Features: A piano teacher once asked me, "I hope children can play music adapted from stories." This request inspired me to create this series of "Children's Piano Suites." Following the previous "The Little Mermaid," this time I dedicated the second work to children as "Snow White." Now, although many piano collections for children have been introduced, I believe there are still not enough works in this category. In many cases, some themes are excellent, but children's musical sense may not be able to match them; others are lacking in content, etc. If children's eyes light up with joy and say, "Ah, I know this story!" then I must turn it into an outstanding musical work. For such pieces, children's attitudes would be completely different from those of numbered exercises like those in Czerny. Precisely for this reason, musicians should provide excellent works. Of course, I also hope children can play numbered exercises with full concentration. However, to introduce more music adapted from stories and serve as a milestone on their musical journey, I am willing to spare no effort to continue creating.
