The Current Situation of Clarinet Performance of Chinese National Works in China

บทคัดย่อ

          This article examines the current state of clarinet performance in Chinese national works, emphasizing the integration of traditional folk music elements into the repertoire and performance practices. Based on a systematic review of 40 academic documents from the past decade (2014–2024), the study categorizes existing literature into folk instrumental music, folk songs, opera music, and quyi, highlighting notable contributions and regional focus areas. Key works, such as adaptations of "Jasmine Flower" and "Horse Herding Song," demonstrate innovative approaches to blending Western clarinet techniques with Chinese musical aesthetics. However, the study identifies significant gaps, particularly the lack of comprehensive research on clarinet adaptations of folk music from Zhejiang Province and the absence of studies dedicated to clarinet quartets in this context. To address these gaps, the article proposes the development of a *Clarinet Quartet Guidebook on Zhejiang Folk Songs*, aiming to enrich the repertoire, promote regional folk traditions, and advance the cultural exchange between Chinese and Western musical practices. This work underscores the importance of preserving and innovating Chinese traditional music through modern instrumental expressions, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of China's cultural heritage in global musicology.
