Chapter 206: Paganini's Amazing Technique (Part II)
Speaking of the Polonaise in D major, we have to say that its composer, Henrik Wieniawski, is not wrong with the guy who invented Wieniawski's bow holding method, and there is no doubt that this guy is a musical genius in his own right.
A very famous example is that when Wieniawski was eight years old, he went to the Paris Conservatoire, but the academy had a rather old-fashioned rule, they did not admit foreign students under the age of 12, and Liszt was rejected at the beginning.
But it was Wieniawski's turn to agree!
For example, Paganini, Liszt and others, when they were excellent performers themselves, made their compositions very technical.
"Polonaise in D major" is a gorgeous and very technical piece, if the violin does not reach a certain level, it will be very reluctant to play this piece, so Shen Mengyi's method is quite practical.
"I heard my second father say that Mengwei went to Qinglan Academy, and I watched the piano performance of Lu Shichen, the most famous principal of that college, and it is indeed a world-class level, even if it is a grade higher than the strength of the professors at the Juilliard School. ”
"But not necessarily for the violin. Shen Mengyi secretly thought in her heart that her sister Shen Mengwei finally sent a message.
"Doodoo"
Penguin video chat call Shen Mengyi immediately accepted, and the next second there was a video of green mountains and green waters, and there was also the immature voice of her cousin Shen Mengwei.
"Cousin, we're starting class, I'll ask Mr. Yang to play us a polonaise in D major, and then cousin, you're demolishing him. ”
And then there's all sorts of miscellaneous sounds, which are a bit noisy. Shen Mengyi lowered her voice slightly.
On the other hand, Shen Mengwei's side has not succeeded. But her second father, Shen Yi, came back and hung his bag and tie on the hanger. Entering the house without delay, he saw Shen Mengyi staring at his mobile phone all the time, and asked with a smile: "What movie is Mengyi watching, concentrate." ”
"Didn't watch a movie. Shen Mengyi naturally couldn't hide this kind of thing, after all, it was about her cousin's attendance at Holiday College, and she made it clear in 1510, and finally concluded: "To put this matter briefly, my cousin and I suspect that Paganini's teacher at the school, violin skills are not enough to be a teacher, let me see." ”
After Shen Yi heard this. I couldn't help but laugh and shake my head.
"Second Dad, what are you laughing at, what I said is true. Although Shen Mengyi was nineteen years old, when she saw that Shen Yi didn't believe her words, she was still very anxious and said: "I also checked, Paganini was indeed a violin genius before, but then he degenerated, and even sold his own violin, how can such a person be a teacher." ”
Shen Yi shrugged. said: "Then Mengyi, you keep watching, I still have things to deal with at work." With that, he walked into the study, not at all interested in the assessment of Paganini.
Shen Mengyi was not convinced. must prove to Shen Yi that she is right.
The video received by the mobile phone, Shen Mengwei and they were already in class. But the place is full of relaxation, in the Peach Blossom Fairy area. Falling with peach petals.
Of the 47 bear children, only a dozen of them were assigned to the violin department. So there weren't many people, or sitting on the stump, or leaning against the peach tree, or finding a futon to sit cross-legged on it, which was free, and the other students were taking Mozart's piano lessons.
Paganini, as a teacher, stood, and he spoke very little, but often concisely and to the point.
"The size of the resonance box determines the timbre of the violin, and this is the difference between a violin and a viola and a cello. ”
"The violin only has a treble notation, and by the way, the cello uses a bass notation. ”
"Before the lesson, I want to talk about something else, every time I play the violin, wipe it clean so that the rosin doesn't stay on it. Special attention should also be paid to the place where the violin is placed, do not put it in a damp place, let alone expose it to the sun, the former will make the violin damp and the body will become stuffy, and the latter may make the body burst. ”
"To learn to play the violin, you must first learn how to maintain it. ”
……
"Now you ask questions, and I will answer them. ”
As soon as Paganini's voice fell, more than a dozen students all looked at him blankly, there was no problem, or they were a little confused by his teaching mode and did not react.
"Since I don't, then I'll play a ...... of my own composition" Paganini didn't feel embarrassed at all, but moved on to the next stage.
As mentioned before, Paganini, known as a mute teacher, is only suitable for teaching geniuses.
"Teacher. Little Lori Shen Mengwei suddenly raised her hand and said, "My cousin said that Polonaise in D major is a must-learn repertoire for violin performance, can you play it for us." ”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Paganini, you will definitely be a polonaise in D major. "Pan Jun also helps, in addition to helping the minister, he also has a job...... That is to help cover up, and cover the mobile phone held by He Wenwen behind him with Shen Mengwei.
Although the class is very free, you can sit or stand, but you still have to hide it when you take photos with your mobile phone in class.
Pan Jun is a student of the piano department, and according to common sense, he should take Mozart's piano lessons at the treehouse now, but in order to cooperate with Shen Mengwei's plan, he came here.
This is the free mode of Qinglan Academy, don't say that you go to other departments, even if you don't go to class time, the teacher won't ask, let alone roll call or anything, I'm afraid even the teacher himself doesn't know how many students there are.
Shen Mengwei and Pan Jun, a boy's class president and a girl's class leader, so even if the other bear children don't know what the Polonaise in D major is, they still agree with it, bear children...... I just like to make noise.
There was a lot of discussion, and it was not until the discussion gradually became quieter that Paganini reacted and said: "Your cousin is wrong, Wieniawski's Polonaise in D major is not a compulsory repertoire for violin, compared to the Gypsy Song, which is more classic and important. ”
Paganini's words, even Shen Mengyi has nothing to refute.
"Polonaise in D major is not very familiar to me. Paganini took the violin out of the case, and the bears' eyes widened, they would rather see a live performance than a boring theoretical knowledge.
Shen Mengyi, who was observing through her mobile phone more than 20 kilometers away, pursed her lips and said in her heart: "First say that this piece is not a must-learn repertoire, and then say that you are not familiar with it, so that even if there is something wrong with the performance of the waiting meeting, there is something to say, I didn't expect this gringo to be really smart, and shirk responsibility one by one." ”
Immediately after Shen Mengyi saw Paganini's special way of holding the bow, it was obvious that at least in her opinion, this way of holding the bow could not even be pulled by ordinary bows and jumping bows, let alone others.
In the midst of the confusion in his mind, Paganini began...... (To be continued......)
