What is the background and significance of Erhu Opera "A Flower"?

This song is based on the music material of Ren Tongxiang suona solo "A Flower", which has a strong southwest Shandong flavor. Appropriate use of modern music techniques and western symphonic music structure thinking.

As the name implies, the music can be divided into three parts, among which the "introduction" is mostly erhu solo, except for the rapid sequence written by the band to create a tragic situation, which is only occasionally embellished and set off.

The chant is composed of adagio and medium board, and Allegro is composed of Allegro and Allegro. Although the speed of music changes occasionally, the overall speed gradually accelerates, showing a "scattered, slow, medium, fast and urgent" speed development layout. This gradual treatment is a common technique in Chinese traditional music, and it is also similar to the principle of free-form development commonly used in modern western music, which accords with people's aesthetic orientation at present.
