The idea of this piece came
from the practice of the Chinese calligraphy. Each character is formed
by writing one stroke at a time; the strokes follow a specific sequence
and are structurally related. The composer believes that the form and
style of a Chinese character is merely the appearance, while the "inner
characteristics" of every stroke is the core of the art. This emphasis
on "a stroke" is the main theme of this piece. The composer attempts to
connect the color of the sounds - developed from pitches, dynamics, and
changes in rhythm - to the art of Chinese calligraphy.
