The cursive script represents the essence in the art of Chinese calligraphy, as its expressiveness depends solely upon the spontaneous but controlled flow of ink which, through the brush-strokes, projects not only fluid lines in interaction but also density, texture and poise.

These qualities, translated into musical terms, are often found in the music for wind and string instruments of the East. In Chou's Cursive, the cursive concept has influenced the use of specified but indefinite pitches and rhythm, regulated but variable tempo and dynamics, as well as various timbres possible on the two instruments.

Composed at the suggestion of Harvey Sollberger and Charles Wuorinen. For the advanced flutist.
