The Language of Music

Radio has opened UP two new
languages TO many people, that OF
. electricity and that of music. Elec-
trical terms, as applied specifically to
the technical art Of radio. have been
explained so often in the radio maya
zines that any reader can readily in
form himself as to their meaning.
, But to those who have not had a
musical education many musical
| words are confusing. This is es-
/ pecially so as most of the technical
, terms employed in music are of an
| Italian origin because much Of the
early development of music was ac-
complished in Italy.
A knowledge of these terms adds
to an appreciation and understand
ing of the music to which they re-
fer. To know that a barcarole Is
boat song whose rhythm pictures the
water tapping against the sides Of a
Venetian gondola or that a berceuse
is cradle song or lullaby. gives a
clue to the meaning Of the music
itself.
Many Of the commoner terms in
dictate the manner in which the
composition should be performed so
as to bring out the composers
2 thought. Thus allegro represents
rapid rythm, adagio slowness, and
andante a medium pace. Forte
means loud, piano soft. crescendo a
/ steady increase in loudness. and
diminuendo a steady decrease.
The interlude or intermezzo so
, frequently played by the better Or
chestras is literally the instrumental
passage between the verses of a song,
just as an overture forms the intro
duction to an opera. An etude is an
instrumental piece designed to IL
lustrate a problem or difficulty in the
technique Of any instrument.
All Of these terms, and many more
whose pronunciation is as .unfa-
miliar to the average announcer as
is their meaning, are defined in any
dictionary. Consequently there Is no
excuse for ignorance of them. In
fact radio is so popularizing music
that no person desiring to be con-
sidered as well-informed can afford
to overlook this knowledge.
AS YOU read through the programs
for the week make a list of the
words whose meaning you do not
understand. Look them up in the
dictionary and think of the definition
as the piece is played or sung. You
VIII be surprised at how much more
the music means to you. BY a little
application in this direction per-
son having no ability to sing or play
can learn to feel much of the real
meaning that is involved in the finer
compositions

THE possibility of another test next

Broadcasting Of Human
Beings May Be Possible
Relieves Howard ThurStOn

When Howard Thurston, the magi-
clan, first told his theories of the pos
sibility of Mars being inhabited and
that static may be a form of radio
message from the inhabitants of that
planet, he received many letters from
scientists and others interested In
this phase Of radio. Now, since the
transmission of photographs, and
voice have been proved practical, the
prediction Is made by the magician
that it may be possible to broadcast
human beings-the dream of many
scientists and inventors. The radio
audience will hear this famous enter
tainer on Monday evening, March hrst
through the Crosley WLW broadcast
ing station, Cincinnati, at which time
he will give his ideas upon the SUP
iect of broadcasting human beings
through the air.
Thurston is the first magician to
realize the entertaining possibilities OF
radio and was a pioneer in broadcast.

tell of his travels in India on Wednes-
day evening, March 3rd, at O'CLOCK
while his wife will be interviewed on
the previous evening and at the same
time, by Alvin Richard Plough. These
talks and interviews will also be
through the WLW broadcasting sta
ton.
Experiments are being conducted by
Thurston along the lines of broadcast
ing a human form through space. he
carries some apparatus with him and
has a greater part of it in his labora-

