The thesis speculates upon the three movements of Concerto da Camera II (1987),
scored for Bb clarinet, string quartet and piano) in these four aspects: 1) the formal
structure, 2) the manipulation of the notes of whole-tone, octatonic, and chromatic scales
in octave displacement, 3) the potential combination of subsets that present different
levels of pitch transformation in melodic and harmonic structure, and 4) the usage of
intervals of minor seconds, tritones, and perfect fourths or fifths which dominates the
linear writing. All of these features demonstrate that the music has strong structural
elements in form, motives, and sonorities, which unify the piece in an aurally coherent
style as an organic whole.
This study should provide more insight into the understanding of Ran's unique
compositional technique and style.
