"Chao wasn't a professional musician, but he was a prolific composer, writing art songs, vernacular songs and also strange, quirky, playful compositions where he experimented with amalgamating different musical styles."
"Music also became a vehicle for him to think about and capture the tonality of various Sinophone dialects. Inspired by musical staff notation, he created a system to represent pitch contours in Chinese languages that's still in use today."
