E-Book
This volume explores the field of music education for particularly talented young people. It traces musical careers and their framework conditions and provides insights into institutions and programmes that promote musical talent.
With its spread across the globe, art music of the European tradition has reached societies with different cultural histories and has evolved through its use in new cultural contexts. The promotion of talent, which endeavours to foster the next generation of musicians, also takes different forms. The ten contributions in this volume deal with current issues of musical talent development in Chinese and Western worlds from a comparative perspective. They provide insights into talent promotion, which is influenced by different cultural traditions and values, by specific historical events, and by economic and educational policy factors. At the same time, they show that an in-depth analysis can reveal similarities beyond cultural stereotypes.
