Regarding track 10

The first song is a chinese song called 战马奔腾, something like racing horses, and is played on the èrhú (chinese violin-type instrument). http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=erhu+horses&search=Search
Here is an example of one of the best living pianists Láng Lǎng playing the song with his father.
