Between April and June 2012, pianist Noriko Ogawa presented four recitals titled Reflections on Debussy, in the Mirror of the East, which presented his major piano works, with compositions by Japanese composers Takemitsu, Yoshimatsu, and two commissions from Yoshihiro Kanno (b.1953). The first of the Kanno works presented, on 25 May, was Sky Maze (2011) for piano and organ (featuring Jonathan Scott), oddly placed in a concert otherwise devoted to two-piano repertoire (with Martin Roscoe). The programme note revealed the work was originally to have been premièred in August 2011 at the MUZA Kawasaki concert hall – which was badly damaged by the earthquake and tsunami of the previous March – but offered no clue as to the work's intriguing title.
