This whole set of knowing how to sit down is a long time to say, but the real time is only half a minute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, even if it is only for this half a minute, the grandmaster must be flawless, and everything must be done strictly according to the standards.

Of course, after this set is done, not to mention anything else, at least a professional and dedicated command image will come out immediately.

Zhang Dabao watched from the audience, "Hey, this master's style is really quite sufficient! better than me, better than me!"

The field attendant next to him glanced at Zhang Dabao with slanted eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything. However, the expression on this guy's face showed that he also agreed with their Zhang Tuan's words.

The grandmaster on the stage lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the wooden baton that was more than thirty centimeters long and white as jade.

The baton is a "weapon" unique to the conductor. On stage, the weapons of the musicians are those instruments, and the weapon of the conductor is such a short, thin baton.

It is such an inconspicuous-looking thin wooden stick, but in the hands of the conductor, it can bloom with incomparably dazzling brilliance. It is no exaggeration to say that at least more than half of the performances of all the musicians on the entire stage are controlled by this small wooden stick.

That's the magic of the baton!

The baton lying quietly on the music stand in front of me is a short stick, and the handle position is droplet-shaped. This made the Grandmaster's brow frown slightly.

To be honest, the Grandmaster is not very fond of short sticks, and when he was in school, he always practiced long sticks, that is, batons that are more than forty centimeters long.

Short sticks refer to those batons that are between 30 and 35 centimeters in length. Relatively speaking, the short stick is superior to conducting choruses and orchestrating musical works that are not too large.

Of course, this is not absolute, and there are many conductors who use it to conduct quite large or even super-large works, such as Karajan in his previous life, who liked to conduct with short sticks.

The length of the long bar is generally greater than 40cm, because it is easier to direct a large piece to prompt the musicians in the back row, so the size of the long bar is more. In previous lives, there were also some famous conductors who used long sticks with longer lengths, such as Bernstein, such as Reiner, etc., but the length of the long sticks in their hands is really very rare.

This baton is obviously the one used by Zhang Dabao, and everyone's command habits are different, so the baton used is also different.

It's as if Zhang Dabao likes to use this kind of short stick that is about 30 centimeters long, while the grandmaster is more accustomed to using a long stick that is more than 40 centimeters.

And the style of this baton is not what the grandmaster is used to.

The shape of the baton body is basically the same except for the length. Therefore, the so-called style of the baton refers to the shape of the baton handle.

There are quite a lot of styles of modern batons, the common ones are the more ancient cylindrical styles, and there are also more modern balls, droplets, gourds, olives, etc.

The handle is there to make it easier for the conductor to hold the baton. Because when the conductor is doing the command action, sometimes the force is very large, if the strength in the conductor's hand is not enough, then it is easy to let the baton out of his hand.

If the conductor suddenly "swishs" out of the baton while making an action, it will really become a big joke.

Therefore, the addition of a handle is to prevent this from happening.

Of course, there is also a kind of baton that does not have a handle. This kind of baton is not easy to control, because in order to control this kind of baton, in addition to the strength of the forearm and wrist, the force of the fingers is also more demanding, so it is more difficult to master.

But once the baton can be controlled freely, its flexibility is far greater than that of the baton with a handle, and if mastered well, the technique is more ornate and varied than other types.

In school, the baton used by the grandmaster is a handleless baton with a length of 43 cm!

It's just that the baton of each professional conductor is almost custom-made, and the grandmaster's appearance on the stage today is also temporary, where does he have this kind of preparation, so today he can only take Zhang Dabao's baton first.

Before picking up the baton, the grandmaster looked at the musicians in front of him and said, "Today we are practicing together on this piece is the "Wilhelm Retreat March", as the creator of this piece, to be honest, I really haven't appreciated your performance. Therefore, today I also ask everyone to show their highest level and strive to interpret this piece flawlessly. ”

After a pause, the Grandmaster continued, "However, although it is a joint practice, I am also very demanding, and if anyone has any flaws, I can hear it immediately. Of course, if the atmosphere of the whole piece is wrong, I can feel it. Therefore, in the middle of the joint practice, I may stop the joint practice according to the actual situation. But don't worry, everyone, we're just practicing together. ”

With that, the Grandmaster nodded at the musicians, and finally picked up the baton.

These words, the Grandmaster said that it was all right before picking up the baton, but once he picked up the baton, the Grandmaster would not make any sound with his mouth unless he stopped playing.

He can only express himself through the baton in his hand, the gesture of his left hand, the expression on his face, the eyes of his eyes, and his body movements.

It's the rule.

