272. "Mozart doesn't need to be sad"
Oooo———oo
After all the instruments were silenced, the piano sounded.
A leaning tone.
A crisp leaning sound, with his falling fingers hovering out, the sound seemed to have a substance, jumped up, and the warm light of the stage was full of its figure.
Everyone had to watch.
...
Counting this time, about playing the first note of the K491 piano part.
Qin Jian has already experienced two international stages.
In Tokyo, he thinks about how to express himself.
He wants to break through a kind of imprisoned thinking to interpret the feeling in his heart.
Unfortunately, he almost let Xia Dong lose control of the orchestra in the final music clip.
It's not that the two didn't communicate beforehand, it's that he didn't understand what the layer of confinement he was trying to break through was in the first place.
Qin Jian chose to participate in the competition of Mozart's group because of the appearance of Amadeus's last wish, which is a bit of fate.
K491 was chosen as the repertoire because he was infected by this music full of Beethovenian resistance.
Beethoven's creation begins with a reflection on the essence of music and thoughts and feelings, from abstract to concrete, from structure to connotation, full of countless symbolic meanings.
For Beethoven's interpretation, Qin Jian can only feel so much for the time being.
This stems more from the call in his heart before the end of the third movement of Pathos in the third round of the Varsity.
In Mozart's music, people only seem to see a charming personality, extreme elegance, and his music has a natural beauty and a keen intuition about the effect of music.
Perhaps, as the world says, he is not profound, and he is not serious in life.
But as Amadeus's last wish gradually unfolded, the other side of Mozart was gradually perceived by Qin Jian.
He is like Raphael's paintings, with elegant compositions, smooth lines, and soft expressions, always with a heavenly luster and shadow, exuding the vibrant and shining colors of his moves, and most of them reflect optimism.
Even though sorrow is inevitable, he still releases goodness and beauty in his creations.
In the early hours of a sleepless morning, when Qin Jian once again turned off Amadeus's last wish, opened K491, and reread this work of Mozart in his later years, his mind was no longer filled with pain and unwillingness, nor was there the injustice of fate to genius.
At that moment, he seemed to see the ecstasy that Mozart felt when he learned that Figaro's wedding would be back on stage, even if it was only for nine performances.
It was as if he saw Mozart obsessed with Haydn's orchestration and devote himself to the creation of string quartets, even though he had few friends around him at that time.
It was as if he had seen Mozart hangover in a cluttered tavern, waking up with a bottle in one hand and a quill in the other, while the parchment in front of him was full of crooked notes at some point, and his creation would not stop.
It was as if he saw Mozart chanting "Equality and freedom!" and joined the Freemasons, as elated as if he had walked into the palace for the first time.
Qin Jian didn't know what the story would look like in the future.
But at least in that moment, he seemed to know the time to express himself.
"Mozart doesn't need to grieve. ”
.....
.....
"W-w-"
Another crisp leaning sound.
This time, every pair of ears heard clearly
The gloomy tone set by the continuous vibrato of the strings is once again disintegrated by the hands on the piano.
It's a singular feeling that's hard to describe.
Many of the judges even wished that time had stopped at this moment, and that they needed a moment to find out.
However, the music is forward-looking.
Qin Jian's hands quietly skimmed the keyboard like a light breeze, and every time he passed through, there was a wave of vibrant sound.
"The way he controls the volume is very chic. "A corner of the judges' bench.
...
It is often said that if you want to fully understand today, you must start with history.
The same is true of how to play Mozart on a modern piano.
The development of the piano after Mozart gave people more possibilities to express the emotions of music.
In fact, in that era when there was only the piano, not many people paid attention to the complexity of a work, the proficiency of the composition technique, and the construction of non-chord intervals to the inner blurring of the melody.
As long as everyone thinks it sounds good, in that era, music was just one of the ways of entertainment for the masses
Nowadays, the piano manufacturing technology, pronunciation principle, volume level and timbre effect have been improved day by day, and the 'Mozart notes' that were once used as an after-dinner pastime have become awe-inspiring.
It's really hard to say if it's a step forward or a step backwards.
"As a modern performer, I should have a deeper understanding and application of the technical knowledge of touch, timbre processing, pedals and dynamics changes in the treatment of Mozart's works. ”
Shen Qingci gave him advice after listening to Qin Jian's K491 in its entirety for the first time.
Qin Jian has been pondering this sentence repeatedly.
Based on his own understanding, he still chose the CFX model piano of the Yamah series this time, and he was the only contestant among the 25 finalists to choose an Asian brand.
The CFX's grain is clear, the tone is soft, and the touch is lightweight.
Mozart's piano down keys were much lighter than they are today, which meant that playing a song-like melody on a modern piano required greater finger control.
As the current president of Mozart's International Music Society said in his opening speech, 'Without systematic training in Chopin and Liszt's etudes, few pianists have the technical control to play the opening section of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in a concert hall of 2,000 people.
Qin Jian had not practiced Liszt, and Chopin's systematic practice had only just begun.
But in Chris's piano guide, he changed the way he articulated the keys, and in the practice of Chopin's hand position formula, he mastered the flow balance of the ten fingers, and in the last month of morning practice, he has developed a rudimentary understanding of finger control.
Therefore, he knew that he needed a piano that was really suitable for his current stage.
It's about how he restores K491 in his heart.
And after the music passed through the presentation department, the corners of Qin Jian's mouth raised slightly.
"Doesn't seem to be too bad. ”
...
As is customary for classical concertos, the orchestra will assume the remainder of the cadenza period.
But in K491, the orchestra took over the cadenza.
The piano appears again.
Qin Jian finally waved his arms.
The melody of the music, which continues to expand, disappears into the dark sky along with the long melancholy.
End of the first movement.
There was silence.
....
At this moment, Qin Jian raised his hand and motioned for Mellon to pause.
This is in line with etiquette.
He picked up a handkerchief and wiped his forehead and palms.
