Resumo

No presente artigo pretendo discutir o tema da formação do gosto musical nos livros “Como ouvir e entender a música”, de Aaron Copland (1939), “L’initiation a La musique: a l’usage des amateurs de musique et de radio”, de Maurice Emmanuel (org., 1935), e “Como entender e apreciar música: guia para ouvintes de rádio e concertos”, de Harry Allen Feldman (1945). Esses trabalhos guardam em comum o interesse sobre a perspectiva do ouvinte de rádio e disco no período em que essas tecnologias passavam a ocupar lugar de destaque na emergente sociedade de massas.

Broadcasting and formation of musical taste in the works of Copland, Emmanuel and Feldman: initiations to hear and understand

In this article I purpose to discuss about the formation of musical preferences in the books "What to listen for in music", by Aaron Copland (1939), "La musique L'initiation: a l'usage des amateurs de musique et radio" by Maurice Emmanuel (1935), and "The Listener's Guide to music appreciation", by Harry Allen Feldman (1945). These works have in common the concern about the perspective of the radio and disc listener in the period that these technologies started to occupy a prominent place in the emerging mass society.
