Album Artist
Play ButtonArt of the Koto - The music of Japan Played by Kimio Eto Koto : Etō Kimio
A Spring

Another composition by Mr. Eto, suggesting the play of fresh water gushing forth from a mountainside. Notice here, as in Mr. Eto's other compositions, that phrases and figures representative of both the Japanese and Western traditions have skillfully and harmoniously been brought together in music characteristic of the "New Japanese Music" movement. The extreme flexibility of pitch made possible by exerting pressure or tension below the bridges is particularly noticeable in this number.
