The Chinese title TING YIN has a philosophical background and bears the following meaning: allow yourself to be catpured by what you hear, immerse yourself within the very nature of the sound and experience the flow of time. When performing this music, it could be helpful to imagine a calligraphist and his subtle reactions to the qualities of the paper he is writing on. Shaping the flow and consistency of a note is similar to the art of a painter who exerts delicate pressure on the brush and care-fully regulates the speed of his movements. All players should act and react with careful awareness of, and attention on what they hear.
