Composing Japanese Musical Modernity

About the author

Summary

When we think of composers like Mozart or Beethoven, we usually envision an isolated artist separate from the orchestra. For most of Japan's musical history, however, no such role existed - composition and performance were deeply intertwined. This book offers fresh insights not just into Japanese music but Japanese modernity at large.
