| Popis: | 紀要論文 This paper aims to reveal the reality of writing music scores, exploring into a music score, “Aki no Shirabe” composed and originally hand-brailled by a Japanese blind koto musician and composer, Miyagi Michio (1894 - 1956). In the study, the braille score is compared with printed scores to examine differences. Then, it is attempted to clarify how Miyagi tried to express Japanese koto music using braille scores that were based on the Western music system. The comparative analysis of two types of scores showed some distinctive results as follows. The parts where Western music methods, such as tremolos and tuplets, are used show differences in notation due to that the score was written with listening to Miyagi’s actual performance and to different interpretations occurred in revising printed scores. When the use of two hands or kakeai that more than two parts play in turn was noted, the notation used for keyboard instruments was applied because the braille score cannot express such correspondence precisely. The braille score holds more detailed information, including explanations of musical symbols and notes for performing, than the printed scores. The content of information is very basic for beginners to learn reading braille scores. |
