Programme notes *: The composition "Music for a Fanciful Story" by Toshiharu Kataoka takes the listener into a fascinating world of sound painting and stimulates the imagination to create their own stories. This impressive composition for wind orchestra is characterised not only by its tonal diversity, but also by its open structure, which leaves room for individual interpretations and personal narratives. The music begins with an inviting introduction that prepares the listener for a journey through unknown worlds. The instrumental textures are rich and multi-layered, skilfully interweaving different sections of wind band instruments. Kataoka uses a wide range of timbres and dynamics to create a lively and varied atmosphere. The strength of "Music for a Fanciful Story" lies in the composer's ability to create a musical environment that leaves room for the listener's imagination. The composition is deliberately open to interpretation and encourages the listener to develop their own stories and images while listening. Musical motifs and themes that run through the piece provide a basis for different emotional impressions and leave room for different storylines. The structured freedom in the composition allows each listener to create a unique connection to the music. Kataoka strikes a balance between complexity and accessibility by incorporating subtle details into the score that can be discovered with repeated listenings. The sonic journey that "Music for a Fanciful Story" offers is therefore not only a purely acoustic experience, but also an invitation to creative co-creation. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
