| Summary |
When we think of composers like Mozart or Beethoven, we usually envision an isolated artist separate from the orchestra, and in Europe and America this image generally has been accurate. For most of Japan's musical history, however, no such role existed - composition and performance were deeply intertwined. Only when Japan began to embrace Western culture in the late 19th century did the role of the composer emerge. In this book, Bonnie C. Wade uses an investigation of this new musical role to offer new insights not just into Japanese music but Japanese modernity at large. |
