384. Align the direction and try harder! The daily life between divisions
"It's probably the opposite way of 'strength'."
After shouting hard for a whole morning, Qin Jian felt that he might have been wrong.
...
Aso Natsuki is good at playing works from the Romantic period, which can be seen from her works participating in the Mozart Competition.
For example, Chopin's etudes and Ravel's suites, these works actually have one common feature, and they are all very consistent with the performance of natural hand shapes.
The natural hand shape here does not mean the posture of a player placing his hands on the piano at will, but refers to the more scientific and reasonable hand shape habits developed from childhood, "like Chopin's hand position."
You can clearly see from close observation that, whether in terms of sitting posture or gestures, Aso Natsuki's performance is quite standardized. In the words of Shen Qingci - this is a good piano literacy.
On the other hand, many domestic music students and even piano students from higher art institutions do not fully possess such qualities, even if they can take the winter wind to participate in international children's competitions before entering the affiliated high school.
As two outstanding people of the same age from different places, Duan Ran's strength is obviously stronger than Aso Natsuki.
Especially the accent chords that suddenly appear in the fast segment, this can be said to be another specialty for Duan Ran to move his fingers quickly.
During his time in Salzburg, Qin Jian often discussed some issues in piano teaching with Duan Ran. In Duan Ran's description, Shen Qingci paid special attention to hand posture in his teaching, especially in the relationship between touching keys and arm strength.
"Only after skillfully using the strength of the wrist, we can feel the strength of the arm."
Qin Jian, who said the same thing, also heard Shen Qingci's piano class.
Rational analysis Shen Qingci is obviously not just emphasizing force, what he expresses is a feeling.
And there are relevant records in Chris' Intermediate Piano Guide - it is very necessary to reasonably add the weight of large joints to the ranks of sound-making on the force trajectory - when you need a beautiful strong sound.
The big joint naturally refers to the arm, and the force trajectory mentioned here is naturally the movement process of the muscles of the whole body from the preparation of the key to the bounce.
...
"Yes, Teacher Tsujii used to ask me this way. He also had very high requirements for touching keys. He needed every note of me to be clear and exquisite."
"fine?"
Qin Jian couldn't help but slow down his chewing speed, "clear" he understood.
"How do you say this exquisite?"
At noon, at a corner of the meal, the two of them were still discussing the issue of arms and strength at the dinner table.
Aso Natsuki thought for a moment, and embarrassedly gestured on her chest with chopsticks: "Well—it's probably a subtle sound effect, I can't say it (laugh)."
Qin Jian nodded to express his understanding. Although he had never heard Shinoyuki Tsujii's performance, he could also see something from Natsuki's performance.
For example, at the end of the sound, she would always turn her wrist slightly off.
Thinking of this, Qin Jian sighed. I think Xia Shu has already been able to control his wrists, but he has not yet found a reasonable way of expressing strength in Rah's works.
Especially in the beginning of the second pull, the ten-degree chord performance of eight bars continuously and sharply sharply is definitely not as easy as it sounds on CD.
Recalling the force that had been exerting for a whole morning, Qin Jian felt that he might have been wrong.
"It's probably the opposite way of 'strength'."
Thinking to himself, Qin Jian sighed. He asked me for help from senior brothers, but he almost pointed me on the wrong way.
In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, on the way back to Qinfang, Qin Jian bought two bottles of Wangzai milk for Xia Shu when he passed by the supermarket.
"Ah? Thank you~"
"Don't be polite, drink it."
"Hi!"
Aso Natsuki really didn't understand the meaning of being polite, so she opened the can with a "click" sound.
Just outside in the winter, she took a sip of white mist.
"Don't!"
...
Taking two bottles of cold cans back to the piano room, Qin Jian thought about what ideas should be changed so that Xia Shu could understand the feeling of force he was trying to express.
Aso Natsuki followed him honestly, and as soon as he entered the door, he sat back to the piano and waited.
a long time.
"Um------"
Qin Jian let out a long time and put two cans on the heating.
"Come again."
"This time I tried to relax and use the power of my body to lean forward to push my arms to complete the keys."
Two seconds later.
"when!"
Not to mention this relaxation, it really works.
This sound was a little bit away from the accent quality that Ravel needed, and was a little closer to the accent requirements of Ravel.
"Come again."
...
Another hour later.
Whether it is the blocky chords in the etude or the two-pull introduction, the power of the Xia Shu playing is much richer.
Although she is still far from Qin Jian’s feelings, I believe that through her next exercises and Shen Qingci’s correction, she will soon be able to have a new look in a future period.
At 3:30 pm, a phone call interrupted the academic discussion between the brothers.
"My West."
Xia Shu answered the phone happily.
But she didn't feel so happy after hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Qin Jian seemed to have heard some things. "You might as well talk about it."
“That’s it…”
After Xia Shu’s not too complicated description, Qin Jian understood it.
It was the Double Dancing Gala that the Piano Department planned to create a piano octet program. The piano department's planners wanted Natsuki to participate and be responsible for the performance of a part. However, she had refused this before, but today she called again.
In this regard, Qin Jian could probably get the point that the other party refused. "If time allows, you can try to make your life richer. Many times, everyone gets familiar with each other as they come into contact. Don't you get to know the people in the club?"
“It makes sense.”
“I will think about it seriously.”
Xia Shu nodded solemnly and smiled, then she looked at the time on her phone, "I have to leave, it's time for class soon."
"Oh, then you go quickly."
As the two said, Aso Natsuki packed up. Before leaving, they did not forget to drink the bottle of open Wangzai milk and put the bottle of unopened into their bag.
"Thank you for your advice today!"
Finally, he bowed obediently to Qin Jian, "By bye, senior brother, see you tomorrow."
"By bye, be careful on the way."
After Aso Natsuki left, Qin Jian continued to think about the issues he discussed with the other party today. The other party's doubts seemed to have been resolved, but in some places he had some doubts.
For example, the style of works of the French and Russian schools.
Putting Xia Shu’s problem today under the historical microscope, the root cause can be traced back to the conflict between the two schools.
After searching in the simple knowledge system for a while, Qin Jian felt that his noun was almost hollowed out.
After he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.
Leave the questions to the teacher.
"Practice the piano."
...
After the end of La 2, the white Steinway room once again heard the horn of La 3.
This is why only Qin Jian and Xia Shu can represent the piano department of the freshman year to attend the Rah work seminar more than half a month later in the entire school.
Don't brag.
Chapter completed!
