This book is a collection of piano pieces by Chinese composers: He Luting (1903-), Ding Shande (1911-), Wang Lisan (1933-)& Shang Tong (1923-). The title "Chinese Piano Music for Children" can be rather vague or misleading. The pieces contained are suitable for an intermediate to early advanced student. They are not meant for beginners as it could suggest. The title alludes to the names of the compositions found within.
Contents:
He Luting, The Young Shepherd & His Flute (alt. Buffalo Boy & Flute)
Ding Shande, Suite for Children
Shang Tong, Seven Little Pieces after Folk Songs from Inner Mongolia
Wang Lisan, Sonatina
The book also contains valuable background information regarding the pieces and the composers in German & English. Titles of the pieces are given in three languages: Chinese, German & English. The book is published by Schott and is available here.
