These specific words are not obviously for "playing music". They are for
manipulating various kinds of musical instruments. I can imagine somebody
saying {yu yIHeng}, but only in the context of training a student in the
proper fingering for a particular instrument. {pang} and {yach} (and
{rey}) don't strike me as being appropriate for a specific note. Though I
would almost certainly understand the intent behind their being used that
way, I'd have difficulty trying to figure out the actual meaning of the
phrase.
As I said in my first response on the subject, I suspect that {much} is the
right word for playing a song, or a musical phrase, or even a single note.
