Composer's Note In January 1999 I was asked by Tomoko Mukaiyama to write a new Piano piece for her. Originally she requested that the piece should synchronize with techno music chosen by her which wouldbe pre-recorded on a tape. As we discussed the piece over the following months we realized that a solo Piano work without a tape part would be more substantial. However the idea of techno remained constantly between us. FinallyI wrote a set of three pieces entitled Techno Etudes. The idea of the whole piece can be summarized with the three key words; techno rhythm and speed.Karen Tanaka
