Duh!Ĭlose ups of music students’ music notation exam papers, Dong Yi, ep. It was not a universal music language that everyone around the world has automatically always used. It didn’t dawn on me in that moment that the stave and music notation as I know it was developed in Europe for European music. 5 lined staves with treble clefs and bass clefs and the musicians furiously writing crochets and quavers and semibreves. In retrospect I have to ask myself why on earth in a Korean drama set in the 17th century I was expecting to see them write modern western style music scores – ie. We get a close up of what they are writing.
