Yin, flute and piano

Yin, Spielpartitur

With her composition Yin, Peilei Shang won the first prize at the Harald Genzmer Composition Competition 2016: Reminiscent of traditional Chinese music, Yin creates an individual and expressive atmosphere by means of sound effects embedded unobtrusively in the overall context. Special techniques are used in the flute and piano parts to produce the sound of the Chinese traditional instruments Xiao (like a bamboo flute) and Qin (a plucked instrument). A demanding and highly fascinating work for concerts and competitions.Shang, who earned her bachelor's degree in Beijing in 2014 and now studies in the composition class of Professor Manfred Stahnke at the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre as an exchange student, has composed a large number of small pieces for various instruments and music genres and has already won several international prizes for her compositions.
