Ballades for Koto Solo

Enjoy performing TEN diverse pieces for solo marimba, originally composed by Minoru Miki for solo koto. The pieces range in difficulty level from easy-advanced, and all are between 2:00-4:00 long.

The various glisses, grace notes and embellishments are meant to emulate the unique sounds created in the original koto works. Miki has heard these arrangements and has given his approval for their publication and performance.
