Perfect Fourth is a traditional musical term representing a unique relation between two pitches. While the use of it has been prevalent even in the European middle ages, the stacking of fourths is also often used nowadays to create chords and progressions with a sense of modernity.
The Perfect Fourth Harmonica Quartet aims at creating a modern and fashionable performance style on the basis of their invaluable traditional influence.
Perfect Fourth - 完全四度，是傳統音樂術語，用於描述兩個音高之間的獨特關係。這個詞的起源可以追溯到中世紀的歐洲；而當今的音樂家亦會用 Perfect Fourth 來塑造不同的樂句，尤其很多現代音樂中利用全四度的疊加創造出具有現代感的和弦和進程。
Perfect Fourth 口琴四重奏旨在於傳統的基礎上創造一種現代時尚的表演風格。

The name of Astor Piazzolla is synonymous with the word tango. A musical ambassador who carried the signature sounds of Argentina s cafes and nightclubs to concert halls around the world, his instantly recognizable compositions (attractively arranged here for harp, violin and bandoneón) are infused with elements of jazz, fusion and even classical baroque. Escualo (1979), which translates literally as shark , is renowned among Piazzolla s output for its devilish violin part, combining virtuosic double-stopping techniques with complex rhythmic patterns and sudden metrical shifts that threaten to wrongfoot the listener. The shark of the title is not the music itself, which certainly has a fearsome bite, but the animals Piazzolla wrestled with while shark-fishing in Punta del Este, Uruguay, during his summers there.
