Chinese violin music experienced significant development in the 20th century, mirroring the nation's cultural, political, and social transformations. My aim is to explore and highlight this evolution through four representative works: Sicong Ma's Rondo No. 1, Yongcheng Qin's Tone Poem at the Seashore, Gang Chen's Sunshine on Tashkurgan, and Pei Lu's Flute and Drum at Sunset. The study of these works provides insight into how Chinese composers adapted and transformed Western musical influences to create a distinctive Chinese violin repertoire. By analyzing these works, one can gain a deeper understanding of the impact of historical events and cultural changes on Chinese composers and their musicType
