Zha Fuxi (Chinese: 查阜西; 1895–1976) on qin (and unidentified flute player on reel 3) recorded circa 1945. 

Zha Fuxi (Chinese: 查阜西; 1895–1976), also known as Zha Yiping (查夷平) was a leading player and scholar of the guqin. Born in Jiangxi, he started learning guqin in his childhood. In 1936, he co-founded the Jinyu Qin Society (今虞琴社) which later became one of the major national musical organizations for the guqin. In addition, he was a vice-chairman of the National Musical Association of China, president of the Beijing Guqin Society, and a department head at the Central Institute of (Folk) Music. In 1945, he came to the United States and made a few recordings of his music at the Library of Congress, including those heard here. 

Apart from his profession on guqin, he worked for the civil aviation company and was active in the labour movement. After the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, he was a vice-chairman of the National Musical Association, president of the Beijing Guqin Society, and a department head at the Central Institute of (Folk) Music.

Few recordings of his qin performance have been published, though more remain in private and institutional circulation. His playing style was unaffected but serious and elegant; he specialized in qin songs (accompanying himself vocally) and contributed several noteworthy dapu reconstructions, as well as earning the nickname "Zha Xiaoxiang" for his mastery of the piece Xiao Xiang Shui Yun.

"Well -Tempered Improvisation"  is  a setting of Michael Hafftka's photo of his portrait of Johnny Reinhard. It is a duet of two improvisations in Vallotti and Young well-temperament for electronic harpsichord and electronic vibs. I did not edit or tweak my two improvisations. The vib improvisation used an arpeggiator.
