[ Repertoire of Wu Wei - An Illusion of The World ]
Almost all contemporary work for sheng has been created by Master Wu Wei, whose catalog I have compiled, bringing together the virtuoso’s repertoire created since the end of the 1990s. Additionally, as the linchpin of contemporary sheng repertoire, around 300 works have been dedicated to him and interpreted by him. He is at the center of rich experiences between East and West which encourage creation, improvisation, interdisciplinarity, and teaching without borders, as he brings the history of the mouth organ into the present. This catalog will allow for the chronological and geographical observation of the development from the beginning of the contemporary sheng repertoire through the lenses of musicology and sociology.
