Abstract

In the study of a musical instrument, intonation is the cornerstone of playing ability and musical expression, and the importance of its training cannot be ignored. As a national bow string instrument with no finger board and taste, erhu is more difficult to control the intonation than other instruments. However, the intonation problem in erhu performance is not only caused by a single factor, not only the subjective factors and training methods of practitioners, but also the reasons for the debugging of the instrument. Therefore, when facing the intonation problem of erhu performance, we need to analyze it dialectically, and try to improve and solve the problem with effective methods as far as possible.
