Chapter 119: The Weird Violin (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection!) )

Jesus is the Savior, then Paganini is the Devil. (There is a saying that Jesus is the name of the luthier, well, everyone can choose what they believe)

The combination of the savior and the devil is like a war!

The war between the two played the most arrogant music in the world.

What kind of legend does Paganini have?

Let's take our time.

Paganini was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1782, to parents who had no formal musical education and earned money only by singing in hotels (it is also said that his father was a businessman who loved music).

Paganini's music has influenced many people, Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini", Brahms's "Variations on a Theme of Paganini OP35", and of course, the most famous Liszt is a fan of Paganini, and his arrangement of "Paganini's Great Etude" may even be more famous than his own works.

One of Paganini's masterpieces, Twenty-Four Caprice, is the touchstone of modern violinists.

It can be said that he is music himself, so he is also known as the "King of Music", or "God of the Violin", and he is also known as the "Devil's Violinist".

His deeds are widely spread in the world, and many of the true and false are now impossible to verify, but this also proves his legend.

For example, at the Paris Conservatoire there is a model of his hand bone, his left hand is different from ordinary people, and the left thumb valgus can touch the little thumb.

For example, any instrument, even if it is not tuned, can be played by ear based on fingering changes in his hand.

For example, he was able to play a complete piece of music with only one G string (which is exactly the case in the Variations on a Theme of Moses, which uses only one G string for the entire piece).

These are all rumors with a relatively high degree of credibility, and as for some rumors that modern people hear as soon as they hear it, it only arouses his legend even more.

Legend has it that he once killed his mistress and used her intestines as a string, and this G string is so tough that it survives an extremely intense concert and is even able to simulate the sounds of animals and humans!

Of course, there is another version of this rumor, saying that he killed his rival and used the intestines of his rival to make strings.

And this string made of intestines is used in the "cannon" (there is also a saying that it is the devil's playing instrument - the calompo, also a melon-style instrument, Paganini killed his wife because of this instrument, well, there are many versions).

As for the truth and the fake, we can only tell for ourselves.

But it is undeniable that Paganini is the greatest violinist, if not the greatest, violinist.

He took the then stagnant violin technique a step forward, enriching his compositions while increasing the difficulty, and he was arguably the first violinist to use both "flute" and "artificial overtones".

The most terrifying thing is his unsurpassable fingering: Paganini can play three octaves with four strings in a single position.

It is also said that there are four octaves, and the versions vary, but in any case this does not seem to be possible, because when the violin is played, the left hand is bent, so in order to do this, the distance between the little finger of the left hand and the index finger is not less than 20cm.

Today, octave-changing and left-handed plucking have become the regular training subjects of contemporary violinists, and three octaves in the same position have long been a legend.

Some people say that he is able to have such "spider fingers" because he has Marfan syndrome.

It is even said that Paganini is the biggest liar in the world, he never tells the truth, and all the stories are all lies that he carefully weaved.

But none of this is irrelevant, such a legendary figure, there are countless great music masters who regard him as an idol, and now that Shen Wuhuan has his piano, how can she not be excited?

Looking at the brown piano in his hand, glowing with a seductive light, Shen Wuhuan took out his bow (this piano cheek rest should be one with the qin), leaned on his shoulder and just wanted to pull it, and hurriedly ran to put rosin on the bow.

After putting on the rosin, she felt as if she was not cautious enough, so she went to take a shower.

As soon as she posed after taking a shower, she suddenly thought, "By the way, don't I have skill points?" I've upgraded my violin skills to the master level and then I'm ready to play them. ”

She thought of it, and then she took out a common skill point and raised her violin skills to the master level.

But that's a bit of a bad thing.

Shen Wuhuan spread directly on the ground, she tried her last strength to protect the piano with her body, thinking in her heart: "Don't break it!" And then he fainted.

was in a coma until Xia Mengxue returned home, only to find that Shen Wuhuan was paralyzed on the ground, wearing pajamas and holding a violin in his arms.

The harp was magical, as if a woman whispered in her ear, calling to her, holding it tight.

As a result, Xia Mengxue didn't think about it, kicked the "woman" away, and quickly helped Shen Wuhuan up from the ground.

"Hey, Wu Huan, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

This made Xia Mengxue anxious, and just when she wanted to call the emergency number, Shen Wuhuan finally regained consciousness.

When she woke up, she felt that her whole body seemed to be different.

This was the first time she had relied on skill points to upgrade her skills to the master level, and the knowledge attached to the master skills was directly poured into her mind, allowing her to instantly have the experience of playing almost all violin repertoire.

It's amazing!

She was so surprised that even when she woke up, she just sat there in a daze, motionless.

Even if Xia Mengxue pushed her, there was no reaction.

She suddenly remembered something, and moved her arm, and her right arm became extremely light, as if it had been born to perform various bow techniques.

The left hand is even more exaggerated, although the size has not changed, but it is more soft and flexible.

The pianist's fingers are inherently flexible.

