Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify and scientifically substantiate the extent to which traditional national culture has influenced the creation of modern Chinese piano music. Exploring the principles of modern Chinese composers' work with folklore, the author reveals the main trends in Chinese piano music at the present time. The scientific novelty lies in the consideration of various ways of integrating traditional Chinese musical culture into the piano works of the XXth – XXIst centuries. It was found that Chinese composers show a strong orientation towards the national tradition. The main idea of developing this trend is to turn to the roots as well as the cultural origins. This enables contemporary authors to successfully combine traditional musical means with innovative creative pursuits. The works of Li Yinghai, San Tong, He Lutin, Zhao Xiaosheng and Zhu Wanhua showed that the manifestations of national colour in piano works are as diverse as entire Chinese culture. The study also established a profound relationship between the figurative, genre and compositional uniqueness of the piano music of Chinese composers with the national cultural heritage.
