I. Prelude II. Impromptu III. Tango IV. Finale
Commissioned by the Showa University of Music horn ensemble, this piece was then revised to a brass quartet version in March 2020. It consists of four movements, each with a different character, while the suite is designed to maintain balance throughout. I. Prelude Eb minor, 12/8. A magnificent fanfare showcases the strength of the brass instruments. II. Impromptu F minor, 3/4. It features a recurring melody A over a chromatic accompaniment and a moving lyrical melody B. III. Tango D minor, 4/4. A miniature tango develops with vibrant colors and reaches its peak, but it ends quietly after a sudden strike. IV. Finale Eb minor, 6/8. This technically challenging piece requires intricate passages and precise control similar to woodwin
