2020
This research paper is an explanatory document for the
lecture recital presented by the author. The lecture recital
focused on the mimicking of instruments in arrangements and
transcriptions for piano of Chinese traditional music. There are
five Chinese music instruments discussed in the paper, namely
guqin, zheng, erhu, suona, and pipa. This document provides an
introduction to the five instruments, including their origin,
historical background, and physical characteristics. Then it
discusses the selected traditional pieces for these instruments and
compares them to their corresponding piano arrangements. The
traditional pieces are Three Stanzas of Plum Blossoms (arranged by
Jianzhong Wang), Liu Yang River (arranged by Jianzhong Wang), Moon
Reflected on the Er-quan Spring (arranged by Wanghua Chu), A
Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix (arranged by Jianzhong
Wang), and Flute and Drum at Sunset (arranged by Yinghai Li). The
comparison and the discussion of the technical issues in certain
passages will help the pianist to create a fitting sound when
performing the works.
