\n\nThis concert is unique; it will be the first time that Ssu-Yu Huang's “Grand Music of Tang” be presented in its entirety in a single concert.
\n\nThe concert will be preformed by Czech guitarist, Dr. Josef Mazan. The suite was originally commissioned by the Japanese classical guitarist Kazuhito Yamashita. Ten of the 24 pieces were world-premiered by Mr. Yamashita in Tokyo, Japan on February 4, 2000. “Grand Music of Tang” represents a ground-breaking exploration of the classical guitar with an Asian genre by the Taiwanese composer Ssu-Yu Huang. Some unique performance techniques of the traditional musical instruments from the East including China and Japan invigorate the creativity. For example, the fuller sound of the guitar can be suppressed to mimic the steel-string sound of the guzheng. Glissando and percussion techniques can be used to produce effects of the ruan xian or the guqin. Each of the 24 pieces explores a specific sentiment. Although not long, each piece presents challenges to the traditional guitar playing techniques and aesthetics. Techniques derived from the Chinese plucking instruments such as “gather”, “vibrate”, “wipe”, and “pick” are exploited, further extended to extravagant syntax like “rumbling and rustling with interleaved playing”. Structured dynamics and contrasting tempos effectively bring out interesting delicacies of the music. In another respect, the music often conveys liberal and relaxing moods. This leisure sentiment is in essence closely related to the strokes in calligraphy or the flows of guqin music in terms of ”thrum”, “rub”, “accentuate”, and "linger". Thus, the music exhibits a panoramic view of traditional Chinese music performance techniques and aesthetic tastes of "left blank". These are exactly the feast and the breakthrough that this classical guitar suite has contributed to music. Because the mood created in each piece is based on a specific poem, the 24 pieces are like 24 musical paintings with the corresponding Tang poems as the underlying blueprints.
