碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 中國音樂學系碩士班 === 102 === Recently, more and more virtuoso Er-hu pieces were composed, these works requires fast and variable techniques. In order to play these works, players need etudes to improve their skills. However, there are still lacks a well-organized Er-hu fast skill training system for players to gain these techniques. Hence, this thesis aims to study the available Er-hu etudes systemically to establish an Er-hu training method for players to evaluate their skills to perform those virtuoso pieces. Sixty Etudes for the Left Hand composed by Professor Han-yang Chao increase its difficulty by the numbers. Etudes No.1-20 enhance playing technique step by step through left hand fingering sequence, alternative fingering sequence, position switch, and different distance between fingers. These etudes improve finger muscle endurance by repeating fingering sequence, and evolving fingering sequence logically, on the other hand, train finger sensibility by different fingering sequence properties from each etude.Hence, this thesis will focus on the fingering sequence in the etudes No.1-20 from Sixty Etudes for the Left Hand. I will analysis the different fingering sequence combination, the rules on how it evolves in each etudes, then sum the training guide from each etude for players to use these etudes more easily.
