I absolutely love this piece! I played it for my grade 8 TCL exam. You are a fantastic pianist! If you don't mind a wee bit of constructive criticism, I think you are a bit heavy handed in this piece, it is meant to be very tranquil and fast but not rushed. You are very talented :)
you probably already know, but in case you are still looking for how it's "supposed" to be played, there's a video of Lang Lang playing this piece in youtube. I tried to copy and paste the link, but it won't work. In any case, I think I like your pace better...
@garfeeld888 Thanks, I found it. I think that finding one's own interpretation is also a good thing. But it's also hard to know how to play: since I'm not chinese, I'm not very used to Chinese music, and I could have played strangely for a Chinese ear
Hey I got the same book as you and I'm trying to practice this beautiful and glamorous piece =] If I could perform this piece well I might post my accomplishment on youtube too. Great to see so many people who are interested in Chinese styled piano pieces. I love these pieces so much!
yes its been long while since ive come across this song, and been a long while since you've posted it but anyway, the composer is Wen-cheng Lu. Absolutly a buitiful and outstanding peice thats sweet and enchanting.
Is this supposed to make you relaxed? It certainly is calm but doesn't make me feel so calm as when I listen to something like Claire de Lune. Oh! By the way, you're one amazing piano player.
Absolutly beautiful. Usually a rocker myself and love rock music, but this is sometimes what I just look for to help relax and unwind. This what I would call - possibly - evening music as with rock music being morning music, first thing that is. Don't surpose this can be transcribed onto an electric guitar. LOVE IT.
This is beautiful! I've always thought that Chinese traditional music should be harmonized by contemporary composers or at least in the style of Ravel or Debussy because their music always evoked natural beautiful scenes. I do believe there are some, just can't find it yet.
I have 2 recordings of this same arrangement by Shi Shucheng and Eileen Huang. It has long been one of the pieces that I go to when I need a little serenity. I think you do a wonderful job with it, though Huang's playing may be a little more flowing. A joy to listen to this nevertheless.
By any chance, do you have these recordings in audio files? I'm interested in listening to them, since I haven't listened yet to an original interpretation.
I am sure you have listened to Lang Lang's playing here on Youtube. Nice too, though maybe a bit "too expressive" for my taste. I in fact have 3 recordings of this piece, by Shi Shucheng, Eileen Huang and Chen Jie. Also a recording of LiuYang River by Chen Jie. Contact me privately if you want to hear these.
Try to get your hands on the Recording by Jie Chen. I think she does the best interpretation. Lang Lang does one, but I think he is overly expressive.
Come to think of it, just order the Jie Chen album "Chinese Piano Favourites". All the songs in that album is in the book you have "30 Famous Chinese Piano Pieces"
It was excellent work. I will definitely listen to this whenever I have a hard time sleeping at night. It really puts me to sleep. In a good way, I mean to say. It was that beautiful. :)
I am Cantonese (Quong Dong Lo) and played this piece several decades ago with a Chinatown orchestra in San Francisco, where the Chinese population is predominantly Cantonese. This music is very old. The piano transcription here is very nice. I see others like it, too. I wish someone will upload Cantonese orchestral music, for all to enjoy.
how wonderful, would you please send the sheet to me as a birthday gift :"> (I was born at the day of "middle autumn" - the moon day :"> thank u so very much
your skill is advanced:) but I don't the name of this piece, though it's supposed to be famous...I know "Liu Yang He" very well, anyway...which could save my face somehow :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm sorry, but this is TERRIBLE playing. First of all, you're playing it vivace, when it's supposed to be over a CALM lake. Second, this piece seriously needs tempo rubato, or else it'll turn into a Baroque prelude, which you don't want.
As a Chinese-American, I can appreciate the emotion you put into your performance, and I would really like the sheet music to play for myself and my friends. Thanks.
Your one of the few pianists I have heard who, when they play, I can feel the actual music within. But, I enjoy pianists who can also improvise, which I see you do. I'm also a pianist who enjoys composing music.
Hey, can you also play the 2 more songs from the same book: The Second spring Bathed in Moonlight (Pg 77), and Music at Sunset (Pg 129). Those two are more well known and are very beautiful.
You have skills keep at it.unless you dont like it but if its you passtion keep it your really good.its sooo calming. When i was streested it helped a lot! whitch is like a mircal im stressted a lot.but anyways thanks somtimes we should all just relex with feng shui
I heard this song before SOMEWHERE... If I find out, I'll tell you! My dad always listens to these kinds of music, so I have a good chance of getting the title. Good luck to me! By the way, awesome playing!
This is a very elegant peaceful song i will listen to it over and over again.This song has so much passion and calmness.I listen to this song and it completely destresses me. Keep on playing.
我朋友!你彈得非常美。我覺得平和!(You play beautifully)
