Ming Wang
Im Moment der Verklärung
Two violins, viola, violoncello, Piano
Duration, c.12 minutes
This composition is about two totally contrasting musical conditions: one type of passage characterized by chromatic lines and chords, which forcefully knock and grate against one another, creating hypertension, can unexpectedly flip over into a sound world of reassuring, transparent pentatonicism — this contrast conjures up a dark landscape suddenly lit up when it reflects light coming from outside.
