![]() Resembling an antique gardening tool, the bass clarinet is not the most grateful instrument for a solo role, limited in range and expression. Only the prominent use of the opening motif of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in the closing section seems a bit twee, distracting one from Musgrave’s own compelling musical argument. Otherwise Autumn Sonata is an effective work, evocative, concise (20 minutes), and smartly scored. Near the end a second offstage bass clarinet echoes the soloist’s line. There is a violently explosive march-like middle section (con furore), followed by a searching Lamentoso. The solo line is closely woven with the undulating mystery of the orchestral fabric. Befitting the concerto’s title, the music is autumnal, restless and dream-like, cast in a dark expressive vein with ominous militaristic shadows in the martial rhythms and percussion writing. Most attention Thursday night focused on Autumn Sonata, a bass clarinet concerto by Thea Musgrave, which was being heard in its belated American premiere.Ĭast in six unbroken sections, the 1994 work takes inspiration from the haunting poems of the Austrian writer Georg Trakl, who died in a Polish hospital during the First World War. With powerful, richly eloquent, and immaculately balanced performances, Mälkki’s sensational debut is easily the most impressive CSO podium bow of recent seasons. Mälkki, music director of Ensemble InterContemporain, managed to not only pull off each work on this demanding program with striking success but sparked the CSO to some of their finest playing of the year. premiere of a bass clarinet concerto, flanked that assignment with two challenging works by Charles Ives, and closed the evening with Richard Strauss’s epic tone poem, Also sprach Zarathustra. The Finnish conductor led the CSO Thursday night in the U.S. One certainly can’t say that Susanna Mälkki opted for the programming road most taken in her Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut. Lawrie Bloom applaud composer Thea Musgrave folllowing the performance of her "Autumn Sonata" Thursday night at Symphony Center. This mesmerising performance conjures up a whirlwind of sound, ranging from simple cuckoo noises to a collage of the French and American national anthems, without once losing its grip.Conductor Susanna Mälkki and soloist J. The orchestration has a Straussian depth and complexity, swept along by a Romantic undercurrent that is enthralling but unpredictable. ![]() With The Seasons, twenty years on, Musgrave creates an astonishing tapestry of sound – as rich and diverse as the paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art that inspired it. ![]() It swoops and flutters with dramatic energy, giving the performance a raw excitement, despite the relative austerity of the musical language. The soloist in the Clarinet Concerto physically moves around the orchestra to confront and cajole various concertante groups of instruments (including an accordion). Spanning 25 years of Thea Musgrave’s career as a composer, these three pieces demonstrate a consistently vivid orchestral imagination.

Many Japanese also air-dry their clothes on the balcony. (If you will be staying at an apartment, be sure to ask ahead of time!) Many modern apartments will have a clothes rack in the bath room – and a dryer in there as well. If you are staying in a flat then you will probably find the washing machine in the bathroom, but no dryer. Keep in mind that Japanese dryers aren’t always as powerful as Western ones, and doing multiple cycles can add up. Find an empty dryer – make sure you don’t fill it up too much. However, costs can vary from 100 yen for 10 minutes to 30 minutes.ġ. Though, it is possible to find a washer dryer which can do everything. Unless you want to take a pile of wet clothing back to your accommodation you will need to use a dryer. In addition they may not always wash with hot water. One thing to keep in mind, especially if you are from a country where washing machines can take a long time, is that in Japan it only takes 20 to 40 minutes. Unless you have happened across a particularly old washing machine a timer should be displayed showing how long it will take. ![]() In the coin slot put in the correct number of coins.

Once you have got your detergent, but again before going to the laundromat, make sure you have change. In addition the brand おしゃれ着 (Osharegi) is usually scented too so you will want to avoid this one if you want unscented. Tip: If the detergent has something like 香り (kaori) then most likely it has a special scent or fragrance, so if you want non-scented then avoid these. If in doubt, ask the staff: Kore wa hyouhakuzai desu ka? / Does this contain bleach? Regular detergents can come in powder, liquid and capsule form, and popular brands besides Ariel includeアタック (Attack) and Nanox (in English). You may be curious whether the detergent has bleach or not, in this case you need to look for: 漂白剤 (Hyouhakuzai) which means it contains bleach. However, once you have found the detergents you might be wondering what exactly you are buying! Luckily there are some international brands which you can easily recognize because of their brand logo, but in general when looking at detergent there are some key things to watch out for.
