Features: This set of books is divided into two volumes: the Theory Volume and the Music Volume. The Theory Volume provides a detailed analysis of the basic embouchure techniques and various performance techniques of the dizi, as well as their notation. It includes both theoretical explanations and numerous examples for empirical evidence. It covers general music theory knowledge while also incorporating traditional Chinese music concepts. This allows readers not only to understand "what" but also "why." The Music Volume encompasses a wide range of folk tunes and composed pieces, from beginner-friendly pieces to traditional northern-style tunes and southern-style classics that are on the verge of being lost. Each piece, regardless of its length or difficulty, has been carefully reviewed and personally verified by the author. Detailed performance techniques, various tempo and expressive markings are strictly indicated to facilitate transmission and learning. This book provides an excellent resource for dizi enthusiasts and dizi teachers in various art academies, as well as being a fine and authoritative edition among similar publications.
