Features: This collection of pieces is primarily intended for erhu learners in China to use for amateur exams organized by various conservatories, art schools, and music institutions. By passing the exams, candidates not only obtain socially recognized certificates but also have the opportunity to receive expert evaluation and guidance, ensuring their training is standardized and systematic. Editor-in-Chief Wang Yongde is a renowned educator and performer in the erhu community. Students he has guided have won 17 first prizes in several national competitions. The National Erhu Examination Collection was compiled under his leadership, incorporating feedback from various sources and following a scientific training progression that advances gradually, with each level carefully reviewed. According to different proficiency levels, the collection is divided into three tiers of ten levels. Each tier clearly indicates the key skills candidates should focus on "hard practice" for that level. Additionally, annotations are provided after each piece, explaining the stylistic and emotional characteristics needed to perform the piece effectively, facilitating candidates' interpretation during performance.
