Zheyin Shizi Qinpu
Qin Handbook of Music from the Zhejiang [School] Elucidated through Lyrics 1 |
浙音釋字琴譜
<1491 |
At the beginning of the second folio of the only surviving copy of Zheyin Shizi Qinpu is the statement "edited and interpreted by Antiquarian Gong Jing of Nanchang"; the tablature itself is thought to have come from the collection of Ming prince Zhu Dianpei, grandson of the compiler of Shen Qi Mi Pu , Zhu Quan. This surviving copy was missing some pages including several at the front. The 42 remaining pieces include 28 with tablature identical to that of pieces of the same titles in Shen Qi Mi Pu. The other 14 are in a similar style, but all 42 have had lyrics added.2 My CD Music Beyond Sound consists of the 12 complete pieces which are new or different, plus one of the two fragmentary pieces. My transcriptions of these 13 pieces have also been published.
