This is truly incredible! Playing this caprice on an erhu must be about as hard as playing it on the tuba. Congratulations for a performance 2nd to none. I am sure that Jascha Heifetz would have admired your performance of this most difficult etude. I am curious as to how this caprice compares to traditional music in difficulty for this instrument.
I always liked the sound of the Urhu - makes me think of Asia... and Paganini's 24th is my favorite piece of music for any strung instrument... this was an unbelievable performance.
its amazing how an instrument with such a small resonating body can sound so beautiful. im guessing that octaves/10ths are not posssible on erhu? does anyone know how the 2 string are tuned?
usually, the inner string (the string closer to the performer) is tuned to D just above middle C, and the outer string is tuned to A just above middle C. so the strings are a perfect 5th apart. the highest note is about 4 octaves above middle C.
I would also like to mention that the 2 strings are the same as the 2 middle strings in the violin (about). They are tuned in fifths which is why it is called the "chinese fiddle"
Wow! Amazing! True admiration to that erhu artist from a German violinist! Congrats!!!! :-)

二胡并不是很适合表现西洋音乐。就如钢琴演奏二泉映月或者渔舟唱晚未尝不可,但是韵味不同了。不过,尝试未尝不可。

The first few seconds of the video list the performer's name as Kong Yan Yan. I don't recall any SCO players with that name.
And SCO refers to Singapore Chinese Orchestra, right?

SCO refers to Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and Kong Yan Yan is in it.

Looks like only. I highly doubt she is.
When the video was filmed, she was a student at one of the music conservatories in China.
