Though it is sometimes called the “Chinese violin,” the erhu and violin differ significantly—from the instruments’ construction to the way they are played. With only two strings and a bow fixed between them, the erhu is highly emotive, captivating listeners with its soul-stirring voice. This piece was originally written by D.F. for erhu and piano. In this adaptation, three erhus play as one, exploring the traditional Chinese belief that artistic inspiration has a divine source. It demonstrates the erhu’s melodic range and versatility in conversing with the orchestra. A lively Allegro explores unique technical skills like left-hand pizzicato, while the brilliant cadenza further challenges the erhu soloists to display their full range of expression.
