Y. Akutagawa: 24 Preludes - Piano Pieces for Children
As a clear homage to Johann Sebastian Bach(1685–1750), Yasushi Akutagawa(1925–1989) wrote that his set would “make one circuit of the circle of fifths in 24 pieces.” What he aimed for, however, was music that would not be confined to being “for children.” He stated that, while writing in an accessible manner, he wanted it to be music whose pleasures adults could “share” with children.
Within this rich variety of character, what is most often singled out as unmistakably Akutagawa is the insistent use of repetition(ostinato). It slips naturally into everyday listening—and with each return, it offers fresh discoveries.
