Infrastructures of Musical Globalization, 1850–2000
The introduction to this forum highlights infrastructures as crucial, yet often overlooked, enablers of musical globalization from 1850 to 2000, facilitating the creation, transmission, and transformation of music across diverse contexts. By framing infrastructures as both material and relational constructs, we argue that they underpin connections between musical practices, genres, and institutions while also reflecting power dynamics and exclusi…

From statistics to development
When the International Statistical Institute (ISI) was founded in London in 1885, it assembled statisticians and demographers, as well as engineers and even entrepreneurs. Most of all, however, it brought together economists, which quickly made the ISI the most important international forum for the discipline. Based on intensive study of official ISI publications as well as the correspondence and writings of its members, the article first describ…
The Making of Music Venues
Music venues form nodal points around which to explore networks of people and the materialization of styles, trends, and ideas. Moreover, they work as condensers, bringing together the domain of aesthetic experience with social, political, and economic factors. Our special section takes these observations as a starting point to study these particular urban spaces, with a special focus on the first half of the long twentieth century. By highlighti…
Entertainment for Everyone
This article reconsiders the story of Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to the advent of country music in the early 1950s. Closely scrutinizing the management of Lula C. Naff and her professional network, it argues that the Ryman, thanks to its diversified programming, turned into a music venue for everyone in the course of the first half of the twentieth century, despite ongoing segregation, social c…
Musicking in Twentieth-Century Europe
Music has gained the increasing attention of historians. Research has branched out to explore music-related topics, including creative labor, economic histories of music production, the social and political uses of music, and musical globalization. This handbook both covers the history of music in Europe and probes its role for the making of Europe during a "long" twentieth century. It offers concise guidance to key historical trends as well as t…

Musicking in Twentieth-Century Europe
Grenzgänger
Conductors are usually perceived as artists and not entrepreneurs. But this representation is at odds with a social history perspective on musical life in Germany. In looking at their working worlds, this article sheds light on the role of conductors for the production of mass culture in the decades around 1900. I argue that conductors acted as border crossers in many ways: they switched between military and civic musical cultures, between public…
Wilhelm Furtwängler
What is true art, and what is fake art? This is the fundamental question that Wilhelm Furtwängler raised in many variations in his relatively broad literary oeuvre, which ranges from the ‘Timely Reflections of a Musician’ written in 1915 to his essay ‘All Greatness is Simplicity’, published shortly before his death in November 1954. Furtwängler’s writings are at the heart of Roger Allen’s new book, which is based on his 1999 dissertation at Oxfor…
Cultural Brokers and the Making of Glocal Soundscapes, 1880s to 1930s
In September 2014, the European Network in Universal and Global History hosted the Fourth European Congress on World and Global History at the École normale supérieure in Paris. Of themore than 150 panels dealing with all imaginable aspects of modern global connectivity, there was but one dedicated to the field of music, out of which this special issue grew. It is no exaggeration to state that global history has been a largely silent undertaking …
Cultural Brokers in Uniform
The article assesses the role of the military in the global dissemination and exchange of music in the long nineteenth century. It shows that, first, Western military music and its instrumentation were influenced by cross-cultural encounters, primarily with the Ottoman Empire. Second, I argue that educational professionalization and instrumental standardization were important vehicles for the global rise of the military band beyond its original p…

Entangled Industrialization. The EEC and Industrial Development in Francophone West Africa
Industrialization played a significant role as a development strategy in the global, post-colonial development-discourse during the ‘first development decade’ heralded by the United Nations in 1961. Whereas colonial powers such as France and Great Britain had remained rather reluctant with respect to state-led industrialization in their colonies, modernization theorists and development economists considered a planned and comprehensive industrial …
La République décolonisée
For roughly a decade, highly controversial arguments about colonial history and its relevance for contemporary France have marked public and scholarly debate on the "République (post)coloniale". The older master narrative arguing that the Empire's significance for metropolitan society was very limited has been challenged by scholars calling for a postcolonial turn in French historical writing. Against this backdrop, the article reassesses the imp…
