1910년대 잡가집과 초기 유성기 음반을 통해 본 조선대중음악의 기반

Abstract

Whilst it is well known a number of Chapgajip were published in 1910s, the characteristics of Chapgajip is not clearly revealed yet. For instance, we do not exactly know what sort of works were in Chapgajip, whether they were actually sung or not, how they were introduced for publication, who published it, who bought it, and so forth. Some recent research works showed that Chapga was created and admitted as a sort of commercial music at the end of nineteenth and the beginning of twentieth centuries. However, since the way of creating and accepting Chapga was different to some degree in nineteenth century and in twentieth century, the Chapga of nineteenth century and that of twentieth century cannot be analyzed on the same line. In this work, the public acceptance of Chapga in twentieth century has been investigated by revealing its commercial music nature. The repertories of early 78 RPM recordings are found to be well in coincidence with those of Chapgajip in 1910s, suggesting the public acceptance of Chapgajip is similar to that of early 78 RPM recordings. In this regard, Chapga has been further explored by intensively studying the 78 RPM recordings in early twentieth century. In 20th century there were radical changes such as reification of music, mass production system, rationalization etc. Through these changes the foundation of pop music was made possible. In this regard, we know merely popularity is not sufficient condition but necessary.
