Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 249 244. Textbook-like top melody, believe it or not
"when------"

The heavy main chord was smashed on the keys with both hands, and a giant howled in pain.

If you like sound effects that contain strong drama, choosing Beethoven will never let you down.
-
Piano Sonata No. 13 in C minor, "Pathetique", Beethoven's Op. [-].

top melodies.

Sorrow has been extolled by the world for its dramatic beauty and sound.

Since the performance skills of this piece are not complicated, there are many opportunities to be played. It is a piece that many piano beginners can't put it down, and it is a belief-like existence of many piano art candidates.

At this time, a total of 31 piano art candidates sat under the stage.

If you do a questionnaire, "Which work are you most looking forward to tonight?" Assuming that you can choose two, most of them will choose Sorrow and Moonlight without accident.

If you can only choose one, there is a high probability that the result will end with Sadness defeating Moonlight.

During the time when she decided to re-examine the repertoire, Ji Yang had clearly expressed to Ang Lee that she wanted to play Sadness. Although she failed, she still did not give up the idea of ​​playing this piece as soon as possible. She decided to start playing Sadness as soon as the art test was over. The premise is that her teacher Li allows it.

The boy without a ticket hoped that he could listen to the sad three performed by the highest honor winners of this year's Xinghai Cup Rongcheng competition area, so there was the scene in front of the poster. His female classmate Yuanyuan took the risk and proposed to take advantage of the chaos halftime.

Because there is a pathetic sonata in the first half.

Sorrow has such a magical power that people who understand it want to get close to it without restraint.

No one can resist the battle hymn written by the musical hero that hits the shackles of fate. This magnificent chapter contains struggle, drama and heroism, fully expressing Beethoven's heroic spirit of daring to fight against fate.

What a powerful work!

Listening to the sometimes majestic and sometimes lamenting piano sound in their ears, the art candidates in the audience looked at the figures on the stage with fascination.

Especially for students who intend to use sorrow as the repertoire of this year's art test, the picture in front of them at this moment is no different from a kind of spiritual food that brings great encouragement to people.

Under Teacher Li's textbook-like demonstration, they seemed to understand the content that their teacher emphasized over and over again.

"The introduction must pay attention to the correct rhythm, is it difficult to be accurate?"

The pathetic introduction needs to use sticking force to give firm strength support, to play a kind of counterattack against force majeure, in order to create the atmosphere of the music at the beginning.

And some children always like to fall into this emotion before creating this atmosphere.

Many teachers will use similar metaphors to remind students at this place that the theme of the introduction should play a sense of ringing the bell against fate.

Fight against fate, put your emotions into it.

Therefore, the fingers that dominate the rhythm are driven by consciousness, and the rhythm under the fingers is slack.

With precise rhythms, Ang Lee reminds them that music is first and foremost a note.

After the note is guaranteed to reach the chart standard, it is processed.

As for the introduction of the first movement of pathos, it does not require too much power, and playing the harmony level is the ultimate essence of rendering this section.

The harmony progression that follows is exquisite.

The top progression and the bottom progression form a mirror counterpoint.

Like two different attitudes towards fate.

One kind of attitude is the right hand moving upwards, struggling upwards but unable to break the footsteps bound by fate, but it has to stop when it reaches the E flat, and finally has to fall back to the D sound.

Another attitude is the left hand moving downward, as if unwilling to be pulled downward by fate. When Beethoven reached the lowest note C here, he turned back and added an augmented fourth note. From the perspective of interval relationship, this It's still a struggle.

It is because of this struggling augmented fourth that the dark diminished seventh chord appears in the harmony progression, which also enhances the sense of oppression of the music.

The two directions are opposite, but the appeal is the same attitude. With just a few notes, a high-density fusion is completed in Beethoven's pen.

The pathos of the introduction theme has been deeply buried so far.

But not only that, before this pen is buried, there is also an alto part that is easily overlooked by students and even teachers.

A repeated sound throughout the bar.

At this moment, this repetitive sound is playing its role extremely smoothly under Li An's finger, with a balance going up and down.

Then the mood of the music is sent to the next bar, which is more intense.

"when--!"

