December 13, 20205 yr Comments from the composer: "This is a piece for orchestra that I wrote based on Yoshimatsu's theme. The theme in it's original form (as in both the rhythms and the pitches of the theme) does not appear anywhere in my composition. However, I kept the piece in it's original key of D minor, so the pitches of the original piece should be easy to spot for anyone looking through the score. I also used inversions of the theme, retrogrades and inversion retrogrades (loosely rather than strictly). With respect to the inversions and inversion retrogrades I used tonal/diatonic versions rather than "real" inversions (I transposed them diatonically into the key/pitch level I wanted them to occupy). This is a medley where each of the themes that comes up is a variation of the theme. Also, the bass-lines, accompaniment figures and counter-melodies are also based on the theme. Although the harmonic progressions aren't directly derived from the theme. I hope you enjoy listening!"
