ONE reason why radio audiences for classical music are not larger appears to be that some people are frightened away by technical musical terminology, or have the impression that classical music is only for the better educated. It was found in an experiment conducted in Denmark that almost twice as many people listened to a program of fine music when it was labeled “popular” as did when it was labeled “classical”. This article could, in fact, be considered a brief note on “snobism in reverse.” The author is Professor of Sociology at the University of Aarhus, Denmark
