Cultural and political aspects of Chinese piano musicIn the 1960s, Part experimented with serialism, collage, and neo-classicism, as well as aggressive dissonance. He was disappointed with the avant-garde, and instead focused on the ancient tradition. He explored Gregorian chant, Russian Orthodox faith, and melodic simplicity. All of these influences are evident in his music. This minimalist style of composition is perfect for a relaxing piano concert.
The first movement of Grieg’s Concerto begins with an abrupt roll of timpani. The piece then moves to the mellow Adagio section, highlighting the lower strings of the upper register. This section of the concerto is one of Grieg’s longest, but doesn’t feel like it. Instead, the piece remains exhilarating and resounding. The finale features the tutti solo and a grand gesture from the orchestra.
The qin’s strings are tuned using tuning pegs in the head end. Other tuning methods are achieved by altering the tension of the strings. For instance, the third string will sound like 1 2 3 5 6 and the fifth string will sound like 1 2 3 4 5 7
Yin and Yang principlesThe qin was traditionally played for private edification. It was usually depicted in secluded places where enthusiasts played for their friends. In ancient times, these musicians were not professional musicians. They took their time to practice and master the art form. They played for friends, scholars, officials, and gentlemen. The music that they performed had a deep impact on people, not only in terms of the sounds, but also the meanings of the songs they played.
The qin is an ancient Chinese instrument that is highly prized by Confucianists and intellectuals in China. It is frequently depicted in landscapes with sages admiring the beauty. The instrument was even featured in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Opening Ceremony. Chen Leiji was a featured performer. While qin music was not widely known in the ancient Chinese culture, it has been proclaimed a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
The Chinese composer Chen, Pei-xun, composed five piano pieces based on folk music and Cantonese music. He published four of them in 1959, with the fifth being published in 1978. The piece, “Twin”, is named after the repetition of bars that produce “twin” phrases. The piece is inspired by the tradition of sailing on the Yangzi River at sunset while the sound of Zhong drifts off shore. This work is notable for combining elements of folk music with Western compositional techniques.
Yin and Yang principles in Chinese piano playing are based on the Yin and Yang theory of motion. Fung believes that the yin and yang concept reflects the ancient Chinese philosophy of nature and the laws of the universe. According to Fung, motions originate from the flow of energy and the interplay of complementary and opposing forces. Everything is a motion produced by the interaction of yin and yang properties.
Arvo Part’s Spiegel im Spiegel is perhaps his most famous piece, and is used extensively for film soundtracks, ballets, and theater productions. Part’s music, which is relatively unknown in the west until the late 1990s, has a spiritual and contemplative quality that makes it ideal for a relaxing piano concert. His work has recurring motifs, such as crotchet second-inversion broken chords in the piano right hand and sustained notes in the violin.
Another piece that makes a great piece of relaxing piano music is Pachelbel’s Canon in D. This piece is based on descending harmonies and is a great choice for any occasion. The descending harmonies in D major are easily recognizable and playable. The tempo of this piece is slow, so it’s great for meditative purposes.
Beethoven’s GymnopedieFor pianists interested in learning more about Chinese piano music, here are some of the key features to know. This type of music features a range of themes, including bird songs, lantern festivals, moon gazing, and artistic explorations of tone, dynamics, and articulation. As with other piano genres, Chinese piano music works especially well for recitals. Its colorful imagery is sure to capture audiences’ attention. Also, it is easy to play, and it’s great for beginners, too!
