Descriptions, Reviews, &c.
"... I must say that it's the Chinese music that touches me the most. She waits for me. What disturbs the Europeans especially is the orchestra made of noise, which emphasizes and interrupts the melody. That's really Chinese. Like the taste of firecrackers and detonations. You have to get used to it. Besides, curious thing, despite this tremendous noise, Chinese music is all that is more peaceful, not sleepy, not slow, but peaceful, free from the desire to wage war, to coerce, to order, free even of suffering, affectionate. As this melody is good, pleasant, sociable. She has nothing boastful, idiotic, or exalted, she is all human and good-natured, and childish and popular, joyous and "family reunion".-Henri Michaux, A Barbarian In China
