This
extraordinary edition
includes a selection of
ten piano works by
Chinese composers from
the second half of the
20th century. They are
marked by Western
influences while also
reflecting the
multifaceted folk music
of China. They range from
short character pieces to
sonatinas, from simple
song arrangements to
multi-movement cycles.
These works are of medium
difficulty and offer a
representative
cross-section of a
musical cosmos that
remains largely unknown
in Europe. Predominantly
pentatonic in character,
these works unite the
magic of Far Eastern
music with the sound of
the piano. We were able
to get the well-known
pianist Jingxian
(âJaneâ) Xie
from Shanghai to select
these compositions, which
she herself regularly
performs in the concert
hall. She not only
provided the fingerings,
but has also written a
preface that offers a
general overview of
modern Chinese piano
music and introductions
to each of the individual
pieces. CONTENTS: Wei Qu:
