The sound quality of this cassette is atrocious! I guess the recordings were originally on a LP record and it sounds like it was probably transferred off the speakers of a record player with a low quality mic. Apart from the titles, there is no other information on the cassette.
Track A4. lǎo bā bǎn 老八板 (old eight beats) is a recording of the piece from which many pieces of the Jiangnan sizhu repertory are derived. I haven't heard any other recordings of it, although it is sometimes included in the last section of Xing Jie (procession).
A5. sī xián cāo 思贤操 seems to be a guqin piece of the Zhejiang school. On the recording here it's played by a xiao and the guqin. I'm not sure how the title should be translated. A search on the web came up with "Missing a Virtuous Person" and "Thinking of Yan Hui". The three characters themselves is literally something like "thinking and virtuous exercise/melody".
B3. màn sān liù 慢三六 (2 erhu solo, slow three six) (as màn liù bǎn 慢六板 slow six beats on the cassette) sounds the same as a recording by Shěn Fèngquán 沈凤泉 & Shěn Duōmǐ 沈多米 on the CD "A Collection of Music Played on the Erhu Vol 10" (1992,China Record), see http://huqinblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/artist-va-album-collection-of-music.html
