Quotable

"A lot of Americans are familiar with European, Russian or South American music, but very few of them know about Chinese music. Chinese music is very beautiful, and I like it a lot. I wish more Western people appreciated Chinese music and culture.

US pianist Joel Schoenhals said as he released an album of Chinese piano music in the United States. The album includes 16 pieces such as Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon, composed in 1935 for a Chinese instrumental ensemble.
