Shinkansen to Kyoto (Solo Clarinet and Piano)
In 2019, I rode the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) throughout Japan. These trains reach speeds of 200 mph, though you don't feel it as a passenger. The low hum of the train inspires a trance-like, meditative state as the Japanese countryside comes and goes. This work is meant to invoke the experience of watching the countryside go by while thoughts drift in and out, meditating on the marvel of engineering beneath your feet.
Difficulty 3.5/5
Duration ~ 4 mins.
