Donna Lee Kwon: Music in Korea. xxii, 202 pp. New York: Oxford University Press, 2012. ISBN 978 0 19 536827 7 (original) (raw)

Music in Korea provides a comprehensive overview of the musical traditions of both South and North Korea, aimed at students and educators. Kwon's holistic approach contrasts with standard genre classifications, although the book's limited access to North Korean music and the reliance on existing literature lead to some gaps in detail. The work is praised for its accessible format and integration of audio materials, but it may not serve as an exhaustive resource on Korean music as some topics require further elaboration.
