Guessing
Chen Yi
Late Intermediate
5 min
Commissioned for the 1990 Renee B. Fisher Awards Competition as required repertoire for the Senior Division for pianists between the ages of 14 and 18. The very popular Chinese folk song "Guessing" is in a humorous antiphonal style. For this piano piece, Chen Yi took a fragment of the tune from the song and developed it in pitch, range, dynamics, rhythm, and expression, using basic techniques of piano performance. The piece shows a simple and rustic feeling in an obviously strong Chinese musical style.
