For the studies brought together in this volume, music is no longer necessarily something marked by notation or its absence; for them, music is also something that can be recorded phonographically. In other words, instead of records in the register of the symbolic, this volume considers music that is recordable and recorded in the register of the real. [...] If this extensive and multifaceted book offers a kind of history, analysis, and anthropology of domestic musical culture in the twentieth century, it also provides a view of the present, of today’s disputes and problems in dealing with the musical heritage of the previous century.
