Application of Timbres of National Musical Instruments in the Performance of Chinese Piano Works

Piano and national musical instruments symbolize the understanding and interpretation of different cultures, races and regions for music. However, music is the art of sound. Both piano and national music instruments reflect sound art. Similarly, both of them blend with and affect each other. For instance, some excellent piano works in China inherit national culture and fuse western music techniques. Timbres of national musical instruments present the music characteristics of combining Chinese elements with western elements and integrating with each other in piano performance.
