Piano Works by Chinese Composers

While the formation of European pianism spanned a period of five centuries, the piano art of China developed within extremely short terms, in the conditions of a unique music culture. The popularization of piano playing and the creation of methods for teaching piano from the beginning are the stages the country has gone through in just one century. The edition includes Nocturne op. 19 and other compositions by Xiao Youmei, the composer, educator and public figure, whose significance can be compared with the activities of A. G. Rubinstein in Russian musical art, as well as the piano opus by Xian Xinghai.
The collection is addressed to students of colleges and higher schools, lovers of instrumental music.
