Nikolasssee is the place that I have been living for
about six weeks in Berlin when I studied with Professor
Samuel Adler in the summer of 2015. Fantastic environment,
lovely host family and everything there brought me wonderful
experiences. Also Nikolassee gave me inspiration of this
piano piece. The peaceful nature made me meditate, and recover from anxiety.

Nikolassee,Berlin

This piece is written for two flutes on the basis of two different cultures.
They both have unique timbres. The Chinese bamboo flute plays a role of bird that is very vigorous. The European folk flute plays the role of birds that is more sweet and clever. This piece presents a story of two birds meeting in a forest. They fought when they first meet. But they became friends finally. Some background sounds of real birds, thunder and rain added for helping to create the atmosphere.

Snowing makes people can't stop shivering. If I played the violin in the snow, it would sounds like this......

There are two features in the work, one is symmetry, and another is imitation.
Symmetry:
1, there are three parts in the first piece; the twelve pitches serial is symmetric in every part.
2, both R in the first part and third part are symmetric with respect to the P.
3, in the second part, RI and RI are symmetric with respect to the RI6.
4, the first part and the third part are symmetric with respect to the second part., 
5, the symmetry in the third piece is imperfect, the R7 and R in the first part reveals the internal association of parallel perfect fifth. This makes a comparison in its own part and with the first piece.
6, the second piece has only one part, and it is the symmetric axis to the first and third pieces.
This looks like a mirror.

Imitation:

1, in three groups of notes, the intervals between the first three notes of the second group imitate the intervals of the first group, and the intervals between the first four notes of the third group imitate the intervals of the second group, this looks like a follower.
2, the rhythm of the low part imitates the rhythm of the high part. Sometimes, the low part and the middle part imitate the high part alternately. This looks like a follower.

The CALL was inspired by an anime heroine, who was always convinced of beautiful things in the world. She called back apathetic and numb people by her heart full of sadness but hope. Her experience struck a responsive chord in my heart, and I composed the CALL. I wish that people will never stop longing for beauty even if in the deep desperation. I wish the CALL could awaken the people.
From loneliness, sadness and hesitation to firmness, persistence and warmness, the CALL ends in peace, it is an awakening process.

The song is composed for an ancient poem that shows a woman missing her parted lover. The woman was surrounded by beautiful landscape, but had bitterness in her heart; she could only hum this sorrow song to miss her lover, who parted with her maybe forever.
