Advanced Intermediate Piano Solo

Approximate Duration: 4:00 Minutes
In 1987, while residing in Singapore, the captivating strains of Richard Claydermans "Ballade Pour Adeline" sparked the inception of SONG FOR XIAN. Drawing parallels in structure to Claydermans renowned 1977 composition, this piece was born from a simple melody, dedicated to an imaginary young Chinese girl named Xian. Thus, emerged the emotive piece, SONG FOR XIAN, as part of my envisioned album celebrating the essence of Chinese music, aptly titled CHINA LOVE.
The score for SONG FOR XIAN is meticulously notated with dynamic and articulation markings, phrasing, pedal indications, chord symbols, along with suggested fingerings and pertinent musical terminology for seamless performances.
This arrangement is ideally suited for accomplished students, seasoned pianists, and piano instructors alike.
Although this mp3 audio sample featuring additional background instruments remains incomplete, the full rendition of SONG FOR XIAN can be enjoyed on Roberts CHINA LOVE album.
Additionally, an EARLY INTERMEDIATE PIANO arrangement of select pieces from the album, entitled TEN MUSICAL THEMES FROM CHINA LOVE, is available for purchase at the following links:
