Calm Lake, Autumn Moon       Lu Wencheng (arr. Chen)

Presented in celebration of the Chinese New Year (the year of the Tiger), this piece is rather impressionistic in nature, while it vividly depicts an autumn scene by the lake. As the moon shines over the water, ripples flow gently disappearing in the darkness afar.  The piece was originally written for Chinese instruments and was adapted for the modern piano in the 1950s as Western classical music became immensely popular in the East.      Sha Wang
