Abstract

“Mongol” Sonata, Op. 6 was written by the composer Jin Ta (b. 1972) in 2019 and published in 2020. This sonata is a contemporary flute and piano work based on the folk music elements of Inner Mongolia, the region of northern China adjacent to Mongolia. This work interprets some Inner Mongolian folk music elements such as Long Song, Nugalaa, Khoomii, Uliger and mimics the traditional Inner Mongolian instruments’ sound on flute and piano. This project will introduce the main Chinese Inner Mongolian folk elements and analyze the way Op. 6 portrays them in the music.
