Herbst-Lied, for clarinet and string quartet, Score and parts

ISMN: 979-0-65001-180-8

The title Herbst-Lied is a word I feel in the tone colour of the clarinet. While it is possible that I associate this word with the music of Mozart and Brahms and their immortal clarinet quintets, it is also possible that, because I am Japanese, the signs of the late autumn unique to Japan and the human sadness inherent in them are incorporated in my music as well.
