Piano Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.926737 Composed by Yuan-Chen Li. Contemporary,World. Score. 4 pages. Yuan-Chen Li #6866359. Published by Yuan-Chen Li (A0.926737). Yangguan Pass is the common theme running through three pieces for solo piano, written for students of beginner, intermediate, and intermediate/advance levels: Dancing at Yangguan Pass, Farewell at Yangguan, and Crossing Yangguan Pass. It takes students to explore formal design, such as the unconventional proportion of phrasal structure, means of introduction, and ending. Inspired by the guqin music and poetry of Yangguan Pass, the piano solo works enrich the expression of the old pentatonic tune with wide ranges of meters, rhythms, keys, or registers, which are essential to Chinese traditional music and contemporary music. CMTNC (Chinese Music Teachers Association of Northern California) Commission Series is a collection of musical works for a set of twelve pieces for violin, piano, cello, and clarinet (three pieces for each instrument written for beginner, intermediate, and intermediate/advanced students; with or without piano accompaniment). Through this series, student performers and their audiences are reminded of life experiences through the reminiscence and creative process of classic Chinese music literature and well-known folksongs.
