Hi!
I recently discovered this name from wondering around the stock in our music library. I would like to learn more about his music but I was not able to get good result with my search engines. Anyone can tell me what his music is like? The clarinet pieces I saw seemed quite difficult with a lot of notes. I think it would mean a lot to me to work on couple music by a composer from my country. Please tell me all you know about his music. Thanks

I remember an article in 'The Clarinet' a few years back.
Searching their index at www.clarinet.org gave me:
XXIV/4 36-38 Kerstetter, K. Tod. Clarinet Music of Isang Yun, The
Maybe you can find it in your library - if I remember right that was around 1998.

(well, Someone-who-knows, that "audiences don´t dig it" - so the worse for those cloth-eared ninecompoops. Let them stay with the 18th and 19th century, and grow old and encrusted there.)
Isang Yun´s music is by far more than plain serialism, he was a very political composer, read his biography, it is frightening as well as astonishing what this wonderful man had to go through, especially in his homecountry. He is a perfect example of blending eastern conceptions of melody and timing with western form and notation. I have his "ryul" at home, for cl and piano, very very difficult, but extremely rewarding, - and I have also heard about this piece "piri", which originally has been for the corean oboe, and am still looking for it: E. Brunner (The KING) plays it on ECM´s New Series 1599 "Dal Niente" entiteled CD. There is something true about the argument that eastern composers have a special feel for windinstruments, Yun would be an excellent example.
I do hope You´ll find His compositions brilliant and deep, a joy for our instrument to play.

His music is published by Bote & Bock in Germany. The US distributor is Boosey & Hawkes. Go to Boosey.com and have a look.
