A Study on Performance Techniques of Contemporary Chinese Violin Solos

Abstract

Since the introduction of violin art into China during the late Qing Dynasty, it has become deeply integrated with China's musical tradition. This integration has resulted in diversified characteristics in terms of creative subject matter and genre, giving rise to a unique composing style and playing techniques. In order to accurately capture the profound meaning and emotion of the work, the performer not only needs to have a deep understanding of the historical and cultural background of China but also needs to master the aesthetic essence of the work and learn those unique performance techniques. The continuous exploration and innovation of these technologies enhance the aesthetic, cultural, and artistic value of Chinese violin performance throughout its historical evolution. This also showcases a unique artistic style on the global music stage. Mastering and flexibly using the playing techniques of the Chinese violin can fully embody the spiritual essence of national-style works. This paper will thoroughly analyze the evolution of Chinese violin music, explore the unique artistic characteristics of Chinese violin works, and further interpret the aesthetic essence of these works and performances.
