"This book presents a fascinating overview of the genre’s introduction to East Asia and Australia. In 20 chapters, readers encounter various cultural and artistic struggles to locally adapt a more or less alien musical style in terms of form, content, and culture. Almost every chapter treats this musical challenge in terms of modernity and identity. Commendably, the authors seek to avoid the narrative of East–West division, focusing instead on the interconnectedness of the art song globally... The book will interest specialists and students of musical styles and their intercultural transmission. It will be even more intriguing for those interested in questions of identity, (post-)colonialism, and modernity in East Asia and Australia."
