| Abstract [eng] |
Tōru Takemitsu (1930-1996) left a deep mark on the history of world music. He was a composer and essayist, uniquely synthesizing Western and Japanese aesthetics and sound ideals. The music of this, mostly self-taught, composer features elements of Western classical, jazz and traditional Japanese music. But not eclectically, but to combine of his philosophical ideas. Compared to other instruments, Takemitsu has written many works for flute solo and unusually composed ensembles with flute. The impression is that the flute was one of his favorite instruments, entrusted with important musical roles. In doing so, he is close to probably the most important inspirer of his music and aesthetics - Claude Debussy. |
