Jaap Kunst

Portrait of Kunst in 1950 Jaap Kunst (12 August 1891 – 7 December 1960) was a Dutch musicologist. He is credited with steering the discipline away from exclusively comparative methods and into the direction of historical particularism, coining the term "ethno-musicology" as a more accurate name for the field then known as comparative musicology.

Kunst studied the folk music of the Netherlands and his field studies in Indonesia between 1920 and 1934 are seen as fundamental contributions to the knowledge and understanding of Indonesian folk music. His published work totals more than 70 texts. Provided by Wikipedia
