The instrument's most significant development spanned from Han to Tang Dynasty.During the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) the Pipa become the most popular music instrument in CHINA. The Tang Dynasty Pipa was larger than the modern version and was played with a wooden plectrum instead of the fingernails (a technique still used by Japanese descendent, the Biwa) .As Chinese Dance performance gradually changed through the years, the Pipa structure and performance techniques changed as well, compensating for the new demands as an accompaniment instrument.The Pipa traditionally had 4 silk strings, being a Silk Instrument in the BA YIN scheme. In the West, this instrument is classified as a Chordophone.The Pipa technique is characterised by spectacular finger dexterity and virtuosi programmatic effects. Rolls, slaps, pizzicato, harmonics and noises are often combined into extensive tone poems vividly describing famous battles or other exciting scenes. The instrument is also capable of more lyrical effects in pieces inspired by poetry, landscapes and historical themes.Pipa music has been loved by Chinese people through centuries and there used to be a large repertoire of pipa music, a lot of them were lost, and some of them were handed down from generation to generation through individual artists and scholars.ArtistLin FongProfileN/AFormatCDGenreInstrumental / PipaPlaying Time61 minutesYear of ReleaseRe-mastered and Re-released in 2004Record LabelLife RecordsUPC9556773010469ConditionBrand New / Sealed with CD wrapper.What is shown above is my personal copy, that's why you get to view what's inside.
