about the music:
The original guqin solo was composed by the renowned scholar and guqin master, Ji Kang, one of the "seven gentlemen in the bamboo forest" in the Wei period (3rd century). It is said to recount a story in the epoch of the Warring States (around 3rd century B.C.) about Nie Zheng assassinating the King of the Han Kingdom to avenge the murder of his father. The entire piece is filled with overpowering momentum; the style is unique, expressing deep feelings with intense fight scenes. According to history, the composer, Ji Kang, who refused to serve the tyrant emperor Sima, was persecuted and finally killed by the order of the Emperor. Ji Kang performed this tune for his friends and faithful students on the site just before he was executed.

Italian verse and English translation:
Non piangere, Liu,
Se in un lontano giorno io t'ho sorriso,
per quel sorriso,
dolce mia fianculla, m'ascolta:
Il tuo signore sara domani, forse solo al mondo...
Non lo lasciare, portalo in via con te.
Dell'esilio addolcisci a lui le strade.
Questo, o mia povera Liu,
al tuo piccolo cuore non cade,
chiedi colui che non sorride piu!
Don't cry, Liu-
If in a distant day I smiled at you,
Of this smile my sweet maiden, listen to me:
Your man will be tomorrow, perhaps alone in the world
Don't lose it, carry it with you.
In exile, it will sweeten his roads.
With this, my poor Liu,
Your small heart won't break,
Ask him who smiles no more!
ACT I. Peking, legendary times. In a quarter swarming with people near the Forbidden City, a Mandarin reads an edict: any prince seeking to marry Princess Turandot must answer three riddles - and if he fails, he will die. Her latest suitor, the Prince of Persia, is to be executed at the rise of the moon. Bloodthirsty citizens urge the executioner on, and in the tumult a slave girl, Liù, calls out for help when her aged master is pushed to the ground. A handsome youth recognizes him as his long-lost father, Timur, vanquished king of Tartary. When the old man tells his son, Prince Calàf, that only Liù has remained faithful to him, the youth asks her why. She replies it is because once, long ago, Calàf smiled on her. The mob again cries for blood, but the moon emerges, and all fall into sudden, fearful silence. The doomed suitor passes on the way to execution, moving the onlookers to call upon Turandot to spare his life. Turandot appears and, with a contemptuous gesture, bids the execution proceed. The crowd hears a death cry in the distance. Calàf, smitten with the princess' beauty, determines to win her as his bride, striding to the gong that proclaims the arrival of a new suitor. Turandot's ministers Ping, Pang and Pong try to discourage the youth, their warnings supplemented by the entreaties of Timur and the tearful Liù. Despite their pleas, Calàf strikes the fatal gong and calls out Turandot's name.

It is upon listening to this piece (彝族舞曲) that I have become big fan of Liu Fang's. The original music was composed by Wang Huiran (王惠然)in the early 60s. The melody was used by an Chinese pop group so taht it became known to many people (including myself) as a pop song called "Nine hundred ninty nine roses". Later on I discovered that it is a pipa solo music. I love Liu Fang's interpretation. I cannot find a video of her playing, just MP3 sample in http://www.philmultic.com/liufang/MP3/yidance.html
and many pictures in her website: http://www.liufangmusic.net/photos/
I just put then together and hope you like it.
Merry Christmas and happy new year.
