ゆき解しずく Yukidoke Shizuku (The Sound of Melting Snow) – Shingo Edo (2000)
This piece was composed for a koto duet and depicts the scene of the thaw season – a resonant sound of snow melting in the crisp cool air. The harmony of the two kotos expresses the arrival of spring. I hope my rendition of the piece conveys the sense of spring’s beginning and the joy of new life.
