Chapter 45: Lectures on Chopin
Shan Yi glanced at the people under the stage and said casually to everyone.
"As I said today, today I just put forward a possible teaching idea for everyone here to think about, whether this kind of teaching method is applicable or not depends on the specific analysis of specific students, and should not directly set a formula to envelop all students in a teaching discussion, so that they can understand the same thing."
"Because today I am just a speech, not a master class, so today I will talk about a student I met recently in a relatively simple way, I will not say his specific name, but his talent in music is very strong, especially his ability to perceive music, almost one of the most powerful students I have ever seen......
"Some people may want to ask me, is there anything else to teach this kind of student who has such a strong sense of music? If you just say a little bit and he can draw inferences about it, is what you teach really that useful to him? Not really...... He has a very strong understanding of the aesthetics of music, but his performance in music is a little bit problematic. ”
"For example, for example, a piece I recently taught, which is one that everyone here should know, Chopin's Ballade for Piano No. 1, no one should know about this work, right? If you don't know the trouble to go out! Shan Yi made a joke to everyone: "It's this very simple work, he actually doesn't play it well, I can comprehend his teaching very quickly, and even can directly apply everything in it to his own music, but ......"
Shan Yi's expression became extremely serious, and he said slowly: "But his performance is not perfect!" Not at all up to one percent of his talent for musical comprehension! You could even say that he completely wasted his talent! ”
Fu Tiao was stunned, he always felt that this person was a bit similar to his current situation, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to He Shen, who was listening to the lecture on the side, and found that He Shen's expression was also a little surprised, and he didn't expect that the example given by Professor Shan Yi this time was so ...... Coincidental?
Shan Yi didn't know what the two of them were thinking under the stage, he just shrugged his shoulders and continued.
"You say he practices hard, he is indeed very hard-working, and he can even be said to be the hardest working group of my students, but you say that he plays well, but in fact, he is relatively average, not very good."
"Since I started researching and changing the direction of teaching, I quickly discovered the problem...... He doesn't have a complete, unified understanding of music! In other words, his understanding of music is scattered! ”
"When we teach, we don't actually adjust the feeling of a whole work, we let students complete a whole work by themselves, and then we adjust some of their details, which is the direction that most of our teachers or peers do, but there is an obvious problem, that is, this kind of teaching is too one-sided and superficial, which may be useful for ordinary people, but it is not so applicable to specific people."
"Take Chopin's First Piano Narrative I just mentioned, we talked about the Naples Six Chords at the beginning, and we always said that we should play the feeling of the Naples Six Chords, what increases the six expansions, what dissonance, what needs to be more sad, and use these words to teach the students, they should understand the Naples Six Chops of Chopin's work, but they will not be particularly clear about the role of this Naples Liuhe County in music."
"For example, the role of this Naples in the whole work, the expression of Chopin's emotions in this place, why we need to play this place, is actually not particularly clear, it's just the simplest formula, you need to do this in this place, you need to do that in that place, that's all."
"So the question is, how do I guide him to begin to understand a work?"
Shan Yi looked at the people under the stage with a smile, his expression did not change, and he spoke to everyone in an extremely flat voice.
"Curved Analysis!"
"I'll give you the simplest and clearest example, for example, Chopin's Nocturne, Op32, No1, for this one, I took my students to analyze the composition, this work is a reproduction of the second part, if you write it down, it should be ......"
Shan Yi stretched out his hand and waved, and a set of formulas immediately appeared on the screen next to him.
““A[a3(K46D7)+b4(DT)+c5(D-DD7)+a4(K46D7)+b3(DT)]+B[d5(Dt)+e6(Dt)+c11(D-DD)]+B’[d5(Dt)+e6(Dt)+c'14(D-DD7)]”
This is the formula for the writing of this piece, taking section A as an example, we can see very clearly that in the A section of the A section, the first three measures are the progression of K46 to D7, and the next section appears again, the same is K46 to D7, so what is the difference between the two sections, what are the similarities? We should use similar ideas to understand and construct the skeleton of this work. ”
"It's the same later, for example, the c phrase in section A, which is the direction from D to DD7, and this section also appears in section B, but this time it goes from 5 measures to 14 measures, and there are also deformations."
"Since these two phrases are actually the same musical thoughts, then we have to think in the same way, and at the same time, not just my own thinking, you also need to inspire his thinking, let him think about how the difference between the two places should be interpreted."
"As we often say, what's the most interesting thing about music? It's a contrast! Through continuous comparison, the layers of music can be more varied! ”
"Just like those variations, what makes the variations so interesting is not only that many things in this piece are changed from a musical idea, but also to a greater extent, it is also the comparison of the overall content of this work, using various forms of contrasts to make the music extremely interesting."
"Therefore, today's lecture is to explain my way of teaching the work of a specific performer from the perspective of how to construct the skeleton of the work and make it clearer for the performer to walk on the internal skeleton of the music through teaching."
“……”
Shan Yi on the stage simply talked about his method of instructing his students, while Fu Diao on the stage was completely stunned.
His mind had no idea where it had gone.
In the music, a door in a completely different direction opened to him, and his eyes were full of essence!
Classical Music ......
It's so much fun!
