Help on how to play Lin Chong Ye Bin

[shunatfrangipani]

I've been trying to teach myself this piece with some success but have been stymied by one of the passages. Just before the "blizzard" there are two fast passages with a short lead-in to the second passage which goes

"doh-doh" (half beat-one and a half beat)
"doh-doh" (half beat-one and a half beat)
"doh-d0h-doh" (half beat-quarterbeat-quarterbeat)
"doh-d0h-doh" (half beat-quarterbeat-quarterbeat)
"doh-d0h-doh" (half beat-quarterbeat-quarterbeat)
(I sound like Homer but you get the idea)

then something that seems to be a galloping horse

I can't get the feel of this short in-between piece. If any can tell me how it should be played or has any suggestions as to how to practice it, I would be forever grateful.

First, my notes have different ryhthm. I checked several books, and the rhythm is like:

"doh-doh" (quarter beat, 3/4 beat, written as first 1 has two underlines, and the second 1 has 1 underline and a dot)
"doh-doh" (same as above)
"doh-doh" (same as above)
"doh-doh" (same as above)
"doh-d0h-doh" (quarterbeat-quarterbeat-half beat, written as first two 1s have two underlines and 3rd 1 has 1 underline)
"doh-d0h-doh" (same as above)



First 4 doh-doh is from slow to fast, a build up to the new speed. Then the next two doh-doh-doh is the beginning of the new speed. I think the trick of this passage is the thumb fliping. The speed of thumb fliping must be fast enough that it sounds like quarter-quarter-half beat, otherwise it'll sound like triplet.

Sorry about the late reply been away and just got back to my computer.

OK, think I've got it thanks. Will practise and let you know how it goes!
