Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 205 202. Come on, come on, jazz and classical with alternating hands

To play around a certain Czerny etude.

But it can't be played according to the content on the sheet music.

Is it really that difficult that Boss X obviously added extra questions for the four professionals present?

Or, if it is difficult, where is the difficulty?
From a superficial analysis, the difficulty lies in the paradox.

It is necessary to criticize Czerny, but it is impossible to criticize Czerny, and it is Czerny that will be presented in the end.

Although Czerny straddles the two periods of classical and romantic, strictly speaking, his camp still belongs to the composers of Beethoven's era, and the blood of his works is full of classical style.

The four people who are thinking about it all have a background in learning classical piano. What is classical piano?
At the very least, we must respect the scoreboard, that is, we have to play whatever the composer leaves on the scoreboard.

Even playing romantic works or even impressionist works cannot be separated from the chart itself. Once separated, the DNA of the work itself will be changed.

That's why the four of them, including Ang Lee, were a little dumbfounded for the first time.

That's right, Li An is also stupid, do you think he can have fun secretly?

From the perspective of internal analysis, the four people have different thinking angles on the topic and different understandings of Czerny's works, so the internal difficulties are naturally different.

Since Lao Tang was the first person to pat his chest and get up, he naturally wouldn't wait until the second one. He didn't want to keep everyone waiting, so he probably figured out a way to play, and walked towards the piano.

Yuan Xiaoyu took the lead in applauding Lao Tang to cheer him up, and Lao Tang sat down in front of the piano under a kind of applause.

After the surroundings quieted down, he pulled out the score of 740 from a stack of scores.

Turn to item 23, 'Flick the keys with the fingers of the left hand. '

Judging from the sheet music, the score is as its name suggests, and the dense running notes in the left-hand part amaze the people standing behind him.

Holding the music score, Lao Tang once again read this most familiar work from the beginning to the end, and put the score on the music stand.

Holding his breath and concentrating, the next second, Lao Tang raised his hand and dropped his fingers, a group of extremely clear fast running and a group of interfinger intervals sounded at the same time.

The main chord impression of E major instantly sounded in the lobby.

Lao Tang started his problem solving.

Most of the people present have never played this piece, so naturally they don't know what Laotang is playing, but as far as their sense of hearing is concerned, it is Czerny.

Among the people who have played this work, except for professionals, most of the rest only realized what Lao Tang did when the music reached the seventh and eighth bars.

Professionals understood it the moment they hit Lao Tang with his hands down.

"Brother Chong is being lazy."

Zeng Mengqiu, the girl with glasses who had sorted out her playing ideas, was the first to point out with a smile.

Then said: "But if it were me, I couldn't do it."

Wu Fusheng didn't answer, and Yuan Xiaoyu answered, "It's a good idea."

What creativity? The casual players near the bar couldn't help guessing when they heard this. Isn't this the original appearance of Czerny's etude?

As the music gradually accelerated, the high-spirited and bright right-hand melody seemed to be coated with a layer of light gold under the light.

The croupier Yuan Xiaoyu turned into an explanation again, but in order to enhance everyone's participation experience, she did not give an explanation directly, but reminded: "The original name of this work is called the light touch of the left finger."

As soon as these words came out, and then listened to the music at the moment, someone understood immediately.

At least those who can come here to participate in the activities are piano lovers. As piano lovers, at least they have listened to a lot of piano works, and they are still clear about the high and low piano ranges.

From the very beginning, the music runs in the high register of the right hand, and the name of this work has become the light touch of the fingers of the left hand.

According to the conventional analysis of Czerny's etudes, each etude written by Uncle Che will give a clear title for the specific training direction.

The brisk touch of the fingers of the left hand must be to practice the fast running of the left hand bass zone.

And the buddy in front of the piano has been running with his right hand in high notes.

"He switched his left and right hands!"

The old businessman figured it out. After he said this, everyone understood.

Amazing! !

Looking at the left-hand part on the score and playing the right hand, and watching the right-hand part playing the left hand, this is quite difficult. They just think about it and find it very difficult.

And it's still the fast-playing dense passage in the ear at this moment.

Go deeper into the analysis.

Perhaps for beginners, this operation is relatively easy, because they do not have a deep-rooted playing habit.

For these piano learners who have been sitting on the piano for even 20 years, it can be said that it is like a mountain of obstacles.

