Chapter 583: The Super Difficulty of the Third Movement
on stage.
The timpani was beaten densely, with a depressing atmosphere, and every sound struck the hearts of every audience, and some changes were coming. The strings play the strings in a short but tense movement and the timpani work closely together, and the waves begin to swell on the calm and serene sea. The woodwinds quietly joined the strings, and it began to get dark.
The flute, with the howl of the wind, flashes across the sea created by the strings, and the bass trombone approaches from afar with heavy footsteps.
A qiē is a sign that a storm is coming!
The sound of the guitar suddenly played in the flute, urgent but not hasty, Haiyan bravely flew to the surging waves, looking for a way to break through in the turbulent waves.
The timpani struck more intensively, and the heavy footsteps of the bass trombone drew closer and closer, and thick dark clouds covered the entire sky. The flute gradually moved towards the treble position, and the speed of shuttling back and forth became faster and faster, and its timbre became more and more poignant. At the same time, the strings and woodwinds play with large dissonant intervals, making the whole atmosphere of the piece more solemn and tense.
The sound of the guitar has been tightly blocked by a large group of music. Occasionally, a guitar or two burst out of the strings, and the flute immediately "blows" it back; Sometimes the guitar has bypassed the woodwinds, and the strings pull it into the abyss again.
The bass trombone is getting closer and heavier, and the tenor trombone and French horn are joining it, and the encirclement is gradually closing little by little. There is no doubt that if the guitar does not stand out from the encirclement, what awaits it will be overturned and ruined!
The brave petrel is about to die in the deep sea in a storm!
Under the stage.
The audience all looked solemn, staring intently at Ye Zi and the orchestra on the stage. Thanks to Valentine's easy-to-understand musical vocabulary and the excellent performances of the 96 musicians in the Shen Jiao, all the audience understood what the music was intended to portray, and everyone seemed to recall the famous article they had studied when they were in school.
On the vast sea, the wind swept up the dark clouds, and between the dark clouds and the sea, the petrel flew proudly like a black lightning! (PS: Excerpt from the first paragraph of the secondary school textbook "Haiyan")
What a god-like depiction!
The mournful playing of a few flutes vividly depicts the raging wind; The large dissonant intervals of the strings and woodwinds, what is it not the dark sea where the waves are rolling? The clouds were approaching and pressing lower and lower, and the footsteps of the bass trombone were already clear to every audience member.
Could it be that Valentine, the composer of country F, also studied this article?
As soon as this thought flashed, all the audience became worried about the fate of Haiyan, which the guitar represents.
on stage.
Ye Zi pursed his lips, his waist straightened, his eyes focused on a focal point, and he looked straight ahead. Although this movement is not the most standard classical guitar posture, his playing is not affected at all.
The changes in the hand shape and fingering of Ye Zi's left hand do not seem to be fast, but the difficult obstacles set up by Valentine for the virtuoso in the third movement seem to be completely absent in his hands, and every single note, every chord, and every change cannot make him feel the slightest difficulty. He doesn't need to omit a few less important notes to make it easier for his left hand to press the fret, and he doesn't need to simplify some of the left-hand chord fingering to make the right hand play more fluid. Any difficulty is played so naturally in his hands, as if it is not difficult to play, but if others try to play, then he will know that this difficulty is much more difficult than he imagined.
Sixth, seventh, or even tenth-fret or more? No problem.
Big horizontal press to connect big horizontal press? No problem either.
Big horizontal press to connect big horizontal press and add independent fingers to change the press product? Hey, hey, a little cast.
A continuous rush of 32nd notes? A super-fast 64th note rush? It's a little interesting, so let's let the horses come!
Compared with his left hand, Ye Zi's right hand is not inferior at all.
The accuracy of the striking, without any problems.
The force of the string is controlled, and the weight is free.
The timbre of the striking changes as you like.
Cooperate with the left hand, tacit understanding in the heart.
The left and right hands are intertwined, and Ye Zi's hands can easily and completely control all the difficult playing techniques in the third movement.
Valentine's Mallorca Concerto is well-known in the Western classical music scene, in addition to the beautiful melody and the precise and complete structure of the composition, one of the reasons is the extremely difficult classical guitar playing technique in the third movement. In addition to the finger turns, Valentine uses almost all the difficult techniques that the classical guitar can perform in the third movement. "It's daunting, it's complicated, it's a tough challenge." This is the premiere of the Mallorca Concerto and the world-renowned classical guitarist John Concerto. Williams' assessment of the difficulty technique of the third movement.
