocated that tuning interpreted Aristoxenus's approximations of small intervals as a justification for it.

Poel decided very early on to go on the stage. After working for a time as an actor, stage manager, theatre manager, he founded the Elizabethan Stage Society (1894-1905), which by holding performances free of scenery and modern staging approximated the theatrical conditions under which Shakespeare wrote. He spent much of his career researching and lecturing on Elizabethan performance and influenced many theatre practitioners, most of all Harley Granville Barker. His presentations included Shakespeare's Measure for Measure (1893) and Two Gentlemen of Verona (1910), plays by Marlowe and Ben Jonson and Milton's Samson Agonistes (1900). Many of these performances employed Arnold Dolmetsch (1858-1940) to provide contemporaneous music (Lawes, Purcell, and instruments contemporaneous to the period of the drama.

The female die is sometimes heated to help recast the paper around the male die. Because it was more difficult to align paper over an irregular die, pins were often used for precise registration but they left small holes behind in the image. Paper can be embossed for affect without the need for ink and registration. Embossing was used on novelty postcards and greeting cards.

He suggests that there are two perspectives that can be employed in the study of a society's cultural system, just as there are two perspectives that can be used in the study of a language's sound system. In both cases, it is possible to take the point of view of an insider ('emic') or the point of view of an outsider ('etic'). As Pike defines it, the emic perspective focuses on the intrinsic cultural distinctions that are meaningful to the members of a given society while the etic perspective relies upon the extrinsic concepts and categories that have meaning for scientific observers Emic/Etic Distinctions from which this extract has been taken Emiciclo (Italian m.) hemicycle Emicrania (Italian f.) headache, hemicrania (medical term) Emigrant (m.), Emigrantin (f.)

The volkstumliche Lied, Singspiel and the mid- to late-eighteenth century aesthetic movement Sturm und Drang all rooted in Empfindsamkeit In his Allgemeine Theorie der schönen Künste und der Ästhetik (1771-1774), Johann Georg Sulzer (1720-1779) argues that sensibility has both a psychological and a moral dimension: an emotion is a psychological experience, which can subsequently lead to a moral knowledge of good and evil. "Since the real job of the artist is to depict the emotions [Empfindungen] and that which stirs them as lively as possible, and both can have an important influence on the education of the soul, therefore it is natural that he should aim at stirring them. [...]. The artist, therefore, who takes his profession seriously and feels his powers, should consecrate himself to being the teacher and guide for his fellow citizens." 'Ihr Augen weint!'
