Atsumi-san's Fifteenth Night II for Cello solo (Cello part of Ukagami II )
 
 
Instrumentation:

Original Ukagami is written for two violins, and Ukagami II is a version for violin and cello.
 
Note: Atsumi-san's Fifteenth Night II and Sasaki-san's Last Swords are two independent solo pieces, and each piece is totally complete by itself. These pieces can be also performed simoutaneously, and it should be titled Ukagami II .
 
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.
