[Harp-L] Jian Harp Video - could not find him

Dear Umut,

Sorry for late reply, gladyou want to have a 16-hole 4 octave harmonica, a good choice, I mostly play16-holes, you will never worry missing some low notes.

I have look at the scoreof the Benjamin Britten Nocturnal recently, it is so beautiful, the 16-holechromatic harmonica able to play the Nocturnal, the lowest note on guitar scoreis E, the 16-hole harmonica lowest note on score is C, so, the 16-holeharmonica cover all the scale of score on guitar, but some chords anddouble-stops needs to make change to fit on harmonica.

Regarding the music by Pablode Sarasate, I have been playing music by Sarasate, my books include below 3songs:

Romanza Andaluza

Carmen Fantasy

Zigeunerweisen - GypsyAirs

I suggest you start toplay classical music, J. S. Bach has so many great pieces, such as: Minuet in GMajor, Bist Du Bei Mir, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Arioso, Air on the Gstring… later, you may practice Violin Concerto No.1, Flute Sonata, Double ViolinsConcerto…

You may practice moresongs to instead play one song with long time, we could not master only onesong even you play is much Years.

Above just for youreference.

Best regard,

 Dear Jiayi,
I found Easttop 16 hole chromatic harmonicas sold for 45 dollars. I think in the next 2 months , it will reach me from China.
Do you think I can play Benjamin Britten Nocturnal ?
You played very dynamic spanish composition for classical guitar with chromatic harmonica very fast, lively and agile. Is it Sarasate ? Which one of your books cover this music ?
Do you suggest start to study with a classical music repertoire music at the beginning ? It seems to me its very annoying to play yesterday or let it be at the start. My friends stucked in to yesterday for 35 years and never stepped forward.
Thank you for your time and best wishes to you.UmutIstanbul
