Seeking to transfer the soul of brass into ink alone, I carried the line in one go, in a flow of three strokes, from the mouthpiece through the U-shaped curve to the fully open bell. At the rim of the bell I pressed the brush in most deeply, entrusting to the thickness of the line the expanse of sound bursting forth. When I switched to a fine brush and set down the rings and dots of the keys, it became a stroke from which, like a jazz improvisation, a rhythm seems somehow audible.

真鍮の魂を墨一色に移そうと、マウスピースからU字のカーブ、開き切るベルまでを三筆の流れで一気に運びました。ベルの縁で最も深く筆を押し込み、音が噴き出す広がりを線の太さに託しています。細筆に持ち替えて鍵の環と点を打てば、ジャズの即興のごとく、どこか拍子が聞こえてきそうな一笔になりました。
