Summary

Description
English: In applied musicology, different instruments usually communicate and learn the techniques and skills from each other. From the imitations of each others' pathways in touching keyboard or strings, new developments would be invented sustainably.

In this piece, after the internal discussions on the platform of Future Learn (one famous platform for educational equality from UK to globalization organized by Open University and joined by a great amount of word-class universities - website: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/musical-scores/2/steps/62507#fl-comments ), we found a piece of traditional fork music - Green Sleeves - a piece of fork music in UK - has been popularized for more than 400 years. It borrowed the skills and techniques originally from lute.

After getting the exchanging theory among musical instruments in the discussion, I decided to make a practise of this piano version in China. I found: a traditional Chinese instrument - Guzheng (Chinese zither: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guzheng) had represented the Chinese thinking pattern and applied it into musical innovation. When playing it, regularly, your fingers need to take the turn frequently by pizzicato-bowing the same location of the string, then shifting it alongside the texture in a range. 

In traditional China's culture, we emphasised a root: in order to thread different musical peals - notation together, your fingers need to deliver '气'- one kind of mixed 'channel' without particular shape integrating physical force, spiritual motivation and musical imagination into their movements flexibly and smart. About 气功 (Qigong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong), we can review some introductions about its applications in multiple-situations of traditional Chinese's life.

After this transformation, the surface of this melody almost has the intervals and been making the pizzicato all the time, however, the internal 'brighten' core is logically threaded together tightly and beautifully. Then, the pathway of Green Sleeves made out a special version representing the communications both between different instruments and between different cultures, By making the self-reflexivity, I think: the similarities between Lute and Guzheng gave me the possibilities to fulfil this modifications online, though more skilful training would make it more beautiful.

I am hoping more and more musical friends would like to research this kind of learning, imitating, borrowing and communicating among different instruments and about the skills and techniques. If so, I think more fantastic pieces of music will come to our earth.
