Yang Jishengyang Jisheng

Tai Chi is a short way of saying Tai Chi Ch'uan. It means supreme ultimate fist or supreme ultimate boxing. Tai Chi is a great health art, also a great martial art. The two can never be separated. You cannot separate the Yin from the Yang. If you try to do Tai Chi just as an exercise or health dance then you lose a great deal of the health benefits. Doing Tai Chi as self-defence only, you lose some of the self-defence benefits for not adding the healing parts of Tai Chi.

The Beijing-born guitarist Xuefei Yang has recorded her first album of baroque music, an all-Bach programme anchored by three concertos newly arranged for guitar and string quartet. Bach Concertos is an exciting, innovative album in which she has transcribed for the guitar some of Bach’s familiar violin concertos and other works, hoping to establish these new arrangements as noteworthy repertoire for the guitar and to expand the concerto repertoire for that instrument. Xuefei complements the concertante repertoire with solo guitar arrangements of the Violin Sonata No. 1 BWV 1001, the Prelude in C Major from the Well-Tempered Clavier BWV 846 and the Air on a G string from the Orchestral Suite in D major BWV 1068.

Although Mozart is known primarily as a pianist, he was a violinist at the court of Salzburg until he walked out in 1781 to carry out an independent career in Vienna. These sonatas belong to two sets of six, one published in Paris in 1778, when Mozart first sought to leave Salzburg, the other in Vienna in 1781, right after he resigned. These pieces were meant to serve as a calling card, but Mozart went well beyond this sole intention.
