Features: This book is one of the national "Nineteen Eighty-Five" planning teaching materials, serving as the "Chinese Part" of the upper volume of the "Music Appreciation Tutorial." It is divided into six chapters, providing comprehensive and systematic instructive explanations on six aspects: "Folk Songs," "Ethnic Instrumental Music," "Professional Instrumental Music Composition," "Opera," "Storytelling Music," and "Chinese Ballet Music." Additionally, it covers the historical context of Chinese music over thousands of years, as well as representative works from different historical periods and various musical genres. It is particularly noteworthy that none of the existing Chinese music appreciation textbooks include a chapter on "Ballet Music." However, the author of this book has dedicated decades of research to this area, achieving outstanding results. In this textbook, a dedicated chapter on "Chinese Ballet Music" is included, pioneering this field, filling a gap, and further validating the advanced value of the material.
