Music commentary
This work is a live concert with the Vienna Music Composers Association in 2006 at the Vienna Music University I took the melody of the song "Thinking Up", which was taken from the early Taiwanese Pingtung, the famous bard singer Chen Da, as the main material of this song. But many are fragments hidden in the song, without revealing the original song. The music started with the cello's stippling style, followed by piano continuity and response, and then the violin appeared a response-type stippling style, and started the whole music. In the middle section, a more obvious "thought song" folk song melody appeared. Later, it entered a more abstract answering type. Finally, in the overtone performance of the violin, the three instruments slowly entered the end in harmony.
