520 8 This anthology assembles primary documents chronicling the
development of the phonograph, talking pictures, 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 they were
thoroughly integrated into Americans' everyday lives.
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
published in 1945, 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.
