quartet mvt 2 attempt

Had a long day today, reflected a little on this musical idea but it didn't really go anywhere. I'm going to give it another go tomorrow

one of my erhu compositions from last year :)

here's a piece i composed last year for two erhus and one zhonghu (like an alto erhu) for any composers who would like a reference to some non-graphic contemporary piece or just out of curiosity

i can't find my original program notes so here are a few sentences i just wrote:

a trio in three movements, each depicting a different motion of unfurling. the first, a sort of blooming, akin to the blossoming of tea leaves in hot water. the second, a more explosive rendition, not unlike fireworks. and the third, a conceptual growing of something seemingly elusive, like the unfurling of a rumour, or even the truth. performers are Dr Nicholas Ng (erhu), Luke Zhang (erhu), and me (zhonghu)!
