(Today there are 4 more collections, for a total of 113.) Well, this number is really bad! Hopefully it will get better and better in the future! οΌ
(However, the number of member clicks has increased a lot, hehe, happy in the γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» no matter what, the more treble I hope is as much as possible!) οΌ
(There are still not many manuscripts in reserve.) Does anyone know what input method is the fastest? I use pinyin now, and sometimes I can't find the word I want, and I have to turn several pages to find it. Hand speed is not fast, and I am a more serious character, often write and delete, delete and write, alas, this speed, can't be fast at all! οΌ

"First, in fact, I have already mentioned earlier, when interlude, some connections I think are not natural."
Liu Qi frowned and wanted to refute, but Ye Zi picked up the guitar and played it casually. When Liu Qi heard it, it was an interlude that he had just played. Ye Zi's performance was almost no different from himself, which made Liu Qi's heart sink.
"Like the one I just paroded."
This section has a total of eight measures, and the fourth and fifth measures are consecutive jumps. This, of course, greatly increases the difficulty, makes the piece more difficult and technical. β
Putting down the guitar, Ye Zi asked, "But there is one thing Liu Qi that you have ever thought about?" β
"In the first few measures, although it is a rapid advance of sixteenth notes, the melody line is still very clear. And from the fourth measure onwards, the melody is shattered, and the march of the melody is not audible at all. β
"You can think back and see if the situation I mentioned is real."
ββββββββββ
"I don't seem to feel anything, I just feel so fast." A boy whispered to his classmates.
"Me too. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that I didn't hear any melody, it's just fast, Ye Zi seems to be quite reasonable. A certain girl was also quietly communicating.
There was a soft hum from the crowd.
Liu Qi crossed his arms and thought for a while, nodded and said, "This situation is indeed there, even if you are reasonable, please continue." β
"Okay." Ye Zi nodded: "This is not a big mistake, it can only be regarded as a small flaw, and I only deducted 2 points from you." β
"As I said just now, creation needs to be encouraged rather than criticized."
"The second question you just played, I think it's much stricter than the first one. I think Liu Qi's large section of flaunting skills during the interlude is very unreasonable. β
"Ye Zi, just now you were still saying that creation needs to be encouraged, and now you immediately deny my creation. Excuse me, which one is your real face? β
Liu Qi got angry and immediately retorted.
In his heart, he was actually very proud of the show-off arrangement of this interlude, where could Ye Zi deny it like this.
There were also those in the crowd who were questioning this.
"These two points are not contradictory." Ye Zi was confident and said slowly: "It is true to encourage creation, but this does not mean that all creations must be good and appropriate. β
"Liu Qi, you should be able to distinguish this clearly, right?"
Liu Qi was still not angry: "The truth is so. However, I don't think this interlude is inappropriate. β
"I'm not denying you this interlude." Ye Zi shook his head and said, "I just think that it is not the most appropriate for you to add too many show-off skills to the interlude." β
Instead of laughing angrily, Liu Qi felt that he seemed to have grasped the handle in Ye Zi's words: "You were the one who said that the interlude was good just now, and now it is you who say that the interlude is not good." β
"Then I'm going to ask, what do you mean by classmate Ye Zi?"
"This is a simple piece of music, if you don't add skill in the interlude, then what do you want me to add?"
Liu Qi's rhetorical question immediately caused a commotion from everyone. Although everyone doesn't know music very well and understands classical guitar, logically speaking, Liu Qi's point of view is completely reasonable. The people in the picture system led by Zhang Shaojie are even more aggressive, obviously with an attitude of rejuvenating the teacher and asking for guilt.
Ye Zi still looked quiet and composed, and said slowly: "So, I just said that this point is something that needs to be discussed. β
"Liu Qi, let me ask you first, what kind of song do you think this "Romance of Love" is?"
"A very simple piece of music, in the format of A-B-A. Because it's too simple, I added an intro and interlude to enrich the piece. β
"That's right, but what about its feelings?"
"Delicate and tactful, with a little sadness."
"Very well, that's exactly what I'm saying."
Ye Zi still spoke at an unhurried pace: "The feeling of this piece of music is colorful, I think it can be completely summed up in two words: poignant." And because you have added too many show-off skills, you also have a very strong sense of color, that is, passionate and enthusiastic. β
"You can think about it again."
Liu Qi realized: "You mean γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?"
"That's right! That's exactly what I meant! Ye Zi immediately picked it up: "Take out your interlude alone, it is a very beautiful display of skills." Aside from the fact that the melody line is a bit broken, I don't have much to fault with other aspects. β
"But in this piece, the color conflict before and after is too stark, and the two do not complement each other but contradict each other."
Ye Zi's tone was very affirmative. "I'm afraid this is the opposite of what you had in mind."
"If 'Romance of Love' is a large-scale piece of music like 'Variations on the Theme of the Magic Flute', then we can dilute this contrast with a series of articulations, transitions, and transformations, so as to form a fuller musical image."
"But this piece is as simple as you said, each section is only 16 bars, and the whole piece is played according to the score for just over two minutes. It is extremely difficult to accomplish such a huge color transition and transformation in just a few bars. β
"Almost impossible!"
