1910년대 일본인의 조선음악 연구- 가네쓰네 기요스케(兼常淸佐)의 朝鮮の音樂을 중심으로 -

Abstract

In this study, I have examined the studies of Chosen no Ongaku 『朝鮮の音樂』 (Korean Music) by Kanetsune Kiyosuke(兼常淸佐) in around 1912. Kanetsune surveyed most of Korean music ranging from court music to folk music including Chongmyo cheryeak 宗廟祭禮樂(royal ancestral shrine music), Yŏmillak 與 民樂(Enjoyment with the People), Yŏngsan hoesang 靈山會相(aristocratic instrumental suite), kogok 歌曲(long lyric song), etc. He analysed the melodies, scales, modes, playing styles, tones of musical instruments, and feelings of each piece of music in his statements. In addition, he notated the music of the time, ranging from court music to folk music, on the staff notation, making it the very first staff notation of Chosŏn music. Kanetsune, in most cases, gave a brief account of the instruments when explaining the music pieces. Taking the first measurement of the pitches, Kanetsune set up two types of tests. One of them was to measure the pitches of p'yŏnjong 編鍾(bronze bell-chimes) and p'yŏngyŏng 編磬(stone chimes) that have fixed pitches. The other one was to measure the pitches of the music when played by musicians, which resulted in his favorable reception to the musicality of Chosŏn musicians.
