Guqin: Autumn Thoughts at Lake Dongting 洞庭秋思

洞庭秋思 first appears in Xilutang Qintong 西麓堂琴统 (1549). My playing is based on Zha Fuxi's reconstruction.

This piece is dreadful for my ring finger.

@chengyanslc hehe, yes, I know it is quite hard on the ring finger, but don't be discouraged, since practice makes perfect :-)

I still love this peice so much! Nicely played and I hope yr fingers are not tangled! Mine are........:) 

[theowind]

@eastwest3002 Haha, thank you! I haven't played this piece for quite a while. I am sure you are playing it much better than I am now :-)

Oh! Yes,your Kaqin's strings are too short to produce deep bass. You may think a longer one.

Hello, my dear wingplum,

it's a really very very nice idea of yours to imitate this wonderful piece of music on my "kaqin" (kantele-guqin).

But I must realise this with my own playing technique, because the strings of my instruments are very heavy to play. Btw, it's not an electrical, but an accoustical instrument. Many many thanks again for your kindly comment, dear wingplum!

Yours,

Volker

Thank you :-)

[wingplum]

To me, I don't care your fingering too much,what I like is your musical feeling.

Volker400 , My friend ,how difficult is it to imitate this deep mellow Qin voice in your electric guqin?
