Repetoire and Current Piece you are Learning

[Charlie Huang]

I thought we might like to share our repetoire and tell us about what pieces we are currently learning. My repetoire use to be composed of over 20 pieces , but as you know, that number is significantly reduced since I have less time on the qin. I am mainly concentrating on earlier pieces I've learnt, trying to get fingering and technique correct. But anyways,

Pieces that I can place accurately and/or with confidence:
Qiu Feng Ci
Yangguan Sandie
Jiu Kuang
Guan San Yue
Meihua Sannong
Pu'an Zhou
Liang Xiao Tin
Yi Guren
Ping Sha Luo Yan
Guqin Yin
Changmen Yuan
Yu Qiao Wen Da

Pieces that I've forgotten and need tablature to play:
Shanghe Tingquan
Oulu Wangji
Gaoshan
Sakura Sakura

Pieces I've totally forgotten:
Gu Yuan
Weeping for Yan Hui
Kai Gu
Xiaoxiang Shuiyun
Lisao
Liushui
Jiuyu Changman
Haolin
Jingquan Yin
Shanju Yin

Current piece I'm learning:
Guangling San (SQMP) to around 4/6

My repetoire is very very small on purpose. I really want to master the pieces before trying something more challenging like Xiao Xiang Shui Yun (which I really love).

I really want to use the graded curriculum from the NAGA site but locating the pieces is a challenge.

A question. Does Li Xiangting's new book include Gao Shan Yue? I can't seem to locate the notation for it.

Do you mean Guan Shan Yue? Yes, his book does include it.

Oops!
I did mean Guan Shan Yue.

Thank you!!

Hi, all,
Hey, Charlie, would you mind posting the list of pieces in LXT's book? Also, does anyone have any experience with and/or opinions about the Collection of Guqin Pieces books sold by CCN? And blueharp, GY's book also has a version of Guang Shan Yueh.
Keep playing, everybody!

LXT's book melody list:
Changxiang Si
Hezhong Jiu
Qiufeng Ci
Feng qiu Huang
Yangguan Sandie
Jiu Kuang
Pingsha Luoyan
Oulu Wangji
Pu'an Zhou
Guanshan Yue
Changmen Yuan

The Guqin Quji is important to get as it contains loads of melodies to learn from. Too numerous to list. You should get it. I've learnt most of my repetoire from those books.

Hi, all.
Charles, thanks for the information and advice. I finally bit the bullet and ordered both books today.
Talk soon,
