World Music advocate Percy Grainger wrote:
If we want one single instrument that turned music away from the late 19th century from the delicacy of 20th century music I think it is to be sorght in Debussy's admiration for the Javanese Gong Orchestras that he heard in Paris in 1888 you can hear very beautiful examples of that music in a volume of records called Music of the orient edited by Doctor Von Hornbustle I think it is put out by Decca.
