| Notes | Echoes of Harmonious Music for 12 String Kayageum and 13 String Koto (2012) is the second piece of Hyo-shin Na’s series of four works for kayageum/koto duo. It is written as a quasi-unison piece where the two instruments follow their own nature (kayageum tends to play music in a triple meter whereas koto almost always plays in a duple rhythm; lavish ornamentation is the norm for a kayageum player and almost anathema for the player of the koto) as well as the path of the piece’s melody.
