Chapter 223: Paganini's Second Minor Concerto, Third Movement "The Bells" (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )

(The little association refers to the violin concerto, and the title cannot be written so long.) )

This piece is the third movement of the second of Paganini's six violin concertos.

Originally titled "Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor", it was later known for the sound of the violin mimicking the sound of bells and "triangles" interacting with the third movement, and was more discussed as a separate concerto.

The entire third movement is called "La Campanella", written in rondo style, which can be called "Rondo of Bells" or "Rondo of Fountains", and it is more commonly called "Bells", and few people know that this piece can also be called "Fountain".

This is a world-famous violin concerto, and the third movement is even more well-known than the whole concerto.

Of course, there is also a homologous track that is even more famous than these, so let's leave a suspense here for the time being.

Shen Wuhuan set up the cannon, and the momentum of the whole person completely changed at once.

She is cynical, soft and cute, and serious and stern is also her.

But only those who have seen her side know that only when playing the tune, Shen Wuhuan is Shen Wuhuan, whether it is by virtue of the skills given by the system or not, Shen Wuhuan is a natural performer!

The amazing "leap staccato" rushed into the sky.

A brilliant singing melody that seems to be singing towards the sky!

Kiki's just right piano accompaniment followed.

The pure staccato of the treble is complemented by the brilliant melody of the violin.

A few short sections passed.

Xin Xiangyang knew that he really didn't make a mistake.

She was so fascinated by the dizzying magical sound in front of her that she couldn't even control her hands anymore, and she wanted to play the piece.

But at the same time, she also found a problem.

"Why can Professor Shen's violin produce such a special metallic sound?"

This time it's not a difference in timbre.

The timbre of the violin is high-pitched and brilliant, but the timbre played by Shen Wuhuan at this time is more metallic and hard while not losing its high-pitched!

This is the "close horse technique" that is as famous as Paganini's astonishing "leap staccato technique".

Italian: "sul ponticello." ”

As the name suggests, the so-called "near-horse playing" is played with the bow close to the horse when the piano is played.

Because it is close to the bridge, the sound becomes stiffer and sharper, and the whole "Bell" is intended to be exactly that, imitating the sound of a bell.

What does the bell look like?

Ancient bells were made by a large metal bell with a heavy object striking it, causing a vibrating sound that could travel very far.

This is not comparable to the "ticking" sound of a mechanical table clock as many people imagine.

Therefore, the timbre of the whole bell is more high-pitched and textured.

It's easy to see how you can change the timbre by changing the position of the bow, but in fact there were very few players before Paganini who could actually use this kind of technique.

There is also no such thing in this world, and some things are always easier said than done.

Because there is none, the shock is also very obvious.

The high-pitched flute sound of the beautiful artificial overtones and the "near-horse technique" seems to be able to penetrate the clouds.

The continuous artificial overtones and the crisp sound of the piano's upper registers complement each other, revealing the unrivalled beauty of this concerto.

"Wait, what was that?"

Xin Xiangyang simply didn't react.

The interaction between the violin and the piano just now shows a special artistic conception and timbre that is simply shocking.

It was the first time she had seen such an expression in a violin repertoire!

Immediately after the violin's fast and brilliant continuous bow jumping, the highly melodic singing melody exploded, only dazzling Xin Xiangyang.

She finally knew at this moment why such a powerful child as Qiqi would worship Shen Wuhuan as a god.

At this time, in Xin Xiangyang's eyes, Shen Wuhuan is by no means just a professor, she has become the king of the violin at this time.

Her casual playing is fascinating.

The melody of the whole "Bell" has a strong personal touch of Paganini.

Heroism, melancholy, and joy are the three hallmarks of Paganini's violin emotional style.

Paganini's time was still relatively feudal, and his musical style was quite inconsistent with the overall serious environment of the time.

So Paganini played as a warrior!

There are a lot of marching motives hidden in his music, showing his unique spirit of rebellion against feudal etiquette!

At the same time, Paganini has always been keen to imitate other sounds with the violin.

For example, the simulation of a horn, the simulation of a flute, the simulation of a bell.

It is believed that this is also the motivation for him to be able to use the "close horse technique" to play the piece.

It can be said that Paganini's music is quite heroic, and he is a heroic figure with a great pioneering spirit.

Melancholy and joy, though completely opposite, allow him to completely hide these two feelings in the same piece.

There is such a passage in the bells.

After a passionate piano accompaniment, the violin's timbre suddenly transforms into a sad and unbearable state.

But Paganini does not let this sad feeling remain for long in the treatment of this section, and immediately the motive of the third overlapping method alternates with the rapid dispersion of chord dialogue, and the technique of left-hand plucking, octave chromatic scale, and overlapping notes is completely unresponsive.

Shen Wuhuan's handling of violin techniques has reached the point of being superb, and all her handling is clean and neat, without the slightest drag.

The overall image is also very ornamental.

People want to engrave her figure deeply in their minds before they give up!

After a series of quick performances, the whole piece enters the end.

The theme reenacts as if it were a repetition, and at the end it descends rapidly downwards with a very fast overlapping downward pattern.

After a series of jumps, the whole piece ends with a low tail note.

Xin Xiangyang's whole body froze in place.

The expressiveness of this piece was like nothing she had ever seen before, and it was far more expressive than anything she had ever seen.

Even Shen Wuhuan's previous "Introduction" is far from being able to match the degree of complexity.

The structure of the whole piece is simply a three-part structure.

But the variation of the sound pattern and the complexity of the technique are amazing!

The most surprising thing is that the artistic expression and appeal of this piece are simply beyond the sky!

Xin Xiangyang even thinks that this song can still make people's blood boil even after a few hundred years.

But just as she was thinking about it, Shen Wuhuan said: "How is it, how does it feel, this simple version of 'La Campanella'?" ”

Hearing this, Xin Xiangyang almost didn't sit on the ground.

"Is this still a simple version? You're not crazy, are you? ”
