Translate technical terms
A new dictionary offers basic music vocabulary in German, English and Russian and, for the first time, in the Asian languages Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Both teachers and students at music universities are becoming increasingly international. Sometimes - even in music - there is a lack of translation of the appropriate technical term.
The Music dictionary by Johanna Heutling offers the basic vocabulary of musical terms in German, English and Russian and, for the first time, in the Asian languages Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Italian and French technical terms are also included in the performance terms. The indexes in the appendix allow the keywords to be found quickly.
It is aimed at a large user group of amateur and professional musicians, but above all students at music colleges. The dictionary will also be used by German or English-speaking musicians working in Eastern Europe or Asia. As studying abroad has become more attractive than ever due to the international harmonization of the study system, the book also contains administrative terms that go beyond purely technical vocabulary and make everyday study easier.
