00:00 A1 -《歌舞引》[Ge Wu Yin] (Dance Prelude)
作曲 (Composed by): 劉天華 [Liu Tianhua]
琵琶獨奏 (Pipa solo)
"Ge Wu Yin" 《歌舞引》 (Prelude to Song and Dance) is a piece for solo pipa (琵琶, Chinese lute) by the Chinese composer Liu Tianhua (刘天华, 1895-1932). This piece, whose title has also been translated as "Dance Prelude" or "From the Opera," was composed in the spring of 1927. After attending a performance of an Italian opera with his wife, Liu was stimulated by the dance scenes, and this became the inspiration for this inventive piece.
