My Other Song for Piano 鋼琴

作曲家注：1990 年，在美國生活了八年之後，我為彼得-瑟金（Peter Serkin）創作了第一部鋼琴獨奏作品《我的歌》（My Song）。當時，我的主要創作方向是在以五聲調式為主的中國民族音樂和當代西方古典音樂的界限內發展旋律與和聲風格。因此，我的歌中的四個樂章都是根據現有的中國民間曲調或按照其風格創作的。最近，另一位鋼琴大師朋友葉菲姆-布朗夫曼（Yefim Bronfman）邀請我寫一首鋼琴獨奏曲。17 年過去了，我不知道自己的寫作是否有什麼變化。因此，我將新組曲命名為我的另一首歌"

原文簡介:
Composer Note: In 1990, after eight years in the United States, I wrote my first work for solo piano, titled My Song, commissioned for Peter Serkin. At the time, my primary compositional concentration was to develop a melodic and harmonic style within the boundaries of Chinese folk music, which are mostly in pentatonic modes, and contemporary Western Classical music. As a result, all the four movements in My Song were either based on existing Chinese folk tunes or written in their style. I was asked recently by another virtuoso pianist friend, Yefim Bronfman, to write a work for solo piano. After the passing of 17 years, I wonder if there is any change in my writing. I therefore titled the new suite My Other Song.

There are four movements in the composition, the first three of which are brief and provide contrast in character. The theme of the last movement, the longest, is based on a Buddhist chant heard at the wake for my mother in February 2005.–Bright Sheng
