Kangetsu  (Listen)	Ishigaki Seizan
This composition was written in late autumn of 1922. The first movement begins with solo which is followed by ensemble at slow tempo. Frequent use of tremolo at the end of each phrase and the change of solo and ensemble are the characteristics of this movement. The second movement is written in three-eight time and has a lilting tempo. It features the scene that the moonlight reflecting on the surface of the lake trembles like ripplet.
