Japanische Musik
Ein chronologischer Überblick [Nihon ongaku gairon]
Mit diesem Buch wird zum erstenmal innerhalb der „Studien zur traditionelle Musik Japans“ ein zusammenfassender chronologischer Abriss der gesamten japanischen Musikgeschichte vorgelegt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine in seiner Systematik für Jahrzenhte maßgebliche Darstellung, die, veröffentlicht im Jahre 1928, noch heute in vielerlei Hinsicht als Pionierwerk angesehen werden muss. Diese erste historisch-chronologische und systematische Darstellung der traditionellen Musik Japans zeugt von einem akut erwachten Bewusstsein für die Bedeutung des musikkulturellen Erbes; hier klingt an, was der Musikwissenschaft unserer Tage zur Selbstverständlichkeit geworden ist, dass Musik im gesamt-kulturellen Rahmen und Kontext entwicklungsgeschichtlicher Prozesse begriffen und aufgezeigt werden muss.
