​

"Autumn Leaves Rustling" was intended as a study of Vietnamese music where folk elements are used to build an impressionistic narrative. Just like the autumn wind blowing on a tree, the piece starts with a gentle breeze rustling over the leaves. This breeze will increase in volume and will morph toward a strong wind that will eventually blow away all leaves, leaving only the sound of wind whistling.
