      ab: The main focus of "Music and the Making of Modern Japan: Joining the Global Concert" is the development of modern music in Japan from the 1870s to the 1920s, highlighting its role in the country's modernization efforts. The author, a historian, examines how Japan adopted Western musical practices as part of a broader modernization agenda, which included the establishment of a national music and the marginalization of traditional Japanese music. The book is structured into three parts: the global context of musical modernity, Japan's national policies on music, and a case study of regional musical activities in Sendai. It emphasizes the interplay between Indigenous and Western music, illustrating how musical hybridity was fostered during this transformative period.
