Chapter 144: Bamboo Flute, everyone
Standing outside the door of Ma Huaiyuan's house, Liu Yufan was just about to knock on the door, and suddenly, a bold and desolate flute sounded, which made his heart feel cold, and the hand that had just been raised in the air was slowly put down.
Rough and unrestrained, at first glance, it sounds like a northwest wind blowing on the Loess Plateau, and like red sorghum under the scorching voice, a good Shaanxi bowl and bowl, a good song "Qinchuan Expression"!
The flute gradually becomes softer, the delicate places are like smoke, and they are like the tenderness of the iron man, arousing a hundred turns of tenderness!
Liu Yufan stood quietly outside the door, listening to this incomparably familiar flute music, and the desolate and magnificent picture of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan seemed to appear in front of him!
Until the end of the song, Liu Yufan was still immersed in that strong sense of picture and couldn't extricate himself!
Well blown!
Liu Yufan secretly praised in his heart, this song "Qin Chuan Expression" is too authentic, and it sounds flawless to Liu Yufan, absolutely original. Even if there is no accompaniment, he is fascinated by it!
Is this what Mr. Ma bragged? He had taught himself this tune, but it didn't sound like it. There are a lot of details that he handles completely differently, and it sounds very tasteful, more than one level stronger than him!
Could it be someone else? Liu Yufan thought suspiciously.
At this moment, the flute sounded, Liu Yufan took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly reached out and knocked on the door.
After a while, there was a sound of a handle turning through the security door. As the door opened, a spirited Ma Huaiyuan was revealed behind the door, holding a flute in his hand.
Seeing Liu Yufan, Ma Huaiyuan showed a happy smile on his face, and said loudly: "Yufan, have you finished taking class at Teacher Mo's?" ”
Liu Yufan smiled and nodded with Ma Huaiyuan, and then said as he entered the room: "Well, I just finished going to school, Teacher Ma, Teacher Mo said that I can practice alone." Liu Yufan said with some excitement.
"Oh? Lao Mo promised you to leave the school? Hehe, this is good news, it's rare. Come on, come on, Yu Fan, I have good news here. Ma Huaiyuan said, took Liu Yufan into his piano room, pointed to a person inside and said, "Look at it, who is this?" ”
In fact, there is no need for Ma Huaiyuan to say, Liu Yufan has already seen the middle-aged man standing in front of the piano. A thin figure, a slightly literate face, and a pair of square-framed glasses. Seeing that familiar face, Liu Yufan's whole person became a little excited!
"Ma~~ Teacher Madi?" In Liu Yufan's tone, there was a surprise that could not be concealed! How could he not be excited about the fact that the person he had seen on the cover of the textbook in his hand countless times was now standing in front of him alive?
Ma Di, that is the original "Qinchuan Charm" flute of everyone, Liu Yufan has always longed for it, I didn't expect to see a real person here today, under the huge surprise, Liu Yufan was so excited that he couldn't even speak coherently.
"Hello!" When Ma Di saw Liu Yufan, he was very calm, and nodded at him with a smile.
"Xiaodi, this is what I told you about Liu Yufan, my new student, the quality is very good. It's only been more than a year, and all my skills have been learned by him, and today you happen to be here, so I'll let him come over, and you can point him out. Ma Huaiyuan said, and smiled at Liu Yufan: "I don't need to introduce it." Hehe, you used to talk in my ear when you were fine, saying that you wanted to see Madi, but now you'll see you. In the past two days, he happened to be in Yanjing to participate in a performance, and Xiyin had no urgent matters, so he came to stay with me for a few days to spend the summer by the way. Ma Huaiyuan said happily. Don't look at Ma Di as a flute master, but he is his junior, in front of Ma Di, Ma Huaiyuan has no sense of restraint, and his gestures are very natural.
"Hello, Mr. Ma. I've always liked your flute music and always wanted to ask you for advice in person, so it's a pleasure to meet you today. Liu Yufan said sincerely. Ma Huaiyuan can be calm, he can't be calm, the one in front of him is a real master. Although in the flute world, the evaluation of him has always been good and bad, and there are all kinds of things, but in Liu Yufan's heart, Ma Di's flute skills are definitely top-notch!
"Hehe, you're welcome, let's learn together." Ma Di has no shelf, perhaps because Liu Yufan is a student of Ma Huaiyuan.
"Mr. Ma, I heard the song "Qin Chuan Shuhuai" outside the door just now, you blew it, it's so good!" Liu Yufan said with a look of adoration.
"Hehe, I played it, what, you like this tune?" Madi bowed slightly.
"I like it, I love it so much. It's just that I haven't been blowing well, and there are some details where I don't have that kind of taste, I don't know what's going on. Liu Yufan said with a frown.
"I'll listen to you blow a piece." Ma Di pointed to the flute bag next to him and motioned Liu Yufan to choose the flute himself.
