I often hear senior pianists say "playing the score", so what is playing the score?

what is a score

"Taipu" is a common saying among qinists, which means to record the melody of a piece of qin music that did not have the rhythm of the banyan originally recorded, and then set the beat to record the melody, so that the piano player can play according to the score. This whole process is called "playing the score". "Playing the score" involves many problems. First of all, you need to know how many scores there are in the track you are playing, and which system the score you want to play now belongs to. Secondly, it is necessary to identify which faction is the typed notation. Once again, it is necessary to examine the difficult ancient fingerings and characters in the interpretation, to identify whether there are errors in the version of the biography, copy and engraving, and if there is, it must be collated. It is also necessary to study the composer's background, creative intention and emotional content to be expressed in this piece. It is also necessary to understand the rhythm method of traditional Chinese music and the use of the ancients in the phrases and so on. The score-setting time is essentially the second creation of the qinist's ancient qin score.
