Chapter 384: Rehearsal Finished
Ye Zi didn't know this very well, but when he was playing just now, such a feeling occasionally appeared. At that time, he thought that it was because the cooperation between the two sides was not tacit enough, which caused this uncomfortable feeling. But now it seems that Chen Xieyang has a different opinion on this.
Chen Xieyang continued.
"It's like the first theme of the third movement, which is the musical image of the storm. If you're playing solo, you're handling it very well, and the timbre, rhythm, speed, and image are all very appropriate. But have you noticed that when our orchestra plays this section, it is not as 'heavy' and 'ruthless' as your guitar watch? ”
"Let's use an analogy. Your guitar just now was playing that kind of overwhelming storm, kind of like a tornado. And the orchestra plays the kind of storms that are often encountered in the summer. ”
"The 'stormy' musical image that seems to fit the score in both renditions is actually very different. This difference is heard in the ears of the audience, and it gives them the feeling that it is a little incongruous. ”
Chen Xieyang gave an example, and Ye Zi immediately understood what he meant just now.
But......
"Teacher Chen, can't the orchestra move closer to me? I think this kind of performance that is more 'heavy' and more 'ruthless' is more in line with the image of the requirements of the score, and the difference between before and after is also a little wider. Ye Zi does not follow the crowd, he has his own opinions and understanding, and he will insist on his own opinions on such issues.
Chen Xieyang nodded: "It stands to reason that the orchestra can follow you and interpret this piece according to your understanding of the music." This should be agreed upon by the soloist and the conductor before each rehearsal of a new work. But Ye Zi, you have to know one thing, no matter how good and famous any orchestra is, it is flawed, and its performance style will be relatively fixed. ”
"For example, the Wien Philharmonic Orchestra plays works by German-Austrian composers, which are unbeatable classics, but to have them play works by Russian composers is relatively lacking."
Chen Xieyang explained patiently.
"The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for example, has one of the best brass parts in the world. But the string parts are a little weaker. ”
"Every orchestra has its own characteristics, and so do we. After these two rehearsals, you should have noticed that the string ensemble of the Symphony is quite outstanding and has the first-class level in Asia. It's not bad in the world. However, wind music and percussion are relatively weak, and they are not the best in China, and they can't be mentioned outside. ”
"From this point, you can draw a conclusion that the performance of emotionally delicate works will be more advantageous, but the interpretation of majestic works will suffer a little."
"Take this Mallorca Concerto, for example. Such a soft style work is very suitable for interpretation by Shen Jiao. But the performance you just played was more tough in terms of processing, and it was a bit out of touch with the orchestra's performance. ”
"Therefore, if you want to make the whole piece more complete and the interpretation more perfect, Ye Zi, when you play, you have to lean on the handling of the orchestra."
"In other words, when playing a concerto, you must have a personal characteristic, but it should not be too obvious and prominent."
Chen Xieyang came to the final conclusion.
Ye Zi frowned. Obviously, Chen Xieyang's theory did not completely convince Ye Zi.
"Teacher Chen, I know what you said, and I can understand it, but ......"
"Can't figure it out, huh?" Chen Xieyang smiled: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being." When you play, you try to go a little softer, so that you can fit in perfectly with the orchestra. ”
"This is what I ask of you. Before you have developed your own true playing style and learned to use your own playing style to lead the whole orchestra, you have to do what I ask you to do first. ”
Chen Xieyang's tone was gentle, but the meaning of his words was very firm and could not be refuted.
"Okay, Mr. Chen. I'll lean on the orchestra's handling as you ask, but...... Mr. Chen, I ask for your pardon, and I will reserve my opinion. ”
Ye Zi will obey Chen Xieyang's request, but he will also insist on his own opinion.
Chen Xieyang smiled.
He smiled very happily.
A long puff of smoke. Chen Xieyang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good!" Ye Zi, if I completely change my mind as soon as I say it, then I will be very disappointed, your current attitude is exactly what I want to see. ”
"But for now, you have to do what I ask. Wait a few years. As you work with the orchestra more times and the repertoire you work with, there are some things that you will gradually figure out. ”
"The two sentences that Pan Zhe told you just now are really very good, and they are completely universal here. What is Solo? In terms of performance, it should be 'personal style first, supplemented by general style'. When the concerto is played, it's the other way around. ”
"Ye Zi, you haven't formed your own unique style of performance yet, I hope you play more music of different styles, and don't frame yourself to death all at once. Classical music is very rich in content, and it takes a lot of effort to achieve something. ”
"Ye Zi, work hard!"
patted Ye Zi on the shoulder, and Chen Xieyang quietly left.
Ye Zi was still standing in place, thinking quietly alone. The afternoon sun shone on him, covering him with a golden coat.
Ye Zi, who was standing there, frowned slightly, his eyes stared into the distance, motionless like a sculpture.
……
The rehearsals for the day were held four times in the afternoon and two more times after dinner. These six times are all joint exercises.
A day later, Ye Zi had a good idea of how to play this piece. Even if he performs on stage tomorrow, Ye Zi will not have the slightest panic in his heart.
Ye Zi's outstanding performance ability and rapid progress have completely convinced the proud players of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra, and now the tacit understanding between the two sides has reached a certain level after six joint exercises on the first day. It's not possible to play a classic for the time being, but it's no problem to go on stage and perform it officially.
Chen Xieyang was very pleased to see this.
However, after a whole day of joint practice, although Ye Zi has tried his best to do what Chen Xieyang asked, the personal characteristics of his performance are still slightly more prominent than those of the orchestra. Chen Xieyang's handling of this is to completely uninterfere and let him play freely, just use rehearsals over and over again to make the two sides get along.
After returning home, Ye Zi asked Master Segovia for advice, but the master did not give him a specific answer. Segovia, like Chen Xieyang, just asked him to practice more and practice more, practice non-stop, and simultaneously opened the tutorial on orchestra concerto and began to train Ye Zi's concerto ability.
This night, Ye Zi had a very "painful time". Under the master's sharp reprimand, it took him a whole night to finally fulfill Segovia's request. But tomorrow night, the new mission will continue.
On Tuesday afternoon, Ye Zi came to the rehearsal hall again and rehearsed with the orchestra for three hours. In this rehearsal, Chen Xieyang began to pause during the performance, paying close attention to every detail that needed attention, and replacing the ensemble practice of the whole piece with partial rehearsals again and again.
In such detailed rehearsals, Ye Zi's comprehension ability once again convinced the pride of these days of Shen Jiao, and he was the first to do all the requirements put forward by Chen Xieyang, including Pan Zhe.
This kind of ability is really a bit "scary"!
Chen Xieyang was secretly happy to laugh, and specially called Sun Yun to talk about it.
That night, Ye Zi continued to train in the "painful" hellish style of tutorial amid the roar of Master Segovia.
At 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the Mallorca Concerto was once again put into ensemble mode after a detailed rehearsal yesterday afternoon.
Half an hour later, Ye Zi still ended the performance with a light overtone. However, compared with the performance the day before yesterday, this overtone seems to have a touch of moistness while maintaining its own light and agile characteristics. It may sound a little hazy, not as dazzling as the day before yesterday, but when you taste it, you feel that this is the kind of performance that is really just right.
Ye Zi slowly opened his eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of a bow tapping on the strings came from behind him, and more of this sound was added. This is the way the orchestra members use percussion instruments to express their love and support for Ye Zi's performance just now.
"Well done! Very well done! Ye Zi, what I want is such an effect. ”
"You've found it!"
With a gentle applause, Chen Xieyang's voice reached Ye Zi's ears. Applause then resounded in every corner of the rehearsal hall. (To be continued.) )