"Liu Qi, your performance just now obviously didn't do this, and the conflict between the interlude and the music itself seems to be extremely dissonant, which is a hard injury!"
ββββββββββ
"Humph! Is what you say what you say? Why don't I feel it? Zhang Shaojie took the lead in picking thorns.
"Yes, yes! I don't feel anything either! The picture is that everyone followed and coaxed.
Ye Zi didn't pay attention to Zhang Shaojie and them at all, just quietly watched Liu Qi.
Liu Qi's face no longer had the resentment just now, and it was solemn. After all, he is a person with extremely high musical literacy, and he completely understands what Ye Zi means.
"Well, you're right, but I reserve my opinion." After thinking for a long time, Liu Qi sighed: "Classmate Ye Zi, didn't you say that there is a third point?" Go ahead. If it's just these two points, I'm afraid I won't be able to deduct 20 points, right? β
"What? Don't listen to him, Liu Qi, he's just talking nonsense! Zhang Shaojie jumped out again.
βCAOοΌ Everyone admits it, take care of your feathers! Of course, the students in the Chinese department supported Ye Zi, and immediately there were people who opposed each other.
Liu Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What Ye Zi said has a certain truth. When I was arranging the music, I really didn't consider this problem of color contrast, and it was a bit inconsistent before and after. β
"But I still insist that there is nothing wrong with my adaptation itself."
Ye Zi gave a thumbs up again.
"That's right! I also approve of your adaptation. Your prelude is very good, the newly written melody is very beautiful, and the color of the love xΓΉ is quite in tune with the main theme behind it. This prelude is a very successful creation. β
"Thank you." Liu Qi smiled bitterly.
"Good is good!" Ye Zi responded: "Then I'll continue?" β
Liu Qi nodded, his expression became very solemn, ready to parry Ye Zi's questioning at any time.
Now he has fully understood that Ye Zi is definitely the person who has the goods in his stomach, and his original expectation is too far away.
Let's not talk about Ye Zi's performance level, at least in terms of musical literacy and knowledge of classical guitar playing, he will never be inferior to himself. This third place that can make Ye Zi deduct a lot of points is probably the place where he didn't think about it in advance.
ββββββββββ
"The third thing I want to discuss with Liu Qi is also the most missing part of Liu Qi's performance, which is the soul of the performance." Ye Zi continued his commentary.
Liu Qi was just about to refute, but Ye Zi continued without stopping: "Liu Qi's performance is very complete, and if you compare it with the score, it can be said that there are no shortcomings. But," speaking of this, Ye Zi accentuated his tone: "The performance is composed of two words, and it is performed first and then played!" β
After a little relaxation, Ye Zi continued: "What is performance? In my opinion, acting is to embody the emotions and thoughts that the composer wants to express when composing; And playing is the way of acting, that is, using various methods such as blowing, playing, playing, and percussion, through the instrument in GuΓ²'s hand to restore the music on the score. β
The crowd was extremely quiet, only Ye Zi's voice continued to sound.
"Playing is the carrier of performance. And acting is the soul of playing. The combination of the two is the complete and true performance. β
Ye Zi made a fist clenching motion.
"Our Chinese characters are really broad and profound! The word play has the same meaning as the English word play, but it is more complete and accurate. β
"I think Liu Qi is quite perfect in terms of performance, but it is greatly inferior in terms of acting, and it can even be said that Liu Qi has not considered this problem at all."
"So, this is where I deduct the most points for Liu Qi's performance just now."
Liu Qi clasped his hands and thought silently. It could be seen from his gloomy face that he would never agree with Ye Zi's point of view.
In the crowd, everyone whispered again.
"What did Ye Zi say just now, do you understand?"
"Nope."
"I didn't understand either, but it sounds reasonable."
"Yes, yes! Sounds pretty awesome! This Ye Zi knows a lot! Do you think Liu Qi really didn't play very well just now? β
"Whew! He'll just blow it up there, don't believe him. What is the use of acting and playing, no matter how good this set is? The two hits that Liu Qi played just now are really good! If he has the ability, he will also play one, let me hear if it is as good as he said himself! β
"What are you anxious about, people were going to play it, aren't you still judging, it's Ye Zi's turn later."
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Ye Zi, I can't accept what you just said." Liu Qi's face is not very good-looking.
Ye Zi shrugged slightly: "It's okay, I can understand." At the beginning, I said that I was discussing with you, this is just my personal opinion, you don't have to take it too seriously. β
"In that case, why don't you ask Ye Zi to give me a demonstration."
Liu Qi suddenly raised his voice.
"Students, everyone has heard the evaluation that Ye Zi gave me just now. I fully accept the first two points, but I cannot accept the last point. β
Liu Qi shook his head and continued: "I admit that there is some truth in Ye Zi's statement, but I can't accept that so many of my points will be deducted just because of this reason. Unlessγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Glancing at Ye Zi quickly, Liu Qi sneered in his heart: "Unless Ye Zi can do this!" So next, let's ask Ye Zi to play for us. Let's see if Ye Zi can achieve what he said in his performance. β
"When the time comes, if everyone thinks that he has really done this, then I, Liu Qi, will be convinced and willing to admit defeat!"
After speaking, Liu Qi stepped back with a gloomy face, making room for Ye Zi.
