Introduction to the work

Taking inspiration from Song's poems, "Wisp of the Landscape" is divided into four uninterrupted movements, each carved with its own unique personality. This piece does not deliberately make the scene figurative, but through the use of texture formed by successive lines and the contrast of the relationship between light and dark timbre, as well as the title of each movement as a guide, attempts to create the imagination of "fog" , "water" and "cloud", that is, the connection between man and nature. In addition, this piece is intended to emphasize the internal dynamics of each note gap in the development of music, as well as the process of surging, transmutation, and disappearance after the note is triggered.
