Professor Sabrina He for a lecture on Modern Chinese Piano Music

親愛的老師們，

協會在2026/10/22，週四上午十點半到下午十二點半，在Joyful Melodies Music School很榮幸邀請到Sabrina He教授，為我們講一場現代的中國鋼琴音樂講座，敬請預留時間參加。

本講座將介紹中國鋼琴音樂自20世紀以來的發展與風格演變，探討中國作曲家如何將悠久的傳統音樂文化與西方鋼琴創作技巧相互融合。

講座內容將從早期中國鋼琴作品談起，說明作曲家如何運用五聲音階、民間旋律，以及琵琶、古箏、二胡、嗩吶等傳統樂器的音色與演奏特色，在鋼琴上創造具有鮮明中國韻味的音樂語言。隨著20世紀中國鋼琴音樂的發展，作曲家進一步吸收西方的複調、印象派、變奏等創作手法，使中國鋼琴作品逐漸朝向更豐富、現代化且具高度演奏技巧的方向發展。

講座並將透過實際演奏，介紹不同時期及風格的重要作品，包括陳培勳《平湖秋月》、杜鳴心《水草舞》、孫以強《春舞》、王建中《彩雲追月》與《瀏陽河》、李瑞星《小竹排》、黎英海《夕陽簫鼓》，以及殷承宗／冼星海《黃河頌》等，讓聽眾從作品中了解中國傳統音樂元素如何透過鋼琴被重新詮釋，並逐步形成獨具特色的中國現代鋼琴音樂。

Dear Teachers,

We are delighted to announce that our Association will have the honor of welcoming Professor Sabrina He for a lecture on Modern Chinese Piano Music on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Joyful Melodies Music School. We warmly invite you to save the date and join us for this special event.

This lecture will explore the development and stylistic evolution of Chinese piano music since the 20th century, with a particular focus on how Chinese composers have blended the country’s rich traditional musical heritage with Western compositional techniques.

Beginning with early Chinese piano works, Professor He will discuss how composers incorporated pentatonic scales, folk melodies, and the distinctive sounds and performance characteristics of traditional Chinese instruments—including the pipa, guzheng, erhu, and suona—into piano compositions, creating a musical language with a uniquely Chinese character.

As Chinese piano music continued to develop throughout the 20th century, composers increasingly incorporated Western techniques such as polyphony, Impressionism, , and variation forms. These influences contributed to the development of a richer and more modern repertoire, often featuring greater technical and interpretive demands for the pianist.

The lecture will also include live performances of important works representing different periods and styles, including Chen Peixun’s Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, Du Mingxin’s Dance of the Waterweeds, Sun Yiqiang’s Spring Dance, Wang Jianzhong’s Clouds Chasing the Moon and Liuyang River, Li Ruixing’s Little Bamboo Raft, Li Yinghai’s Flute and Drum at Sunset, and Yin Chengzong/Xian Xinghai’s Ode to the Yellow River.

Through these works, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how elements of traditional Chinese music have been reimagined through the piano and how they have contributed to the development of a distinctive modern Chinese piano tradition.
