Thanks for uploading such an important video ! Kinshi Tsuruta, Katuya Yokoyama and the compositions of Toru Takemistu are my favorite ! If you have more of the great Kinshi Tsuruta please share !
The score is written down as staff notation except the cadenza, which is written down as graphic notation. So there is scope for sonething new in the cadenza each time so to speak. To freely improvise would be very from the tradition both Tsuruta and Yokoyama come from. However, they probably played differently each time regarding timing, and slight changes of embellishments etc. So what they probably learned back from the record is the timing of how the cadenza was played. Live, they signal ea
Kiku, really insightful information. I had heard a rumor that the original performance was entirely improvised and was written down later. Do you know anything about that?
I was a student of Yokoyama-sensei and spent time with Tsuruta-sensei and him in NYC in 1985 when they were playing November Steps with the Netherlands Dance Theatre. The choreographer (like some below) did not realize that their parts had improvisation and had set movements in exact time to every gesture from the Denon/Phillips recording. Yokoyama and Tsuruta had to go back to their hotel rooms and learn their 'parts' off the record. These days the parts have become fixed.
I felt that it was reminiscent of The Heike Monogatari , the best masterpiece of Military Writing . How is it ？ From Tokyo in Japan Which national are you watching this video ？
Actually, the biwa and shakuhachi parts left room open for some improvisation. See the section "aleatory techniques" in the Wikipedia article for Takemitsu; the citation is from Peter Burt's "The Music of Toru Takemitsu."
「11月」がすべて、この音楽にギュッと凝縮されている。透明さ、素朴さ。暗いとも明るいともつかない、「晩秋」の荒々しさ。まさに自然が吟っている。凄い世界観です。
🧖鶴田錦史師🥺懐かしい‼️生前は本当に有難う御座いました🙇🎶
琵琶の音が夕暮れに響き、何かの存在と共鳴する。この世の者ではない誰かと。
鳥肌立ったゼェ！
後半特にヤベェぜ
神か、何かだ
なんで11月の草と訳せる曲名なのかと思っていたけれど、なるほど琵琶と尺八の響きが11月頃の草原の雰囲気っぽさを感じる……🥹
オーケストラを琵琶と尺八の引き立て役にするってなかなか難しい発想。

This is so beyond the mind. Thank you.

amazing. If only it were in stereo.
西と東の融合とか、対決とか、というのではなく、あくまで琵琶と尺八の曲であり、オーケストラは２つの楽器から発せられる音のための空間と座標を作っているという印象です。
ソロ楽器（琵琶と尺八の協奏）とオーケストラの分離が効いた協奏曲であると
That is a SMOKING version. Beautiful improvisation from Tsuruta and Yokoyama
倍音、凄まじ。
so awesome
Hey, thanks!
great silence

this is not improvisation, it is all written scores.
尺八、二分間のロングトーンはあり得ない。
何がすごいのか１ミリもわからないが、 居眠りはダメだろ。5:33