Reception Will Be Greatly Improved When
Number Broadcastjng Stations Are Reduced

BY POWELL CROSLEY. Jr.,
Member Fourth National Radio Con-
ference
In talking to many Radio men, dis
tributors, dealers and others who
should be fore familiar with the tech
meal side Of radio broadcasting, we
have been surprised to hear the state
ment made that receiving sets Of all
kinds are not sufficiently selective on
the lower band of wave lengths from
200 to just below 800 meters.
There seems to be generally false
impression that the bowling, whistling
and interference, the tapping over of
stations on the lower broadcasting
bands-occupied by the so-called
Glass "a" broadcasting stations-is
due to the lack of selectively in the re-
ceiving sets.
1t must be remembered that the
broadcasting stations on the lower
bands have exactly the same separa-
ton in kilocycles, and although it is
true that the wave lengths draw closer
together with the same separation as
to kilocycles, the stations on the low
er bands could very readily be separa-
located on each wave channel.
At first all broadcasting stations
were located on one wave length-360
meters. AS the number of stations
increased, the interference between
several stations on the one wave
length became so great. that it was
necessary to provide an additional
channel. So stations were classified.
The Glass "B" stations and higher
powered stations were placed on 400
meters; Glass "A' stations remained
on $50 meters. Soon the trouble was
just as bad as ever on the two wave
channels, so provision was made to
separate the Glass "B" stations over a
band from approximately 800 meters
to 445 meters. with the exception of
$50 meters which was still reserved
for Class "a stations that did not
desire to go below 800 meters, and a
band between 200 and 800 meters for
Glass "a" stations.
At first, those stations which were
unable to qualify for Class "B"-
either by power or equipment-were
placed in the Glass "a band. An eff
fort has been made continually to
precent interference on the same wave
length between Glass "B" stations, in
the range from slightly below 800 me-
tiers to 545 meters therefore. the Class
"B" band has been less subject to IN
reference, excepting where the station
has swung from its allotted frequency.
because it has been so arranged that
there is either division of time or 4
wide separation of distance between
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-02-19

| any two stations operating on the same
wave length in the Glass "B" band.
At first when the Glass "A" band
was established it was simple prob
lem to allot the wave lengths to the
lower powered stations so that they
could be separated by sufficient dis
lance to cause little interference, but,
as the Class "B" band soon became
| completely occupied by Glass 'B" sta
tons, higher powered stations were
compelled. when they came in, to take
their position in the Class "A" band.
AS result, in many casse, several 500
watt stations and even 5000 watt sta
lions, as we'll as stations OF less than
500 watts. were piled on top Of each
| other on the same frequency or wave
length. Many Of the Glass "A" sta
lions were lacking in accurate fire.
quency measuring equipment, and as
consequence of the piling up of sta
lions on the same frequency and the
swinging Of frequency of the various
stations, a situation nov exists in the
so called Glass "A" band where there
is hardly a wave length that is free
from interference between two or more
stations, which causes that whistling
and bowling that Is so noticeable below
! 800 meters.
No radio receiving set in the world
| will separate two stations beating upon
each other or interfering with each
| other. OF course 1t Is true that those
people located near to such station
will not notice the interference so
| much as the people located at a dis
| lance.
Now this condition can only be i'm
proved by lessening in the number OF
| broadcasting stations. The department
| OF commerce now realizes that the
broadcasting band is inadequate to take
| care Of the number of broadcasting
| stations which now exist. IF demand
were made to put more of the Class
| "A" stations in the Glass "B' band, the
situation which exists on the lower
wave stations would simply be extend
ed and there would be unsatisfactory
| reception over the entire broadcasting
| band. However, it is believed that
| gradually the number of broadcasting
| stations will be reduced until eventu-
1 ally 1t will be possible to have salts.
| factory reception on every wave length
| But at the present time is must be
! recognized that it is a matter of lulck
| only when the distant listener is able
| to hear a satisfactory program from a
station located in the Class "a" band.
| That luck is based upon being fortu-
nate enough to hear one station oper-
| ating alone on its wave length, or at
| least one station which so far domi-
! mates that wave length in power that
these powerful and more distant sta
! tions operating on the same wave
! length will not cause n heterodyning
beaf-note which is UNPLEASANT.
p The point 1 desire to make is that
the design of receiving set cannot
create this difficulty. The element of
selectivity in receiving set has no
(, bearing whatsoever upon creating this
i condition. So called straight lined
, frequency condensers are of no assist
! ance. The only cure is the element of
time. and that most fundamental law
of nature-the survival of the fittest.
