Sommario/riassunto

We perceive silence in music essentially when its time seems to stand still: for example, immediately before the beginning of a work. Silence dwells there outside the sounding music; John Cage forced it into a work in 1952. Inaudible because continuously silent, 4'33'' blurs the



boundaries of the work and at the same time embodies the principle of the silent fermata: an infinitely large period of time. The ancient Greek theory of time and music predicted its condition of possibility as the place of the world soul: an eternally recurring zero point of time. Erwin Schulhoff's eye music In futurum (1919) declined it with pause signs. And as early as 1607, Claudio Monteverdi's prologue to Orfeo transformed the silent standstill into an imperative of stillness. In Franz Schubert's and Robert Schumann's music, two other places of silence can be recognized: in silence as a tonal goal, which is sought in vain in Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-flat Major (1828), and in the tone of zero volume, which, as an infinitely distant sound, transcends the geometric system of notation.

Stille in der Musik nehmen wir im Wesentlichen dann wahr, wenn ihre Zeit stehenzubleiben scheint: etwa unmittelbar vor dem Beginn eines Werkes. Stille weilt dort außerhalb der erklingenden Musik, John Cage drängte sie 1952 in ein Werk hinein. Nicht hörbar, weil durchgehend schweigend, verwischt 4’33’’ die Werkgrenzen und verkörpert zugleich das Prinzip der stillen Fermate: ein unendlich großer Zeitraum. Dessen Möglichkeitsbedingung zeichnete die antike griechische Zeit- und Musiktheorie als Ort der Weltseele vor: ein ewig wiederkehrender Nullpunkt der Zeit. Erwin Schulhoffs Augenmusik In futurum (1919) deklinierte ihn mit Pausenzeichen aus. Und bereits 1607 überführte Claudio Monteverdis Prolog des Orfeo den schweigenden Stillstand in ein Gebot des Stillseins. In Franz Schuberts und Robert Schumanns Musik lassen sich noch zwei andere Orte der Stille erkennen: in der Ruhe als tonales Ziel, das in Schuberts Klaviersonate B-Dur (1828) vergebens gesucht wird, und im Ton der Lautstärke Null, der als unendlich entfernter Klang das geometrische Notationssystem übersteigt.

Sommario/riassunto

Spanning eight decades from the beginnings of commercial radio to the current era of international consolidation and emerging digital platforms, this pioneering volume illuminates the entire course of American broadcasting by offering the first comprehensive history of a major network. Bringing together wide-ranging original articles by leading scholars and industry insiders, it offers a comprehensive view of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) that brings into focus the development of this key American institution and the ways that it has intersected with, and influenced, the central events of our times. Programs, policy, industry practices and personnel, politics, audiences, marketing, and global influence all come into play. The story the book tells is not just about broadcasting but about a nation's attempt to construct itself as a culture-with all the underlying concerns, divisions, opportunities, and pleasures. Based on unprecedented research in the extensive NBC archives, NBC: America's Network includes a timeline of NBC's and broadcasting's development, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars as well as for anyone interested the history of media in the United States.
