When the Berliner “Funk-Stunde” (“Radio Hour”) went out on the air on October 29, 1923, heralding the start of German radio, the first piece of music to be broadcast live was Fritz Kreisler’s Andantino in the Style of Martini. The fact that the era of the new mass medium began with an imitation of an old musical style is not without a certain irony – and reveals how little attention had been paid to the problem of music on the radio. It was indeed to be a further five years before the radio stations commissioned the first compositions for the medium. Here, under the heading of “generic radio music”, the following genres were defined: “radio suite, musical radio play, radio cantata, radio opera and symphonic light music”. Modern composers such as Paul Hindemith, Ernst Toch and Kurt Weill were all commissioned, along with light entertainment composers such as Edmund Nick, Mischa Spoliansky and Eduard Künneke.The age of radio begins in Berlin at the beginning of the 1920s, while people suffer from political crises, inflation as well as the consequences of the Spanish flu. In music we experience a mirror of the times. New media and old traditions, revolution and perseverance, jazz and art music are juxtaposed. One hundred years later, we realize how much this time has to do with us, how formative the sound of the century was and is, and how many points of contact there are in the present. Welcome to Vision and Retrospection!
