Aimé Paris
Aimé Paris (1798–1866) was a French scholar. He was the developer of a method of stenography, and co-developer and propagator of what became the Galin-Paris-Chevé system of music notation. Paris studied mathematics and law, and became a lawyer. His techniques of memory were well known; at one point he was the "professeur de mnémonique" at the Athenée in Paris. Stenography In 1815, he learned the system of Samuel Taylor (1772–1834) adapted by Théodore-Pierre Bertin for French. In 1820, after inventing his own method of stenography, he abandoned his career as a lawyer and traveled across France, as well as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland, giving conferences and teaching his system. He published the books ''History of Stenography'' and ''Inventions of Aimé Paris''. His stenographic works were followed and completed by Louis Prosper Guénin. Music system advocacy He approached Pierre Galin when he moved to Paris, and asked to be his business-manager, so Galin cou ...

Stenography
Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of writing as compared to longhand, a more common method of writing a language. The process of writing in shorthand is called stenography, from the Greek ''stenos'' (narrow) and ''graphein'' (to write). It has also been called brachygraphy, from Greek ''brachys'' (short), and tachygraphy, from Greek ''tachys'' (swift, speedy), depending on whether compression or speed of writing is the goal. Many forms of shorthand exist. A typical shorthand system provides symbols or abbreviations for words and common phrases, which can allow someone well-trained in the system to write as quickly as people speak. Abbreviation methods are alphabet-based and use different abbreviating approaches. Many journalists use shorthand writing to quickly take notes at press conferences or other similar scenarios. In the computerized world, several autocomplete programs, standalone or integrated in text editors, based on w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Galin-Paris-Chevé System
The Galin-Paris-Chevé system is a method of reading music, based on the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, founded by Pierre Galin (1786-1821) and developed by Aimé Paris (1798-1866), his sister Nanine Paris (1800-1868), and her husband Émile-Joseph-Maurice Chevé (1804-1864). Origin According to the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the problem with music was that the notation was too complex for any neophyte to learn. Rousseau's System of musical notation tried to simplify and popularize theoretical musical practice. Rousseau's method started with a fundamental sound, ut (in other words, Do), which was expressed by the number 1; then the seven natural sounds of the tempered keyboard (ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si) by the seven numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. To express a change of octave, he used a dot placed above the note to signify the octave immediately above. The placement of this point also indicated that the notes which follow belong to this octave until the next ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Samuel Taylor (stenographer)
Samuel Taylor (1748/49 – 1811) was the British inventor of a widely used system of stenography. He began working on his own method of stenography in 1773, based on earlier efforts. In 1786, he published ''An Essay Intended to Establish a Standard for an Universal System of Stenography, or Short Hand Writing...'', the first shorthand system to be used all over the English-speaking world. His stenographic method consisted in cutting out the superfluous consonants as well as the vowels in polysyllabic words. It used an alphabet composed of 19 letters of simplified shapes. He taught stenography at Oxford as well as the universities of Scotland and Ireland for many years. His system was adopted for several other languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish.Melin, 175-176. His book was translated and published in France by Théodore-Pierre Bertin in 1792 under the title ''Système universel et complet de Stenographie ou Manière abrégée d'écrire applicable ...

Théodore-Pierre Bertin
Théodore-Pierre Bertin (2 November 1751 – 25 January 1819) was the author of fifty-odd works on various subjects, but is primarily remembered as the person responsible for adapting Samuel Taylor's shorthand to the French language and introducing modern shorthand to France. Born at Provins (Seine-et-Marne) to Louis Bertin, a parliamentary lawyer, and Louise Mitantier, Bertin taught English before travelling to London to work as a translator. He studied Taylor shorthand during his time in Britain and, on returning to Paris in 1791, translated into French Taylor's book ''An essay intended to establish a standard for a universal system of Stenography, or Short-hand writing'', publishing it in 1792 under the title ''Système universel et complet de Stenographie ou Manière abrégée d'écrire applicable à tous les idiomes'' (''A complete and universal system of stenography or an abbreviated manner of writing applicable to all languages''). In 1795, the French National Conven ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pierre Galin
Pierre Galin (1786–1822) was a French music educator, and developer of what became the Galin-Paris-Chevé system. Life and career Galin studied mathematics and commerce, and became a mathematics teacher in Bordeaux, at a school for children with speech and hearing difficulties. He studied music on his own, but had difficulty understanding his textbooks until he discovered the principles of movable do solfège. He advised separate study of pitch and rhythm, and devised a numbered musical notation similar to that of Rousseau, although he recommended students learn staff notation as well. After success teaching with his ideas in Bordeaux, he moved to Paris where he led a group of enthusiastic students, especially Aimé Paris. Paris ended up plagiarizing his ideas in print, and later claimed never to have known him. Galin became sick, though he continued teaching up to his death. He is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery.
