Program Note|解説
The first movement from “Sonata for solo violin No.1 BWV 1001” is underlain.
In order to reuse parchment, which was once valuable, the text already written on it is erased and new text is overwritten, which is called a palimpsest.In this work, I removed some of Bach’s notes, wrote music over them, and added a coda at the end of the piece, as if I were using the same piece of parchment over and over again.This piece may also exhibit the same characteristics as some of my previous works, such as the impossibility of a canonical transmission of the Western art music tradition, the materialistic relationship with canonical works, and the juxtaposition of heterogeneous materials.It goes without saying, however, that the aim was to create something interesting as a construction without concept.

J.S.バッハの『無伴奏ヴァイオリンのためのソナタとパルティータ』の「ソナタ第一番」(BWV1001)から第一楽章が下敷きとなっている。
かつて貴重であった羊皮紙を再利用するために、既に書かれた文面を消して新しい文字が上書きされたそれをパリンプセストという。本作ではあたかも羊皮紙を使いまわすように、バッハの書いた音符たちの一部を削除し、その上から音楽を書きつけ、曲の終わりにコーダをつけ加えた。
これまでのわたしのいくつかの作品にもみられたような、西洋芸術音楽の伝統の正統な伝承の不可能性、正典的作品との即物的な関係、異質なマテリアルの並置などの特徴がこの曲にもあらわれているだろう。とはいえコンセプトを抜きに構築物として興味深いものを目指したことは言うまでもない。
