[ensemble playing a taal] (man) when i go on my individual rounds of improvisation, i have to keep count, and land back in an interesting manner so that that particular note on my main theme lands back on the first beat of the cycle. if it does not, that is a very disreputable state of affairs.

[laughter] i do not know. my grandfather was a side -- violinist with the san francisco symphony. my father was quite a good pianist. my brother was musical, my sister was not. i have a musical cousin. i do not really know. >> let me put it this way and i will try to stumble through a scientific explanation. let me remind the audience at this point that we are going to take questions in five minutes. there are microphones set up in the aisles. please be ready with your questions. if you had not become a musician professionally, do you think you would still be playing? >> yes, i think i would still be playing, but everybody should play a little bit, si

for the chinese chin does not specify all aspects of performance, players must develop their own rhythmicy ancient chinese music. there are more than 3,000 pieces of chin music existing in china in a simplified chinese character notation. this tablature shows you which string your hand put out and what kind of techniques. but unfortunately, there's no rhythm at all which means you cannot read off music directly from the notation. in most cases, different chin player has their own different interpretation for the same piece. but if the interpretation is very good and everybody likes it, then you become popular and people accept it.
