"Rush Hour" for Saxophone Quartet is inspired by the fast-paced lifestyle of urban society, where people rush to work and spend part of their day in traffic. This concept is expressed primarily through the use of second intervals, symbolizing the flow of traffic and the urgency to complete tasks quickly. However, the piece is not solely composed of fast sections—it also includes slower passages that serve as moments of rest, offering a chance to recharge before diving back into the rush.
