English Title: From Note to Structure: Key Elements of Guqin Music
Attendance
John Thompson, Peiyou Chang, Marilyn Wong, Yuni Han, Henry Chan, Jung-ping Yuan, Ralph Knag, Stephen Dydo and guests Tiffany Du and Hongmei Zhang.
Jung-ping discussed playing techniques. He talked about song structures of various types. He emphasized the importance of deeply understanding the notated finger technique when learning a piece; playing should not be free form – there’s a lot to be learned from the notation. Even rhythm can be learned from the fingering.
This was followed by qin playing, further discussion, and, of course, food.
Jung-Ping introduced his new 清明絲絃 Qingming Qin Strings.
Topics of discussion included whether when doing dapu (learning music from tablature rather than from a teacher) one should follow the tablature precisely, in particular to what extent one should or should not add ornaments such as vibrato or slides if the notation does not specifically indicate them.
Master Yuan played Xiao Xiang Shui Yun 瀟湘水雲
Peiyou played Liezi Rides on The Wind 列子御風

from Shen Qi Mi Pu (1425)

generations of NYQS presidents: founding president,
Jung-Ping Yuan; his successor, Stephen Dydo;

When John played Autumn Evening Moon Walk

he kept his transcription in front of him for reference.
