Ambush from Ten Sides

Ambush from Ten Sides

Ambush from Ten Sides is a classical piece written for the Pipa. "Ambush" is written in the "Wu" or martial style, and is about the glorious victory of Liu Bang of Xiang Yu in 202 BC. This is the same subject matter as "The King Doffs his Armor", but is written from a completely different perspective.

Status

Ambush from Ten Sides is considered a master piece, much in the same way that Flight of the Bumblebee is in western society. The difficult of the piece insures that it can be played almost exclusively by virtuosos.
