Details

The instrument includes two string ensembles, with 52 players in Stage A and 27 in Stage B, totaling 79 musicians. Articulations encompass a range of techniques, including staccato, sustained notes, legato, tremolo, and pizzicato, allowing for expressive performances. The Flow View interface enhances playability by automating articulation switching based on playing dynamics, enabling seamless transitions between different musical expressions.