It is not difficult to understand that they look at the two lines of music side by side, playing the upper part with their right hand and the lower part with their left hand, which is already a natural thing like breathing.

Do you feel uncomfortable if you are suddenly asked to breathe only through your mouth or through your nose?
It can be heard that Lao Tang is not uncomfortable, and he is almost extremely skilled.

Li An was so proficient that he wondered if Lao Tang had specially practiced this way below.

But it doesn't matter. From the perspective of a piano teacher, Ang Lee found an unusual inspiration through Lao Tang's performance.

Like Zeng Mengqiu and the others, Lao Tang knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he dropped his finger.

Listening to him, he couldn't help thinking of another problem from the clear right-hand melody in his ear--his own transposition 299 practice.

Through the entire 299 transposition practice, his ten fingers have obviously improved in black key touch, alternate fingering use and independence.

Then, if the left and right hand voices in the Czerny etude are exchanged and then practiced, will it produce the same improvement effect?

Take the 740 song 23 that Lao Tang is playing at the moment as an example. The training is for the running of the left hand. If the parts are exchanged, the training for the left hand becomes the training for the right hand.

接着这个想法继续深入思考下去，纵观整本740的特点，李安同时还想到第11条、13条、16条、29条、41条等等。

Because he didn't practice all the 740, these are the only songs he could think of at the moment.

The common feature of these tracks is that the movement distance or duration of movement of each group of sound patterns is relatively short, and the movement speed of fingers is very fast.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay great attention to the action of touching the keys and the state of light and loose arms for effective cooperation.

Imagine swapping each of the left and right hand parts of these songs, and the exercises for the three, four, and five fingers of the left hand are transformed into exercises for the one, two, and three fingers of the right hand.

Maybe you can try it, but after Er Laotang's performance ended, Li An applauded along with everyone.

Although Lao Tang only exchanged parts, he did not play according to the content of the original score. As the first of the four people to appear on the stage, Lao Tang came up with such a problem-solving idea in less than 30 seconds, which is also very powerful and presents an excellent degree of finish.

Lao Tang returned to the bar amid enthusiastic applause, Boss X opened a bottle of wine for him, "That's a good idea."

Moderate reviews.

Lao Tang understood that he had indeed played tricks, but he didn't have much time to think about it just now.

Thanks Boss X, he took the bottle and went back to the small table for four, and said with a smile: "Yes, next one—"

Wu Fusheng looked at Li An first, Li An smiled and was about to stand up, at this time Zeng Mengqiu stood up first,

"I'll come, I'll come." He said and took off his coat.

For a moment, the eyes of the scene focused on the little girl wearing glasses.
-
When Czerny meets the Jazz, what kind of chemical reaction will there be?
The talented woman from Jinyuan gave you a reference answer.

The glasses girl sat in front of the piano without opening any of Czerny's music scores. When she raised her hand, there were two consecutive measures of left-hand main chord syncopation.

With the right hand melody of the melody under the bossa rhythm, Czerny in the Red Book seemed to turn blue at this moment.

The beat is clear and swinging. After a weak beat with the left hand, a strong beat is immediately followed up with the right hand. The original eighth note progression gives people a different kind of freshness under the effect of ornamentation.

There is no visual effect of flying fingers in the clip of the pianist fighting the piano on the sea, and there is no visual effect of banging the piano.

The picture in front of the piano is very simple, that is, a girl with medium hair wearing black-rimmed glasses wearing a black sweater, shaking her arms from side to side with a smile on her face, and then breaking the classic rhythm with a series of simple melodies with clear rhythms. The regular rhythmic form is played out.

It is unbearable that you keep listening and watching, and there are even people who nod along with the air.

"No. 30 Nine Articles."

Li An, who had been silent for a long time, corrected, Wu Fusheng and Lao Tang discussed for a long time but they didn't get it right, and Yuan Xiaoyu finally told them that it was Article 38.

He thought that Yuan Xiaoyu had misremembered, but for the other two, it was understandable that he couldn't tell.

The corrected Yuan Xiaoyu cast doubtful eyes on Li An, "Did I remember wrong?"

To be honest, if Li An didn't say this, she would have refuted it, because the other party has another identity, a piano teacher.

"It's Article 39."

At this moment, Boss X's voice came.

Article 599 of Czerny 39 has only 16 bars in total.

