Chapter 42 The ensemble of erhu and suona
1241 Words
The moment the tactfulness of the erhu and the high pitch of the suona were combined, Chen Ye suddenly felt that these two instruments were a match made in heaven.
It seems that when the two play together, it is a complete instrument.
This song "Eliminate Sorrow" was originally a popular song for a while before the arrival of blood, but what I didn't expect was that the old erhu man would also play in an ensemble.
Although he understood it himself, adapted it, and added it in the form of harmony......
Not only does it not feel incongruous at all, but it also strengthens all parts of the song, so that the listening experience can be transformed.
For a while, Chen Ye felt that his mind was completely immersed in the performance of Suona.
As the old man's melody gets faster and faster......
Like an auditory hallucination, Chen Ye actually felt that this erhu seemed to have not only one audio track, but multiple audio tracks combined!
He gradually felt that the suona in his hand was becoming difficult and difficult to keep up with the old erhu's progress.
The music became cluttered and difficult to integrate.
I struggled to play the entire song, and the music came to an abrupt end.
At this moment, the old erhu slowly stopped the movements in his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't worry......"
"The reason why musical instruments need to be infused with a large amount of practice is because enough muscle memory must be formed for the sound to be unified and smooth."
"If you want to think and play at the same time, you will be distracted by it, and you will not be able to maintain the coherence of your emotions, which will naturally lead to distraction."
"However, initial thinking is essential, at this stage, you need to think about what music is appropriate, what tunes should be played and how to play them, and what techniques are not skilled enough......"
"When you get through this stage and form enough muscle memory, you can enter a state of 'flow' when playing, so as not to be disturbed by everything."
Chen Ye pondered for a moment, carefully thought about the old man's words, nodded, and said:
"Keep practicing."
The two continued to play together.
When the first half of the song begins, the old erhu will reduce the intervention of his own song, with Chen Ye as the leader.
Just make simple harmonic playing.
When the song enters the climax, the erhu needs to give full play to the advantages of timbre, so that the whole song can bring subversive changes.
Therefore, the old erhu man will not have any reservations at this time.
Whenever the climax is played, the suona in Chen Ye's hand seems to be filled with lead, and the originally familiar syllables become difficult to play, as if it is difficult to play with the music.
He took a deep breath and tried his best not to let the old man's music affect his emotions, but focused more on the emotional expression of the performance.
For the audience, emotional stimulation is the most important, which requires the interpreter to push it out with skillful skills.
However, for Chen Ye, he must first find his emotions before he can express them well.
This is why imitators can often do similar things in creation, but they still can't become good creators.
True creation requires personalized expression, which requires finding oneself rather than deliberately imitating or blindly following the rhythm of others.
Chen Ye gradually tried to detach from the technique of singing, so as to find his inner self.
Suddenly, he felt the suona in his hand loosen, and the song became more tactful.
He was secretly surprised in his heart, obviously he didn't expect that this ugly suona could be blown out by himself with such a tactful tone?
After mastering this technique......
Chen Ye suddenly realized how Suona should be played correctly.
Gradually, slowly, I was able to keep up with the old erhu in the climax, and the melody of the whole song was transformed because of Suona, so it really became beautiful.
Even Chen Ye, who is also a performer, is deeply touched by the melody.
At this time, his mind was empty, as if he had forgotten all his playing skills.
I just played the suona with the "flow", but the timbre that came out became completely different, tactful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there was no mistake in the technical performance.
On the contrary, when Chen Ye had been struggling with the correctness of his skills before, he was prone to various small flaws, and he always felt that there were some imperfections.
Although the current technique has not yet reached the level of perfection, with the push of "flow", some imperfect places are embellished with small tricks to ensure that there are no mistakes in the entire rhythm and direction.
It has achieved the effect of not hiding flaws.
This makes a piece of music more enjoyable.
Finally.
As the performance comes to an end, the music concludes with a distant and low artistic conception.
The old man Erhu raised his head and looked at Chen Ye with a smile and said:
"Hehe, boy, today's gain should be not small, right?"
Chen Ye gradually withdrew from the emotions brought by the music and returned to reality, calmed down again, sorted out some thoughts in his mind, and then organized the language:
"Yes, I seem to understand how to play as a musician."
"People are human after all, it is impossible to achieve perfection, and it is impossible for every note to be as accurate as a machine."
"Technique is not a formula, it is just an expression of the player."
"But the expressor needs what he really wants to express in order to get real skills and make this 'expression' close to perfection."
"If you play just for the sake of technique, you will be getting farther and farther away from the essence of expression......"
When Chen Ye finished saying this, suddenly, the feeling of "digestion" came out again.
However, the digestion progress this time is significantly higher than the previous one.
At this moment, Chen Yeming realized where the place he had never been able to break through before was.
After he had a preliminary understanding of music, he was too concerned about whether the technique was correct, whether the note was correct, and whether the rhythm was stuck in the beat......
However, the more you think, the more cumbersome the content you want to "express" becomes more and more cumbersome.
In the end, it will be difficult to grasp anything, and during the performance, the mentality will fluctuate due to technical mistakes, which will make you too nervous.
Just imagine......
When an expressor is too nervous, what he expresses, in this case, is also a manifestation of "imbalance".
Even if the accuracy of the distance "technique" is high, the ups and downs caused by this "imbalance" can be uncomfortable in terms of hearing.
On the contrary, it is a state of complete relaxation, without too strict constraints brought by technique, allowing the melody and rhythm to return to freedom.
The effect of the performance has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Open the blood-colored phone again......
The weird value has reached five thousand nine hundred points!
