"Gusu Xing" is a classic bamboo flute that is well received by the general public, and it is also a must-read for every flute player. "Gusu" is the old name of Suzhou, so the name of the song means visiting Suzhou. This piece of music has a beautiful and friendly melody, elegant and comfortable style, relaxed and lively rhythm, concise and complete structure, and is one of the representative pieces of the Southern School Qudi. The music is like an ink painting depicting the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also like a clear tea before the rain - its fragrance is refreshing.
The melody of "Gusu Xing" is based on Kunqu Opera music and has the flavor of Jiangnan. The music is elegant and expresses the beautiful scenery of the ancient city of Suzhou (known as Gusu in ancient times) and the joyful mood of people visiting. The quiet introduction is a seductive picture of faint morning mist, pavilions and pavilions, and small bridges and flowing water. The lyrical Andante allows visitors to enjoy the exquisite and beautiful Suzhou Gardens. The middle section is an enthusiastic little allegro, where tourists play and overflow with emotion. Then the theme is reproduced, and in the compressed tones, the melody is more pleasant to listen to, making people immersed in the beautiful scenery for a long time, lingering and forgetting to return, which is intriguing. This piece has a deep and long-lasting charm, and brings into play the soft, broad and round characteristics of the flute. Combined with the techniques of doubling, beating, and vibrato that are often used in southern flute performances, the performance of the piece is more moving and perfect.
