Many of the featured theses are also available in the “free download” formats, and where such an access is possible, special links are provided. Those can be considered a degree related performance recitals, and thus are not the works suitable for this category. All of these formats are – and will be included, with the exception of sole “Performance Theses” when they come without a written content. In addition, this listing also reflects a modern trend in the academe, where the term “thesis” does any longer imply only a traditional scholarly research book format, but encompasses the compositions, performances or any combination of audio-visual and/or printed work for a particular degree. However, the goal is to eventually incorporate all the entries from the national databases as well. The foundation of this listing is the WorldCat – the world’s biggest online database. The primary purpose of this catalog thus is to be a comprehensive research tool for scholars, educators, professionals and students who wish to explore the current state of knowledge in the ever-widening field of bass expertise. Thus beside the traditional dissertations on the classical bass performance and pedagogy, you may also note a variety of other works that feature topics such as organology, acoustics, jazz, national / folk music, and the electric bass. Featured are all the historic and contemporary forms of theses that are extant. “Dissertations & Theses” page is created to serve as a reference source for all academic works in the field of bass scholarship, ranging from the level of High School project theses to the comprehensive Doctoral Dissertation works.
