Fern
- Jo Kondo
- Year of composition: 1990
- Duration: 11:05
- Instrumentation: string quartet
This piece consists of juxtapositions of many short sections. One of my purposes in this composition was to line-up these short sections (or, fragments) of different characteristics in order to create a ’static’ form, i.e., an overall form which does not involve any goal-oriented directionality.
