This qin was made by WP with artificial lacquer cracks and was strung with metal/nylon strings.
演奏曲目四首古曲都是大曲, 趙女士的演奏技巧高超, 運指極快. 其兒也試圖朝這個方向走. 聽到最後反而會希望如果能來首慢的古琴曲, 會平衡整場演奏會的氣氛. 個人覺得似乎把古琴彈得越快, 越能表示中國音樂也能震撼人心. 但古琴最重要的本質"大音希聲"以及"輕微淡遠"就被忽略了. 這似乎是公眾古琴音樂會的兩難及矛盾.
My report of the conference will be at my Guqin Study Journals page.