Eight subsections and one theme, divided into AB sections.

It was such a small melody that was so simple that most of the audience could play it, and it turned into an exquisite jazz piece under the hands of the glasses girl.

From Ang Lee's point of view, the performance of the glasses girl is more in line with the concept of the title than Lao Tang.

The jazzization of classical works has changed the music texture and music progression to the greatest extent, and changed the color of the music without changing the independent elements in each bar of the music.

It can be said that this Czerny work is restored in another style.

Not Czerny, but Czerny again.

Worthy of being called a talented woman, you can see the whole leopard at a glance.

Taking this work as well, Ang Lee couldn't adapt a jazz sketch with bossanova as a style element in a short period of time.

The performance ended in less than 2 minutes, and the scene once again burst into applause.

The glasses girl got up and bowed back to the wine counter. Boss X handed over a bottle of juice, "The adaptation is good."

"Thank you, Teacher Chen!" The glasses girl took it.

Hearing Mr. Chen's address, Boss X smiled and nodded, "You're welcome."

The glasses girl returned to the small table for four, squinted and smiled, "Brother Sheng, what are you waiting for?"

Wu Fusheng stood up with a "small sample", looked at Li An and said, "I'll go first."

Li An also stood up, looked at the other two with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go to the piano and join in the fun together."

What Wu Fusheng would play, let alone Li An, even Yuan Xiaoyu was very curious.

As a Chinese player who was going to South Korea to participate in the Asian Youth Piano Invitational Competition at the beginning of the year, Yuan Xiaoyu knew that Wu Fusheng also had a place in his hand.

The four of them followed Wu Fusheng to the piano.

A circle of people gave way, and Wu Fusheng sat in front of the piano.

Wu Fusheng opened the 740 casually under the curious eyes of everyone.

Article 41.

And then get ready to play?

This scene already makes people feel a little excited, so casual?
Go back to item 41 again.

Undoubtedly, as an original work, it is a difficult work for ordinary music college students.

I saw Wu Fusheng staring at the score in front of the piano, and raised his hands as he took a breath.

Even though his movements were not small, the moment he dropped his fingers was extremely delicate. The moment he dropped his palms, all the hand rests were fully opened, and the palms fell safely on the keyboard, and then he started running extremely silky fast.

Every sound is as clear as the naked eye, and the sound flow hits the face, as if it can clean every pore under the skin.

Zeng Mengqiu was taken aback, isn't this the rhythm direction of the third movement of the storm?
Yuan Xiaoyu shook his head while secretly admiring, Wu Fusheng is too good at it, directly applying Czerny's theme to Beethoven's sonata.

Ang Lee couldn't help asking how the other party did it. He was very familiar with the storm, and he had also practiced this etude.

Objectively speaking, these two works have nothing in common at all, but because of this, he asked in his heart how the other party did it.

Corresponding to the measures, the other party not only had to add a lot of texture to Czerny's theme to enrich the performance in the fast-moving structure of the storm.

Corresponding to the structure of the sonata, it is more complicated. How to arrange the theme and subtopics, and how to arrange the connection between the parts?
This series of questions was answered by Wu Fusheng with both hands while he was thinking.

41 two-segment forms are used by the other party as the material for the theme and subtitle. The three groups of tones in the right hand of the first measure are used as the basic sound, and the motivation of the third movement of the storm is used as the rhythm. Then they are combined together to form a new development motivation. Finally, Insert this motive as a link between the parts, and connect the whole song in series.

Ang Lee was a little shocked by Wu Fusheng's creativity, or by his familiarity and understanding of the structure of classical style sonatas.

This easy-going ease is by no means ready-made, and can only be heard from some subtle rhythm problems and improper counterpoints that arise.

The other party is improvising.

But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, if the other party has practiced privately according to this arrangement, he believes that what is presented at this moment will be another effect.

It's like a nerve in the brain has been punctured.

Ang Lee asked himself a question, whether he could combine a Czerny etude with a Beethoven sonata movement for a second creation within such a period of time.

The answer is yes.

But he must not play this kind of structural flavor with a strong Bayesian sonata.

After watching the two games, he thought he had a rough judgment on Wu Fusheng's piano level.

But at this moment, he had to admit that the other party's background was casually displayed. "Damn!!"

Another turbulent chord resounded in his ears, and Li An came back to his senses.

In front of the piano, the colorful performance continued.
