Kepania haku mele, alakai a me kumu mele. ʻO ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ke kula ʻo Iapana o nā haku mele. ʻO ke kuleana o Yamada - ka haku mele, alakaʻi, ka lehulehu - i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka moʻomeheu mele o Iapana he nui a ʻokoʻa. Akā, malia paha, ʻo kāna waiwai nui ke kumu o ka ʻoihana symphony orchestra mua ma ka mōʻaukala o ka ʻāina. Ua hana ʻia kēia i ka makahiki 1914, ma hope koke iho o ka pau ʻana o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻoihana ʻōpio ʻōpio.
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Yamada a hānai ʻia ma Tokyo, kahi i puka ai ʻo ia mai ka Academy of Music ma 1908, a laila hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ma lalo o Max Bruch ma Berlin. I kona hoʻi ʻana i kona ʻāina hānau, ua ʻike ʻo ia me ka ʻole o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o kahi orkestra piha, ʻaʻole hiki i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka moʻomeheu mele, ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke ʻano o ke alakaʻi ʻana, ʻaʻole hoʻi, ʻaʻole hiki i ka puka ʻana mai o kahi kula haku mele. ʻO ia ka manawa i hoʻokumu ai ʻo Yamada i kāna hui - ka Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
ʻO ke alakaʻi ʻana i ka orchestra, ua hana ʻo Yamada i nā hana hoʻonaʻauao. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i mau ʻaha mele i kēlā me kēia makahiki, kahi āna i hana ai ʻaʻole wale i nā mele kahiko, akā i nā mele hou a pau o kona mau hoa. Ua hōʻike pū ʻo ia iā ia iho he mea hoʻolaha ikaika i nā mele ʻōpio Kepani ma nā huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe, i ikaika loa no kekahi mau makahiki. I ka makahiki 1918, ua huakaʻi ʻo Yamada i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ka manawa mua, a i nā makahiki he kanakolu ua loaʻa i ka kaulana honua, e hana ana ma nā ʻāina he nui, ʻelua ʻelua - i 1930 a me 1933 - i ka USSR.
Ma kāna ʻano alakaʻi, aia ʻo Yamada i ke kula ʻEulopa maʻamau. Hoʻohanohano ʻia ka mea alakaʻi ma kāna hana me ka orchestra, ka nānā ʻana i nā kikoʻī, ka ʻenehana maʻalahi a me ka waiwai. Loaʻa iā Yamada ka nui o nā mele: nā keaka, cantatas, symphonies, orchestral a me nā ʻāpana keʻena, nā mele a me nā mele. Hoʻolālā nui ʻia lākou i ke ʻano kuʻuna ʻEulopa, akā aia pū kekahi mau mea o ke mele a me ke ʻano o nā mele Iapana. Ua hāʻawi nui ʻo Yamada i ka ikaika i ka hana aʻoaʻo - ʻo ka hapa nui o nā haku mele a me nā alakaʻi o Iapana i kēia manawa, ʻo kāna mau haumāna.
