THE PIECE

"Monodrame I" is a composition for percussion solo by the Japanese composer Taira Yoshihisa. The piece was composed in 1984 as a first of three pieces with the same that would follow ("Monodrame II" for bassoon solo in 1986 and "Monodrame III" for guitar solo in 1988).

"Monodrame I" is a both technically and musically challenging piece for the performer. It requires a carefully crafted set-up, precise movements and musical creativity, especially for the improvised parts.
The combination of these factors has made it establish itself in the solo, concert and competition repertoire.
