葬花吟

王立平  

Music by Wang Liping

Piano arrangement by Fei

This piece is originally a song from the TV adaption from 1987 of a Chinese classical literature, “Dream of the Red Chamber” 《红楼梦》，written in the 18th century. It is one of the most important and my favorite Chinese novel that I still try to study its meaning everyday.

The lyrics are from the original novel as a poem created and spoken by the female protagonist, Lin Daiyu 林黛玉, while she was burying the fallen flowers. The music and poem sad yet powerful, sweet while magnificent.

As I was creating this piano version, I felt like having an intimate conversation with the writer, composer, and character of the piece, which transcends time and space. Hope you enjoy it 🌸

作曲：王立平 钢琴改编：Fei

《葬花吟》出自《红楼梦》原著中第二十七回黛玉葬花时的吟诵。87版红楼梦里王立平老师的作曲中，这一首跨世纪创作最戳我心，从词到区婉转而悲凉，细腻中又不失大气，带我缓缓走进黛玉的内心世界，一字一句都令人动容。 这是我花费最多心血改编的钢琴曲之一，希望将一份跨越世纪的感动用心的方式传承下去。
