Roving Exhibition - A Rendezvous with the Guqin

Untitled Document

 

Tune for a Pleasant Evening
Passed down by Tsar Teh-yun

 

The piece has been popular since its first publication in a late Ming Dynasty guqin handbook. With the frequent use of soft sliding tones, the music depicts a relaxed atmosphere of a pleasant evening meeting with good friends, bringing out a subtle and serene poetic mood.
