From liner notes:
Mimi no Ho - The 17 pipes of shô (Japanese mouth organ) are not ordered in pitch. The performer senses the positions of his index finger while playing. It is possible to build movement patterns based upon the proprioception and the kinesthetic feeling. Viola has no frets. It is possible to slide not only a single pitch but also the whole melody line on the fingerboard. This piece is composed with the above observations of the playing methods.
