An Introduction to the RepertoireInthis book, scores are written in cipher on the five-line staff, horizontallyfrom left to right. Below the staff, the modern hui-fen system of positionalmarkings and the commonly-recognized simplified characters tablature system (jianzipu) are used. The five-line staffsystem presents the musical contours and a general idea of rhythm in the piece,supplementing missing elements from the jianzipusystem. Toemphasize the interpretation of guqin pieces in musical phrases and free meter,no time signature is given under the five-line staff system, and bar-lines areused to express musical phrasing as suggested by the jianzipu and the writers’ interpretation, as opposed torepresenting regulated bar and meter. However, due to the heavy rubato common in qin music, all timevalue are approximate and should not be used as an absolute standard to a metronome.All single tones are combined into one cipher, abandoning the use of connectednotes with ties. Sliding movements are denoted with slurs, and harmonics have adegree (°) symbol on top or below the cipher note. Inmost cases, vibratos and glissandos are represented by arrows and linesdenoting a general pattern of amplitude, length, strength, and degree ofrepetition. The time value of these modifications is included in the previousnote. However, there are cases when full cipher representations are written,emphasizing the detail of how the movement is to be executed. Therepertoire in this book is categorized into three sections. The repertoires Aand B are shorter preludes (yín) and etudes (cao) selected for the beginner to learn while studying variousfingering techniques taught in the earlier chapters, while repertoire C arelarger pieces with more complex motifs, and are more suitable as mainperformance pieces at recitals and gatherings. RepertoireB are pieces that require retuning from the standard tuning (called “externaltunings”), and are clearly marked in the introduction page prior to the score. Thisbook only provides a skeletal repertoire for critical skill development, so it is highly recommended that everystudent should also purchase the two-volume First Edition or three-volume ThirdEdition of the Guqin Quji to expandtheir playing list. Bibliographicalinformation on these books is available under the “Further reading” section.
