This is the sixth volume in a series of books devoted to the
history, documentation and analysis of music in Asia. Four essays
are dedicated to documents from the past: fifth-century Korean tomb
paintings; tenth-century Chinese scores for lute; eighth-century
Japanese documents; early Chinese sutras on the perception of
sound. The remainder concern contemporary documents: the notations
of the Japanese end-blown flute (shakuhachi) and lute (biwa) and
their relationship to performance; acoustical analysis of
contemporary shakuhachi. The focus on musical documents, whether
ancient or modern, provides a unifying thread which renders this
volume unique in the ethnomusicological literature on East Asian
music.
