“Contains an element common to both Chinese music and American jazz: the pentatonic or five-note scale. A fun piece to perform, it’s success depends upon the flutist’s ability to present the changing moods from languid and expressive to intensely driving, primitive and guttural, in a multi-metered dance-like section.” Flute Talk
“A tour-de-force for flute...the work is a fascinating compositional tease and a technical challenge.” The Ithaca Journal
