Here is a composition called 'Eastern Winds'. I've always been fascinated by Chinese folk music ever since I tried making up my own using the black keys of the piano when I was 5 years old. Hopefully my music sounds better now than it did back then!

(I wonder if Lang Lang would like this)

@beeve2000 Hey I really love this song and I'm trying to learn it but I was curious to know if there's a specific terminology for the flowing way you wrote the melody. I know it's similar to arpeggios but is there a more specific term?

[beeve2000]

@PianoNinjaQK Hi, and thanks! I'm not really sure if there's a specific term for what you are referring to, but for the most part they're really just broken chords. Split staff, voicing... I suppose all these terms apply. Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful.

Where can I get the MP3 file for this recording (and also the "Daydream" recording)?

[3N4CH05]

@3N4CH05 never mind, I meant 'sextuplets' - can't really remember what they are called exactly..

[3N4CH05]

@3N4CH05 I think I meant sixteenth notes actually.

This song is so beautiful. I'm not really accustomed to Chinese (would you call it folk?) music but there seems to be a genuine integrity to it. The triplets(?) are my favourite part. I just subscribed I and I hope you keep composing!
