约翰·布莱金的《人的音乐性》是民族音乐学的经典著作,1973年首版,迄今已被翻译成11种语言。本书是第一个中文译本,也是西方民族音乐学经典著作第一次以完整面貌呈现在中文读者面前。译者在其前言中对该书作了简要的评价,再一次肯定:《人的音乐性》极大地拓展了人们对世界上不同音乐体系的认识。 The “human musicality” of John Blaine is the classic book of ethnomusicology, the first edition of 1973, which has so far been translated into 11 languages. This book is the first Chinese translation, and is also the first time a classic book of Western ethnomusicology is presented in front of Chinese readers with a complete picture. The translator made a brief evaluation of the book in his foreword and reaffirmed once again that “the musical nature of man” greatly expanded people’s awareness of the different musical systems in the world.
