Chapter 754: The War Horse Gallops
And after their performance ended, Xu Xinyi was also wondering whether this song was suitable for her to sing, and it was not easy to sing this song well, although she has made considerable experience and progress in singing now. Moreover, it is quite difficult for such a song to become popular.
As for Chen Yushan, her style does not match this song. And she listened to Xu Jing and the others saying that such a song probably depends on Wang Zizi's opinions, so Xu Xinyi pondered that it would be better to simply put away such thoughts.
Of course, applause still has to be given, and Xu Xinyi doesn't want to leave them with the impression that her star shelf is too big.
On the stage, Huang Jing and the others also packed up their instruments and prepared to retreat, of course Qin Fangge couldn't escape, and Zuo Shuqin didn't let them. She even encouraged everyone to squeeze out more of his potential, and asked everyone what they wanted to hear him play, saying that as long as it wasn't too excessive, he should be satisfied.
At that moment, an old customer jumped out and said loudly that he wanted to listen to Qin Fang's song, "Erhu solo!"
"You want to show off your skills!"
"It's good for wild bees to fly!" There were really a lot of viewers who echoed the voice, and Xu Jing and the others were also among them, and they were quite happy.
Although Huang Jing usually likes to joke about Qin Fangge, she is also the kind of person who only allows her to say and does not allow others to talk about it, and at the moment she also allows Qin Fangge to show her true level, "Don't fall into the prestige of the senior sisters!"
Kanako felt that she couldn't get into other people's agitated methods, not to mention that these audience members didn't really know much about erhu music, but watching Qin Fangge play the erhu with them on stage, I just wanted to be fresh! Many people couldn't hear which erhu sound in the big ensemble was played by him.
Qin Fangge himself didn't care, but most of the girls expressed their support for him, and Qian Shuyuan also said, "It's time to show real skills!"
When they left the organization, Qin Fangge also asked Yu Xiaoxia to borrow the three strings, and the girl was quite surprised, "You want to play the three strings?"
When Qin Fangge smiled and said that it should be useful, Yu Xiaoxia nodded and left the instrument behind, and asked him what track he wanted to play. He only said that he would know soon, and hoped that he would not be blamed.
Yu Xiaoxia hurriedly said no, "Many people may not know what kind of musical instrument this is!"
Wang Zizi agreed, and said with a smile that she also wanted to lend him the instrument to perform, and she also asked Chen Tianhong next to her, "Do you want him to come to Duan Pipa?"
Chen Tianhong shook his head and said, "Don't do it, let's wait until I practice well!"
Zuo Shuqin didn't care about this, Qin Fangge was in the preparation time, and the audience under the stage was also relaxed for a while, drinking and chatting for a while.
Pan Lina, the girl, also said that she wanted to go down and order a glass of wine to drink, how can you come to the bar without drinking.
After they all went back to their positions and Zuo Shuqin also went down to help, Qin Fangge picked up the erhu in his hand and played, and he didn't report the curtain or anything at all. made many people think that he was just auditioning, but this definitely does not include Huang Jing Kanako and a few erhu players.
Because at the beginning of Qin Fangge, what he pulled out was a particularly passionate introduction full of march style.
If you are a music lover from another time and space, or, just an ordinary person, you can hear it as soon as you listen to it, isn't this the theme of the PLA military song?
"Comrades rushed to the battlefield of liberation with neat steps, and comrades rushed to the frontier of the motherland with neat steps!"
Of course, this is just an introduction, using the most ** theme of the military song, but it is such a theme. As if a loud military horn was blown, the curtain kicked off, allowing the whole piece to stabilize in the excitement.
Like the previous ancient song, it also starts to be high-energy as soon as it comes on the stage.
This also means that this will be a more showy piece of music.
Qin Fangge didn't say what this piece was written about, and what kind of scene it described couldn't be judged by the name of the track, it could only rely on everyone's imagination.
He didn't intend to test everyone, he was just lazy.
But Huang Jing's erhu players were very excited, saying that among the people present, they knew the erhu best, which was not surprising at all. They must be able to understand, and as for the others, that's not for them to worry about.
