早期柳琴是用於柳琴戲伴奏的樂器，簡單的由兩根弦、七個品所組成，至1970年王惠然先生成功研製四弦高音柳琴，使柳琴能夠獨奏表演。
《梁紅玉》2005年7月由王惠然先生、王紅藝女士創作之協奏曲，依據宋代抗金英雄梁紅玉的傳奇事蹟當主軸，以中國戲曲－越劇為創作素材，此曲與以往的柳琴作品在演奏技巧、作曲方式有何異同？本研究將透過資料蒐集法、分析法針對樂曲背景、曲式架構進行了解，透過與作曲者的訪談與實際演奏經驗，在音樂演奏詮釋上更深入理解其內涵並精確表達作曲家想法。希望能夠在學術上有新的觀點與貢獻，提供後續研究者使用。並為柳琴音樂未來發展提供一份有用的素材。
In early times, liuqinwasan accompany instrument in liuqin drama,a Chinese folk opera, with simply two strings and seven frets. Until the 1970,Wang Hui-ran successfully developed a four-stringed liuqin, making liuqin a solo instrument.

What are the differences between liuqin pieces before andLiang Hong-yuconcerning performing techniques and composing methods? Clarifying musical background and structure of the piece through data collection and musical analyses, comprehending the core of the piece concerning interpretation and further presenting composers’ thoughts by depth interview with the composers and the actual performing experiences, this paper is expected to bring some new conceptions and contributions for future researchers as well as liuqin music.
