Chapter 955: The Misunderstood "Moonlight"
The right wrist is gently raised, bringing up an elegant arc like a swan's neck.
The fingertips gently stayed on the key surface, but did not fall, but gently rose and fell under the drive of the wrist, as if something was brewing. Between the slight ups and downs, there is a unique breath-like rhythm and rhythm.
The back is straight and loose, clean and crisp, elegant and calm.
The eyes, clear and focused, at this moment, as if there were only one person and one piano, and all other external objects lost their luster.
In the next second, the fingertips fell vertically to the keys without warning, and gently sent the keys to the bottom, forming an artistic vertical angle with the keys!
An ethereal and clear piano sound, as if with a crystal-like luster, sounded instantly!
Ten fingers, which seemed to be asleep in the last second, suddenly looked like ten awakened elves, laughing happily and dancing on the keys!
An elegant and bright piano sound filled the entire classroom in an instant!
The sound of this piano seems to have supreme magic, and it makes people's souls instantly lightened!
Chu Yang's arms fluttered up and down on the keys freehand, and between the movements, there was an elegant and delicate atmosphere everywhere, revealing the aristocratic temperament of Bach's works!
If in the last song "Hunting", Chu Yang used extreme movement to show extreme quietness, then at this moment, this masterful polyphonic work of Ba ≮ ∮ He has become a delicate pearl necklace under Chu Yang's hands, showing everyone who hears it what "elegance" is.
Bach's works always carry a sense of aristocratic and royal elegance and refinement, which is also the spiritual quality of his works. It is not easy to grasp this well, and it requires precise control and grasp of the force and touch keys. Obviously, Chu Yang showed his incomparably strong strength at this point!
Every time you touch a key. No matter how big the span is, at the moment when the fingertip touches the key, it is definitely a crisp and decisive vertical angle, and when viewed from the side, the angle is simply impeccable and full of a sense of art!
In the position of Wu Yingdi. You can see the side of Chu Yang's hand most clearly, looking at the standard textbook-like touch keys, Rao is a well-informed piano educator, and at this moment, he can't help but let out a heartfelt sigh! Such skills, such skills, are really rare in the world!
What is even more rare is that this young man actually grasps the spiritual qualities of Bach's works so well! Looking at the movements he played at the moment, he looked like a real nobleman. Every gesture exudes an elegant and delicate atmosphere, and even every small movement of the keys is full of calmness, which is the most rare for a pianist.
The technique is not difficult, as long as there is a certain talent, through the acquired training of guò science, everyone can master most of the piano skills. The difficulty is to express the connotation of the work, in a mysterious sentence. It's to touch the soul of the composer!
Obviously, the Bach polyphony played by Chu Yang at this moment has almost done this perfectly.
The sound of the piano, full of delicate and dexterous rhythm, jumps in the air, and when you close your eyes, you can feel the mellow luster emanating from each note. That kind of fullness, that kind of crispness, that kind of lightness, is simply a great spiritual enjoyment!
Anyone who appreciates the art of piano knows that listening to works by Bach and Mozart is the most enjoyable thing to hear. Because what they all have in common is delicate dexterity, which can make your mind activate and beat unconsciously. Many people let their unborn babies listen to music, and most of the works they choose are also of this type, and the reason is the same.
At this moment, listening to Chu Yang's performance of this Bach, the seven teachers all closed their eyes with enjoyment and sighed with satisfaction from time to time! Listening to this kind of music is simply a kind of spiritual deep spa, the ultimate enjoyment!
Twelve minutes of performance must be dull in other words, and in the general exam, I am afraid that when the students play a third of the way or even less, the instructor will start to stop. Because at this time, it is basically possible to see the student's mastery of this work.
But when Chu Yang played this Bach polyphony, none of the teachers on the scene stopped it, not because they felt the need to listen more to test Chu Yang's mastery of Bach's works, but because they were really fascinated by this kind of music, so much so that they forgot to stop at all!
Even when Chu Yang dropped the last note and had already gotten up and left the piano, these people were still immersed in that exquisite and elegant atmosphere, as if they were going to a luxurious dinner, still intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
"Teachers, my performance is over." Chu Yang looked at everyone's intoxicated expressions, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. He naturally knew the effect of his song. It's a delicate and upbeat piece that fits perfectly into the power of life, and he just adds a little bit to produce such an effect. If he increases his strength a little more, I am afraid that these people will be directly immersed in the artistic conception of the music, and they will really wander out of the world!
His gentle reminder, like a big bell, instantly woke everyone up. For the use of the two tones in the Le Shen Duel, under the "tuning" of the two qin spirits, Chu Yang has already mastered it very skillfully, reaching the point of sending it at will. It's just that in terms of the other three tones, Chu Yang is still in a relatively early stage. It's no wonder that he, although he has the music god in hand, but it is just a general outline, and the specific application method, it is obviously not enough for him to explore it by himself, but also to find the relevant qin spirits, and the most accurate and effective ones are obtained from them.
This reminder contains the sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu in the main palace, and a slight shock pulled everyone back to reality from moderate indulgence. In the game, this blow is equivalent to the removal of vertigo, which instantly restores everyone's mobility.
"Oh, finished playing? Okay, good ......" Director Wu subconsciously said two good words, and suddenly said to Chen Nan with some eagerness: "Teacher Chen, start the next song, the next song!" ”
His tone was a little eager, obviously frightened by Chu Yang's expression just now, and now he had already forgotten Chu Yang's rudeness to the alto piano department. Whatever impoliteness, whatever arrogance, go aside! People who can play such music have reason to be proud wherever they go! He just wanted to continue hearing Chu Yang's performance now. Want to see his achievements in sonatas!
