Abstract: Isang Yun (1917-1995) was a Korean composer residing in Germany after 1957. Reflecting his musical training in both the East and West, Yun's music integrates serial techniques with elements of Korean traditional music. Yun's piano music merits attention for developing this combination in great depth, as perhaps best exemplified by Fünf Stücke für Klavier (1958). His later piano works, Shao Yang Yin (1966) and Interludium A für Klavier (1982) emphasize aspects of Korean traditional music more strongly. This study intends to assist pianists to develop an informed interpretation of these works based on an understanding of Yun's musical bilingualism.