To be able to play this "Mallorca Concerto" is already a masterpiece for a classical guitarist to play an instrument like a classical guitar, and if he can perfectly master the super difficulty of the third movement, then the level of this virtuoso is world-class.
This is something that is recognized in the Western classical music world.
Ye Zi's current performance has fully reached such a level, even if it is only his first public concert performance. The completion of the third movement of the Mallorca Concerto is enough to show that there are no more problems that can bother him when it comes to playing the classical guitar.
Under the stage.
The audience was silent, and everyone almost held their breath, staring at the young figure on the stage without blinking, staring at his hands, on his face, on his every movement, on every expression. The audience may not know how difficult the performance skills they are seeing now, but just from the movements of Ye Zi's hands and his expressions, they can know that Ye Zi has put a lot of effort into this performance.
What's more, the dramatic musical conflict is unfolding completely between Ye Zi's hands and the hands of the Shenjiao performers. Whether it is the tense and urgent music full of pressure and shocking, or Ye Zi's hands waving like a phantom, it makes all the audience present feel that tonight is worth the trip.
Valentine closed his eyes slightly, he was already completely intoxicated by Ye Zi's performance. The Mallorca Concerto is his work, and he knows every little thing very well. In his ears, Ye Zi was the first virtuoso to perfectly reproduce the difficult technique of the third movement, and he was so natural and unreluctant. Williams couldn't beat him. This kind of near-perfect control of the instrument in his hand has only been seen and heard by Valentine in some masters or near-master level players before.
Although Ye Zi's handling of the third movement is still a little immature, not as old and spicy as Williams's performance, this is something that can be made up for with Ye Zi's growth. Ye Zi has never been to Spain, let alone Mallorca, just by virtue of the introduction in the book and his own imagination, Ye Zi can play this "Mallorca Concerto" to such a distance, the word genius is no longer enough to describe his ability.
Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to use a genius among geniuses.
If Ye Zi can one day come to the National Conservatory of Music for a period of study and then travel to Spain, then what kind of course can he play this "Mallorca Concerto"?
Valentine's heart was full of interest in this.
But now, he was reluctant to think about anything else, and the music continued.
on stage.
The hideous face of the bass trombone has completely revealed its original form, and the dense drum beat is even tighter and denser in the hearts of all the audience. Suddenly, the double-sided cymbals slammed into each other with a sharp and piercing sound, like a dazzling lightning bolt piercing the dense dark clouds. The timpani began to roll, and the big drum rumbled, and after the lightning, the thunder followed the rain and the lightning.
The dissonance of the strings intensified, and the flute began to whimper.
The sound of the guitar in the lightning and thunder seemed to be drowned in the endless waves of the sea in the next moment, but after the rolling thunder and the lightning that pierced the sky, it reappeared between heaven and earth. It hovers in the valley of waves and waves, it flutters its wings in the whimpering wind, it strikes swiftly towards the sky in the raging wind and rain!
Ye Zi's left hand pressed the guitar strings tightly and moved slowly, and his right hand was close to the bottom of the strings and tapped the strings with his fingernails, and the guitar made a cracking sound, just like the petrel in a storm chirping against the wind and waves.
Ye Zi has completely forgotten all the qiē in the world, and even the guitar in his hand has been forgotten by him. His eyes didn't look at his hands at all, his teeth clenched, his eyes widened, and beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down like rain. Wet his hair, wet his eyes, wet his eyelashes, drip down his chin to his sleeves, down his guitar.
The cymbals struck together again, and at the same time, the timpani and the big drum struck the heaviest note at the same time, and the whole orchestra came to a standstill, except for the flute, which was still sobbing almost broken.
For the first time, the sound of the guitar was completely lost.
The hearts of every audience member were as if they were being crushed by lead, so heavy that they stopped breathing for a while.
Softly, in the aftermath of drums and flutes, a faint sound was heard. Ye Zi held the guitar in his arms, like holding the most precious treasure, and his hands were extremely gentle.
The strings slowly followed, the horn let the golden sunlight shine on the sea again, and a flute turned into a bird again and flew over.
The guitar began to sound and play with the flute bird again. Suddenly, the guitar sound took a turn and slowly climbed towards the high register. As you climb higher and higher, the sound becomes softer and softer, until it truly disappears without a trace.
After the storm, the proud petrel flew towards the higher blue sky. (To be continued.) )
