Biography

Kuo Chih-Yuan was a Taiwanese composer who created music with elements of traditional Taiwanese music 1 in ways which had not been done before. In this thesis I evaluat e how Kuo uses traditional elements from Taiwanese music in the Kuo Chih Yuan Piano Solo Album and Concertino for Piano and String Orchestra , and suggest how an understanding of these influences might guide an appropriate performance of these works. In my final recital I present my own interpretation of Kuo’s piano music as a product of my research into his life and musical influences.
