From the Composer

The theme for this composition was to express the contrast between Tokyo and New York through music. When I first considered what images these two cities evoked for me, it was the 'well-developed transportation networks' and the 'speed-driven society' that emerged as a result. This dizzying 'speed-driven society' was expressed through sharp, irregular rhythms, and by incorporating jazz elements like boogie-woogie and swing, which evoke America, resulting in a thrilling work that portrays an incessant storm of rhythm.

About the Piece - Performance Tips

Composed in 2012. It was premiered on January 20, 2013, at Salon Tessera by Thomas Piercy (Cl.) and Mika Tanaka (Pf.).

The piece is in ternary form. The clarinet part demands virtuosic technique, requiring a performance with sharp contrasts, including accents, wide melodic leaps, and the jazz elements in the middle section. The piano part requires a crisp accompaniment, achieved through clear differentiation between accented and unaccented chords and notes.

As the work has ties to New York, the middle section, marked "Boogie-Woogie," is written with a jazz sensibility; the piano part is Kapustin-esque, and the clarinet part features polyrhythms with a "Swing" indication.
