Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor to talk about musicology and ethnomusicology in Korea. But I am afraid that to listen to tedious details, such as the names of many articles and books, and the names of foreign authors and apparently insignificant dates of their publications, especially on a hot mid-summer day, would be uncomfortable. So I beg you to read my paper on the publicly announced topic at your leisure and to allow me to talk of my broad daydream about the ultimate aim of musicology and ethnomusicology.
