() Performance Fundamentals Test?

Why do we need to do basic testing?

Isn't my playing foundation still solid enough in the eyes of the masters?

How is this possible?

Ye Zi's heart suddenly sank, and a little doubt and worry filled with deep in his heart.

In his previous life, Ye Zi had more than 20 years of performance experience. After obtaining the system in this life, Ye Zi studied the basics of classical guitar playing with Master Carkashi. In the past six months or so, Ye Zi has had to carry out basic training on guitar playing every day, without interruption. Years ago, the system had already determined that Ye Zitong Guò had basic training in classical guitar playing, and could follow the master of Segovia for advanced learning. Under Xiao Qi's construction, Ye Zi specially spent nearly a month to go through the basic training part of classical guitar playing from scratch again.

Now, Ye Zi himself feels that he has a very solid foundation in performance, and he can do it at any time with any fingering, any chord, any musical phrase, dynamics, and speed, and it is extremely accurate, which fully meets the requirements of the score.

The ability to read the score and sight-reading has made great progress, and any score in his hand, Ye Zi can immediately watch the score and play it, and can ensure that he has a certain level of interpretation of the work.

Eyes to hands to hearts, three to one.

Ye Zi now has the confidence to say that the master has thoroughly mastered the fundamentals of classical guitar performance.

This is also the reason why the system determines that Ye Zitong guò can learn to play at an advanced level. The system will never go wrong in this regard, if Ye Zi does not meet the standard, crying and shouting and begging will not be of any use, it is impossible for him to see Master Segovia who is sitting opposite at the moment.

Master, what is the intention?

No matter what the master's intentions were, Ye Zi couldn't care about it now. The master did not let Ye Zi demonstrate on his own, but issued instructions one by one.

"Four or four beats, mid-board, chord melody custom, dynamics mf. I play it by strings and begin. ”

Ye Zi immediately concentrated and calmed down, and the sound of the guitar sounded in his hand. This requirement of the master is not very high, and the medium speed is slightly faster. Medium strength, such a request is easy for Ye Zi.

"The speed is small and wide, and the transition is a small bar." After four or five bars, the master gave the order again.

The speed of the small wide board is generally about 60, which is much lower than the speed of about 88 in the middle board. Just a few bars of transition will slow you down. This has a bit of difficulty, but for Ye Zi, this is still just a piece of cake.

According to the master's request, Ye Zi's hand immediately changed.

"The tempo remains the same, the string method becomes the hook string method, and the dynamics increase to two F's." After four or five bars, the master gave another order.

Ye Zi vomited blood slightly in his heart, this request was a bit unreasonable.

In classical guitar playing, the string method is used to produce a sound with a sense of dynamics, while the hook string method is relatively light and agile, and is generally used to play fast scales. Or smooth melodies and so on. But if you play it with a hook, you will be a little less dynamic.

Playing the strong dynamics of the two F's with strings is a normal choice. But the master's request was twisted, and he asked Ye Zi to play this kind of strong strength with a light hook string technique.

At this time, it can be seen that Ye Zi's solid Cheng dù on the basis of classical guitar performance has come.

Ye Zi fully fulfilled the requirements of the master, and his fingering was light and agile while playing with full strength.

Behind the glasses, the master's eyes showed a look of satisfaction for the first time, but in a flash, another command was given.

"The speed is increased to Allegro, maintaining the strength of two F's. Hook string articulation. ”

The difficulty has increased again, but the awkward feeling has not disappeared. Generally speaking, a tempo like Allegro reaches a speed of one hundred and thirty close to the speed of electronic dance music, and it should be a little weaker. Now the requirements of the masters. However, Ye Zi is required to use the speed of electronic dance music to play a strong guitar under light fingering.

Hard, very hard.

But Ye Zi still did it.

Without a strong playing skill, such a requirement is impossible to achieve. The classical guitar is in Ye Zi's hand, flowing with a stormy sound torrent.

Master, more satisfied.

"The speed is the same. The dynamics are reduced to two P's, and the articulation is changed to a string articulation, with a bar transition. ”

Hearing such a request, Ye Zi almost vomited blood.

This section is played like a storm, and after a few bars, it will turn into a murmur like a breeze and rain. That's not all, the speed has to be kept at 13 sharp, and the fingering has to be changed to an awkward string articulation.

This damn old man, this is deliberately making things difficult!

The lightning-fast transition between movement, strength, lightness and clumsiness (one hundred and thirteen speeds, in the blink of an eye) is to play with the dead!

Depend on!

Isn't it just screwed? I'll let you see what kind of Cheng dù my master's performance foundation has become!

Ye Zi had no distractions, and his spirit was completely concentrated. The guitar came to life in his hands, if it was to go east, never to west, and if it sounded, it would never be quiet.

The Master's Request?

Come on, look at me.

The guitar is extremely obedient and produces the kind of sound that is not clumsy, extremely fast, but faint like fireflies.

Exactly the kind that the master asked.

The master nodded slightly for the first time.

"The requirements remain the same, and the expression term amoroso is added, which can be considered a little in a few bars."

Ye Zi really wants to vomit three liters of blood! This is another awkward request.

Amoroso is a commonly used expression term that means "gentle". It's not a big deal, just make it out with proper playing.

But the current situation is: one hundred and three sharp plate speeds, two P's weak dynamics, clumsy string articulation. Together, these are already difficult to achieve. The master added an expression term like "gentle", which is really fatal!

Expression terms such as "gentle" and "solemn" are basically difficult to play at speeds above a hundred. Now the master asked Ye Zi to use the speed of one hundred and three to express such an expression as "gentle"?

Well, although he had never seen or heard of such an outrageous request on any sheet of music, Ye Zi still tried to realize this possibility.

Although the master said that "the requirements are not the same", in fact, during the performance, the speed, dynamics, and playing method can be changed in a small way.

For example, the velocity requirement is two P's. But an increase from two P's to one P, or a drop to three P's, as long as the magnitude is not large, is acceptable. If the center line of the strength is in the state of two Ps, then there is no problem at all.

In terms of strength requirements, two P's to express "gentle" such feelings xù, a little weaker but acceptable. Ye Zi raised the strength to the middle of two P's and one P, keeping the two P's dominant.

The velocity no longer remains constant, but between one hundred and twenty-five and one hundred and thirty, with a slight variation depending on the situation.

Ye Zi didn't have a good way to fingering, he could only lean on the strings less tightly and move a little away from the strings to increase the possibility of changes when playing. After the speed came up, Ye Zi had already leaned slightly in this direction in terms of fingering, but now he just made it a little more prominent.

After the playing technique of the right hand was determined, Ye Zi continued to think of a way on the left hand.

"Gentleness" is a kind of emotional requirement, and it is certainly not possible to completely achieve it by changing the fingering technique of the right hand alone, and it requires the chords and melodies of the left hand to cooperate.

In order to match the speed of one hundred and three, what Ye Zi played just now basically cannot be called a melody, but should be a fast ascending and descending scale, which is also a matter of no way, improvisation is not so easy. But now to express the love of xiàn "gentle", it is definitely not enough to just go up and down the scale.

So, what kind of melody is fast and gentle? Such a request itself has a bit of self-contradiction in it, and for a while, Ye Zi really didn't know the direction.

Without pause, Ye Zi's brain was running rapidly. (To be continued.) )
