The idiomatic writing for piano can be regarded as a musical style specifically conceived for the piano, and focuses on exploring the physical characteristics of the piano. Although there are numerous studies on Wang Jianzhong’s piano compositions, there is almost no study concentrate on his piano work’s idiomatic writing style, also no study about using idiomatic writing to help guide the performance of his piano works. The main aims in this research are: to identify and examine Wang Jianzhong’s piano idiomatic writing, as well as providing a performance guide on how to perform Wang Jianzhong’s Three Variations of the Plum Blossom Melody effectively. Meanwhile, Karen Wise, Mirjam James and John Rink’s conceptual framework provide practical guidelines and ideas for the author to analyse idiomatic writing techniques. Expect to achieve anticipated outcomes by utilising idiomatic writing to enhance piano performance.
