Takemitsu

I had a wonderful experience today with one of the other percussionts. His name is Sho. He asked me to play a Toru Takemitsu work with him entitled "Cross Hatch." It is only 1 minute in length, but is a simply beautiful piece. It is so sweet, genuine and pretty. We had our first rehearsal today, and it went really well. I have never played with another percussionist and enjoyed it so much. Sho is a wonderful player, very sensitive, and has a great sense of phrasing, and musicality. Despite the language barrier, we had a productive rehearsal. It was a rehearsal that I walked away from feeling I knew more about Sho, and Mr Takemitsu.
