Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In April of last year, I left England on a vacation trip across the Atlantic, a vacation rather from the general European atmosphere than from overwork. I spent two months in Canada, and since last August have been chiefly in and around New York with occasional visits to the Middle West. I have found this country enormously stimulating, and, as I have met many of the chief figures in American music today, I have had perhaps as good an opportunity as most foreigners of comparing conditions in this country with those in their own. There has been recently a lot of correspondence about American music and the treatment of American composers. It has been the chief topic of conversation in many musical circles to which I have been introduced, and it has been the subject of many articles and essays. Let me say straightaway that, in my opinion, the American composer has little to grumble at; compared with English composers, nothing. Whatever struggle American music may have had in the past for its fair.share of public recognition, today the composer here, compared with his English brother even in normal times, has a very rosy prospect.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
