What performance practices encourage improvisation and flexibility in this music?

What will be an ideal response?


• There is "variation during performance—the surface details of the music are not entirely fixed, with room still for spontaneous ornamentation and interplay with other musicians . . ."
• Music notation is used when learning the music, but not in performance; thus increasing flexibility. (But at the same time Jiangnan sizhu music has a core repertory of only eight pieces.)
• "Performance is very much part of a wider social event, not a rendition to a paying audience."
Beiguan
