Produktbeschreibung
- Deep Night
The tune is adapted from the Peking opera and played from complex to simple. Major differences lie in the Allegro passages. While retaining the charm of Peking Opera, the adaptor combines the performance techniques of the pipa to fully express the unique rhythm beauty of the pipa.
- Swan
Under the artistic conception of the traditional Chinese aesthetics, and with beautiful and humorous musical language, the composer depicts and simulates the swan flying and roaming in the rippled lake water. The music is lively, expressive and extremely easy to sing.
