he did it in later stage of life when friends and colleagues in shanghai ask him to compile his works and publish a complete edition. that's also why so many of his older works are edited in the early 2000s. they decided to do a fascimile publication instead of typing them out, which is why is have to write them so neatly i reckon

I didn't notice it was handwritten until I read this.

Hi there, what are the techniques of french impressionism exactly? do you have any good videos explaining these topics? thanks!

French impressionism was heavily influenced by asian music so :) kind of full circle here

​@@everythingtheone6110 hmm probably the harmonic choices at the beginning (parallel chord structures, in this case three maj7-9 chords moving a whole-step down from E to C) combined with the use of fourths and fifths in the woodwind voicings. Then you have the orchestration aspect, that is quite textural. It reminds me a lot of Hisaishi's (from the studio ghibli soundtracks) compositions in that regard, still tonal but with some ambiguity. Much like the "One summer's day" intro. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irFhfM2QktPFnp8.html

I was actually thinking the EXACT same thing. Except, Italian, not French. A la Respighi.

​@everythingtheone6110 impressionism is the reactionary movement against romanticism. Their music is capturing a dream like sense and embodying emotions of water, wind,eroticism, fragrance etc. Harmonies are dissonant but have blurry harmonies. They blend this with modes, whole tone scales and asian influences. There's heavy pedaling or sounds that overlap other notes to also blend. Fauré's mature period was writing in a way that the romantic school did not teach. Debussy fully finished what Fauré started and also made music more free form and free of key. It is atonality without the sense of 12 tone music or serialism. Ravel created new techniques and ripple sounds to show a unique soundscape of impressionism. Others also wrote unique impressionist music (Albeniz, de Falla, Uuno Klami, Griffes, Cyril Scott, Delius, Satie, Cras, Schmitt,Bax etc hope this helps :)

Me too

Never heard of this composer or any of his music but this comment was enough to peak my curiosity

Pug Man There are several Chinese composers who introduce impressionist musicality on their music. I suggest you to search in this channel, there are a lot of worth-to-hear pieces

@@user-cj6um3st2w He was a Chinese composer of last century, who just passed away in 2017.....

The first page could have been a part in Debussy's La Mer.

@@LasseKarhu Impressionism and styles of Chinese music is very comparable even cannot say which affects which (after all impressionism contains a lot of Chinese music influence). Some La-mer-like techniques in this piece (eg. pentatonic scale, ad lib solo on string tremelos (section 1), portamento on string melodies ....) are elements that can be easily found in Chinese orchestral music composed around 1970s.

Is there anywhere I can purchase or download a score that you know of? Or other performances? I absolutely adore this work and would love to study it in more depth!

Hello, did you find it? I tried on Spotify but unlikely

Hey Fauzan, have you been able to acquire this score? I'm interested as well. Thanks!

@@santimontali I am. I can forward the email if you want. Can I get your email?

@@fauzanrahman3149 dear Fauzan I would like to have access to the score if you please :)

It was 1965 when the piece was written. At that time Hans Zimmer was only 8 years old.

@@XinhaoZheng if someone, than Holst...

Hans Zimmer is a joke!
