This collection is partially based on selected Chinese Piano Works (in five volumes, edited by Ren Yintong and Chao Zhijie, People's Music Publishing House), yet compiled more carefully and intensively in a new historical perspective and idea, and contains those important works of a century's Chinese piano music as many as possible. We expect it is a book that would give you both retrospect and prospect for Chinese piano music.
With its large quantity, expansive subjects and multiple styles, Chinese piano works offer us a wide range of options. What we have in mind are a series of elements such as performance, teaching, as well as their historical and realistic significance, all of which we want to recommend to music lovers. In order to demonstrate the unique charms of different works, we try to group the works into five volumes further divided into ten books: i.e. Awarded pieces; works with traditional and folk style; works with local styles; and western suites and arrangements featuring Chinese genres and flavors. The aim of this collection is to display a panorama of Chinese piano music and to lay a sound basis for the Chinese piano education.
