楽 Gaku – Tadao Sawai (1988)
Koto solo
1. Perpetual Motion
2. Variations
3. Rondo
The character ‘GAKU’ here takes on the double meaning of “Music” and ”Pleasure” or “Fun”.
Pleasure in sound…… Pleasure in rhythm…… flowing… captivating….. dancing…. This work is overtaken with beauty of music, the gentleness of music and at the time it shakes with the passion of music.
“ Fresh and Green the delicate young leaves
One by one they sprout
with the brilliant resonance
They move forward spring “
