[runupahill1]

I am almost grateful there are no recordings. I'd hate for this artist to lose the purity and the naturalness, the "organic suchness', of his playing. Thank you very much, amgxpat.

[roundedhalo]

Could you just imagine if all our culture of our great earth just disappeared?

[shaynecocker]

[aaroncurley]

[darthsion71]

[darthsion71]

It makes it sound cooler.I like this song a lot

[candiFLA]

wonderful sound.

[BarnaHang]

Királyság!

[Daikini0]

Ja, teljesen jo! :)

[simon18i]

in this song, most notes is played on different strings filling the gabs of the slower main music on the left hand pressing the strings. about the same tecnique is used on the long sustain instrument like indian sitar and malay sape. this song is played in a way specially to make it fast. in my knowledge.

[JBZjazz]

This really is a wonderfull tune! Unlike most Gu Qin pieces I've heard so far, this one has quite a good tempo to it. Others I've seen are a lot slower.

[khyeoh10]

Better than drink a beer.

[Valdogh]

my friend here says: that he just loves that instrument , he say the simple fact of looking someone playing it is just lovely . my respect

[Scum71succer]

wow awesome !

[clipin]

Does anyone know how to find a recording of this artist. I can find the song by others on itunes, but not this artist.

[amgxpat]

Prof. Gui is just a local scholar here in Nanjing. He is not a celebrity and does not do professional recordings. I wish I could get you a recording, but I doubt they exist.

[divinerain110793]

@clipin

The piece is call "Wine Prolic"

If you want to get it, there's a nice version from the album [Chinese Ancient Music - Vol.1, Picture of Primitive Hunting]

@clipin

The piece is call "Wine Prolic"

If you want to get it, there's a nice version from the album [Chinese Ancient Music - Vol.1, Picture of Primitive Hunting] The artist there is Yao Bingyan.

[ryuhinomaru]

sounds incredibly fimiliar somehow ¬¬

anyway great piece

[NoXp3rt]

Wow nice playing. After hearing and learning of it this piece is pretty nice. I finnaly get to actaully see it played.

BTW it is "the Feigned Drunkard" (according to my sources)

[CharlieHuang]

NAGA translation has it as "Druken Ecstasy" but can be translated as "Wine Mad", "The Drunkard", "Intoxicated", etc.

[hughF]

There are so many different rhythmical interpretations of qin pieces because in the original qin notation there are no rhythmical directions. The directions dictate the sound, by explaining what technique, or what finger should be used, but there are no rhythmical directions. The rhythm is left to the player to decide, though oral transmission ensures that there is some consistency rhythmical style.

[CharlieHuang]

I can see it now! Good!

[CharlieHuang]

Strange, it doesn't seem to load for me... :?

[cairichard]

Hi,

I am student of Master Gui and is now in USA, and I am now practicing this piece of music, I am wandering if I can get a copy of this video.

[Mu1974]

Hi,

nice to see this piece and from a good point of view, too.

I have heard this piece in an older recording somewhere on the web and was wondering why there always seem to be so many different interpretations of classical pieces' rhythms.

Is that due to the broken oral tradition (teacher to student)?

anyway...would love to see more

[CharlieHuang]

Jiu Kuang is rather old, and first appeared in Shenqi Mipu (1425) and belongs in the folio that contains earlier pieces.

The modern Chinese interpretation is the triple time version (sometimes transcribed as 6/8, or 6/8 5/8 as is the case for the above video, which really isn't triple time but compound duple time) which was popularlised by Yao Bingyan. In fact, it was more likely played in 4/4 or 2/4 time in the past because triple and compound rhythms were rare in ancient Chinese music.
