This champion of contemporary piano music is well-connected to composers around the world and often asks them to write new pieces for her. They often comply resulting in many works being performed at her concerts for the first time.
Yazawa differentiates herself from other classically trained musicians by utilizing mixed media, a fresh approach that includes electronically produced sounds. This may be why composers are happy to oblige her requests.
