This unique anthology assembles primary documents chronicling the
development of the phonograph, film sound, and the radio. These
three sound technologies shaped Americans' relation to music from
the late nineteenth century until the end of the Second World War,
by which time the technologies were thoroughly integrated into
everyday life. There are more than 120 selections between the
collection's first piece, an article on the phonograph written by
Thomas Edison in 1878, and its last, a column advising listeners
"desirous of gaining more from music as presented by the radio."
Among the selections are articles from popular and trade
publications, advertisements, fan letters, corporate records,
fiction, and sheet music. Taken together, the selections capture
how the new sound technologies were shaped by developments such as
urbanization, the increasing value placed on leisure time, and the
rise of the advertising industry. Most importantly, they depict the
ways that the new sound technologies were received by real people
in particular places and moments in time.
