Reviews

Anno's writing is clear and engaging, and her enthusiasm for the subject is contagious[.]This book will become essential reading for anyone interested in East Asian music or theatre, and many of themes discussed here should be of broad interest to ethnomusicologists, performers, music educators, and music theorists. -- Ethnomusicology Forum
