The term Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv is used to refer to: *A collection of ethnomusicological recordings or world music, mostly on phonographs (cylinder records) assembled since 1900 in Berlin, Germany and *The institution that assembled these recordings. ==The collection== The project was initiated in September 1900 by the psychology professor Carl Stumpf, after the visit to Germany of a music theater group from Siam, which Stumpf recorded on Edison cylinders with the assistance of the Berlin physician Otto Abraham. The archive's first director was Erich von Hornbostel, serving from 1905 to 1933. Its recordings, which comprise Edison cylinders and 78-rpm records of the traditional musics of the world, were first used for studies in comparative musicology, and now used for studies in ethnomusicology. The archive comprises approximately 350 collections, containing music from Africa (30%), North America (20%), Asia (20%), Australia and Oceania (12%), and Europe (10.4%), as well as multiregional collections (7.4%), which contain material from several continents. The last cylinder field recording in the collection was made in 1953. In 1944 during the wartime invasion of Germany, around 90% of the collection was taken into Russia. In 1991, following the reunification of East and West Germany, the pre-1944 collections held by the Soviets were returned to the Museum für Völkerkunde. The historical collections include approximately 30,000 cylinders (original recordings and copies, positives and negatives) on which more than 16,000 distinct recordings are stored. In 1999, the cylinder recordings of the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv were inscribed on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
