🇯🇵Toru Takemitsu ： For Away

For Away is a character piece for piano by Toru Takemitsu, centered on the space between sounds and the changing resonance of each sonority. Short sounds and chords are placed quietly, allowing the silences between them to be felt as part of the music. Rather than moving in a single direction, the piece seems to shift from one moment to another while observing changes in resonance. In performance, it is important not to treat note values mechanically, but to carefully control the resonance created by the pedal and the way each sound fades. Even in the softest passages, the outlines of the sounds should remain clear, creating a spacious world that seems to expand into the distance through natural breathing and delicate balance.
