musicians of old

After dismantling La Er's several major emotional passages in a rational way, Viadrin began to talk about the fingering design of the entire work.

"The sound group after the introduction is first divided into an octave, and then a roundabout ascending arpeggio with a fifth interval. Like me, I can remove the octave, and the rest can be completed with one hand. You can't compare with me. You wrote it too fast, and if the fingering here uses only the right hand to complete the arpeggio after removing the octave, this speed requirement will be quite difficult."

"That's the case." Fanning agreed deeply.

What's more terrible is that the main theme here is still in the band, and the piano is just to create a violent background of the sound flow. It has to match the band, it can't be overwhelming, and it must also take into account the percussion at the lowest point of the sound flow.

That is, in layman's terms, "keep ringing the bell while running".

"How did you handle it?" Viadrin asked.

"Play the first 4 notes with the left hand, and cooperate with the right hand to complete the whole set of arpeggios." Fan Ning answered the method he felt comfortable with.

"principle?"

"Principle." Fanning frowned and thought.

"The core is to use the wrist rotation of 5-1 fingers to 3-1 to play the left-hand octave and the upper fifth, which is in line with the human body's habit of exerting force, and it is also convenient to emphasize accents. Therefore, by analogy, in the follow-up octave-based This method can be used in the arpeggiated texture of the same structure."

"I see."

Viadrin began to explain the fingering or pedal design principle of "pull two" one by one, which made Fanning understand by analogy.

In some clips, he used a pen to draw arcs.

"Look at my connection group on the right hand here. Each group starts with 1 finger, and all the internal fingerings are resolved into conventional methods. Your breathing is also handled by this group."

In some clips, he used steel notes to write down consecutive numbers 2 and 3.

"Here you remember that the core idea is to turn fingers with 2-3 fingers as the axis. All similar sound patterns can get rid of the risk of large spans in this way, thus maintaining the fluency of music and the comfort of playing"

In some clips, he drew two parts of his left hand.

"Here the triplet and the root note of the left hand are handled as two parts. After using the finger turning technique above, the root note will naturally end with 5 fingers. Any composition of this form can be solved in this way."

"The left hand here in the third movement has different fingerings but the principle is similar: to shorten the distance to the root. Try to avoid the 5th finger for the upper chord, and use the wrist rotation to create a sense of position between the chord and the heel, so as to shorten the distance. The role of, um, the sense of position of this segment is very important.”

"Here your harmony is two beats and one change, similar to such dense notes, the pedal must be removed on the second and fourth beats, don't you think the tone is very sticky?"

"It's too aggressive, don't leave any traces."

From fingering to pedaling, Fanning nodded like a pounding garlic.

"What about these two pieces?" After a few pedal case analysis, Viadrin pointed to the two sections with complex harmony functions and asked.

Fan Ning immediately applied what he had learned. According to the previous ideas, he marked the passing sound and lingering sound in the progress of the harmony, and highlighted the main functional blocks.

...

With his left hand, he played a double-layered complex harmony, grasping the big and letting go of the small, switching out the change of the root note, and when he played the subsequent arpeggio, he changed to the trembling pedal method.

"Very good, what about the next one?"

Fanning thought about it, and didn't step on the pedal when the first chord entered, and didn't step on it until the double function was superimposed, and kept it until the end of the paragraph.

"The second Steel Association class is over."

Four hours later, Viadrin waved his hand.

To be honest, he felt that Fanning's comprehension ability was simply a monster.

He is asked to imitate the playing method up to three times, and he can draw inferences about solutions that are more universal. As for theoretical things at the principle level.
In short, dry fuel has been laid in his mind, and it only takes one spark to burn it in pieces!
Viadrin felt that compared to this, the public school children or noble ladies he had taught before, even if he selectively taught them, were simply too much.
If I had met a student with such a fun teaching experience earlier, maybe my voice would not be so loud now!
"Take a break first?"

"It's mainly up to you." Fanning shook his head.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the "Super Flat Floor", the evening twilight has fallen outside.

"I don't care, it mainly depends on you."

"I'm in better shape than when I came."

"You don't need to eat? You can ask someone to bring some food up."

"Eat? After taking this class, do you still need to eat?"

Fan Ning only felt that his spirit was getting clearer and his thinking was getting clearer, and his whole fingers and body were about to move.

I am afraid that my spiritual state is no longer at the level of entering the ninth level.

He moved up the score of Prokofiev's "Piano Concerto No. [-] in C Major": "President, if you have no objection, I can play until tomorrow morning!"

"Continue." Viadrin took a sip of fruit tea.

Fan Ning walked through the melodious band prelude in his mind, and the string tremolo in his mind gradually increased, and then the relief and tranquility were broken, and he played the bright, joyful and rhythmic piano theme with both hands.

He played a little hurriedly, and in less than half an hour, the three movements were coming to an end, and he played the violent and airtight octave ending sentence with both hands, pushing the music to a climax with dazzling and suffocating brilliant sound.

Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, and Fanning adjusted his clothes panting, then took out a handkerchief from his chest and wiped his forehead.

It's too difficult, Pu San is too difficult.

I always feel that there is almost meaning.

