Qigang Chen is one of the most prominent Chinese composers working today, whose music has been commissioned and performed by leading orchestras and musicians around the world. Er Huang, commissioned by Carnegie Hall, is based on a number of melodies from Peking operas, nostalgically recollected, while the unusual structure of Enchantements oubliés explores a journey into the essence of beauty. Un temps disparu features the erhu, a two-stringed Chinese fiddle, and makes use of an ancient Chinese melody called Three Variations on the Plum Blossom.
据陈其钢介绍,《二黄》是一首很简单,很真实的音乐作品,是他第二次为钢琴写作,虽然两次都运用了中国京剧中的音乐素材。不过,第一首“Instants d’un Opéra de Pékin”(京剧瞬间)是很激越的,而《二黄》是很安静的。“音乐是有灵性的,真正的音乐创作,就像一颗从地里长出的树,如同生命,最终的结果是不能预知的。在写作之前,我所知道的只是一种情绪,一种远远的,如烟的感觉。在这个感觉中包含了自己熟悉的京剧音乐的音调。”陈其钢介绍了写作这首作品的基本概念。
