Research on the integration of piano techniques and national expressiveness in Song of the Great Road–Taking Wang Jianzhong's version as an example
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v8i4.5340
Abstract
As a representative composer in the exploration of nationalization of Chinese piano music, Wang Jianzhong created his adapted version of Song of the Great Road, which achieves an artistic expression with both technical depth and emotional tension through the innovative integration of Western piano techniques and Chinese national music elements, while retaining the revolutionary spirit and labor narrative of Nie Er's original work. Taking Wang Jianzhong's adapted version of Song of the Great Road as the research object, this paper adopts music ontology analysis, literature research and practical reflection methods to explore the integration logic of piano techniques and national expressiveness from three dimensions: creation background, technical characteristics and transformation of national expressiveness. The study finds that Wang Jianzhong achieved the piano interpretation of the original's work songs and resistance emotions through technical means such as octave skills, harmony reconstruction and rhythm transformation. His integration path provides an important paradigm for the teaching and dissemination of Chinese red piano works.
