I'm looking for a catalog of traditional qupai! I found this but I don't think it's a catalog... more like a theoretical/historical discussion of qupai.

Welcome to the forum, shivasage. I was not familiar with the term, and so googled it. There is a Wikipedia article with a few bits, and some references. You might also check with people on the Facebook group Traditional Chinese Music. Several members have a fairly academic orientation, and may be able to direct you.
The Alan Thrasher book might still be worth checking out. I suggest ordering it via Inter-Library Loan from your local library. You might even try to contact Dr. Thrasher directly. I don't have contact info myself, but you might find it by digging around with Google, or from the UBC.
Best wishes,
David

I'm not familiar with the term, but found the same Wikipedia page. I checked out some of the referenced songs in Youtube to see if they were operas, and found a guy playing jinghu with this introduction song 八板 八岔 小开门谱子:
Notable qupai Ba Ban (八板, Eight Beats)
I downloaded his video as well as the music score -- it's erhuang style opera (G major) with more sixteenth notes than I can count!! This will be a good workout for me.
Thanks everyone for your posts.
Regrds, paul...

I saw the Kindle version as well, and was briefly tempted. I have a number of books on Chinese music, and have enjoyed some of them. I found though that I much prefer playing and listening to music than reading about it. Best wishes, David

Best wishes, David I'm a theory major from music school, so I love reading about music, although playing is certainly more fun!
