Rain (for Violin and Piano) - Ryuichi Sakamoto

A duo arrangement of Rain by Ryuichi Sakamoto, preserving the original structure and emotional pacing. The solo instrument carries the lyrical line with spacious phrasing, while the piano faithfully reflects the harmonic and rhythmic language of the original composition.

The piece emphasizes subtle dynamics and tonal control rather than virtuosic display, allowing the two performers to build a layered and intimate atmosphere. It is well suited for recitals, memorial concerts, and performance videos seeking refined emotional depth.

Positions required include Violin up to 5th position, Viola up to 1st position, and Cello up to 2nd position. The writing allows performers to focus on tone production and expressive nuance within a comfortable technical range.
