Chapter 4 Piano Accompaniment
When Qin Fangge closed his eyes and recuperated, Xiao Yuran also reached over from time to time to touch his forehead and feel his temperature. He relied on himself to adjust the rhythm of the infusion without any discomfort, and the infusion was completed in two and a half hours, and then he went back to his residence with the two girls.
Of course, he didn't forget to thank the two beauties, Chen Yushan let him sleep well and went to help him get boiling water, asking him to drink more water and get a cold quickly.
Xiao Yuran asked him to go to the piano room together after getting up, she had to practice the piano for a few hours every day, Qin Fangge was no exception, except for special circumstances, he basically had to practice the piano every day, not to mention, his task today was very heavy, and he had to make the piano accompaniment.
After all, it is a different environment, although I haven't slept for a long time, but this night, Qin Fangge didn't sleep at ease, and also had a dream about her little daughter, in the dream, she coquettishly told her father to listen to him play the piano and sing, and after waking up, she still felt sad, but unfortunately that time can't go back.
When I got up, it was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Yushan was fine during the day, and she planned to accompany her throughout the whole process, so she went out in advance to buy a blank stave and came back, but she still asked him to bring a laptop, saying that it was convenient and fast to play music on the computer, and it was also easy to modify.
Qin Fangge said that he would go back and give her money, but she looked at her angrily, which made Xiao Yuran laugh next to him.
Before going out, Xiao Yuran also asked him to measure his temperature and take medicine, but fortunately, the fever had subsided, and his mental state was not bad, and the two girls were also a lot more relieved.
If you have a cold, you want to eat lightly, so you go to the Sichuan restaurant you often go to nearby to order stir-fried dishes, but Qin Fangge, a foodie, still doesn't change his true colors even if he is sick, and he destroys all the dishes that the two girls can't eat, not to mention, and eats three bowls of white rice.
The basement they rented is opposite the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and the piano room they are going to is also nearby, which can be said to be specially prepared for candidates from other places. Business is doing quite well, and if they hadn't booked it for the past few months, there would have been no place for it now.
Xiao Yuran booked the afternoon time, from one to six o'clock, five hours, ten yuan per hour, and never stopped every day. Qin Fangge's practice is shorter, three hours, one to four o'clock, after all, vocal music is his major, but every day is not easier than her. Both of them have been like this for more than ten years, they eat a little, they live a little, they don't care even if they are in the basement, but practicing the piano must be guaranteed.
On the way, he received a call from Qin Fangge's mother, Ning Xiupei, saying that his temporary ID card had been processed, and asked him not to worry about preparing for the exam with peace of mind, she would fly over in the evening and arrive at about ten o'clock.
Chen Yushan beat the side drum and asked her how many days she would stay, so she could help book a room, and it happened that she was fine in the afternoon.
Ning Xiupei said that she couldn't take too long of leave from the school, at most three days, Chen Yushan planned to book it according to this standard, and got the unanimous thanks of Qin Fangge's mother and son.
Then Chen Yushan went to help book a room, and Xiao Yuran and Qin Fangge rushed to the piano room.
Xiao Yuran hoped to hear the accompaniment he made earlier, but after arriving at the piano room, Qin Fangge unceremoniously drove her away and asked her to practice the repertoire for tomorrow's exam by herself, and said that he would go to her to check it later.
Xiao Yuran stared at him with wide eyes, ignored by Qin Fangge, and she couldn't resist the ****, so she could only obediently go to practice, but fortunately, the piano room rented by the two was next door.
Renting the piano room is still Xiao Yuran's money, and this little girl is very happy to help him pay.
He didn't care about the ambiguous smile of the owner of the piano room, and took the key directly in, the piano room was very small, and it was a domestic piano. He closed the door, feeling that the sound insulation effect was not bad, and he couldn't hear the sound of practicing in other piano rooms.
After putting away the computer and the blank staves, Qin Fangge sat down in front of the piano.
Reaching out and caressing the piano keys, listening to the clear sound of the piano, he tried it, and felt that the quality was not bad, the tuning was relatively accurate, and he did not make too high demands on the timbre, and it was enough to practice the piano. In the past, when he was at the Conservatory of Music of Jiangcheng University, most of the piano rooms were also domestic pianos, which were cheap and affordable.
He did not immediately start accompaniment, but began with one of the most played pieces before, the Canon Variations for his daughter, which he adapted from the most popular version of Bachbell's version of Canon.
He was also pleasantly surprised to find that his tall body was not a simple rice bucket, his fingers were long enough, his palms were big enough, and his left and right hands could easily span an octave, and it was more than enough to span eleven degrees. This innate condition can be said to be quite superior, and it is especially helpful for some difficult tracks that love to show off their skills. In his previous life, he was hard, his hands were not big enough and not high enough, this hardware was not up to standard, and he couldn't even think about it when he couldn't think about it anymore, so he could only envy other people's flowing water. It's okay to play it down a little bit, but it's quite cruel to your own ears or to other people's ears.
After a song, he gradually found his senses.
And Qin Fangge's hard work in the past ten years has also shown that his hands are big but not clumsy, on the contrary, his fingers are extremely dexterous. Just like a child getting a new toy that he has been longing for for a long time, the cells in his body become active, and he has a strong desire to play.
