Description

Explore the history of British broadcasting and musical influence with The BBC & Ultra-Modern Music: Shaping a Nation's Tastes. Published by Cambridge University Press, this volume is part of the Music in the Twentieth Century series. It provides a detailed examination of how the BBC worked to raise cultural awareness among mass audiences during the early years of radio. This study focuses on the specific policies and plans used to transmit music by composers from the Arnold Schoenberg circle. The research covers the period from the founding of the BBC in 1922 through to the spring of 1936, marking the resignation of Edward Clark, a former Schoenberg pupil and a central figure in BBC music. Readers will find a deep analysis of how the BBC attempted to manage both critical and public responses to this specific musical repertory. This book serves as a significant resource for those studying the history of classical music, the evolution of radio broadcasting, and the social impact of modernism in the twentieth century.