They are particularly sensitive to erhu, and Qin Fangge's erhu performance skills also tend to the level of masters, and through the introduction, they have successfully created a mighty image of soldiers riding horses and galloping. The tone is exciting, the rhythm is sonorous and powerful, which can provoke people's nerves and make people feel immersive.
Especially for people like Huang Jing, who have a particularly high level of knowledge in music, the feeling is even more profound.
While listening attentively, their eyes did not leave Qin Fangge's performance for a moment, and they didn't even dare to blink their eyelids, for fear that they would miss the details of blinking their eyelids.
With the smoke billowing in the music, the soldiers waving, and the galloping horses bring people spiritual and visual shock, while his hand movements are even more dazzling.
Although Xu Jing and the others couldn't understand it, they also felt as if they were very powerful.
In fact, it is true that Qin Fangge used a lot of difficult playing skills when playing, some of which Huang Jing had never seen him play before. For example, performance techniques such as "double-string rapid bow shaking" and "big bow" seem to have vitality in his hands.
And as the music progressed, the neighing of the horses he played made Huang Jing Kanako can't help but want to clap loudly.
They also saw clearly that when Qin Fangge imitated the sound of a horse, he stayed on Sanskrit for a long time.
There are also specific subtleties worth noting, such as the two-string fluttering technique used when the horses neigh. Specifically, it is to put the middle finger of the right hand outside the bow, and the index finger together to hook the bow shaft, so that the bow stem rubs the outer string, and at the same time use the ring finger to hook the bow hair, so that it rubs the inner string, so as to play the double string or the middle finger and ring finger bend, hook the bow hair downward, and press the bow hair into a flat shape, so that it can rub the inner and outer strings at the same time. The sound that comes out of this way is the neighing of the horses of the herd.
The neighing of a single horse is achieved by a different playing technique. Generally known as the inner line sliding method, it is to use the two or three fingers of the left hand to slide from the high position to a sliding to the very high note, the middle finger or ring finger of the right hand is tightly hooked with the bow hair, and the inner string is drawn on the left hand while pulling from the middle bow to the tip of the bow, and then the left hand makes a small glide note, and the right hand cooperates with the fast continuous pause of the bow pushing the bow with the inner string.
In addition, there are many uncommon playing techniques, such as imitating the shouts of the battlefield. It is in the opening section of the song that the fierce scene of the two armies fighting on the battlefield is depicted, with the sound of horses' hooves, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts one after another. In terms of playing technique, he uses a two-string trembling bow glide, using the bow shaft and bow hair to rub the inner and outer double strings. The difference is that the two-string trembling bow glide must be used at the same time, combined with the glide of the left hand, to achieve a special sound that simulates a shout.
The sound of horses' hooves is a large number of techniques such as throwing bows and striking bows to simulate the sound of horses' hooves during fierce battles on the battlefield.
Only erhu players with relatively high talents, such as Huang Jing and Kanako, can see these differences when they listen to it for the first time. Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu, although they also specialize in erhu, will be able to concentrate enough, but they still focus more on hearing. It's not easy to do both.
They are still like that, let alone others.
Ordinary people saw Qin Fangge moving his bow like flying, but his body sitting on the chair was very stable, and he was not like some musicians, leaning forward and backward, with various expressions on his face and various movements of his limbs.
Of course, the overall musical image goes without saying, even Lin Baoqing feels that he vividly expresses the scene of the galloping war horse like a relief. The name of this piece is about to come out, and if you can't hear it at the end of this time, you're really embarrassed to say that you are studying music.
In another time and space, Chen Yaoxing's "War Horse Galloping", as soon as it was staged, it caused a strong sensation, and after many adaptations and continuous improvements, it was not only very popular in China, but also successfully went abroad, becoming one of the representative repertoire in erhu.
When Qin Fangge performed this song, of course, he would also make some changes of his own. For example, the playing speed is increased, the chromatic scale is processed, and the various simulated sounds are also extended, which is also a very challenging thing. Although he doesn't deliberately show off his skills, choosing to play such a piece is very telling.