The oppression of fate came again, and it came more violently. The struggle of the piano sound was almost visible, which made people tremble.

"when----!!"

When the third oppression came, the piano's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out at this moment.

A solid and gorgeous descending sound train returns to the starting point with gentle strength.

With the bright and gentle E-flat major unfolding, the atmosphere at the scene was finally relieved for a moment after twists and turns.

Playing back the introduction passage, we can analyze how Ang Lee perfectly expresses his emotions through playing methods.

The first is the unshakable and steady rhythm, which he always regards as the cornerstone part of the passage.

Secondly, for the down key of the chord part, it is full and powerful, concentrated in weight, and the speed of switching pedals between chords. Careful art candidates must have noticed that Li An stepped down the pedal in advance at the moment before each chord fell. Before a chord arrives, it must be released in advance.

Repeatedly, so in the whole introductory passage, his chord playing effect is very clear, and the expressive power of strong and then weak has achieved full marks.

The last thing is to take a super long legato that is enough for a 32nd note group. To be smooth and coherent, the timbre must not be sharp. He adopted half fingertips and half finger pads, which not only ensured the granularity of the timbre Sensation, but also to ensure that the timbre is round and full.

At the end of the whole connection line, he made a finishing touch.

Here again there is something worth emphasizing.

Composers in the classical period had to have a slightly gradual slowdown at the end of the long lines.

And gradually slowing down does not mean weakening, the strength must not be lost, just play the last few notes with the same strength.

From the perspective of music emotion, it symbolizes a kind of break-away, which needs to maintain a strength from the inside out.

Even if it gradually slows down, the firm attitude cannot be changed.

Once it is weakened, the whole introduction will completely collapse.

This is why Ang Lee chose Moonlight [-] instead of Sadness [-] for Ji Yang
Just an introduction, there are these rules and regulations that need to be paid attention to.

At that time, Ji Yang couldn't do it, even if he tried to do it, he couldn't do it well.

To say that what Ang Lee did this time just now is considered brilliant.

Calculate.

Whatever it might be, apart from mobilizing the mood of the audience to go with him, there seemed to be nothing else.

If the audience insists on how good it sounds, it is really reluctant.

Sonata form, you have to have a certain understanding of its structural characteristics before you can look forward to the next content through the current marching part in your ear.

Fortunately, after the main part is over, in the performance of the presentation part, because of the large number of octave tremolo in the left hand, the whole passage has a certain degree of appreciation.

It is similar to the scene of the performer playing the piano that the audience sees on TV.

Ang Lee's left arm went up and down, shaking back and forth quickly from time to time, and every time he made a big move, his handsome face would show a kind of nervous dignity, supplemented by Beethoven's tone, which also gave the audience a great audio-visual experience.

When the music progressed to the development part that most of the audience didn't know, Ang Lee began to plan his playing strength more reasonably.

Concentrate the strength on the fingertips, and use the smallest strength to ensure that every jump and strength can be contrasted and highlighted.

When it came to the reproduction department, Ang Lee almost reached a strict level of control over the strength of his fingers.

Even Xu Li could hear it, and the feeling of the piano was a little thinner than before, but she could also feel that something was brewing when the music came here.

Not just Xu Li, as the music continued to move forward, more and more audiences once again felt a depressive emotion in their hearts.

This foreshadowing was buried by Beethoven as early as the introduction in the first section.

At the moment when the foreshadowing was pulled out, the audience realized that they had been placed in a huge steamer and could not breathe.

The piano melody in my ears finally went to the end in a step-by-step rhythm and movement cleanly and neatly!
I saw the player in front of the piano flying up and down!
"when!!"

"when!!"

"when!!"

"when!!"

Four consecutive imposing chords were struck in one go, like four huge footprints falling heavily on everyone's hearts.

The giant in Beethoven's fantasy mentioned in the guide seems to have finally appeared at this moment.

"when!!!"

The last set of chords, the last shout.

The strength of Ang Lee's entire upper body was thrown alone at this moment, causing the piano bench under him to move backward about five centimeters due to the reverse force.

"hiss!"

