"Vivian Fung's "Pizzicato for String Quartet"
identifies the characteristic sounds of ancient
Chinese and Asian instruments, among them the ch'in,
the pipa, and the Indonesian gamelan. Her deft
adaptation of these sounds to the string quartet
includes a delightful moment when the pizzicato
texture dissolves into pure percussion on the body of
the instruments." - From the liner notes of the Telarc
CD Recording with the Ying Quartet.
Contains "Miniatures for Clarinet & String Quartet" in four movements.
"The last work on the [Composers In The Loft] CD,
Vivian Fung's Miniatures, brings the sound of the
clarinet to an otherwise piano-and-strings program.
Miniatures is a set of variations on an Uighur
folksong -- the Uighur people being of Western China,
along the Silk Road. The string quartet [has] . . .
ingenious rhythmic patterns and piquant harmonies,
while the clarinet part is extremely virtuosic --
splendidly played by John Bruce Yeh of the CSO." - Joe
