     Composer's Notes                      

      Gales whistled with sand flying all over the sky in frontier in the depth of winter.

      People living near here had been struggling with the bad environment for

      generations. In spite of the pain of sands hitting in face, they beat trums and blew

      horns in gales piously to pray a good harvest in the coming year and a lasting

      peace.

     Reviews                

     This is truly a virtuosic composition that, if played well by a very skillful pianist,

      could be quite effective on the stage. The music is utmost passionate and exciting.

      The ever-changing harmonies with unstoppable and highly animated flourishes

      and passages of all kinds create a very dramatic and stirring drive. The waves of

      sound rising and falling over and over are quite dazzling and stimulating. Very

      good indeed.
