Publisher's Review
World history, music history, and the aesthetics of fusion

The history of music has developed in line with the mighty flow of history.
That is why this book does not simply list the development of music history in a boring and difficult way.
Readers can simultaneously view major historical events on a macro level and examine how they influenced the micro-history of music.


Life in music, music in life

Until now, music education has been foolishly limited to simply memorizing the names of famous musicians or instilling famous musical works.
The names of the greatest musicians remained only in print.
The author does not impart fragmentary knowledge, but rather, through the stories and backgrounds of the characters in a single song, he conveys deep knowledge, living knowledge.

An essential textbook that broadens your horizons

A textbook serves the purpose of opening up a new dimension that readers have never known before.
The materials compiled by the author with great care and dedication pique the reader's interest.
The historical, philosophical, and humanistic knowledge underlying the book will provide the culture and nourishment for living today.
