Features: During the compilation of this book, over a thousand popular songs were widely collected. Through repeated selection, songs suitable for the characteristics of the erhu, capable of showcasing erhu playing techniques while possessing certain practice and performance value, were identified. Based on the different situations of each song, they were processed, arranged, and adapted to become erhu pieces suitable for (with some also suitable for professional erhu players). This set of books is divided into three volumes:
Volume 1 contains 150 pieces, all in G.
Volume 2 contains 150 pieces, including 70 in D, 40 in F, 25 in C, and 15 in A.
Volume 3 contains 150 pieces.
Each section follows the teaching principle of progressing from simple to complex and from easy to difficult. Starting with pieces that are relatively simple, easy to master, and suitable for beginners, the difficulty gradually increases, moving from simple to complex until reaching pieces suitable for professional erhu players for performance. The arrangement is generally based on the level of technical and musical expression, from easy to difficult, to facilitate reader learning and use.
