S. Eliot 在 Four Quartets 裡的那句話：「at the still point, there the dance is」。這首弦樂四重奏比較像是一種慢慢展開的狀態，建立在歌唱性的線條上，在靜止與流動之間來回交織。音樂沒有很急著往前走，而是在一種持續調整的平衡裡，讓動與靜同時存在——有時候幾乎像停住，有時又在很細微的地方推進。對我來說，這首作品不是在對立動與靜，而是試著讓它們同時存在。也許我們的生活一直都在移動、變化，但也正是在那個「靜止之點」，才能讓人生開始律動。 String Quartet No.3 "at the still point, there the dance is" I Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu X Changhua Chamber Music Society Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu, composer Pei-Wu Chen, Chung-Han Tsai, violins Po-Yin Tsai, viola I-Cheng Liu, cello https://ccms.page/ and time future contained in time past - Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu X CCMS Composer Portrait Recital Recorded on July 16, 2026 at National Taichung Theater, Taiwan I thought in my life I had gotten used to constant moving and travelling; yet I found myself searching even more for a time of still. That’s when I stumbled across the beautiful words of T.S. Eliot, “at the still point, there the dance is”- From his iconic FOUR QUARTETS. This String Quartet is based on a meditation of lyrical lines, intertwining between stillness and movement. As one balances constantly for life, may we all find our stillness, and have our dance. Taiwanese Canadian violinist-composer Hsiu-Ping Patrick Wu is constantly on the search for musical language on different sides of the spectrum. Like his multifaceted identity, Wu’s music ranges from the style of neo-romanticism to avant-garde soundscapes, fusing theatrical elements and improvisational techniques. https://www.patrickwumusic.com/
