Thus its three movements bear the suggestive titles \"Rocks, Clouds and Wind\", \"Musings on the Mountain\", and \"Cascades, Whirlpools and Rapids\", and its pitch content is based on Chinese variable modes. The open strings, stopped notes, and harmonics of the cello part can also be taken to represent Taoist concepts of earth, humanity, and heaven, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough originally commissioned by Paul Tobias with a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts' American Bicentennial program, the composition of the concerto was interrupted for over a decade. Between Chou's first draft of the cello part in 1978 and the completion of the concerto in 1992, the piece was radically reworked, and it received its premiere in 1993 by Janos Starker and the American Composers Orchestra under the baton of Dennis Russell Davies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41274769539151,"sku":"EP67508","price":163.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/afc910901625e48dd8cd553e303a0fb8.jpg?v=1753633533","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/chou-cello-concerto-peters","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
