notably
The Piano Concerto consists of three movements, and there one can recognize the influence of Bartok, Prokofiev and others, as well as that of a Japanese composer who also studied in France and whom Yashiro regarded as his rival, Akira Miyoshi, notably his Piano Concerto of 1962 and Concerto for Orchestra written two years later.
General definition of 'notably' is, I think, 'extremely', 'especially' or something like that. But it doesn't seem to me that I can apply such general definiton here, or can I?
How should I interpret it? Something like 'Akira Miyoshi, who is notable for his Piano Concerto...'?

I know.
But, in terms of definition, like mine, yours is also different form those of dictionaries anyway, isn't it?

Hi guys,
Here's how I see it. The sentence is awkwardly worded, because it cites people as influences, and then in the same breath tries to cite their works as influences. The length of the sentence also places so many words and thoughts between 'influences' and 'notably' that the grammatical relationship is almost lost. Personally, I'd break this into two sentences.

Thank you for the clear explanation, Clive!

No wonder I got confused.
