Largely self-taught as a composer, he initially drew inspiration from Western classical music, particularly composers such as Debussy, before increasingly exploring the relationship between Western musical traditions and the sounds, instruments and aesthetics of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNature, silence and musical colour play an important role throughout Takemitsu’s work, and his distinctive approach can be heard across orchestral, chamber and solo music. He was also a prolific composer for film, writing scores for more than 90 films during his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakemitsu received numerous international honours, including the UNESCO-IMC Music Prize and the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, and his highly individual musical language continues to hold an important place in contemporary repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61087402754382,"sku":"SLB 00180800","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/slb00180800_0_97eb6d22-b144-42ed-a197-f34ecaedfbe9.jpg?v=1791286622","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/takemitsu-masque-continu-incidental-no-1-for-two-flutes","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
