Abstract
In the previous chapter small oscillations of a gravitating plasma layer have been studied in detail. The technique developed for this purpose can mutatis mutandis be used in order to describe oscillations for a plasma pinch. Being more or less formal it needs only minor alterations. The investigation of pinch oscillations is interesting in itself, and it helps us to understand some peculiarities of the spectra of large aspect ratio axisymmetric configurations.
