Happy Monday everyone,Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is the 239th episode — Three rings. This piece was composed and recorded yesterday on 3-track guzheng.

Good morning everyone,Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is the 227th episode — Debussy’s guzheng.It was recorded yesterday.

Literally all his music sounds like guzheng to me. Impressionism is probably the closest word to
