New York Philharmonic. Jaap van Zweden, conductor; Joseph Alessi, trombone. March 21, 2024.
[…] young people." The three muses are muse of bili, muse of xiqin, and muse of sheng, three ancient Chinese musical instruments depicted in some Dunhuang cave paintings. One could argue if the sounds were anything like these instruments, but I am hard pressed to associate what I heard with a video game.
