YUJI TAKAHASHI

Composer, Pianist

"Musical notation is never perfect. It need not be. Modern notation has been the master plan to be realized. It described the sounds in pitch-time frame with some auxiliary symbols. Musicians tried to realize this image of music on the paper. If music is movement, then notation may tell musicians how to coordinate and how to proceed. It describes the process and not the result. Some traditional notation systems like tablature do this. Music can also use oral transmission, rehearsals, recorded models as well...." Yuji Takahashi
