This book, first published in 2000, examines the BBC's campaign to
raise cultural awareness of British mass audiences in the early
days of radio. As a specific case, it focuses on policies and plans
behind transmissions of music by composers associated with Arnold
Schoenberg's circle between 1922, when the BBC was founded, and
spring 1936, when Edward Clark, a former Schoenberg pupil and
central figure in BBC music, resigned from the Corporation. This
study traces and analyses the BBC's attempts to manipulate critical
and public responses to this repertory. The book investigates three
interrelated aspects of early BBC history. Policy decisions
relating to contemporary music transmissions are examined to
determine why precious broadcast time was devoted to this
repertory. Early personnel structures are reconstructed to
investigate the responsibilities, attitudes and interests of those
who influenced music broadcasting. Finally, broadcasts of Second
Viennese School works are examined in detail.
