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

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.

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.

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.
