PROGRAM NOTE

グラウンド 3歳の息子が口ずさんだメロディに基づく主題と変奏
Ground ーTheme and variations on a nonsense chant by my three-year-old sonー

この曲の主題は、3歳の息子が「ぴーとぶって　ぴーとぶって　ぴーとぶって　ぶー」という、意味不明な詞で口ずさんだ歌を12音全てを用いた旋律として解釈したもの。テンポが毎回変わるが、これは息子の歌そのものがそのように極端なテンポ変化を伴うものだったことに由来する。ピアニストは7種の楽器を持ち替え、ヴァイオリニストも毎回奏法が変わる。

The theme of this piece was based on my three-year-old son's nonsense chant, "peete-vtte, peete-vtte, peet-vtte, boo". Using this song, I wrote a piece with a twelve-tone series. The tempi shift constantly, which derives from the nature of my son's singing. The pianist alternates between seven instruments while the violinist plays with different techniques in every variation.

PROGRAM NOTE

Quix

題名はquixotix(ドンキホーテのような)から取られた。ひどく非実用的かつ非現実的でありながらも、決して否定的には感じられない。それも、ユートピア構想が驚くような結果をもたらすと私自身強く信じているからかもしれない。

Quix is a word derived from "quixotic", adjective created after Cervantes's "Don Quixote", meaning something that is foolishly impractical, not realistic, but here it's not intended as a negative concept, since I firmly believe in the thought-provoking value of Utopia as a way of thinking that could drive us to get amazing results.
