This is my first work for piano, except for studies. The 'bell' and 'cloud' in the subtitle are metaphors of motifs used in this piece. The motif representing the sound of the 'bell' in Le gibet, the second of Gaspard de la nuit by Maurice Ravel, is transferred here and tolled insistently from the beginning. The motif gradually loses its figure and transforms into tremolos which represent 'clouds'. I name the process 'Disincarnations.' The work represents the transforming process itself. -Kenji Sakai.
