Chen-Hsin Su

SU, Chen-Hsin was born in Chiayi, Taiwan, in 1989. He graduated from the Department of Medicine at China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan, in 2015, and is a licensed doctor. He is currently doing his one-year compulsory military service (2015-2016). Dr. Su started his learning of piano performance at a class of musical instrument performance at the fifth grade of elementary school. He began to play Mozart’s piano sonata after taking piano lessons for a year. He received a great deal of praise from his teacher of the class because of a talent for music. Since then he has been greatly interested in piano performance. However, as a middle school student in the following six years, he had relatively little time for playing piano due to heavy schoolwork loads.

During the seven years of university life, he had spent much time on piano-related study. He read books of musicology, attended concerts and seminars, requested advices from teachers, masters and friends, drilled performance skills, as well as studied composing. He participated in The Fifth Digital Music Writing Competition held by the China Medical University, and won the second place (2010). He held a piano solo performance—Liszt’s Night sponsored by the China Medical University (2012).

Dr. Su especially likes the master works of Liszt, Chopin, Faure, Ravel, Debussy, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff and Kapustin. He anticipates to have more piano performances and music writings to share his joys from music with people while practicing medicine in the future.

蘇振欣（1989～），台灣嘉義市人，中國醫藥大學醫學系畢業，已取得中華民國醫師執照，現服兵役中。鋼琴的啟蒙始於小學五年級時的無心插柳，原本是父母想培養兒子一項才藝，在樂器才藝班學了兩年琴，然而學習速度頗令師長驚嘆，僅一年的琴齡即可彈奏莫札特鋼琴奏鳴曲。可惜的是國中後因課業逐漸繁重並未繼續學琴。高中時意外聽到同學在音樂課堂上彈奏蕭邦的鋼琴作品，深受震撼與感動，至此始重拾彈琴的熱情，在課餘廣泛聆聽古典鋼琴音樂，並且越彈奏越感興趣。

考上醫學系之後，一方面較有時間練習過去在網路上聽到所喜愛的曲子，一方面也開始想彌補因為琴齡過短，以至於本身技術與知識的不足，因此在課餘時間積極練琴並且找老師上課，也廣泛參與校內外藝文活動及音樂性質社團。大二時參加中國醫藥大學第五屆數位音樂創作比賽獲得第二名，並擔任得獎作品發表會召集人及發表會主持人。大四時，在中國醫藥大學贊助下，更在學校學生活動中心舉辦個人的鋼琴獨奏會－李斯特之夜。

大學時期為作者的音樂奠基黃金時期，他主動認識音樂系的老師，廣泛結交各地喜愛音樂的專業朋友，時常和他們討論自己所感興趣的音樂，也分享自己所創作的作品，獲得不少寶貴的建議與指教。目前他最喜愛的音樂家是李斯特(Liszt)，蕭邦(Chopin)，佛瑞(Faure)，拉威爾(Ravel)，德布西(Debussy)，史克里亞賓(Scriabin)，拉赫曼尼諾夫(Rachmaninoff)，卡布斯汀(Kapustin)等作曲家。他希望在日後行醫的業餘空閒，能繼續感受音樂帶給他的美好，也讓自己創作的音樂能被別人聽到，並持續被別人喜愛，演奏下去。
