Unplayed Melodies: Javanese Gamelan and the Genesis of Music Theory Hardcover - 2004
by Marc Perlman
From the rear cover
"The ethnomusicology community has been anticipating this book for some time, and it soars above expectations. Perlman's scope and erudition are broad; readers are offered a rich and integrated educational tour."--Michael Tenzer, author of Gamelan Gong Kebyar: The Art of 20th Century Balinese Music
"Among other things, Perlman offers a fascinating metatheoretical analysis of the nature of Western music-theoretical discourse. His view of 'conceptual innovation' in music theory is insightful and important, and it demonstrates the value of an informed outsider's viewpoint, especially that of someone so adept in ethnography and conceptual history. This book will provide a fresh boost to the continuing study of the history of Western music theory."--Scott Burnham, author of Beethoven Hero
"This is a major achievement. It would not be an overstatement to say that this is a truly seminal work, one which all future studies of Javanese music will have to address and cite extensively and to which all future studies of musical cognition ought to refer as well."--R. Anderson Sutton, author of Traditions of Gamelan Music in Java
