Relaxing Piano Music

In addition to the piano, the Chinese have many traditional instruments. Chinese music is predominantly heterophonic, meaning the melody is composed of many voices or more than one instrument. Chinese music does not use triadic four-part harmonic progressions. The sheng mouth organ, for example, produces fourths and fifths when played in a traditional fashion. The zheng zither and qin are also known for producing passages of sound with two or more pitches sounding together. The Chinese may have avoided this type of heavy musical texture by creating an instrument with less complexity.

Whether you’re seeking a quiet place to study or concentration music, there is something for you to enjoy in I Giorni by Debuss. Whether you want to unwind and daydream, this soothing piano music will help you achieve the goal you’re trying to achieve. With so many composers composing beautiful piano music, it’s easy to find a piece that suits your mood perfectly.

The study explores the influences of Chinese traditional instruments on piano music, examining original and transcribed pieces by composers of different genres. Among these are Lou Harrison, a San Francisco native who read The Book of Rites, a history of the Zhou Dynasty’s social forms and administration. Lou Harrison also regularly attended the Chinese opera staged in Chinatown. One day, while at a Chinese opera performance, he attended a shadow puppet show performed by Pauline Benton, who had studied Chinese shadow puppetry in rural areas. She was so impressed with the performance that she created a touring ensemble to bring Chinese puppetry to Western audiences. Lou Harrison’s interest in Chinese music and culture was greatly enhanced.

The composition is easy to enjoy for its simplicity and subtlety.

Early twentieth century composers of Western music influenced Chinese piano music. Xian Xinghai composed nine pieces for orchestra and choir during the second Sino-Japanese War. These composers were limited in access to instruments and players, but his music was influenced by Western pieces. In addition to the Western influences, the Chinese music of Xiaoqing Chen Yi, also reflects the Chinese national style and Western techniques.
