作品简介

     作品《鼓铮》为钢琴独奏而作。“鼓铮”之名意指用钢琴来模仿中国筝声韵。在音响方面，点状音响被赋予西洋打击器乐与中国弹拨乐的双重特性；在音乐延展方面，作曲者用多种西方现代作曲技术与中国传统音乐特有的思维相结合，努力在现代语汇中复活真正的中国音乐灵魂。核心创作理念如下：

      音本位思维，以单个音为基本动机素材，避免西方传统的块状语汇，以及作为和弦外壳的完整旋律；强化单音的表现力，尽量赋予每个单音独特的质地。

      虚实结合，强化乐音之间的错落对比，注重余韵和休止的应用，为音乐时间“留白”，以和西方艺术“实写”的再现思维相区别。

      “散点透视”，通过五度相生的方式不断变换核心音及其相应的织体语汇，以达到音响能量不断循环转移效果，与西方高潮迭起最后能量集中指向高点的陈述方式分道扬镳。

      即兴余地，局部采用偶然记谱写法，去除西方现代音乐过分苛刻的理性束缚，为表演的感性控制留有空间。

Brief Introduction

     ‘GuZheng’ is composed for piano solo. The piano is supposed to imitate the lingering charm of the Chinese zither in this piece as the title has implied. The sound is endowed with characteristics of both western percussion and Chinese plucking instruments. A variety of western modern composing techniques are combined with the Chinese traditional musical thought here in order to exhibit the real Chinese music through modern musical language.  

      Emphasize the importance of a single note: the basic material of the motif consists of a single note and thus has avoided the massive musical vocabulary and the complete melody which serves as the shape of the successive chords in traditional western music.

     Combine the void with the solid: to distinguish it from the realism in western arts by intensifying the contrast between the notes and by laying stress on the rest and aftertaste.  

   Have a dispersive sound effect: changing the key note and corresponding texture constantly by adopting the circle-of-fifths system in order to achieve an effect of unceasing circulation of the sound power, and thus to distinguish it from the western mode of arriving to a climax with the help of forces accumulated.

    Leave some leeway for improvisation: adopting a casual notation partly in this piece in order to break through the shackles of rationalism in western modern music and also give some leeway for the performance.

鼓乐铮铮

筝之点，水墨之虚实

似是而非间

中西化合

Rub-a-dubthe drum sounds

Thingsare what they are

Amongthe specious

InterweavesChinese and Western styles
