The main purpose of this CD project is to introduce compositions by Korean contemporary composers, especially those who adapt Korean traditional musical elements into contemporary musical languages. This project introduces four exquisite piano solo works: (i) Korean Dance Suite by Young-Jo Lee, (ii) Baugoge Variations by Young-Jo Lee, (iii) Variations Sur Un Theme Populaire Coreen by Sung-Ki Kim and (iv) 12 Contes by Sung-Ki Kim. In addition to the recording of these four pieces, this paper provides bibliographical information about the composers, program notes, and performance suggestions. Neither the public nor the musical community knows these four pieces well. Therefore, this CD project will not only introduce four pieces that effectively express unique traditional Korean culture, but it is hoped that these four pieces will enter the standard piano repertoire.
