The japanese temporary music has an important place in the flutists repertoire. Using the language of the new occidental music, the japanese composers have been to include some elements taken from the classical japanese music.

This masterclass offers to present, in the first part, the techiniques and aesthetical concepts of the classical music for shakuhachi, the traditional japanese bamboo flute.

The importance of the tone, breathing, silence, the phrases gestual structure, traditinnal techniques like eolian sounds, pitch bending, bisbigliando, flatterzunge, etc…, will be demonstrated through early music extracts, and then related to modern japanese music for flute. The students will discover the playing of the shakuhachi.

In the second part, 2 pieces will be studied, for solo flute:

Kazuo Fukushima, Shun-San

Toru Takemitsu, Itinerant.

The masterclass is open to any public as an auditor, and to the flutists who wish to present and study one of these two pieces.
