640. Encouragement and Guidance, Duan Ran and 'Extremes'
Duan Ran felt very good when he played, Qin Jian said in his heart.
There are no personal feelings, at least he likes it.
As Vaughn wrote in his music review, 'The best pianist is the one who inspires the listener, and she plays with a persuasive power that gives me wonderful associations of how I would feel if I could play like him.' ’
Duan Ran's performance had a persuasive power at this time, and Qin Jian had this fantasy that 'I am playing like this at this time'.
To this day, there are still many people who insist that the right to play Chopin's music belongs to the experts.
Ever since the Bergen turmoil, Qin Jian has also been reflecting on the question of 'the authority of playing a work.' ’
Perhaps Qin Jian has never been systematically educated in modern European pianos, so he does not have much sense of substitution for the term authoritative performer.
Aside from the purposeful 'preliminaries parody performances', the rest of the time he focuses more on the repertoire from the composer himself.
This includes the composer's feelings about the work, the composer's creative background, and the context of the era to which the work belongs.
From Czerny to Beethoven, from Mozart to Rachmaninov and now Chopin.
Qin Jian can deeply feel that the feelings from the composer himself have an increasing influence on his performance of his works.
Of course, in this process, he will never deny the teachings of several teachers, He Jing's correction of his performance norms, Liao Linjun's tonal color science and piano teaching method, Shen Qingci's romantic music performance skills, the old bartender's Bach polyphonic thinking, and the old Asaad's counterpoint course, all of which directly or indirectly affected him.
Even when listening to the live performances of international first-line pianists such as Nobuyuki Tokai, Zilman, and Barum, Qin Jian is also learning from them.
Whether it is a few of his leaders or many international performers, Qin Jian has never regarded them as some kind of authority, and he sees them as a description with a certain 'bias'.
There are some contradictions between these people in terms of musical expression, but Qin Jian can feel that they are all insisting on themselves.
Behind this kind of expression are their different growth curves, different life experiences, different national cultures, different character traits and so on.
Therefore, the music they present to the world is made of kaleidoscopic elements that are fused, fused, fused again, and finally extracted and refined by time and sweat.
Qin Jian believes that this is the only way for every performer to become a classic.
No one can jump out of this circle.
Duan Ran was in a stage of fusion refining at this time, and even this fusion refining was not just aimed at Chopin.
Unlike Qin Jian, Duan Ran is loyal to different composers' works in different ways, and she plays any composer's works with her own distinct personal label, fierce, fierce, and full of momentum, which makes people sound like they are showing off their skills.
But Qin Jian knows that there is a sensitive heart behind this gorgeous performance, an orderly work filtered by reason.
It is undeniable that Riegel and Liao Linjun are both current performers, both of whom are Duan Ran's teachers and friends.
The advice they give must have a reason and intention behind it.
But at this stage, Qin Jian felt that the most important thing was for Duan Ran to rely on himself to understand, think, and judge more deeply.
So Qin Jian thought, as himself, at this time, the best advice he can give to the other party is probably encouragement and guidance.
...
In the surging piano room, the whole piece ends with Duan Ran's last set of tense major chords.
The hum faded after a brief silence.
Qin Jian's applause then rang out. Eighth Library
Duan Ran withdrew his hand, then turned his head, his little face full of anticipation.
Moment.
"Uh-huh————"
Qin Jian hummed, put his hands on Duan Ran's shoulders, and gently squeezed them for the other party, "I like your handling very much." ”
Duan Ran was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"
Qin Jian replied as a matter of course: "If you put this performance you just now into the performance of a group of musicians, and then blindfold me for me to distinguish, I can almost hear your version within a small bar. ”
Duan Ran was a little excited when she heard this, but she still raised a question in her heart: "Don't you think it's a little too big in the strength of individual notes?"
Qin Jian asked Duan Ran rhetorically, "Do you think they're too big?"
Duan Ran shook his head and his gaze was scattered for a moment: "But teachers.."
"I understand. Qin Jian smiled and the strength in his hand was also a little stronger, "Of course, the advice and guidance of the teachers is the most important, but as a performer, my idea is that when you need to handle music in a really extreme way, you have to dare to use it." ”
Qin Jian knew that Duan Ran had always been like this, and he did his own thing, but for some reason, he had also been concerned about other people's opinions recently.
After a pause, he gave the other party an example from Chris's Intermediate Guide.
"You know that in the whole system of virtuosos, there's a special category of virtuoso who are called 'Extremes,' extreme performers. ”
"There are people with extreme speed, there are people with extreme volume, there are people with extreme fingering, they like to work on the edge of the musical soil in their own way, they are very skilled, they can switch between 'normal playing and extremes', but no matter which way they play, they are very clear about what they want to say. ”
"The most important part of this is the expression part, so the teachers' ideas are important, but before that, I think the more important thing is whether you are clear about what you want to express in this work. ”
Duan Ran had also been sorting out herself along with Qin Jian's words, so when she heard the question of the tone of the other party's last statement, she subconsciously said, "I'm clear." ”
The corners of Qin Jian's mouth raised: "So what's the problem?"
With Qin Jian's encouragement and guidance, Duan Ran's heart fell a lot for a while, "I understand!"
Qin Jian likes to see Duan Ran's confident appearance, but he still has to mention some things appropriately, "But there is one."
Duan Ran's chick pecked at the rice and nodded.
Qin Jian paused: "Duan Ran, you have to learn to listen to other people's suggestions from different angles, and you have to think deeply about the behind these suggestions, including this advice of mine, you must always make it clear that it is yourself who finally sits in front of the piano." ”
Facing Qin Jian's clear gaze, Duan Ran nodded seriously, these two sentences instinctively stimulated something in her heart.
Moment.
Duan Ran changed into a well-behaved female classmate: "Thank you, Teacher Qin, for your advice." ”
Qin Jian: "Teacher?"
Duan Ran pursed his mouth, then raised his head and sat up straight, like a primary school student in class: "Am I not like your student now?"
This move made Qin Jian's gaze shift a little.
'Gollum. ’
Judging from the current position of the two, Qin Jian was indeed involuntary.
