Features: Through the creative efforts of several generations of composers in China, a substantial number of Chinese piano compositions have been accumulated. These works, with their national style, artistic depth, and technical execution, have demonstrated enduring artistic vitality in long-term or relatively long-term performance and teaching practices. The book includes 30 of these works as a part of this collection. Compiling these 30 piano pieces into a book also considers the following points: 1. Emphasis on compositions that draw from traditional Chinese and folk music materials. 2. Those traditional and folk music pieces with eternal charm hold multiple possibilities for polyphonic thinking. 3. The realm of polyphonic thinking in modern Chinese ethnic music should be vast. The main differences from previous editions are as follows: 1. Revision and confirmation of all performance-related markings (excluding pedals); 2. Correction of errors; 3. Adjustment of individual notations; 4. Minor in some pieces; 5. Addition of reference fingerings; 6. Annotations for potentially confusing sections; 7. Brief introductions to the composers and their works. In summary, the editor strives to make this book an accurate, reasonable, practical, and easy-to-understand version for both comprehension and performance.
