This page presents a provisional account and discography of the '''Kauder Society'''.

It is part of the site [[Classical 'Society' Records by Nick Morgan]].

In the late 1940s, two sets of 78 rpm records of compositions by Hugo Kauder were issued in the name of the otherwise undocumented Society.

==The Kauder Society==
It is not known when the Kauder Society was formed, by whom, for how long it existed, and whether or how it was connected with the composer, teacher and writer <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hugokauder.org/about/about-hugo-kauder/ Hugo Kauder]</span> (1888-1972). The Society's existence is currently attested solely by four records issued in its name in the late 1940s.

In 2002 a new body was founded, the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hugokauder.org/ Hugo Kauder Society]</span>. Still active, it documents, preserves and promotes Kauder's works and teachings. In 2006 the Society donated its papers to the New York Public Library, where they are held by the Music Division. The NYPL's <span class="plainlinks">[http://archives.nypl.org/mus/18414 finding aid]</span> does not clearly list any items relating either to the older Kauder Society or to the records listed below.<ref>Snyder, Matthew <span class="plainlinks">[http://archives.nypl.org/mus/18414 'Hugo Kauder Society records 1911-2006']</span>, Music Division, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, n.d.</ref>

==Kauder Society publications==
In the late 1940s, two sets of 78 rpm records of Kauder's compositions were produced by the Night Music Recording Co., whose name appears on the labels alongside that of Kauder Society. The albums themselves give no information about the Society. In the absence of this, and of any terms and conditions of membership or publicity material for these issues, it must be assumed that the Society underwrote them in part or in full. Two reviews of the first issue give a (slightly different) price but do not state whether it could be bought retail or only from the Society itself. The second issue apparently went almost completely unnoticed in the press.

The Society is not known to have sponsored or published any printed material besides the inserts which accompanied these two issues.

'''Notes'''<br/>
The above set was issued in auto-sequence coupling only, in an album with a loose-leaf printed insert containing a note on the composer and recorded works, written by <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Lowinsky Edward E. Lowinsky]</span>, then Professor of Music at <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mountain_College Black Mountain College]</span>; the text is reproduced <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hugokauder.org/about/reflections-on-hugo-kauder/ here]</span>. The insert also contained brief biographies of the artists. The recording date is printed on the disc labels, which also give the location of the Night Music Recording Co. as Boston, Massachusetts (although its next issue placed it in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania<ref><span class="plainlinks">[https://www.discogs.com/Dov-Arres-Haganah-Songs-Of-The-Jewish-Underground/release/9183762 Night Music set 106 'Haganah Songs of the Jewish Underground']</span>, discogs.com</ref>). The price was variously given in the press as $4 (''The New Records'') and $4.20 (Gramophone Shop ''Record Supplement'').

'''System'''<br/>It is not known which electrical recording system or medium were used. The owner of a copy of this issue has described it as 'not a good recording, with distortion that smacks of early tape, although the date (1946) seems rather too early - or maybe it's a typical US limiter circuit.'<ref>Personal e-mail, 9 January 2019</ref> As noted in ''The New Records'' (see below), the discs were pressed on 'non-breakable Vinylite'.

'''Notes'''<br/>
The above set was issued in auto-sequence coupling only, in an album with a loose-leaf printed insert containing a note on the composer and recorded works; the author is not currently known. The insert also contained a photograph of Kallir (a pupil of the composer) and, presumably, a brief biography of her. The recording date is not given on the disc labels or insert, but the latter refers to Kauder having written his 'recent Fourth piano Sonata' for Kallir; the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hugokauder.org/uploads/downloads/kauder_pianosonata4_ms.pdf autograph manuscript]</span> of the Fourth Sonata is dated 18 March 1948, but the recording itself could have been made before the insert note was written. The price of this issue is not known, nor is the location at this date of the Night Music Recording Co.

'''System'''<br/>It is not known which electrical recording system or medium were used. The owner of a copy of this issue has described it as having 'some distortion etc (like Vol I) that suggests to me early tape recording, rather than 'typical' 1940s American problems.'<ref>Personal e-mail, 3 May 2019</ref>

===Unissued Recordings===
It is possible that other recordings were made for the Kauder Society but not issued. To date, none are known.

 '''System'''<br/>It is not known which electrical recording system or medium were used. The owner of a copy of this issue has described it as having 'some distortion etc (like Vol I) that suggests to me early tape recording, rather than 'typical' 1940s American problems.'<ref>Personal e-mail, 3 May 2019</ref>
