Chapter 462: Chopin and His Musical Works
Chopin's etudes completely break through the purely technical etudes since Clementi, Czerny and Moschelez, and do not deliberately highlight the gorgeous virtuosity, so that the music can convey deeper feelings.
Qu Lihua was also interested in listening to Professor Chen Qi's introduction to Chopin, and she also participated in the discussion.
"I've also heard Chopin's piano music, and I've listened to Chopin's waltzes a lot, and the tunes are very light and romantic, and they are used as soundtracks for big dances in the court. ”
"Yes, Chopin lived in an era when the aristocracy liked waltzes, because balls were often held in the court, and musical accompaniment was needed, and at that time it was not ordinary people who could compose, and Chopin was so famous that he was invited to compose waltzes. Professor Chen Qi said.
"Chopin's waltzes have always been known for their beauty, elegance and magnificence, but because of the complex rhythmic changes, they are not suitable for actual dances. Head Xia Yuxiang said.
"There are still a lot of etiquette and exquisiteness in court dance, which is still a bit complicated, and if you want to compose a waltz, you have to understand these etiquettes, and you have to do a lot of preparation, which is not easy. ”
Meng Wenjie nodded, "Chopin's prelude, can be a piece of music with different styles, freely combined into a suite, I have also heard a lot of Chopin's music works, Chopin is really famous all over the world, when it comes to this musician, many people know." ”
Professor Chen Qi sighed, "Yes, Chopin composed about 200 works in his lifetime, including 2 piano concertos, piano trios, 3 piano sonatas, 4 ballades, 4 scherzos, 27 etudes, 16 polonian dances, 17 waltzes, 21 nocturnes, 4 improvisations, 3 Eposeitz dances, 17 songs, in addition to boleros, boat songs, lullabies, fantasias, rondos, variations, etc., a total of 21 volumes. ”
It can be seen that Chopin was a prolific musician, very diligent, and when he was inspired, he wrote his inspiration into music, and many of his works have been preserved, and there are still many music lovers who come to learn and practice playing Chopin's works. ”
"When we listen to Chopin's music today, it's like going back in time, there is a magical time machine, you can travel back in time to the era in which he lived, his piano music is very emotional, his works are also changing, based on his experiences, what he saw and heard, his feelings and inspirations. ”
"Music has no borders, it doesn't need to be translated, it is the common language of mankind, it can reach people's hearts, this is the charm of music, although so many years have passed, but when we listen to the works of this music master again, we can also empathize, understand his musical soul, and understand what he wants to express. Professor Chen Qi said.
Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Chopin was born in Warsaw, his soul belongs to Poland, and his talent belongs to the world. ”
Xia Yuxiang said: "Chopin's musical works are still remarkable, leaving us with a deep impression, when we were in school, the teacher also told the characteristics of Chopin's musical works, I will introduce some to you here." ”
"Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, the first theme is stormy, the second movement notes the adagio, there are strange chords, and the dissonant chords in the opening section appear with sudden emotions, but the sweet dream in the middle section is not broken by this sudden punch".
Then the strange chords of the first half of the second theme reappear, reintroducing the emotions of constant struggle, wrestling, longing, and still not seeing a bright future until the end. ”
"These require some professional knowledge of music theory, and when I was in school, our music teacher also admired Chopin, and when it came to the works of this music master, the teacher would do a detailed analysis. ”
"The growth of a musician is also combined with the background of the society at that time, the era of creation, the characteristics of the times at that time, musicians are also people, living in society, coming into contact with different people, and having some like-minded friends, who still played an influential role in Chopin's music creation, and there are many musicians of his time, and the music creation environment at that time was very good, which is why there are so many musicians. ”
Professor Chen Qi nodded, "I also agree with Captain Xia's point of view, Chopin's mazurka music variously applies folk rhythms, and is recreated according to highly specialized artistic standards, and has more ingenious creations in harmony and tonality, and his music has a more refined melody, which increases the sense of jumping, and gives poetry in the changes." ”
"The Dance in C sharp minor is the largest of Chopin's mazurka repertoire, and the beginning of the piece is influenced by Bach's musical style, with a classical feeling, like the sound of an organ. ”
"Chopin is very musically accomplished, very musically talented, we look back at the legendary life of this musician, and we are very lamented, Chopin only lived 39 years old, he died, talented, very short, but he was a prolific musician, leaving so many musical works for the world, or very artistic. ”
Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, for the appreciation of contemporaneous musicians such as Liszt and Schumann, Chopin also has like-minded friends, about emotional life, it is still very rich, I have met 5 women, I have lived with them, and I have also had feelings, and then I separated for various reasons, although I have regrets, but I have also experienced some things, and it has also made Chopin mature a lot." ”
Meng Wenjie said: "I always think that an excellent musician's works should be moving, must be down-to-earth, to compose music works that can resonate with people at that time, music is the most emotional art, and painting, dance has different impacts on human beings, human beings need music, with music also allows our hearts to experience different emotions, music sometimes soothes people's wounded hearts." ”
"Yes, I also like to listen to Chopin's piano music, I also like to listen to pop music, listen to rock music, moving and exciting, but also occasionally nostalgic, listen to Beethoven's music, listen to Chopin's music, both of them musicians are famous all over the world, although for many years, people still remember them, they created immortal musical works, and they are still praised and praised by future generations. ”
Professor Chen Qi sighed, "Yes, like Copernicus, Madame Curry and others, Chopin has become a symbol of Poland and a calling card of Poland, and its meaning has long gone beyond the scope of music and piano. ”
