Cui, who is now 74 years old, completed his revision of his Piano Concerto in July of 2020. In my document, I will include a complete biography of Cui from 1948 to 2022. I will also discuss the innovative musical characteristics of Cui’s recently published Piano Concerto (2020), as well as a performance guide to the concerto. Much of the information in this section of the document was collected from the composer through personal interviews. Although there are numerous documents about Mr. Cui’s popular piano compositions in Chinese, there is only one document in English. I hope to bring much more information about this interesting and significant Chinese composer to the English-speaking world. This document will analyze his Piano Concerto, ICO.136 (ICO refers to “In Chronological Order”). Cui’s piano compositions demonstrate elements of Chinese style combined with Western tradition elements. He promotes the spiritual and national outlook of Chinese musical culture. Supplementary information and materials will also be provided, including Cui’s opinions about the essence of the musical score. This section will also discuss specific aspects of the development of Peking Opera, the historical background of the Chu–Han Contention/ War (206– 202 B.C.).en-USAll Rights Reserved.Piano Concerto Chu-Han, ICO. 136 by Cui, Shi-guangAnson K.
