 Music for the Nation: About the Collection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The bound up piles of music on the floor are undoubtedly part of the vast numbers of copyright deposits that formed the nucleus of the Library's music collections and which, taken as a whole, constitute one of the Library's greatest treasures.
Even so, much music material was left in the Copyright Office and was not transferred to the Music Division until some time in the 1950s.
Although the Music Division possesses many great musical treasures and rarities, the items deposited for copyright (numbering in the millions) make up the heart of its collections, and are, in the aggregate, perhaps the greatest treasure of all.

 Béla Bartók
There he deepened his acquaintance with Wagner, though it was the music of Strauss, which he met at the Budapest premiere of Also sprach Zarathustra in 1902, that had most influence.
Meanwhile his music was beginning to be influenced by this activity and by the music of Debussy that Kodály had brought back from Paris: both opened the way to new, modal kinds of harmony and irregular metre.
The move from inward chromaticism to a glowing major (though modally tinged) tonality is basic to the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936) and the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion (1937), both written for performance in Switzerland at a time when the political situation in Hungary was growing unsympathetic.

Whether for Broadway musicals or films, for humorous songs or romantic ballads, his compositions are celebrated for their appealing melodies and memorable lyrics.

 Paul Hindemith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

His concern with so many branches of music sprang from a sense of ethical responsibility that inevitably became more acute with the rise of the Nazis.

In the concert room where Miss Lerner was playing, a transmitter was placed, and by means of a recently perfected wireless telephone apparatus, the music was sent out over a large radius.

 Amazon.com: Complete Original Dixieland Jazz Band (1917-1936): Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
One of the painful ironies of American musical history is that the first jazz band ever to record was the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, a quintet of white New Orleans musicians who had moved north to Chicago in 1916 and began recording in New York a year later.
More painful still, their first recordings to be released, "Livery Stable Blues" and "Original Dixieland One-Step," would launch a national jazz craze and a host of imitators, with the fad passing before any of the great African American New Orleans musicians--Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong--first entered recording studios.
This music is not as good as it would become with Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, and Jelly Roll Morton, however it is still historic and essential music for Dixieland fans.
