Chapter 28: Learning to Play the Flute
PS: Ask for a referral ticket for Monday, thank you!
Not to mention, it's really difficult for this war horse to gallop.
Xi Qing originally thought that relying on the flexibility of his fingers and the invincibility of his fingering, he could completely control any music.
But the war horse galloped a few fast fighting bows, into the bow, even if he was assisted by the spiritual flow, he still didn't feel so faithful.
If you want to say that the war horse galloping performance, there is no problem. The galloping of the war horses that can be performed is not as shocking as the original, lacking the fierce scenes of the neighing of the war horses, galloping, charging into battle, and tenacious fighting, Xi Qing feels that it is an irresponsibility for the work.
Xi Qing shook his head: "Teacher Liu, I, I do overestimate my strength a little, this war horse galloping, I can't perform it in twenty minutes." “
"Huh. I guessed that if you could play this whole piece in 20 minutes, you would be standing at the Sydney Opera House, standing at the Vienna Golden Hall.
Did you know that the original author of this galloping horse performed this piece in these places? Excited, majestic, torn, shocking, those words that express military themes are not exaggerated in this piece. “
And this song, except for the original work itself, everyone else is missing that kind of charm. I can't hear that kind of fierceness, that kind of fighting. And that desolation. “
When Liu Sandao said this, he sighed a little: "Okay, I don't know if anyone else can play this tune." Regretful! ”
"Although you can't play it, you can try to play the front part, after the middle section is the difficult part of this piece, as long as you play the front part well, I will still teach you the flute."
Liu Sandao still wants to hear it.
Xi Qing said, "Teacher Liu, can you give me another ten minutes." “
"Okay."
After speaking, Liu Sandao went out again.
In the past ten minutes, Xi Qing seemed to have changed as a person, or Liu Sandao's sigh made him wake up at that moment, and he suddenly felt a lot more understanding of this song.
Perhaps it was that glory, the light of Vienna's golden halls shone into his heart, and the singing of the Sydney Opera House awakened the agility of his fingertips.
That wonderful heat flow made Xi Qing make a qualitative leap forward for a few quick bows, shakes, big blows, and sudden intakes.
Ten minutes later, Xi Qing walked out of the music room.
Liu Sandao thought that the ten-minute wait would be very long, maybe an hour, maybe a few hours, maybe no more, maybe, and it would be over like this today.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Xi Qing stood in front of him.
"You can play?"
Xi Qing nodded: "Teacher, I'm still the same sentence, give it a try, I don't pull it well, I hope you don't laugh at it." “
"Yes, let's get started."
Liu Sandao waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and Xi Qing sat on the chair and had already pulled up the erhu.
……
The introduction of the piece is a march, which begins with a majestic image of a border guard galloping on a war horse. Several consecutive rhythms, sonorous and powerful, Xi Qing is very skillful.
The melody rich in the tonal characteristics of "Mongolian folk songs", the tone of the first theme is this kind of exciting and high-spirited, when Xi Qing interpreted, Liu Sandao slowly closed his eyes.
In this music, Liu Sandao can feel Xi Qing's hard work.
He is indeed a great erhu violinist.
In the melody of the first theme, the collision and sparks of forge ahead, fierceness, and friction made Liu Sandao almost see the heroic image of the border guards straddle the horse and cross the gun.
Then, the short and fast rhythm suddenly changed, thin as silk, and the slightest thread was in the button. The lyrical music came leisurely, expressing the deep feelings of loving the motherland and loving peace.
Liu Sandao opened his eyes, Xi Qing was concentrating on pulling the bowstring, his hand jumped on the piano shaft, flying like a group of wild horses on the loose, however, he was orderly, calm, and did not drag mud and water.
Terrible.
Xi Qing is really a musical genius.
When he thought that this was the program performed by Xi Qing.
He couldn't help but praise his disciple for a few words, but who knows, this kid actually started the performance in the middle of the music.
The original author creatively used some special techniques, such as the galloping sound of the horse's hooves with a big blow, and gradually advancing upward from weak to strong, creating a sense of speed, thus depicting the neighing of the war horse and the tense and fierce galloping scene.
Later, the music suddenly slowed down to the neighing of the horses, and the tune came to a sudden halt, ending the whole piece powerfully.
The difficulty is not in the front, let alone the back, the key is the middle.
But Xi Qing didn't mean to stop at the moment, he continued to advance, continued to perform, this kid seems to be about to perform in the middle of the performance.
With the sonorous sound of the erhu in front, a breath of gunpowder smoke billowing, wind blowing, soldiers waving, and thousands of horses galloping has come to the face.
At this moment, Xi Qing was safe, he lifted the bow, and the chords rubbed up and down to make a clattering sound of horses' hooves running.
The previous section, in 2/4 time, was 6656.
In the latter section, the variation is 5575, the previous tone, the next tone.
Chord rubbing, the completion of such a "big blow", without the slightest trace of transition, is natural.
Liu Sandao already knew at this moment that Xi Qing seemed to have found the feeling and found the true meaning.
The galloping horses rushed in, and the fierce battle on the battlefield had begun.
Then, Xi Qing was "double-string fast shaking bow" and quickly pausing into the bow, bringing the music into the neighing of war horses, galloping, and more intense scenes.
Xi Qing is very serious, he is like entering a no-man's land.
It became one with the bow.
At that moment, Liu Sandao, who closed his eyes again, felt that he had come to the Sydney Opera House, to the Vienna Golden Hall.
The enjoyment of that kind of music made his heart feel comfortable.
The sound of the erhu restores the pomp and circumstance of the battlefield, a desolate and tragic and majestic interpretation.
Towards the end, Xi Qing slowly slowed down, and finally retracted his bow sharply in the neighing of the war horse, ending the whole song powerfully, making people feel the scene of the sword light and sword shadow disappearing, and the soldiers singing triumphant songs together.
Good.
Liu Sandao has never heard such a wonderful erhu performance again, and his level and bow skills are no worse than his own.
Liu Sandao is proud to have such a student, and the applause is unconscious.
Xi Qing closed the momentum, and he was also a little excited at this moment when he was holding the erhu.
Himself, he still performed this war horse galloping.
It seemed like a dream, and he still felt the heat of the battlefield flowing in his fingertips.
"Xi Qing, good job."
Liu Sandao smiled, at this moment, he also decided to cultivate well and teach Xi Qing with all he had learned.
This kid is a genius.
Musical wizard.
Not only the erhu and matouqin, but also let him learn cello, violin, flute, bass, saxophone, guzheng, as long as Xi Qing wants to learn, he will teach him, and finally hope that this kid can shine in the Chinese music and art world in the future.
In the afternoon and evening of that day, Xi Qing followed Teacher Liu Sandao to learn to play the flute. The flute is relatively simple, and Xi Qing learns very quickly. I heard that Xi Qing likes folk songs very much, and Liu Sandao taught Xi Qing to play the harmonica.
The wind was very cool when I went home that night, and the night was very dark, but there was a beam of light, in my heart, which pointed out the direction for Xi Qing!
