A Review on Musical Exoticism the History of Scholarship and Extension of Concept
Abstract
Musical Exoticism has emerged as a significant concept in musicology. The previous research on it has evolved from a narrow focus on foreign musical elements to a much broader view of full-context-exoticism practices. This paper explores this historical development of the scholarship and its implications for interpreting Western music. By examining the transformation of Music Exoticism, the researcher can gain insights in how it has shaped our understanding of Western musical tradition.
