That work was commissioned to be a compositional response to the\nDebussy and Ravel string quartets. This particular movement is a response to the their\nsecond movements, which both imitate the Gamelan heard by the composers at the 1889\nWorld Exposition. This movement uses extensive pizzicato and other string colorings (as\na reflection of the Gamelan ensemble's colorful percussion instruments). Each\ninstrument has its own theme (as would a Gamelan instrumentalist) and there is no\ndevelopment of those themes (following Debussy and Ravel's lead). in addition, the\nword \"point\" in the title refers to the pointillistic technique in Impressionist painting\n(from the composers' time period).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--Jennifer Higdon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45078873997391,"sku":"LAWD-448","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/higdon-to-the-point-lawdon","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
