일제강점기 국내의 일본인 음악가들과 그 활동

Abstract

It is no exaggeration to say that the history of modern music in Korea and Japan has been studied as like two unrelated histories. In spite of this propensity to research, a role Japanese musicians had played in the colonized Korea cannot be neglected in the respect that they had a great influence in the filed of music education and policy, music industry as well. This study is designed to clarify the role of Japanese professional musicians in the education and policy of Korean modern music by investigating their activities in Korea. Regarding the investigation of the activities of the Japanese musicians, this study is divided into two ways to it: general and particular investigation. It will, in first, deal with a general investigation by mainly using two materials, Modern Japanese Music Yearbook and Record of Tokyo Music School. This general investigation is found that most Japanese musicians in Korea graduated from Tokyo Music School and came to Korea for teaching for Japanese students. Besides music education, they took part in making music policy, directly or indirectly, through serving as directors of music associations and writing articles for textbook and periodicals as well as working as composers. It will be Mr. Ooba Yunosuke among the Japanese professional musicians generally investigated in first chapter to be, in detail, investigated in next chapter. He was the most prominent example of them to illustrate their activities clearly; and, as a leading and guiding person of the Korean modern music, he had a close relation with the bureaucrats of the Japanese Government General of Korea, academic societies and literacy circles. His activity in the colonized Korea had been actively supported by the Government, and his role, also, made a positive contribution to it, in composing many musical pieces to promote the war regime. It would be possible that this research draws a conclusion as follows; Japanese musicians came to Korea mainly as teachers but their activities were expanded to support the order of Japanese occupation.
