In China Fantasy Helmut Quakernack brings together two traditional Chinese folk melodies with their different characters with musical panache. The moving song is about a blind musician and the heartfelt love song come from the other side of the globe, but their melodies and harmonies sometimes sound surprisingly European. In China Fantasy vereinigt Helmut Quakernack, der China mehrmals musikalisch bereist hat, zwei traditionsreiche chinesische Weisen und deren verschiedene Charaktere auf klangvolle Weise. Das bewegende Lied über einen blinden Musiker und das innige Liebeslied stammen von der anderen Seite des Erdballs, ihre Melodien und Harmonien klingen aber zuweilen überraschend europäisch.

For Piano Solo. By Jianjun He. Synthesizing Western compositional techniques with Chinese musical elements, Fantasy for Piano shows the fusion of different cultures and the diversity of today's music. There are two main melodic ideas: one uses a whole-tone scale, somewhat related to the folk music of Ningxia, my home province in northwest China; the other, with its shifting major and minor thirds, shows a connection toWestern tonal music. The piece is roughly in three-part form: fast-slow-fast. Although the last part is derived from the first, each of the three has its own characteristics, while the entire piece is unified by the two melodic ideas described above. Fantasy for Piano is available on the VMM (Vienna Modern Masters) label recorded by Jeffrey Jacob.
