Part2 is "What should be done is to be invited as a guest conductor and lecturer?"
I (See previous article): First, name recognition is affecting all
But I do not think there is a story unique to the Japanese, the works of composers not known the name there is a tendency to deviate from the selection candidate. That is, it is difficult to sell if not known your name. Please try to check the following shops whether or not your work has been recorded in Japanese CD. This two stores may be searching in English because it is also shown the Japanese and English.