He didn't know the sky and the earth at the moment, and he wanted to challenge the high difficulty. As soon as he said so, he played Liszt's piano piece based on Paganini's violin piece "The Bell". The most familiar ******** pianists Lang Lang and Li Yundi have both played this piece to show super high performance skills, and he has seen the video before to facilitate comparison.
He was full of ambition, and the score was imprinted in his mind and could be called at any time, but when he actually played it, it was very different from the Canon Variations just now. The difficulty is not ordinarily high, what kind of vibrato of other tracks is difficult, and the three octave jumps are pediatric in this piece. The speed at which he played the piano was enough, but he was tossed in a hurry, and he made a lot of mistakes, and the effect of the performance was needless to say, which was really miserable. Compared with other piano masters, not only the posture is beautiful, but the feelings are also handled very well. He's playing a mess now, it's two completely different tunes!
In the end, even he couldn't help laughing, he was still too anxious!
He smiled and put it aside, but the joy in his heart couldn't be hidden, and he didn't dare to try such a difficult repertoire in the past. That really made him cry, and in the end he couldn't play it down, so talent is really important.
Through this attempt, he is also sure that as long as he can practice it, he can completely win the more difficult pieces.
For now, I still make the piano accompaniment of "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" that is going to take the exam.
Since he increased the length of the song, the original song was not accompanied by a piano, which gave him a lot of room and room to play.
This song is full of vicissitudes and has a majestic and majestic sense of history, and the piano accompaniment naturally cannot be made tender and soft.
The intro should not be too long, but it should be distinctive and lead to the theme, and it should not dominate the main story. If it is released as a song, it will be much more complicated, and it will definitely be added to the guqin or guzheng, so that the historical charm will be stronger.
Now it's just a piano accompaniment, which is not difficult for him, who used to be a music teacher and has too many references in his mind. He knew best what he knew most about the composition department of the Conservatory of Music, such as harmony, polyphony, form, orchestration, and the newly developed electronic music, and theory, but now it was only a matter of turning theory into practice.
After making a prelude that he had planned for a long time, he played on the piano and sang along with his mouth, which was more inspirational for him, and singing was also a practice to be practiced, right?
With the main theme, his piano accompaniment also goes more smoothly, playing all the way and then going back to making adjustments to the details.
He was quite fast, and in less than half an hour he had set the piano accompaniment.
With the accompaniment, he came again in its entirety, and felt quite good about himself.
Then it was entered into the computer, and most of the fingers that played the piano were quite flexible, and he typed quite quickly, and there was basically no need to make any adjustments.
As for such things as copying on the stave or printing it out, he planned to go back and do it again, and the time in the piano room could not be wasted.
But right now, it's not time for him to practice, for this exam, he needs to prepare five songs, and he doesn't plan to create two foreign songs, and it's really too demonic to get it out, but fortunately, the piano accompaniment is ready-made, and the stave is ready, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
For the other two Chinese songs, he plans to use original ones. The exam for the vocal opera major is not allowed to sing popular songs, so let's have some art songs with the main theme.
The other two songs he selected were very classic, and he had invested enough money to enter the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.
One is "I Love You, China", and the other is "My Motherland".
The song "I Love You, China" takes Mr. Liao Changyong as an example, and students often sing it during exams, and the piano accompaniment is very mature.
He came again with piano accompaniment. With his current piano performance level, playing such piano accompaniment is just a piece of cake, but his voice is not completely good, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
With the song "My Motherland", he has a lot more work to do. Strictly speaking, this is not a suitable track for the exam, but out of his love for this song, and he has a deeper consideration, he still plans to sing this song during the re-exam.
This classic song is an episode of the movie "Shangganling", written by Qiao Yu, composed by Liu Chi, and sung by Guo Lanying. Lang Lang also played the piano version of this song when he was in the White House in the United States, and it also caused a lot of turmoil.
He plans to use the original version, this song was taught to be sung by the teacher when he was in elementary school music class, the whole song has a beautiful melody and moving lyrics, and the lyrics are kind and vivid, which is the best memory in his heart.
The song begins with a chorus, "A big river has wide waves, the wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides, and my family lives on the shore, and I am used to hearing the trumpet of the captain and seeing the white sails on the boat." ”
Now this part has to be sung by himself, he is ready to sing it in a rising key, and the piano accompaniment has a heavier task in this part, to do more harmonies, to render the majestic momentum of the chorus, and to raise it to the same height as the singing, and the piano and vocal music belong to the same position.
Then the lyrics of the first part of the solo singing, the piano accompaniment here is the real accompaniment, which belongs to the background and mainly plays a supporting role, and the real protagonist is the singing voice of the main melody.
The three-part solo chorus, he intends to continue in this form, at this time, he does not have to worry about the length of the song, the whole song is nearly six minutes, which is quite a long song. But unlike the first test, after entering the second test, the length of the song no longer matters, he only hopes to show the most complete song to the world, and by the way, leave a deeper impression on the professors of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.
Although there are many piano versions of Zhuyu in front, and Lang Lang's solo piano version can also be scored, it is still a little different from his current requirements. Therefore, he still accompanies according to his own ideas, in order to show more of the feelings and thoughts he wants.
It took a little more time, but it didn't bother him, even if it was a little more revised.
When he had finished the accompaniment, there was a knock at the door, and he called them in, knowing who it would be without thinking.
