Features: The development of musical ideas in these piano pieces is clear and orderly, with natural and un forms. Due to the free transformation, combination, superposition, and transposition of ethnic modes within the twelve semitones, a colorful and diverse blend is formed, giving the music new vitality and a novel ethnic character. Unshackled from harmonic frameworks, the texture of the pieces, woven by various lines, showcases the musical ideas, giving the works a unique style. Such works, emerging at the end of the 20th century, are the result of the composer embracing the influence of foreign classical and modern music while exploring their own writing path for a long time. They are worth in-depth analysis and research. They should also become repertoire for pianists to perform and widely introduce to audiences. These eight piano pieces are the result of Professor Zhang Yunqing's thoughtful and heartfelt creation. "Water Ox" and "Clapping Palm" reflect her lingering childhood innocence in her seventies. They include an urgent call and anticipation for the water ox to hatch, as well as the cheerful clapping of palms in light rhythms. Pianists must possess the same childlike heart as the composer to bring such works to life with vitality and interest. "Reflections" expresses the complex and intricate emotions arising from real life with a rich and intricate brushstroke. "Striving"s the will to persevere in its rapid tones. "Yesterday" is bright and vibrant; while the original melodious and graceful tune of "Moonlight over Erquan" becomes dynamic and energetic in "The Rhythm of the Sword," gaining new qualities.
