Description
This is a work commissioned by the oboist Ami Kaneko.
From the time we were in school,I have had many opportunities to perform with her. I have always been entranced by the beauty of the sound of the oboe and its depth of expression.
With this composition,I sought to create a lilting,lithesome sound,for which the oboe is noted,in a beautiful melody. The delicate splendor of the piano intertwines with the colorful harmony and musical line,releasing,as it were,a gentle but dynamic brightness.
I would be very happy if those who play the oboe could add this to their repertoire.