Chen Nan couldn't help but be a little amused in his heart when he saw Director Wu's impatient look. This Director Wu obviously took a fancy to Chu Yang's talent, and he already took a fancy to this student, but he still insisted on saving face, which was really funny.
She glanced at Chu Yang. I couldn't help but be a little curious. Just now, an etude, a polyphony, has demonstrated this guy's powerful piano skills, so what kind of performance will he have in the sonata next? Chen Nan is really looking forward to it at the moment.
Sonata is definitely a big item that all piano students can't get around. Although it is complex and difficult, it is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative forms of piano art, and it is also the main form of piano works, regardless of the difficulty of playing. The requirements for the body are very high, but there are still countless people who have a soft spot for it and spend a lot of time and energy practicing on it. Sonata is the basic skill of the piano, and everyone who learns the piano has to face it.
Many people really like the piano, and it often starts with the first piano sonata. Whether it's Curau's little sonata, or Clementi's. Although these works are short and simple, they are enough to show the unique charm of the sonata. People can't help but fall in love with the piano as an instrument. It can be said that it is precisely because of the form of sonata that piano performance brings its charm to the extreme!
And when it comes to sonatas, you can't fail to mention Beethoven. When it comes to this name, whether it is a music major or an ordinary person, I am afraid it is no stranger. It should be said. Beethoven is one of the most well-known of all the master composers, and his work is known as the Symphony of Destiny. The signature four-note theme of "Dangdang Dang Dang" is vividly called "the knock of fate" by many people. With this simple melody, Beethoven's name is known all over the world.
But when it comes to his sonatas, I'm afraid not everyone is familiar with them, only those who study piano know about them, and they have to reach a more advanced stage to get in touch with Beethoven's piano sonatas.
Beethoven wrote many piano sonatas during his lifetime, the most famous of which are 32 pieces, which have been compiled into a collection, the full name of which is "Beethoven Piano Sonatas". These thirty-two piano sonatas, including the essence of all his creative works from youth to middle age to old age, can be called the classic textbook-like preservation of piano sonatas! As mentioned earlier, Bach's "Twelve Equal Temperament Piano Pieces" is the "Old Testament" in the treasure house of piano art, and the palace-level storage zài, similarly, Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas are comparable to the storage zài, which is called the "New Testament"!
Chen Nan saw that Chu Yang had already sat down in front of the piano, nodded lightly at him, and then read out the title of the third question.
Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor!
This piece has a well-known name, "Moonlight Sonata". It's just that many people know Beethoven's "Moonlight", but they habitually don't add the word "sonata", and they basically haven't heard the whole piece of this piece.
Most people know this piece because of a text they learned in elementary school, to the effect that Beethoven wrote this beautiful piece when he met a poor family by the sea, spent a night in their house, and then looked at the moon at the seaside. After reading this introduction, many people think that the moonlight song must be a very quiet and beautiful work.
But in fact, this is not the case at all.
The person who wrote this text did not know for what purpose he wanted to make up such a story, and although this story has a certain influence in the history of Western music, modern people who are involved in music know that this story is actually untenable.
Regardless of whether Beethoven went to the poor family on the beach or not, the statement "Moonlight Song" mentioned in the text alone is inaccurate, and the correct name is: Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor, is an untitled piece of music. As for the name "moonlight", it is because of one reason: the German poet Ludwig? After listening to this piece, Lyerstable said: "Listening to the first movement of this piece reminded me of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland and the moonlight on the lake. Later, the publisher added the title "Moonlight Song" based on this passage, and various legends about the composer improvised in the moonlight became popular. It can also be seen from this that this story was made up by later generations, which can be said to be a misguide!
And what about real moonshine? The piece is divided into three sections, of which the first section of the adagio, the whole piece is a quiet undulating chord, and the left hand continues to play a low melody line like a sigh in the low register, giving people a strong sense of imagery, if the poet was inspired by the work and gave the title "Moonlight", it must have been influenced by this first movement. And this movement is not very long, and it is only about five minutes when it all adds up.
The brisk and sweet second movement is even shorter, lasting just over two minutes.
The highlight of this sonata, and the part that best expresses its thoughts, is in the third movement. Completely different from the first two movements, the third movement begins with stormy arpeggios and strong chords, which fully expresses the double great pain of Beethoven's imminent deafness and breaking up with his lover in his later years, as well as the indomitable spirit of fighting against fate to the end, typical Beethovenian music style!
But it's a pity that many people haven't really heard of "Moonlight", so they spread the rumors, which makes more people misinterpret the original meaning of "Moonlight"!
Wu Yingdi assigned this piece to Chu Yang in the sonata part, and the seemingly difficult components are lower than the previous two, because although this "Moonlight" is also very demanding in terms of technique, but because it is so famous, almost every student who has learned advanced Cheng dù will play this piece and be more familiar with it. But in fact, Wu Yingdi did this to increase the difficulty for Chu Yang.
The reason is simple, the more famous the song, the harder it is to play. Because everyone knows it, everyone is familiar with it, countless masters have played it, and countless jewels are in front of it, and it is not easy to play such a piece well.
But now, Director Wu no longer has the idea of embarrassing Chu Yang, he just wants to see what kind of performance Chu Yang will have in this song "Moonlight"! (To be continued......)
