Folks, I've been asked an interesting question by a fellow YouTube member who's researching a book she's writing. I have posted this question few other places-my apologies if you seen it elsewhere as well. "... [W]hat [would] urban, somewhat sophisticated middle-class Europeans... have in their homes in the 1930s. Would some people have stand-alone Victrolas and others still be hanging on to the lovely art nouveau flower-shaped horn gramophones that came out early in the century?" What would be the most common or average phonograph owned by an upper middle class family or person in Europe, specifically Vienna in the thirties? Specifically, she is looking for what music was popular in "middle-class (Jewish) Viennese homes from about 1932-38, and even more specifically, 1935-38". She's also asked the following-a bit off topic I know, but I thought I'd forward it as well: "Here's some more questions for your international circle: I know that February was a month of many fancy dress "balls" in Vienna. I'd love to know what music was likely to be danced to during the dates above--polkas, waltzes, popular music? Would this be a live orchestra/band or records? And finally, if there are any fashion folks in the know, what what people have worn??" Another part of her question is; would they be winding or plugging into the wall? I wonder if there would many wall outlets at all? (I did tell her that the term Victrola wasn't used in Europe.) Thank you all. Regards, John
