Nature No. 1

"Nature No. 1" was composed in 2019. The work consists of two successive movements, "Meditation of Ice and Snow" and "Poem from a Blaze". It explores the relationship between the piano and nature, including the exploration of space, color, and air, the perception of nature and the expansion of new performing methods, and the use of "contrast aesthetics" to express a spirit of optimism in the face of adversity. In "Meditation of Ice and Snow", the composer's innovative half-key method is used to create a great variation in the volume and timbre of the piano to express the "distant" spatiality of Chinese painting and the overtone effect of the Guqin. The music is reminiscent of "meditating on the coming of spring in a world of snow and ice". 2. "Poem from a Blaze" uses the post-pedal method to produce echoes and overtones. The musical effect can lead people to the phoenix, who burst into flames and was reborn from ashes, implying tens of thousands of years later, mankind will eventually face the destruction of the solar system, and will mankind be able to bring the civilization of the Earth to another solar system?
