Shostakovich-Tokyo III
It took me a little time this spring to really feel the Shostakovich Preludes I performed on Nikita Storojev’s Jessen Recital. Now that I have lived with them, the humor, sarcasm, pain, and struggle resonate within. This is a short piece of some of my unused Japan footage set to Prelude #22. It is a precursor of the Tokyo Narrative, and a companion piece to Tokyo I and Tokyo II.
