Abstract
A guide to Korean instruments, focussing on seven key string, percussion and wind instruments: kayagum, komun'go, haegum, changgo, p'iri, taegum, tanso. Each instrument is discussed historically and in its regional context. Different versions of each, and related instruments are described. Playing methods and techniques are given, coupled to photographs and other illustrations, then notations are introduced, building to sets of exercises and pieces given in both Korean mensural and staff notations. Two additional chapters give an historical overview, a broad consideration of different notation systems used in Korea, and an organological account of all traditional Korean instruments. Rewritten, expanded, newly illustrated edition of book originally published in 1988.
