This clip is from the third movement – appropriately titled Fantaisie musculaire – performed by violinist Tianyou Ma and pianist Yun Janice Lu at First Church in Boston on May 17, 2026.
Pro tip: catch Tianyou on stage at “I dwell in Possibility –” this weekend!

Britten’s Phantasy Quartet blends English pastoral charm with his blossoming modernist sensibility, Carter brings playful counterpoint and melodic warmth to his pivotal neoclassic Wind Quintet, and Cage offers an enchanting Nocturne that leaves nothing to chance.
