For Chinese people, piano is a foreign musical instrument introduced into the country a hundred years ago. It has always been a challenge for Chinese musicians to use it to te11 stories and to express feelings and ideas of Chinese people. By assimilating folk tuues and imitating the timbre of traditional musical instruments, Chinese composers reproduce the style and contents of folk music, dance and local operas. These types of works contribute a significant portion of Chinese piano music that greatly shorten the distance between piano and Chinese people. This volume with four books intends to present the piano music endowed with Chinese style or flavor: i.e. “Style of Folk Song and Balladry”，“Instrumental Music”，“Folk Dances”and“Operas and Songs with Dance.”
