Koordination für die Hits von morgen. Charts und Repertoireentscheidungen in der amerikanischen Musikwirtschaft, 1890 – 1955
This article studies the function of popularity charts in the production and distribution of popular music in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Using archival sources of Irving Berlin’s music company to gain insight into how a leading songwriter and music publisher made repertoire decisions in the face of uncertain demand, the article argues that the charts did not reflect to music providers what the people would b…

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
Domäne der Schlagfertigen
This article explores commercial entertainment in Berlin as an “art world.” The first part provides an overview of the city’s entertainment ecology during the period, contrasting it with “mass culture,” which emerged around 1930. The second part focuses on artists and entrepreneurs, characterizing them as “jacks-of-all-trades” who faced the insecurities of their occupation by performing “success.” The third part describes how paid performers mobi…
All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go«
Based on an analysis of streets and entertainment venues, the article stresses the importance of post-war changes in the urban environment for the emergence of 1950s British youth culture. It explains how and why young people in Britian in this period developed conventions and modes of self-presentation such as "coolness" and overt enthusiasm as face-saving and socializing strategies, thus creating a distinct own social worldwhich was viewed and …
Popular Music in Germany, 1900–1930
This article discusses the thesis that popular music in early twentieth-century Germany was Americanised by shifting the focus from the meaning and reception of music to the way it was produced and disseminated by professionals, from music publishers and composers to bandleaders and critics. Firstly, it stresses a key difference in the way the music business was modernised on both sides of the Atlantic around 1900. While in the US the sheet-music…
The Production of Popular Culture in Twentieth-Century Western Europe
In a recent book on the Americanisation of Britain between the mid-1950s and the mid-1970s, historian Howard Le Roy Malchow takes up the familiar question of to what extent British popular culture
Vereinsgeselligkeit und soziale Integration von Arbeitern in Deutschland, 1860-1914
This article scrutinises the development of social clubs that recruited their members both from the working and the middle classes, inquiring as to how club membership influenced the social relations between the classes. It shows that due to state interference and dependence on patronage, the singers', shooters', gymnasts' and ex-servicemen's clubs strengthened social inequality rather than serving as a place for sociable exchange between the cla…
Leisure Clubs and the Decline of the Weimar Republic
In contrast to the common assumption that voluntary associations from male voice choirs to gymnastic clubs mediate political culture, this article stresses that leisure clubs were frequented first and foremost as places where sociability could unfold. This form of social exchange, which suspends differences of social status or political attitudes, is relevant for the development of the political system, as it can work as an antidote against a fun…
