Takashi KAKO


Having begun to learn classical piano in early childhood, Takashi Kako studied composition at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, and took its graduate course before going on to the Paris National Conservatory of Music. While pursuing his direction as a composer of contemporary music

Olivier Messiaen, that´s indeed a very good and demanding contemporary composer. I think, he died in 1992, isn´t it? (By the way, I have studied composition under Jürg Baur and Krzysztof Meyer, but I don´t compose any more since a longer time, I "just" play piano.)
