‘Emotional Heading’

—As an element of the subject catalog for phonograph records—

Abstract

This study has been developed in process of framing up a ‘tool’, by which it is needed to choose any music wanted rapidly and adequately. The writer analyses the use patterns of music in radio, T. V., slide, school drama, as such, and found the user’s clues to recorded music to be classified generally under composer, performer, instrument, kind of music, descriptive theme, and emotional theme. Treating the last clue, he collected emotional words from various fields and classifies them into three, as usable for subject headings, vis., basic emotional headings, common emotional headings, and composite emotional headings.
