Abstract:
Thomas Edison's achievements as an inventor-entrepreneur tend to overshadow the fact that his knowledge and interests extended well beyond the applied sciences. In 1891, a crucial and busy year of his life, Edison took time to set forth his views on one of the most important issues of the day, government regulation of business. Edison's notebook remained almost untouched for nearly one hundred years until Professor Rubin began a careful examination of its contents. His editing and annotation of the manuscript reveal the considerable depth of Edison's intellect and his capacity to probe economic issues in the same thorough manner with which he approached research problems in the laboratory.

Abstract:
Over the past one hundred years, the phrase ―Insomnia Squad‖ has evolved from an inside joke among a few of Thomas Edison‘s laboratory staffers into a term of popular culture, familiar even to school children. Yet very little has been written about the seven experimenters who constituted the task force that Edison assembled in September 1912, why the inventor chose these particular individuals to assist him, the nature of the problem with which he was grappling, or how it was ultimately resolved. Edison and his assistants worked night and day for five weeks with only a minimal amount of sleep, yet no adequate explanation has been offered as to why the inventor drove his men so hard. This article, based on the documents in the microfilm and digital editions of the Thomas A. Edison Papers, reveals that this period of intense activity coincided with a family crisis, as Edison‘s wife Mina rushed to Akron, Ohio, to tend to her dying mother, while her inventor husband raced to perfect the Diamond Disc record before he was called away to attend the funeral. With a million dollars worth of phonographs piled up in the warehouse and no records to sell along with them, Edison and his men pushed round the clock to work out the bugs in the manufacturing process and bring the Diamond Disc to market. Although seven experimenters assisted Edison, only six appear in the group photograph that was taken at the end of the marathon session. The identity of the seventh ―Insomniac‖ is revealed at the end of the article.

Abstract:
Thesis (D.M.A.)--Boston University
With the invention of the phonograph in 1877, Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) ushered in a new era of musical experiences. Among other things, his device provided new learning opportunities for both amateur and professional musicians, in addition to non-musicians. By 1906, Edison recordings were being made for the Siegel-Myers Correspondence School of Music's distance instruction program, five years before Edison's major competitor, the Victor Talking Machine Company, established its education department under the direction of Frances Elliott Clark (1860-1958). The major difference between the competitors' devices was that the Edison phonograph allowed users to record music and the Victor talking machine did not. Despite this disadvantage, the Victor device was marketed more successfully as an aid to music education. Although Edison's phonograph companies encouraged music education through student performance, self-recording, and correspondence feedback, in 1921 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. hired Charles H. Farnsworth (1859-1947) to, in part, replicate Victor's successful approach to music education: learning to appreciate music through listening to recorded music. While Edison and his phonograph have received considerable attention in some scholarly literature, there has been no significant research on his or his companies' involvement with music education. The purpose of this study was to help fill this gap in the literature. Toward that end, the following research questions were addressed: (1) In what ways did Thomas A. Edison contribute to music education? (2) In what ways did Edison's phonograph companies contribute to music education? (3) How, and to whom, did Edison's phonograph companies market their phonographs and other music education products? and (4) How did Edison's approach to music instruction via the phonograph differ from that of Frances Elliott Clark and the Victor Talking Machine Company? Historical research techniques were used in this study, beginning with an examination of documents at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, New Jersey, the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) Historical Center at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Music Library at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. These archives contain primary source material about Edison, Clark, and the Edison and Victor phonograph companies.

Abstract:
Depuis l’invention en 1877 du phonographe par Edison, il est devenu possible d'archiver ce qui jusqu'alors échappait à toute objectivation : les sons du dehors. Grâce à l'appareil technique, le son devient, sous sa forme enregistrée, un document, une trace, un témoignage du réel. À partir d’un choix d'exemples très divers empruntés à la musique contemporaine et à l'art sonore (Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Luigi Nono, Steve Reich, Luc Ferrari…), le présent travail étudie les conséquences de cette mutation sur le plan de l'esthétique musicale. Le document sonore est abordé comme "corps étranger" au sein de la structure autotélique du musical, un corps étranger qui ne cesse de faire signe vers le réel empirique : le moment t de la capture sonore. Le document affecte l'œuvre musicale dans sa supposée inaliénable autonomie, mais dans le même temps offre un terrain d’expression à une variété de pratiques jusqu'alors inédites dans le champ musical
Since 1877 and Edison's phonograph, it has become possible to archive the sounds of the outside real, which hitherto could not be objectified. A recorded sound can be considered the objective trace or document of a past event : a testimony of the empirical real. Through a bunch of examples chosen in contemporary music and sound art (Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Luigi Nono, Steve Reich, Luc Ferrari…), this thesis studies the consequences of this mutation on the aesthetic field. What is here called "sound document" is the "foreign body" which appears in a musical composition as a sign refering to the real, the very moment of the sound capture. This element affects the musical composition in its supposedly inalienable autonomy, yet at the same time offers a wide range of expressions for a variety of practices which were hitherto unfamiliar to the musical field
