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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In this highly original book, Bonnie C. Wade skillfully presents a complicated story by weaving together the connections between political conditions, cultural environments, and social expectations. By focusing on these connections between social domains, she establishes a dynamic scene that cannot easily be captured by single concepts such as modernization, westernization, or globalization. She provides a study that is as much about composers, music organizations, and social history as it is about the making of Japanese musical modernity-a process that is still ongoing.\" (Frederick Lau, University of Hawaii at Manoa)\"","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49399938187607,"sku":"9780226085357","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226085357.jpg?v=1730469202","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/composing-japanese-musical-modernity-9780226085357","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
