My Other Song for Piano 钢琴

作曲家注：1990 年，在美国生活了八年之后，我为彼得-瑟金（Peter Serkin）创作了第一部钢琴独奏作品《我的歌》（My Song）。当时，我的主要创作方向是在以五声调式为主的中国民族音乐和当代西方古典音乐的界限内发展旋律与和声风格。因此，我的歌中的四个乐章都是根据现有的中国民间曲调或按照其风格创作的。最近，另一位钢琴大师朋友叶菲姆-布朗夫曼（Yefim Bronfman）邀请我写一首钢琴独奏曲。17 年过去了，我不知道自己的写作是否有什么变化。因此，我将新组曲命名为我的另一首歌"

原文简介:
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