The grandmaster who took the baton first looked around the orchestra to concentrate the attention of the ensemble, and then his hands slowly raised and fell back, remaining relatively stable and stationary. The right hand is slightly higher, the distance between the hands is about 20 cm, the height is below the chest, and the shoulders and arms are relaxed and natural.

The next moment, the grandmaster's eyes looked at the trumpet in front of him, and the baton in his right hand made a microdot movement, and the direction of the click was the trumpeter.

"Wilhelm Dyer's March" is an excerpt from the fourth final chapter of the opera "Wilhelm Diehl" composed by the famous Italian musician Rossini in the 18th century, based on the famous German writer Schiller's famous work "Wilhelm Diehl".

The march is led by a trumpet solo, and at the beginning, a trumpet solo.

When the trumpeter saw the grandmaster's proposal, his face straightened, and his fingers pressed on the trumpet, and the next moment, when the baton in the grandmaster's hand waved, the trumpeter held his breath and began to play.

This solo trumpet is played for about fifteen seconds, during which the trumpet is dominant, with a bass trombone and timpani.

This fifteen-second piece of music is also a very classic trumpet solo from the grandmaster's previous life.

After this solo is completed, percussion, wind and string instruments are added, and immediately form the classic and widely circulated melody of the previous life.

Of course, the soundtrack of the horse gambling machine in the game hall in the previous life is also this classic melody.

This section was still dominated by the trumpet, but after about fifteen or sixteen seconds of playing, the Grandmaster suddenly stopped his baton.

The musical instruments in the audience came to an abrupt end.

The grandmaster put down the baton in his hand, pointed at Zhang Bing and said, "There are two notes on the clarinet that are not blown on the beat. And one of the notes of the trumpet is blown out!"

This melody, played by an ensemble of many instruments, is an uncompromising allegro, fast and demanding of the musicians.

If this allegro is played with strings, there is no problem without gods, but this fast-paced melody must be played with trumpets, so the requirements for trumpeters are higher.

The trumpet is a wind instrument, so it has an inherent weakness in fast-paced melodies.

In fact, the trumpeter of the orchestra is quite good, and his rhythm control is very good just now, and it can be seen that he has worked this piece. However, when he was playing just now, there was a small broken note, and if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear it.

But the grandmaster heard it.

As a conductor, being able to hear accurately is the most basic requirement. When the grandmaster was in Huangyin, he had to do listening training every day, and in the past four years, this kind of listening training alone has almost trained the grandmaster to vomit!

However, it is precisely because of such harsh listening training that the grandmaster has a pair of extremely sensitive ears.

Hearing the Grandmaster say this, the trumpeter nodded and raised his hand in an apologetic gesture.

The conductor heard correctly, and the trumpeter knew best in his heart that there was nothing wrong with his playing.

As for the clarinet, that is, the GI, he also made a very embarrassed expression.

This is the case with ensemble practice, if something goes wrong in the performance, and the conductor brings it up at the first time, then you can't make such a mistake again next time. Otherwise, how can we continue to improve?

Only by constantly finding mistakes and faults in the ensemble can we find out all the problems existing in the orchestra and finally make the performance of a piece more perfect.

That's what joint training is all about!

Seeing that the two musicians realized their mistakes, the Grandmaster said, "Strings, please pay attention to my posture. Well, if I'm doing this pose, it means that you're going to be gentle, and if I'm doing that, then I'm going to have to push harder. It's okay, it's our first time practicing together, and you don't know much about my body language, so let's get to know each other slowly in practice! ”

The Grandmaster clapped his hands, then picked up the baton again in his right hand.

"Stop, stop, the snare drum here isn't the right strength. Small drums, please pay attention to the posture of my left hand when playing this section, this section must be controlled dynamically, otherwise it will have a noisy taste......"

"Stop again, the rhythm of the second violin here is not ......"

"Stop, principal violin, you have to lead the first violin to play the emotion in this section, pay attention to the expression on my face and the gaze, when I get here, I will use my expression and eyes to tell you how to play this section......"

Almost every few tens of seconds, the guru would put down his baton and tell him how to play the section one by one to the musicians who had made a mistake.

At first, the musicians who were given their opinions were a little unhappy, after all, the mistakes they made were really insignificant, and some of them could not even be heard without listening carefully, so there was no need to point them out. To put it mildly, such a small fault has been pointed out, which is simply a bit nitpicking.

But when they heard that what the Grandmaster said was very reasonable, they all humbly accepted the Grandmaster's opinion.

Of course, the main reason for so many mistakes is that these musicians are not yet familiar with the conducting style of the grandmaster and the rigorous attitude of the grandmaster to music.

But it doesn't matter, as the run-in between the grandmaster and these musicians gets better and better, the performance of this "Wilhelm Retreat March" is getting better and better...... (To be continued.) )
