From the Composer

Composed in 2011 for a concert for young children (revised in 2017), its content was, however, dedicated to the memory of the composer's mother who passed away that year. It consists of four movements in total: “Prologue,” “Lovely Monologue,” “Indeed!,” and “Becoming a Gentle Flower.”

About the Pieces

1. Prologue Allegretto

The four-bar piano introduction, symbolizing the opening of the suite, is, according to composer Mr. Takeuchi, “a little suggestive.” The first movement, “Prologue,” and the fourth movement, “Becoming a Gentle Flower,” are closely linked. The rhythm of this introduction reappears at the end of the fourth movement, and in the first movement, the melody of “Becoming a Gentle Flower” appears under different harmonies.

2. My Beloved Monologue Moderato-Andante

It begins with an expansive and open clarinet solo. From the Andante section, an introspective clarinet melody, truly like a “monologue,” and recurring piano motifs create a nostalgic, sepia-toned atmosphere.

3. Indeed! Vivace

A note explains that the title “Jissai!” means “Absolutely! Truly!” The piece features changing meters. The continuously shifting meters demand a tense ensemble, propelling the piece through its entirety.

4. Becoming a Gentle Flower Moderato

The piece begins attacca from “Jissai!” (No. 3). It is a work with a warm and gentle melody that deeply resonates.
