David Suisman is Associate Professor of History at the University of Delaware.
From Tin Pan Alley to grand opera, player-pianos to phonograph records, David Suisman’s Selling Sounds explores the rise of music as big business and the creation of a radically new musical culture. Around the turn of the twentieth century, music entrepreneurs laid the foundation for today’s vast industry, with new products, technologies, and commercial strategies to incorporate music into the daily rhythm of modern life. Popular songs filled the air with a new kind of musical pleasure, phonographs brought opera into the parlor, and celebrity performers like Enrico Caruso captivated the imagination of consumers from coast to coast.
Selling Sounds uncovers the origins of the culture industry in music and chronicles how music ignited an auditory explosion that penetrated all aspects of society. It maps the growth of the music business across the social landscape―in homes, theaters, department stores, schools―and analyzes the effect of this development on everything from copyright law to the sensory environment. While music came to resemble other consumer goods, its distinct properties as sound ensured that its commercial growth and social impact would remain unique.
Today, the music that surrounds us―from iPods to ring tones to Muzak―accompanies us everywhere from airports to grocery stores. The roots of this modern culture lie in the business of popular song, player-pianos, and phonographs of a century ago. Provocative, original, and lucidly written, Selling Sounds reveals the commercial architecture of America’s musical life.

評分 評分商業與藝術聯姻,喜憂參半。這不難理解:藝術傢也要生活,商業的保障是藝術的助推,盡管時有對市場的迎閤。大衛·伊斯曼在《販賣音樂:美國音樂的商業進化》一書中迴顧瞭十九世紀以降,商業參與的音樂史,直言:“在音樂産業的行話裏,'創作'的意思並非是寫歌,而是使歌麯走紅...
