About "Tales of White Flowers"
A four-piece cycle written for solo piano. The four white flowers featured in the series has contrasting meanings in Chinese culture. While white means pure and cleanliness and also symbolizes death in Chinese culture. This series is all about connections, including those between people, culture and experiences.

By Norman Lebrecht
see related失左蹤一排，事關忙到癲，繼而病左
二十幾歲人無端端生蛇... 都唔知點解
不過好翻咯！
可能大病一場真係會有後褔：
星期五嚮Distler Performance Hall玩左第一個Tufts concert
Tales of White Flowers：係我compose關於覃花，水仙，菊花同牡丹的solo piano cycle
我同John McDonald一人彈兩首
大家對我o既composition同performance反應都唔錯呀
尤期開心John話perform出離比起just viewing from the score effective！
Halloween weekend無街去，
努力休息，努力趕paper，努力compose埋兩個禮拜後要perform的pieces
大部份都做好了
除了三首關於現代音樂科技的Haiku
星期一心血來潮上網check下d比賽results
見到這個：
朋友仔們應該可以tell邊個係我啦！
下個禮拜有scholarship同grant proposal due
仲有Tufts Chamber Music Concert同out-of-town recording
真係緊張，興奮，又刺激...
下次再補d相啦~*

又被怪病纏身
星期六晚無得好睡
哎... 是over-stress嗎？
又痛又癢
唯有等星期一clinic開門
blisters and bumps
pain, itch and redness
醫生一看，that looks like shingles
解釋一番我只知道是chickenpox virus引起的
回家休息，到internet番查才知道這是香港人說的“生蛇”
星期五還有concert... 點算..
吃葯 休息 吃葯 休息 吃葯 休息

Howard Goodall's Big Bangs
By Howard Goodall
see relatedWhat do you get out of a graduate program?
Struggling through one
I really don't have much to comment about this...
I am too... in search of whether this is really beneficial!
Personally, I feel that sometimes when knowledge goes too far in depth
it's just over-analyzing things
and THAT does bother me... very much indeed~*

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1; The Nutcracker Suite
By Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Claudio Abbado, Martha Argerich, Nicolas Economou, Berliner Philharmoniker
see related連續兩天到Berklee求救
原因是我的“怪”思想在普遍的academy又被攻擊考驗...
我愛傳統，也愛新科技
我恨不得自己有genius的頭腦，能輕易地把兩者融會貫通
偏偏很多所謂的學者就愛堅持傳統與科技互相矛盾
這裡說到的學者，都是藝術學者
氣人的是，做藝術的，不是都比較開通的嗎？
當我還相信大部份藝術人都比較開通的時候，
我可以肯定的說：藝術學者大都是偏離藝術，轉牛角尖的
正要formulate一個paper topic談科技與傳統藝術
真惱人！
唯一的everyday-use headband斷了
整理房間的時候發現make up items多的是
稍閒時一定要多用！
還有Lalo跟Evita...
昨晚為我2009年第五首新作取了個French title ----- Cinq à Sept
其實靈感來自深受Chopin影響的蘇聯作曲家Scriabin
可愛的是...
他的音樂往往給我French music的味道，卻又不像impressionistic那種不實在
明天將會是緊張的第一次 ----- 看PostSeason Baseball Game！
Red Sox vs Angels
Sox正在落後
五場三勝制，明天必定要贏
一下子我還的去pick up一件新Sox tee
緊張~~ 緊張~~~~~
明天，後天兩日假期都有活動
先把功課做好才行
預祝Happy Columbus Day！
