Reference excerpt

The Schweizerische Volksliedarchiv is an institution established at the University of Basel. It was founded in 1906 as a department of the Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkskunde. Under the direction of John Meier, associations and the press were called upon to send in the song collection known in Switzerland so that it could be scientifically and critically reviewed and published in a suitable manner. The appeal was sent to all parts of Switzerland. As a result of this first call, a collection of 31,000 German-language songs, 3,200 songs from Romandy, 1,400 from Ticino and 1,200 Rhaeto-Romanic has been secured. The collection was subsequently expanded through bequests. For example, the holdings of Hanns In der Gand, the folk song collection of Arthur Rossat or the estate of Armin Breu with around 400 records and tapes with historical field recordings were added to the archive.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv

In research: Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1906 establishments in Switzerland, Music archives, Music organisations based in Switzerland, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Schweizerisches Volksliedarchiv outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