It was supposed to enter a quiet moment here, when a sharp horn with the legs of the piano rubbing against the floor rapidly, echoed and then the lingering sound of the piano spread to the audience.

Those who pursue perfection too much will definitely feel deep regret because of a little accident on the stage, which leads to the lack of a corner of a perfect movement.

But for all the art candidates in the audience, they only remembered the human appearance of the first movement of pathos, right in front of their eyes.

The boy without a ticket can only be satisfied at the moment, and even under the washing of the rhythm, he thinks that he can take the best condition to the examination room the day after tomorrow.

Played his pathetic first movement.

Thank you staff brother.

Thank you Mr. Li.

The shy boy didn't know where the courage came from, so he raised his hand and applauded gently.

He knew there was a gap between the first movement and the second movement.

But he didn't know why he felt an indescribable emotion when he watched Mr. Li wiping his sweat with a white towel.

A weak applause sounded from the back row of the auditorium.

Then join together.

Lin Youyou, Wei Sanwan, Ma Ke's father, Chi Yu, Li Yuan, Chairman of Rongcheng Music Association, Tao Zi, Huang Juan, Tian Yu.
Including Fu Tianming at the backstage entrance and Wen Xiao in the tuning room.

Those who understood and those who did not understand clapped their hands.

Or at this moment, no one understands.

This is by no means comforting applause.

Probably only a handful of people were outraged.

What a broken bench!
Wang Xiaohu didn't know that Che Lin beside him thought the same way.

45 minutes into the first half of the concert, Ang Lee wiped his sweat for the first time, taking advantage of this gap.

He rubbed and laughed.

Still lack of experience, a hundred secrets and one sparse.

In fact, the last chord just now should be able to be played better. He knew that 90.00% of the audience could not hear the nine, and the last chord should have been thicker.

The moment his fingers touched the keys, he felt that the stool had a tendency to move backwards, and then his upper body moved back a little uncontrollably, resulting in no more force to push his arms deeper.

But still excellent.

After a brief interlude, Ang Lee continued to play the second movement when the scene became quiet.

Slowly raise your wrist.

The second movement is a cantabile adagio.

Beethoven said: A person can make the piano sing, as long as he has this feeling.

down key.

A golden note floated slowly from above the piano, it floated so slowly and carefully.

Like a child lying in a stroller slowly opened his eyes, looking at everything curiously.

The subtle and delicate things have never been good for Beethoven, who has the spirit of struggle?
It's just that people haven't really paid attention to him. This short man who wants to strangle his fate also has a gentle side and is also weak and sentimental.

At this moment, the music contrasts strongly with the image of the giant at the end of the first movement.

It also grabbed the most vulnerable part of everyone's heart.

Among the modern urban people who rush around for life every day, who is still intact.

Are you lonely, restless, tired, and confused about the next stop in your life?

How long has it been since you have been quiet for yourself?

Ang Lee believes that in every era, there will always be moments of quietness for Beethoven.

No empty talk, no smirks, no pointless consumption here.

It is like a warm and touching poem, without any sorrow or despair
Ang Lee played calmly.

At this moment, he was also looking for a few minutes of peace for himself.

today.

People need to learn to heal themselves, and Beethoven's Adagio is the best medicine.

When the time passed the last 2 minutes in the sincere music, Ang Lee almost woke up from it.

He needs to wake up, needs to get back to his concerts, back to his running.

And in a corner he didn't know, a middle-aged man wearing a tie had tears in his eyes.

The middle-aged man let the tears run down his face, and looked down at the program guide in his hand again.

'Knowing that the journey of life is full of difficulties, I still move forward with determination. '

'Life is not cruel, nor perfect, nor mediocre - pathos'

'Fu Tianming: Do you believe it'

'Ann Lee: I believe'

A bright melody suddenly appeared on the stage, which caught people off guard. Immediately after the end of the second movement, it appeared in a gorgeous posture.

Such as Bach running in the wilderness of the night of the classical world.

The beloved pathetic third movement.

Arrived as scheduled.

Although the second movement Adagio and the fast third movement both use the rondo form.

But the former is lyrical.

The latter is a passionate and slightly playful chase.

'Some people say that Beethoven is also a humorous person, do you believe it? '
