SONG CAVALCADE-1907-1937
This list of songs and musical selections was compiled by a survey with those music publishers whose records span 30 years.
In reading the listing, however, the following allowances should be kept in mind:
1. The particular year under which any song is included is not always the year of copyright. The year listed is the year in which the song was most popular. That there may be some disagreement in the music publishing fraternity anent the years under which certain songs should be classified is to be expected. However, much of this disagreement must confine itself within the limits of a twelve-month.
2. While sheet music sales are the general standard on which the list is based, two other consideration have been kept in mind: (a) the song should have some remembrance at the present day; and (b) if a song was indicative of a change in musical style, or heralded a new composer, or in any other way set a new standard professionally for the industry, it was included. "Rhapsody in Blue" is noted both because of the late George Gershwin and Paul Whiteman, to cite an example.
3. The records of the publishing industry are not kept in double-entry ledgers. They are, to a considerable extent, human records, kept in the memories of the publishers, jobbers, etc. While checking has been done for copyright dates, it is still a matter of opinion by individuals as to what constitutes a number worthy of inclusion or omission.
4. Some songs are classified by year only with great difficulty. They have a continued steady sale, or periodically are revived long after the date of copyright.
To those members of the music industry whose help was extended in making this compilation possible, acknowledgment (though it be anonymous) is hereby tendered.
