pianist from the sea

Chapter 28
Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Ruijia, his face full of bewilderment.

Jiang Ruijia soon realized her gaffe, sat down quickly, and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Fu tune.

She seemed to have read some news that Fu Diao came from the Haicheng Conservatory of Music, but she never thought that the Haicheng Conservatory of Music was actually in the same class as her?
Even the jazz performance is actually in the same group as her?

For a moment, she didn't know what she should say now.

Could it be that this is fate?

Fate, amazing.

Turn around and press him hard on the floor and tell him that there is no Chopin in his music!

Fu Tiao also looked at the girl who suddenly got up and slapped the table with a little bit of bewilderment, then sat down again with her head down without saying a word.

She always seemed a little weird.

"Hmm... who are you?" The teacher was the first to react, ignoring Jiang Ruijia's actions just now, turned to look at Fu Tiao, and asked curiously.

"Fu Tiao, the 14th class of steel watch undergraduate." Fu Tiao replied.

He took out his student ID card and class schedule from his pocket, and asked hesitantly, "It's here... right?"

He had just rushed back from Poland when he was directly thrown to Haicheng by his parents, telling him to go to school first.

So he went back to the dormitory, found the schoolbag he had left there for a long time in his memory, and carried it back to Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

But there is a problem.

That is, he asked for leave during the fall semester, and took master classes with several bigwigs from the Central Academy.

During the spring semester, I have been preparing for the competition in Poland.

Therefore, except for the roommates he met in the dormitory when he was reporting, he didn't know any other classmates who were the same age as him.

I don't even know my teacher.

"Fu Tiao? The 14th undergraduate course in steel watches? Is there such a person?"

The teacher on the stage was a little dazed for a while. He never had any information about Fu Tiao in his memory. He couldn't help hesitating and took out the student list from his bag. After searching for a long time, he finally found it and suddenly realized.

"Oh... that's right! I remembered, you are the one who hasn't come for more than half a year? Fu Tiao, right?"

"Well, I've been doing something outside before, so..."

"It's okay, anyway, I got the leave note, as long as there is no problem with the procedure, you go back first... Well, forget it, you come up, don't go down first."

The teacher struggled for a while, and asked Fu Tiao to walk directly to the piano from the door, and spoke to Fu Tiao.

"It just so happens that we talked about swing playing today. All of you were born playing classical music, so you don't know much about jazz playing techniques. Today our course is mainly about jazz playing. You may not have heard it just now, we just had a brief chat about the rhythm of jazz swing."

The teacher raised his hand, put it on the piano, and played casually according to the score in front of him.

"Swing rhythm can be regarded as the simplest performance content in jazz, or it can be regarded as the most basic content in jazz music, which lays the foundation for the entire jazz feeling, which is a completely different rhythm from normal music.

So, what is the sense of rhythm in jazz?Why can people know that jazz is jazz when they hear it, but not jazz when they hear other music?Through the content on the score, we can clearly find that in jazz, they change the time value distribution of the sound, giving a completely different feeling, and our main content of today's lesson is to get familiar with swing performance How to play all the classical scores I gave you in the way of swing rhythm.

Everyone passed the exam and was selected from tens of thousands of candidates across the country, so I won’t tell you the most basic content. Let’s look at the score directly. Notes are converted into eighth note triplets (Note 1), the first note occupies the duration of two notes, and the latter note occupies the remaining duration. Everyone can play triplets. I will not explain more, so Let's come up and try it out. "

After all, he looked at the people off the stage: "Is there a problem?"

"No." Everyone dragged their voices weakly.

"No problem, then come first one by one... Fu Diao, right? You came last, so you come first."

The teacher stepped aside from the stage and nodded to Fu Tiao.

"Don't worry, play whatever you want, the score is given to you, you just follow the marks on the score and change the rhythm into a swing rhythm."

"If you have a good grasp of the swing rhythm, you can try free interpretation, which is to add your own improvisation to the notes with a relatively large space."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't add it. The most important thing we learn today is the simplest swing rhythm."

After finishing speaking, the teacher stretched out his hand to Fu Tiao, Fu Tiao nodded slightly, and sat on the piano bench.

Although he doesn't know why he started playing jazz just after he returned to school, and he doesn't know what swing rhythm is, but he just listened to the teacher's playing feeling, and he probably knows what this so-called swing and swing rhythm are.

Isn't it the simplest dance music?

Fu Tiao turned his head and smiled at the crowd, raised his foot and stomped lightly, at a speed that he felt was relatively comfortable, then lifted his finger and landed on the piano lightly.

dang dang...

The music full of appeal sounded instantly, and an impulse to dance spontaneously emerged from everyone's bodies.

The main reason why swing is called swing music is because, in swing music, you can clearly feel the feeling of dancing.

This feeling is also the most commonly used at those dance parties, and it is the most able to make people want to dance through music.

The teacher nodded silently, picked up the music score in his hand, pointed at Fu Tiao, and said.

"No, we can see this classmate now...Fu Tiao, classmate Fu Tiao's performance, in his performance, you can hear his rhythm very clearly, uh..."

The teacher froze suddenly and couldn't help but tilt his head.

"It seems... nothing wrong?"

He was just going to say that Fu Tiao's rhythm is not right, if Fu Tiao is the one who plays it for the first time.

After all, jazz doesn't just play the music according to the sheet music, but expresses many things in the music.

Many people turn this swing rhythm into a weird dotted rhythm, especially if they are playing it for the first time.

So the teacher decided to find out this problem specifically in the performance of the first person.

The result... not at all!
Fu Diao performed perfectly in this triplet swing rhythm.

And it is not played strictly according to the music theory, but has a very strong jazz feeling.

Fu Tiao didn't know what the teacher wanted him to do, so he just played the notes honestly and meticulously according to the notes on the music score.

The expression that the teacher wanted to say froze in an instant, and he looked at the music score in his hand for a while, feeling a little dazed.

who I am?where am I?What should I do?
Don't I seem to be going to class?

But the students under me... don't seem to be going to class?

"Um... Fu Tiao's performance is very good! Have you studied jazz before?"

"Well, I have learned a little bit." After mediating, Fu made a hand gesture: "Not much, mainly playing by myself."

"Well, then, can you add a little improvisation? Can you improvise?"

"Impromptu?"

After pondering for a moment, Fu Tiao changed the position of his hand slightly, letting the hand gradually go from the original high position to the low position.

It makes the originally extremely simple accompaniment a little more complicated.

At the same time, where the music is relatively idle, a little bit of very simple improvisation is added.

A little simple, blues scale.

His right hand ran quickly on the piano, and the music that was originally pleasant but simple became extremely colorful in an instant.

The teacher's expression changed instantly. He looked at Fu Tiao, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

What the fuck?

Remark 1: Triplets and doublets have the same duration, except that one divides the sound into thirds, and the other divides the sound into two equal parts. At the same time, there are quintuplets, seventuplets, and thirteenths. tone, 27 legato, etc.,
