Description
Innovative
stenography
systems
of the
1830s
used
the
variable
thickness
of
line
that was
so
important
in the
cursive
handwriting
of the
time
to
signify
differences
in
phonemes
. These
systems
and their
descendants
became
the
dominant
shorthand
systems
in
England
,
America
, and
Central
and
Eastern
Europe
for the
rest
of the
nineteenth
and
twentieth
centuries
,
even
as
stenography
moved
from
being
an
intellectual
hobby
to
being
a
professional
tool
of
secretaries
and
court
reporters
.
Music
and
stenography
both
involve
the
writing
of
sound
, and
stenographical
systems
(especially
since
1830)
put
the
phonemes
of
speech
into "
scales
" that
vaguely
recall
musical
scales
.
Alfred
Cramer
,
Associate
Professor
of
Music
at
Pomona
College
, a
scholar
interested
in the
analogies
among
spoken
language
,
music
, and
writing
, will
compare
two
ways
of "
writing
sound
" and the
way
"
writing
sound
"
can
also be
reversed
into "the
sound
of
writing
" an
interpretation
lending
historical
substance
to
Richard
Wagner's
quote
that he
heard
"
penstrokes
"
behind
music
.
