I'd never heard of an Erhu before today. Isn't AB wonderfully educational? And isn't this a fine piece of music?

Jiangyin, sorry, not a big place by Chinese standards - remember having a 'clearance' meeting with all tha authorities that were needed for approval of the project and it was like presenting in the middle of Waterloo station!

What happened on that beautiful night ???? Talk about dangling a carrot DT! ;0)

[DTCwordfan]

Now that I don't have the score too, elina! Probably he lost his gal, the moon turning to tears.....

[Elina]

Well that'll have to do then wont it! .... ;0? ha ha!

It was written for New Year's Evening (Chinese New Year of course) and celebrating the family being together.

I've found the western score if you play an instrument......

I did play the triangle once in the school band, I think they were wondering where to stick me? ;0/

[DTCwordfan]

Maybe they should have signed you up for the Erhu - with its one string!

LOL DT, I think I could manage that!
