Chinese pianist and professor Zhang Dingyan play 'WuKui' at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall. The word "WuKui" comes from the "Big WuKui dance", a folk dance of the Manchu people. It is a celebratory dance, often performed after hunting or when food is harvested. Performers often wear masks of five kinds of animals: deer, roe, tiger, leopard and bear, and imitate their behaviour. The piano solo “WuKui” was composed by the composer Zhou Long in 1983. By means of western composing techniques, it describes the folk dance of Manchu people in northeast China with pioneering musical vocabulary, which has strong national charm and modern temperament. ■ Know more about Zhang Dingyuan: https://www.fazioli.com/en/references/zhang-dingyuan ■ Follow us on: ➡️ Website: https://www.fazioli.com/en ➡️Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/FazioliPianos ➡️Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/faziolipianos_official ➡️Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Fazioli_Pianos #fazioli