You can even fold it back to the back of your hand with the metacarpal joint as the axis!

No matter how you think about it, the picture is terrifying, but it is the real situation.

But now Shen Wuhuan's fingers have become even more weird, her fingers seem to have become tentacles, when they are soft, they seem to have tentacles without bones, and when they are hard, they can be as powerful as a hammer!

"I've evolved!"

Shen Wuhuan suddenly shouted out such a voice, almost scaring Xia Mengxue to sit on the ground.

"What the hell?"

"I said I evolved! I got this instrument and was reborn! Shen Wuhuan was incoherent at this time, as incorrigible as the second illness in his later years.

After Xia Mengxue was sure that she was fine, she didn't bother to care, pulled her up, and then her eyes fell on the violin in Shen Wuhuan's hand.

"It's been a long time since you looked at this paint, right? How much? ”

"How can this be measured in terms of money?" Shen Wuhuan held the cannon in his arms, and the baby was amazing.

"Cut, everything in the world can be measured by money, I just run a piano shop, I don't know?"

Shen Wuhuan was speechless, and then became angry: "You are not an artist at all!" ”

"Of course, you already knew." Xia Mengxue didn't have the heart to play with her, so she sat on the bed, "Okay, let me listen to the timbre of this piano, it won't be a good thing, right?" ”

"How can it be a good thing, this piano is amazing!"

"Then pull it quickly, I'll listen."

Shen Wuhuan looked at Xia Mengxue and then at the qin, and swallowed, "I pulled it." ”

"Hmm."

"I pulled it."

"Hmm..."

"I really..."

"You're so endless, you don't pull it for me."

"Don't don't, I've got it!"

Saying that, Shen Wuhuan took a deep breath, and the moment the bow and chords rubbed together, a loud timbre came out of the resonance box of the piano body, echoing throughout the room, like the chanting of a siren.

Just one note has opened countless ripples, and this extraordinary distance is unique to the melon style piano!

"Bang bang." Xia Mengxue didn't know why she was applauding, she couldn't control herself.

"I haven't pulled anything yet." Shen Wuhuan frowned.

"Then you're pulling!"

Shen Wuhuan was a little too excited, and asked instead, "What to pull?" ”

"Just play a tune you like, eh, what's wrong with you today, it's so hard to talk to you..."

"Like... Then I'll have one of them. ”

Shen Wuhuan began to play the first few sections of the third movement of the "Bell" of Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor.

Suddenly the smooth notes appear in the form of jumps, which is exactly Paganini's "leap staccato", which plays the notes in a very flattering way, and has a high appreciation value.

The rhythm of the leap staccato is extremely difficult to grasp, but Shen Wuhuan's performance perfectly restores all this, and the sense of emptiness between each note is like a huge suspense, and like a huge black hole.

Completely absorb the attention of the audience.

The cannon's voice is like that of a grief-stricken woman, singing an ode to joy in a very mournful voice.

This voice was like a devil whispering, which made Xia Mengxue shiver all over.

It's not that it's not bad, but the sound of the piano has an absolute specificity, which is completely incomparable to the stable timbre of a modern violin, like a wild horse that is difficult to tame, and even the slightest difference in the force of the finger touch the string and the area of pressing can produce a completely different timbre.

That's the beauty of the gua-style, once you tame this wild horse, it will become the most reliable companion in the world, overcoming obstacles and invincible for you!

With Shen Wuhuan's trill, he came.

In a trill, there are several timbres changing each other, and the short and intense trills are like a woman's roar and a woman's murmur.

Xia Mengxue was so frightened that she wanted to stop, but at this moment, the timbre began to change.

As Shen Wuhuan's bow technique changed faster and faster, the movements became more and more crazy, but the timbre of the violin became high-pitched and sweet, like a girl in love, with a smile and a smile.

At this time, Shen Wuhuan felt that a girl was leaning on her shoulder, she curled her long hair on her sideburns with her fingers, circle by circle, this intoxicated finger twisting softness, coupled with the girl's whispered singing voice in her ear, can really make people obsessed.

The piece has been completely out of shape in the middle section, Shen Wuhuan is possessed by Paganini at this moment, showing extremely amazing performance skills, continuous double tones, rapid trills and dazzling bow changes, making the whole improvisation brilliant atmosphere, in which the courage shown by plucking the strings with the left hand and jumping the bow with the right hand makes Xia Mengxue stunned.

Finally Shen Wuhuan stopped playing, her cheeks were covered with beads of sweat, and after playing, she found that the sweat had stuck to the piano, which would be a problem!

She hurriedly ran to get a tissue to wipe the piano clean.

Fortunately, only the cheek rest was sticky with sweat, and if the piano body was sticky, then she wouldn't even have the chance to cry.

Xia Mengxue looked at Shen Wuhuan like this, Shen Wuhuan wiped the piano with a tissue like stroking the girl's carcass, how gentle and gentle the posture was.

And Xia Mengxue looked like a ghost.
