* Piano Concerto 'Memo Flora' Written as a 'Memorandum on Flowers', this Concerto for piano consists of three movements, Flower, Petals and Bloom, that are, respectively, fast, slow and fast. The words 'Memo Flora' were written by the poet Kenji Miyazawa on the cover of a notebook that contained notes for a diagram of the placement of flowers (melody) in a flowerbed (score).II Petals - A light Andante, like flower petals floating on the water. A faint song on the quietly flowing water appears and disappears like a dream of long ago.
