Reflectors for recorder duo
In this piece, as of individual recorder, another one is a mirror of which reflects herself. However, sometimes each image is distorted. Alto and tenor recorders have some relationship such as ‘sounding the different pitches by the same fingering’, ‘having the different textures at the same pitch’. I composed this piece being conscious of them. Although the structure of this piece is symmetry, it is distorted.
