the brother sun, the sister moon

the brother sun, the sister moon for cello and piano (2005) Keiko Takano

the brother sun, the sister moon for cello and piano (2005) Keiko Takano Instrumentation violoncello piano

Score in C duration: 9 minutes

Programme Note This piece was commissioned by Yotaro Yano, who was an organizer of a concert by the cellist Adalber Skocic and the pianist Kanae Furomoto, held in Aioi, Japan in 2005. It has three contrasting sections: the slow static, the middle rather rhythmic section and the dynamic and energetic finale. This piece creates ‘dialogues’ between the two instruments. KT
