我对自己工作的基本要求,就是力求做到让当地本民族的人们听了我写的音乐之后,承认是他们本民族的音乐。能够被本民族的群众所承认和接受,是对作曲家是最高的评价和奖励。———田联韬问:半个世纪以来,您一直从事民族音乐的研究和创作,第一部电影音乐作品是苗族题材的《火娃》, The basic requirement that I have for my work is to make the people of my own country acknowledge the music of their own people after listening to the music I wrote. Being recognized and accepted by the people of this nation is the highest evaluation and reward for the composer. TIAN Liantao asked: For half a century, you have been engaged in the research and creation of national music. The first film and music work is the “fire baby” of the Miao theme.
