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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Koguryo instruments in Tomb No.1 at Ch'ang-ch'uan, Manchuria Song Bang-Song\u003cbr\u003e Shakuhachi honkyoku notation: written sources in an oral tradition Riley Lee\u003cbr\u003e Single sound: basic structure of the music of the Japanese flute shakuhachi  Andreas Gutzwiller and Gerald Bennett\u003cbr\u003e A report on Chinese research into the Dunhuang music manuscripts Chen Yingshi\u003cbr\u003e Translation Coralie Rockwell\u003cbr\u003e Where did Toragaku come from?
