The Japanese composer, Toshio Hosokawa, is a wanderer between the cultural worlds of East and West. According to his own statements, he has developed in his home country a feeling for the nature of a single tone, for vertical sound, while in the West he became familiar with the construction of tonal relationships, the horizontal sound. As Hosokawa writes, the violin in the Vertical Study III, composed in 1994, symbolizes the inner voice of a human, the piano stands for nature and for the universe that surrounds man. The silence corresponds to the boundless depths of the human soul. This music exudes peace and serenity and invites to meditation.