"Okay! Then I'll be ugly. Liu Yufan said, and took out the E-key flute from Ma Huaiyuan's flute bag.
This is a single-section flute, and it is also Ma Huaiyuan's favorite flute. The words "Produced by Madi" are engraved on the tail of the flute, indicating the identity of this flute. All the flutes used by Ma Huaiyuan are of this grade, in the market, the price of such a flute is definitely more than 1,000 yuan, and what Ma Huaiyuan has in his hand is naturally not ordinary, it is also "supervised by Ma Di", because of the special relationship between the two of them, what Ma Di brought him is the best. From this point of view, these flutes belong to the kind that money can't buy.
"You kid, you'll be picky!" Ma Huaiyuan watched Liu Yufan pull out his favorite flute at once, knowing that he had been coveting this flute for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Hehe, blowing the tune of Teacher Ma, naturally you have to use the best flute to play it." Liu Yufan smiled unceremoniously, and then skillfully woke up and prepared to play.
The three fingers of the right hand pressed on the first, second and third holes were suddenly released, and the flute made a rough and bold sound under the impact of the strong air current, which was the song "Qin Chuan Expressing Huai"!
This is an eighth-grade piece of music, and at the same time, it is also the most well-known of Madi's flute songs, and many flute lovers like to practice. As a student of Ma Huaiyuan, it is naturally impossible for Liu Yufan not to practice this piece. Moreover, he is still very familiar with it, and he has mastered some of the advanced techniques such as kneading and circulating ventilation.
Ma Di sat quietly on the piano bench and listened to Liu Yufan's performance, and did not interrupt soundly. Ma Huaiyuan was also sitting on a chair not far away, listening to Liu Yufan's performance, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
If Liu Yufan has learned eighty percent of his flute skills, then in terms of this piece alone, Liu Yufan has learned ten percent. As early as when practicing this piece, Ma Huaiyuan found that Liu Yufan liked it very much, many details were buttoned again and again, and there was no ambiguity at all, among many tunes, Liu Yufan's mastery of this piece was the most solid.
At the end of the song, Ma Huaiyuan nodded lightly, with a look of approval in his eyes.
Liu Yufan looked at Ma Di a little nervously, the one in front of him, but the author of this piece can be said to be the most authoritative performer of this piece. It's really a bit stressful to play this tune in front of him.
Nodding slightly, Madi said seriously: "It sounds good overall, and it can be seen that you have put in a lot of effort." However, you said before that the taste was a little worse, so you are also aware of the problem, you can tell me, what do you think is not right? ”
In fact, after listening to Liu Yufan's performance, Ma Di already has a general understanding of his level. This piece was written by him himself, and no one knows the skills and characteristics of this piece better than him, although he only listened to Liu Yufan blow it once, but for the points he lacked, Ma Di already knew what he lacked. However, he had the intention to test this student's surname again, so he did not directly point out his shortcomings.
You know, it's not terrible to blow badly, it's terrible to know what is bad. If you have a good skill, you may not be able to become everyone, but if you have a good skill and have a good ear at the same time, the probability of becoming everyone is much higher.
Hearing Ma Di's words, Liu Yufan naturally knew that the other party was testing himself. Fortunately, this song has been blown countless times before, and those doubts have always been in my heart. When I heard Madi ask, I immediately said it.
"I don't think it's right to knead the sound here, listening to your performance, that sound always has a special feeling of muscle, especially the surname, and the effect of strength and weakness is also very good, but I blow it a little stiff."
"Well, it's nice that you realize that. The kneading is one of the most characteristic aspects of this piece, and to play it well, you first have to know what it imitates. This is based on the imitation of Banhu in the Qin opera, have you ever heard the sound of Banhu kneading the strings? Madi asked.
"I've never heard of banhu, but I've heard the kneading of the erhu." Liu Yufan replied honestly.
"Well, the two are about the same, except that the amplitude of this kneading string is a little bigger, and you have to pay attention to the emotions it expresses, and you also have to have a control over the breath, just like this." Ma Di said, turned around and took out the e-tuning flute he had just used from his flute bag, and demonstrated it to Liu Yufan.
A breath suddenly penetrated the flute, and the index finger and middle finger of the left hand opened and closed quickly at the top two holes at the same time, and a rhythmic kneading sound came out of the flute.
Liu Yufan looked at Ma Di's technique up close, his eyes did not blink, you know, such an opportunity is too rare. Moreover, in order to show him clearly, Madi also deliberately slowed down and almost gave him a decomposition action.
Looking at Ma Di's demonstration, Liu Yufan's eyes became brighter and brighter. He originally mastered this piece very well, and those places that couldn't be overcome were actually just a layer of window paper, but now under Madi's "original demonstration", it is naturally broken with a stab!
"See? That's it. Ma Di put down the flute, looked at Liu Yufan and said.
"Well, Mr. Ma, I'll try again." Liu Yufan picked up the flute a little eagerly and said, the moment he just watched Ma Di play, he knew what his problem was!
