In this special promo episode, I share a reading of the Prologue and Chapter One from When Hushed Voices Die - its newly translated Chinese edition 《琴聲・魅語》. As I prepare for the upcoming publication of the Chinese version, I’m opening the door to both worlds — the original English narrative and its evolving Chinese voice.

I will continue to explore the story’s unfolding plot, the translation and revision process behind 《琴聲・魅語》, and the emotional journey of shaping a novel across languages. From creative breakthroughs to the quiet struggles only authors know, I’ll be happy to share how this story transforms, deepens, and finds new resonance.

Whether you’re discovering the novel for the first time or following its bilingual rebirth, I invite you to join me as When Hushed Voices Die begins to speak in two tongues.

在這集特別的宣傳篇中，我將朗讀《When Hushed Voices Die》全新完成的中文譯本 《琴聲・魅語》的序章與第一章。隨著我開始籌備中文版的出版，我也同時為兩個世界敞開大。

之後我會持續分享故事逐步展開的情節、《琴聲・魅語》背後的翻譯與修訂歷程，以及作為作者在跨語言創作中所經歷的情感旅程。從創作上的突破，到只有作者才懂的那些靜默掙扎，我都會樂於分享。

無論你是第一次接觸這部小說，或是一路見證它的雙語重生，都誠摯邀請你與我一同聆聽——當 When Hushed Voices Die 開始以兩種語言訴說它的故事。

Step into the Story: When Hushed Voices Die

In this artistic preview episode, I invite you to step quietly into the world of my novel. Through a revised reading of the English Chapter One, the story begins to stir — where silence carries weight, and hushed voices linger beneath the surface.

This episode offers a glimpse of the atmosphere and emotion that shape the tale, ahead of the upcoming Chinese edition. Thank you for joining me at the threshold of the story.

🎙️Bach Toccata in C Minor – Burst of Energy

In this episode of Bach and Me, we step into one of Bach’s most electrifying keyboard creations: the Toccata in C minor.
A toccata is all about touch — a chance for the performer to unleash bold gestures, quick flashes of brilliance, and a sense of improvisatory freedom. Bach takes that idea and turns it into a dramatic opening full of tension, contrast, and sheer momentum.

🎙️ Episode Description: Bach’s Toccata in C Minor — A Personal Encounter

In this episode, I dive into one of the most electrifying moments of my musical life: the first time I encountered Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata in C minor. This piece didn’t just cross my path—it stopped me in my tracks. I’ll share the story of how I discovered it, what instantly drew me in, and why its restless energy and architectural beauty have stayed with me ever since.

Taking you inside a piece that shaped me as a pianist — Bach’s Toccata in C minor. I lived with this work and studied it for two years. This wasn’t just practice. It was a journey. A journey through discipline, discovery, frustration, breakthrough, and ultimately, transformation.

In this trailer for Lisa Cheng Piano, I open the door to that experience: what this Toccata demanded of me, what it revealed, and why it still resonates so deeply in my playing.

Bach and Me is an intimate Q&A–style podcast where I open the door to my lifelong love affair with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

It explores the questions I’m most often asked—why Bach’s music moves me so deeply, how it has shaped my artistic life, and what continues to draw me back to his work again and again.

This season, I’m diving into a project especially close to my heart: revisiting the Goldberg Variations.
