Since its politicised premiere in 1969 during the Cultural Revolution, the Concerto has become popular in China and amongst overseas Chinese nationalists. It is noted for a difficult solo part.

And then take hands.

Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.”

With the turning tide”
