Takashi Kako: Waltz in the evening glow
加古隆 - 黄昏のワルツ
Takashi Kako was born in 1947. After studying composition as an undergraduate and graduate student at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, in 1971 he went to France on a scholarship from the French government and studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Olivier Messiaen. In 1973, while still a student, he made his debut in Paris as an improvising pianist. After returning to Japan in 1980, he established his own musical style incorporating elements from classical music, contemporary music and jazz into his compositional and performance activities, including works commissioned for the cinema, stage and orchestral performance.
Very soothing music, thanks for sharing!

Markus, you are better than any Japanese in playing this piece. If you like composition by Mr Kako, why don't you try Mr Senju? Shukumei (or Fate) is an interesting piece to perform by the piano. Maybe you already played it, though.
