This book includes 44 outstanding erhu solo pieces, created and publicly released from the era of Liu Tianhua to recent years, which are beloved by erhu enthusiasts yet scattered across various versions. These pieces not only represent a broad spectrum but alsoly reflect the highest level of erhu performance, saving people the trouble of searching for scores everywhere. It can be said that this is a relatively practical erhu repertoire resource.
