Abstract

To identify specificity of the Chinese pianists’ interpretation of the Russian piano music, the author analyses discography of the Chinese piano stars and repertoire of Beijing Conservatoire graduates. Influence of the Chinese virtuosi on their junior colleagues is traced. A comparative analysis indicates that Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Skriabin are among the most frequently performed composers. Conclusions are made that the Chinese musicians like the Russian music and study it eagerly, and the choice of compositions is conditioned by their technical difficulty.
