也許一切真的是自然而然?

人為所使然?! (病毒!? 人為也是自然的一部分? 也許人根本不屬於這個星球, 哈哈~)

從六年前開始網路教學, 到這動盪的庚子年,

奄奄一息的...

在敲打鍵盤中,

死灰復燃.

微微的火光

是否能延續不滅?

大家還是念舊的

只是並不一定能攜手共進

但君子不怕交情淡如水

還是遵循自然而然吧

Conversation

Some comments from the zoom meeting:

Benjamin van der Wel : It is wonderful to see how human these arguments are. Mozart faced these exact criticisms and questions when he changed music in Europe. And so did Debussy centuries later. The dynamics of it all is wonderful to me. Thank you everyone.

Benjamin van der Wel : As a brand-new person to the qin I’m really enjoying everyone’s playing and also the discussions. Thank you all. _(|)_

Jenny : my violin teacher always said, when you are learning, learn to be exact, but when performing, it's a bit like jazz where harmony and feel becomes more important

Esmeralda Herrero : I like the modern music and traditional qin music but it was modern music that first got me interested in the qin but I mostly play traditional scores now, so I agree with Alan in that modern music can make qin more reachable

Joshua Meschke : agreed, likewise it was modern scores that introduced me to the qin, which later led me to finding older/ more traditional scores.

João Oliveira : I agree, I also first got in contact with the qin due to modern music and I belive modern music is a very efficient way to spark the interest of someone who is not familiar with the instrument.

Anya Badaldavood : If you are using Zoom to teach, you can also put the students in breakout rooms for practice during the instances that you are teaching a group of students. As the host, you can visit the rooms or close them to have the students join the main session.
...
Marilyn W. : There is also a misnomer about what are “beginner pieces.” All qin pieces are a challenge, some are much longer than others. Even the “simplest” qin piece can be played a challenge to be played beautifully or poorly.

Maya Choi : The beauty in simplicity is most beautiful thing, I believe.
...
Jenny : thank you all, this was highly informative and thought-provoking! the music was all beautiful!

Thank you everyone.

Peiyou Chang (US) - Guang Ling San 廣陵散 (Short version)
*Guang Ling San (Song of Guang Ling) may have existed since the 1st to 3rd centuries or from the court music of Sui dynasty in the 6th century. Peiyou studied this piece from the Ming dynasty handbook, SQMP. It is a very long piece, with about 42 sections, and more than 20 minutes long, but she played a short version which is about 9 minutes. For more information about the story behind this piece in English and Chinese, one can read from her blog.

This piece has the character of 聲多韻少 more Sheng than Yun (which means more right hand plucking sound than left hand sliding and vibrato sound). Music before the Ming dynasty has this character. After the Ming, qin music has developed to be more Yun than Sheng.

Since more and more friends have show interests to join the on-line yaji, we plan to run the next yaji by using Zoom. We also plan to do two different kinds of yaji. For the odd months (Jan, Mar, May, July, Sep, and Nov), we will have Guqin yaji, which mainly focus on the Guqin. For the even months (Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, and Dec) we will have music and literature yaji for multi cultures. The next yaji will be on May 24, for the Guqin then.

我們有來自世界各地的朋友:
布達佩斯匈牙利，巴西，奧地利，愛爾蘭，英國，德國以及美國的西海岸和東海岸。謝謝大家的參與。

由於越來越多的朋友對加入在線雅集表現出濃厚的興趣，我們計劃使用Zoom運行下一個雅集。我們還計劃做兩種不同的雅集。在奇數月份（1月，3月，5月，7月，9月和11月），我們將有古琴雅集，主要關注古琴。在偶數月份（2月，4月，6月，8月，10月和12月），我們將提供針對多種文化的音樂和文學雅集。下一場雅集將在5月24日舉行，屆時將是以古琴為主。

Some clips of Alan's talk including Meian school's of Autumn Wind and musical dialect and folk music.



Peiyou's talk about The Esoteric Teachings of No Form 色空訣


To listen to the other two versions of Heart Sutra which Peiyou has studied:
http://peiyouqin.blogspot.com/2020/02/guqin-heart-sutra-two-versions.html

After watching this video, I feel that I can add something more to my answer to Esmi's question regarding dapu... I found that just by doing it more and more, you can find your own judgement on how you want to play the piece  that you are reconstructing. You can first study pieces that have recordings from other qin masters, then start to do your own reconstruction that does not have a recording you can listen to. And just play it, experiment with it, and find a good rhythm you like, until you can play it from your heart.

Ralph's talk about his story of encountering Chinese music

There are some musical links in his talk can be watch and listen from the following:
