Subject: Kawase Duet/Trio Scores?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Reply-to: Shakuhachi@communication.ucsd.edu
I've been working with the Int'l Shakuhachi Society's Kawase archive
now for a few months and noticed something a bit strange. The
pieces are all either solo or sankyoku.
What's strange about this is that I have three pieces that are
clearly of Kawase origin (they printed the notation) that are:
1. Not listed on the "official" list of Kawase pieces (as provided
by Ron Nelson, of the ISS).
2. Either duet or trio pieces.
The pieces are:
a Kinko version of Kogarashi (usually thought of as a Tozan
requiem piece, this one is simply the wind in the trees
with two shakuhachi going back and forth);
a trio version of Kumoi-jishi (2 ea. 1.8 and a ni-shaku);
and a duet version of Chidori-no-kyoku for two 1.8s.
Are these pieces some subset of a line of Kawase notation (and
perhaps shakuhachi practice) that I've somehow missed in the
discussions and literature? Do other folks out there know about
and play these pieces? Are they just remnants of a part of
shakuhachi culture that has somehow quietly died out?
Ever curious,
bj
