Reflections on the Piano Adaptation of Nanyin Music Wintersweet Score
Utilizing the Zhigu score of Nanyin Music,along with reference to diminution of vertical bam-boo flute and Er'xian(a Two-string Fiddle),Yang Shuangzhi adapted the Nanyin Music traditional in-strumental piece Winter sweet Score into a piano composition titled The First Piano Suite Wintersweet.While the score closely resembles the original Nanyin Music Wintersweet Score.However,as the differ-ence of performance instruments and sounding media lead to shifts of the diminution and the range of the Zhigu score in the piano,together with the changes of heterophony and homophonic texture,the piano suite and Nanyin music exhibit markedly distinct artistic flavors.Nevertheless,piano adaptations based on traditional music materials are beneficial to promote both the diversified development of Chinese piano music and public understanding of Chinese traditional music.
