This collection includes a series of lectures by Theodor W. Adorno, delivered in 1961–62 at the University of Frankfurt and broadcast on North German Radio. The philosopher studied music not only as a researcher and critic, but also as a practitioner: he was a student of Alban Berg and Eduard Steuermann, both members of Arnold Schoenberg's circle. In "Introduction to the Sociology of Music," Adorno examines the many relationships that mediate music and society: music unfolds alienation and reification, and it can become a vehicle for the dissemination of ideology. Each lecture chapter sequentially explores types of listeners, popular music, the functions of music in bourgeois society, opera, the relationship between conductor and orchestra, musical life, public and expert opinion on music, national issues, the role of the avant-garde, and, finally, the problems of musical sociology. This work, which examines music as a constructive ingredient in social life, became part of the author’s larger project to study how our society functions as a whole.
