RESEARCH ON THE PERFORMANCE ART OF NORTHEAST STYLE PIANO WORKS

บทคัดย่อ

With the continuous development of Chinese piano art, composers have increasingly drawn inspiration from the rich folk music traditions of Northeast China. These piano works integrate regional ethnic elements with Western compositional techniques, forming a unique genre known as Northeast-style piano music. The purpose of this study is to investigate the artistic style and performance characteristics of Northeast-style piano works, with the aim of providing theoretical and practical guidance for future creation, education, and performance.

This research adopts qualitative methods, including literature review, musical analysis, and expert interviews, to systematically examine the melodic, rhythmic, harmonic, and structural features of representative works. In addition, performance aspects such as touch, dynamic control, and rhythm handling are analyzed to identify the expressive techniques that define this musical style.

The study finds that Northeast-style piano works are characterized by bold and lyrical melodies, distinctive rhythmic patterns derived from folk dances and operatic traditions, and a blend of pentatonic tonality with modern harmonic language. In terms of performance, they demand flexible touch, nuanced dynamic control, and vivid expression to capture the cultural essence of Northeast China. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the regional piano idiom and provide practical reference for performers and educators.
