| Atsumi-san's Fifteenth Night for Violin solo (Violin I part of Ukagami) | ||||||
| Sasaki-san's Last Sword for Violin Solo (Violin II part of Ukagami) |
||||||
| Instrumentation: | ||||||
| 2 violins (or 1 violin for each solo piece) | ||||||
| Note: Atsumi-san's Fifteenth Night and Sasaki-san's Last Swords are two independent violin solo pieces, and each piece is totally complete by itself. These pieces can be also performed simoutaneously by two violins, and it should be titled Ukagami. | ||||||
| Durata: 9' | ||||||
| Program note: | ||||||
Ukagami is a compositional encounter of two different personalities. What links them together is the musical timings and the sense of searching, waiting, and anticipation. The energy of concentration is the essential element of this work. |
