This Element explores the circulation of musical instruments,
practices, and thought in premodern Eurasia at the crossroads of
empires and nomadic cultures. It takes into consideration
mechanisms of transmission, appropriation, adaptation, and
integration that helped shape musical traditions that are perceived
as culturally and geographically distinct yet are historically
linked. The five stories featured here range from the
geographically diverse performing groups during the Sui and Tang
era, to the elusive musical world of Kucha in the Tarim Basin; from
the fragmentary history of a single instrument linked to the Turkic
peoples across Eurasia, to the transcontinental circulation of
sound-making automata, including the organ, on both east-west and
north-south axes. Within the conceptual background of cultural
encounter and exchange, this Element provides possible strategies
for integrating such information into the historical tapestry of
Eurasian transcontinental networks as explored in other Elements in
the series.
