Notes | Duologue for Violin and Koto is a duologue between West and East in five sections. I tried to depict how these two very contrasting individuals/instruments/worlds meet, have trouble, are affected by each other and finally become friends in a direct and humorous way. This piece is specially written for and is dedicated to Pia Liptak and Ryoko Mizutani. [Jung Sun Kang] |
