  16. Shuang He Ting Quan Yin: 雙鶴聽泉吟 Paired Cranes Listen to a Spring
    One section, prelude to #17; earliest of 13 to 1894;
    The second, from 1596 (VI/219), is related and still a prelude but it is very different (2 sections);
    The third (1673) is the first to be called Ting Quan Yin; it is much more like the modern Ting Quan Yin.
    After this Zha Fuxi listed versions dated 1689, 1692, 1722, 1802, 1821, 1878, 1884, 1890, 1894 and 1899.
    The modern version (listen), is transcribed in GQQJ 1/202, where it is said to be from Woyunlou Qinpu (1722), but it leaves out some of the ornaments.
