Recording of 杜甫's 春望 reading aloud
This is a recording of my reading of 杜甫's 春望 in William Baxter's reconstruction of Middle Chinese that I used for a presentation last week. I thought I'd post it here in case anyone's interested. Also, please offer corrections if necessary. For one I think my nucleus was too open on 深 and 心.
— is 平; / is 上; \ is 去; p, t, or k is 入.
Also color coded for 平 and 仄.

1. The recording says /tsoj上/. It should be /dzoj上/.
