RECORDED MUSIC
Big Library In Berlin Opened
Germany’s first comprehensive library of recorded music, the Institute for Musicology, was opened recently in Berlin. It will be a source of discs and tape recordings of music of all types from everywhere in the world. The institute is intended primarily for students of music, who have long felt the need of such a central source, and it will provide facilities for study by scholars and musicologists from abroad. The collection will include serious music, folk music, jazz of various periods and styles and a few specimens of light music characteristic of various periods. The institute was begun with about 10,000 recordings dating back to 1900 and there is space for ,80.000 discs. With four other such libraries in Europe ani | America, it is hoped that the ! exchange of material on tape will increase the number of recordings considerably.
