After studying composition and conducting from 1952 to 1958 in Tokyo he moved to Berlin where he continued his studies at the Hochschule für Musik Berlin (West), as student of e.g. Josef Rufer and Boris Blacher. In 1962 he returned to Japan. In 1969 he was invited to Berlin by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to take part in their \"Berliner Künstlerprogramm\". Since then he has been active there as well as in Japan as a composer and conductor. His compositions have been performed all over the world. Concerts as \"Composer's Portrait of Maki Ishii\" have been held in Paris at the Festival d'Automne 1978, at the Berliner Festwochen 1981, in Geneva at the Été Japonais 1983, in Tokyo at the Music Today 1987, at the Suntory Music Foundation Orchestral Concert 1989, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra 1990, in the Hague at the Residentie Orchestra 1992, to name but a few.","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43804624945206,"sku":"MK05324","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/ishii-thirteen-drums-p-os.jpg?v=1773453926"},{"product_id":"bone-alphabet-ferneyhough","title":"Ferneyhough-Bone Alphabet-P","description":"Bone Alphabet by Brian Ferneyhough for solo percussion. Duration: 11'30\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBone Alphabet came about as the result of a request by Steven Schick for a solo work for a group of\u003cbr\u003einstruments small enough to be transportable as part of the performer's personal luggage when traveling by air. I responded by leaving the precise instruments to be utilised unspecified, other than by requiring each of the seven sound sources selected to be capable of supporting an extremely wide range of dynamics and of having closely similar attack and decay characteristics to the other instruments. An additional constraint was that no two adjacent instruments making up the gamut of possibilities were to be constructed of the same material (so that, for instance, a chinese gong could not be located next to a cow bell).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work was composed as a succession of thirteen distinct types of musical comportment, each made up of a different number of subsections. A second stage of the compositional process involved detaching these subsections from their original context and redistributing them in a kaleidoscopic and relatively unpredictable manner, so that the rhetorical language of Bone Alphabet reveals itself as a non-linear succession of unprepared contrasts and unexpected conjunctions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn spite of its radically limited instrumentation, the work is conceived polyphonically throughout, the individual voices being distinguished primarily by sharply etched articulational characters, given the same group of seven sounds is shared by all voices. It is the principal task of the interpreter to discover ways of surmounting the initial timbral constraints by recourse to a compensatingly capacious reservoir of stamina and physical dexterity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBone Alphabet was given its first performance by Steven Schick, its dedicatee, in San Diego, February\u003cbr\u003e1992.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Brian Ferneyhough","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805016588342,"sku":"P07389","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/ferneyhough-bone-alphabet-p.jpg?v=1773458394"},{"product_id":"feldman-king-of-denmark-b-v-cro-p","title":"Feldman-King of Denmark-B\/V\/Cro.\/P","description":"Number of Players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 4+\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: Vibraphone, Bells, Crotales, Cymbals, Gongs, Skin Instruments, Triangle, Open Percussion\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805018030134,"sku":"P06963","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/the-king-of-denmark-for-percussion-solo-by-feldman.jpg?v=1777067305"},{"product_id":"globokar-corporel-body-os","title":"Globokar-Corporel-Body OS","description":".","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805240393782,"sku":"P8673","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"cage-one-4-1990-os","title":"Cage-One 4 (1990) OS","description":"The score contains six time brackets for the left hand and eight for the right hand.