Xi Wanqing and the others were dazzled, and they heard it a little foggy, if they didn't just watch Qin Fangge play on the stage alone, they would have wondered if they had opened the accompaniment or something. Otherwise, how could it be possible to play such rich and wonderful music with just an erhu. This is very different from the inherent image of the erhu in their impressions.
However, the facts are in front of you.
The sound of the battlefield simulated by Qin Fangge is also vivid, although they have not experienced the battlefield in person, they have ridden horses. No matter how bad it is, I've always seen it in film and television works!
No matter how sluggish the reaction is, in the end, it can be judged.
After Qin Fangge's performance was over, Xu Jing had to be careful to verify with her cousin Xu Xinyi, "It's the battlefield where the performance is played, and the horses!"
Xu Xinyi nodded, and didn't laugh at her for not learning or anything. She just wondered, "Why does he always play and write about the battlefield today?"
Xu Jing replied with a smile, "Actually, it's hard for men to understand!"
Xue Min said that this is not surprising, because men are naturally competitive and eager to become heroes and return triumphantly on the battlefield.
He Ruyun summed it up better, "Saying so much, isn't it just grabbing money, food, and women?"
Xi Wanqing stroked her forehead and was speechless, "What you said is so reasonable, I am speechless!"
Xu Jing laughed at her, "You have played too many browser games, have you! Sister Wanqing, do you have such a routine in your family?"
Xi Wanqing only glanced at her, and Xue Min also smiled at Xu Jing, "The games she makes are somewhat stylish!"
The reaction on their side, of course, is still not as good as that of Huang Jing Kanako's side.
Huang Jing was naturally very happy, saying that he wanted to get the score immediately, and pretended to complain that Qin Fangge also concealed his hands, "I don't know how many erhu works he didn't take out!"
The other girls couldn't say clearly, but Feng Lulu also said, "Don't be in such a hurry, when it's time to take it out, he will definitely take it out." And it's nice to surprise all of us in this way!"
Qian Shuyuan nodded in agreement, and then also said, "It's definitely not easy to play such a piece well, but with our level, as long as we practice well, it shouldn't be a problem to take it down." ”
Kanako said that this is for sure, and she also pointed out keenly, "This piece is to express the atmosphere of the battlefield, although he has not said the name yet, but I think it is actually okay to put it in a modern cavalry army." ”
"There's nothing wrong with this!" Huang Jing nodded, "Could it be that he prepared it for the troops?"
Her worries are not unreasonable, many of Zhou Xiuying's students work in the army's art troupe, and Qin Fangge has also composed a lot of military-related music before.
Qian Shuyuan didn't think it was so complicated, "No matter who it is for, it will definitely be no problem for us to practice!"
"That's right!" everyone agreed.
And Ning Xiupei was also inquiring with Lin Baoqing, "He didn't come up with this song before!"
Lin Baoqing replied no, but also said, "Many of his songs are like this, once we have inspiration, we can complete it quickly, we are all used to it." He played so skillfully that he must have practiced. Huang Jing and the others want to get the music score, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to practice decently. ”
Ning Xiupei is not like this, and there is no way to be unaccustomed to it. And looking at Qin Fangge's playing technique, she must have practiced, but she didn't take it out before! She doesn't bother about this matter, this guy still has a lot of things to hide, and she, as a mother, can't force him too much, otherwise it will only backfire. Seeing that Lin Baoqing understood him very well, it also reassured her a lot.
After Qin Fangge's performance on the stage ended, he didn't say what the name of this piece was. It wasn't until an audience member pondered for a long time that they remembered to ask about it.
Qin Fangge simply replied with four words, "War Horse Galloping".
He didn't continue to play without interruption, but put the erhu away, picked up Yu Xiaoxia's three strings, and pretended to do the debugging and familiarization work. He was lazy there, and the audience didn't rest, cheering, applauding, drinking, all had time to rest for a while. Not to mention the energy he spent playing on stage, the audience kept following his rhythm, receiving all kinds of auditory and visual shocks and impacts, whether physical or physical were also very tired, you know, many customers have no place to sit, can only stand. But in order to be able to come in and listen to music, they can't help it, just bear with it.
