Features: Since Liu Tianhua pioneered the art of erhu in the early 20th century, it has developed rapidly in sync with the times, producing numerous outstanding talents and repertoire. There are countless erhu teaching materials available, and currently, they are even more abundant. However, upon closer examination, it is rare to find materials specifically focused on erhu ensembles. Therefore, the publication of this series of erhu ensemble books by Zhang Feilong and his colleagues, alumni of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, has indeed significantly filled this gap in the field. It benefits both professional and amateur learners in erhu art education. The authors have demonstrated exceptional creativity, and a distinctive feature of the series is its integration of etudes, pieces, and adapted songs into a cohesive creative framework. Each volume maintains the overarching theme while maintaining its own unique characteristics, forming a cohesive series. Moreover, the authors are highly accomplished university teachers who excel in teaching, research, performance, and composition, demonstrating a profound theoretical and compositional foundation in erhu music. All of these are commendable. It is believed that the publication of this series of erhu ensemble books will undoubtedly play a role in advancing erhu art education.
