Mushi no Aikata
History (Miyata Kōhachirō):
| Insect Interlude In this second of the Nagauta excerpts for shamisen solo, the wide range of musical devices poses an interpretative challenge to the performer. Although some of the techniques heard here (such as repetition of motives, extreme range, and glissandi) are typical of the solo interludes, the dramatic pauses and frequent shifts of tempo are more often associated with the vocal sections. |
