TOSHI ICHIYANAGI'S PIANO MEDIA: FINDING PARALLELISMS TO PATTERNS IN JAPANESE CULTURE

FOWLER, MICHAEL D

Abstract Details

2005, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Piano.
This thesis is concerned with the musical analysis of Toshi Ichiyanagi’s 1972 solo piano composition Piano Media, and an examination of musical processes and considerations that mirror and parallel patterns of traditional Japanese culture. Through brief studies of language construction, Zen, Pachinko and traditional aesthetics, analogies and references can be used to highlight congruent musical structures and predilections in Ichiyanagi’s work. The final goal is to define the work not only within musical terms of analysis, but also within a cultural context.
