This study explores the influence of Chopin’s 24 Piano Études (Op.10 and Op.25) on the technique and expressive practices of contemporary Chinese piano compositions. Through a comparative analysis of Chopin’s études and selected works by Chinese composers such as Zhao Xiaosheng and Chu Wanghua, the research reveals how Chinese composers have absorbed and transformed Chopin’s pianistic language by integrating it with traditional Chinese musical elements, including pentatonic scales, folk melodies, and rhythmic aesthetics.


  The findings demonstrate that this intercultural synthesis results in compositions that reflect both technical sophistication and distinct national identity. By examining these cross-cultural adaptations, the study contributes to a broader understanding of how Western musical paradigms are reinterpreted within non-Western cultural frameworks, enriching the global development of piano literature and performance practice.
