Liang Tsai-Ping (, b. Gaoyang County (高阳县), Hebei, China, February 23, 1910 or 1911; d. Taipei, Taiwan, June 28, 2000) was a master of the ''guzheng'', a Chinese traditional zither. He is considered one of the 20th century's most important players and scholars of the instrument. ==Early career== At age 14, Liang moved to Beijing, where he began his studies with Professors Ying-mei Shih (Shi Yingmei) and Tze-you Wei (Wei Ziyou). After printing his first work, ''Ni Cheng Pu'' ''(Ni Zheng Pu)'', a guzheng teaching manual in 1938, he brought his instruments and conferred with several masters and companies. He graduated from Beijing Jiaotong University, majoring in applied science. He moved to Taiwan in 1949, where he lived for the rest of his life. He worked in the Ministry of Commerce while continuing his musical activities. Liang had much to do with the revival of the ''guzheng'' in the 20th century, helping to establish the instrument as one of the major Chinese traditional solo instruments, as well as a component of the Chinese orchestra. Throughout his life, he preferred the older steel string version of the instrument. For 25 years, he served as the president of the Chinese Classical Music Association, which was organized in Taipei in 1951. In addition to performing on the ''guzheng'', he researched the instrument's history and repertoire, studying the playing of elder ''guzheng'' masters from various parts of China, learning and comparing their styles. He also created new works for the instrument. In 1951, following the release of his first composition, ''Longing for an Old Friend'', he composed more than forty pieces for the ''guzheng''. His book, ''Music of the Cheng'', has been published in six editions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liang Tsai-Ping」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