"The style changes of your three steel associations are really interesting. They can all see the distinctive Hoffman national characteristics of the Northern Continent, but the radicalness of the composition vocabulary is increasing in turn."

After Viadrin finished his evaluation, he continued the induction and advice that Fanning expected.

The key words he used for Chai Yi were "point", "line" and "face", while for La Er he used "fingering" and "pedal", while Pu San only used one word.

--"stress".

"The key to showing the character of this work is to capture the essence of the accents of each segment, creating a dynamic or bizarre percussion effect"

"The initial impression of the first pass may not be fully summarized, but you can probably attribute stress to four types of processing."

...

Viadrin talked eloquently.

"The first type, fingertip stress, probably corresponds to the '>' mark, which is generally used for relative emphasis in weak dynamic tone groups such as mp-p-pp. Your third joint should be actively moved, and the keys can be directly relaxed. A little more graininess."

"The second type, knuckle stress, probably corresponds to the '-' mark, and the speed of pressing the key is relatively slower, rub it in.

"The third type is the wrist accent, or you can imagine that there is an inverted arch (u) symbol on the note. After the finger touches the key, the wrist drives the fingertip to rotate and then lift it."

"The fourth type, the strongest hammering accent, imagining that the inverted arched symbol is sharper (v), generally used at f and above ff, the keys are sharp and fast, the third joint is well supported, the fingertips are stiff and prominent A strong sense of shock."

"Look here in the 15th measure, which one to use?" Viadlin signaled Fanning to pay attention to a sol of the main theme of the first movement.

Fanning entered from the ninth measure. When he played the note, he imagined that his fingertips were being driven by the wrist, and quickly turned into a U shape above.

"Very well, bar 17, although you didn't write the accent yourself, the first e-flat of the right hand can give the strongest hammer accent."

Fanning re-entered from the opening, and when it came here, his wrist fell straight from the height, and his knuckles touched the keys sharply and quickly.

comfortable.

"In the 27th measure, you seem to have found the first d sound, but you only marked this one. It is recommended that you make a group of three and handle all the first notes in this way."

"This link, bar 41, and the chords are the same, hard! Hammer!"

Fanning tries a second time.

"No, no, listen to me."

Viadrin sat on the piano next door, demonstrating the key touch with one hand: "The latter also needs to be accentuated, you have learned it. But it must be distinguished from the former, and the strength should not exceed it."

Fanning imitated the third time.

"Don't be afraid of the sustain pedal, step on it boldly."

Fanning imitated the fourth time, and he found that the two hammer chords had an echo-like continuous effect.

"Keep playing back, keep stepping, don't change so frequently."

"Like this kind of chord performance with alternating hands, when playing fast, you need to fix the hand shape, find the sense of position, and move upwards according to the root note of the triad, so that your accuracy and urgency will rise to a higher level .”

A gust of wind and rain smashed the piano, Fan Ning raised his wrist and took a deep breath.

He actually made such a strong and exciting sound, and he felt a sense of accomplishment at that moment.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and Pu San spent the combined time of his previous two works.

After thinking deeply about the accent, Pu San under Fanning's fingertips becomes a dramatic interpretation, sometimes rough and violent, sometimes charming and playful, sometimes radiant, sometimes serene, rich in contrast and ever-changing.

This 20th-century steel association deserves to be evaluated as a "difficult and pleasing work" in the previous life. The difficulty and reward of piano skills are equally astonishing, and the expressiveness after playing is simply jaw-dropping.

Viadrin concluded: "Note that all the accents I'm talking about are not just for single notes, and the same is true for chords. You have to think about the percussion of this work every moment."

"President, I think my understanding of these three works has penetrated the clouds." Fan Ning stood up with a bit of complacency and smiled.

...

The breakthrough in the level of interpretation is too refreshing.

It can only be said that composing and conducting have another sense of accomplishment, but it cannot replace the joy of playing the piano.

"Maybe you can try playing under the spotlight surrounded by conductors and bands." Viadrin poured cold water on him, "At that time, you can see how much you can use your hands and brains to play with these processes. Listen. See if your voice can compete with the band, or even dominate the flow of the music.”

So Fan Ning's expression instantly calmed down.

That's right, the band is not involved today, Viadrin is completely demanding himself by the standard of a soloist.

Fortunately, at the opening season concert, I was not the one sitting in front of the piano.

Art never ends.

How can it be so simple to play a steel association well?

"I learned it today, I'll go back and practice more."

It seems to be a sentence that sounds cocooned. Vyadrin couldn't help thinking.However, he firmly believes that what Fan Ning said about practicing more is really practicing more.

His eyes glanced at the contracts that had been thrown on the coffee table in the afternoon, and Viadrin walked over to pick them up
"Your shot is quite generous."

"It's a small additional condition, please read Article 16." Fan Ning reminded with a smile.

"Chief Piano Consultant of the Old Symphony Orchestra." Viadrin read out the above words, "Your name is full of gimmicks, so feel free to use it as a name."

"It's absolutely very important." Fanning nodded solemnly.

"However, let me say it again, for works of this kind of accomplishment, you may only need a friendly price of 500-1000 pounds for one performance, and a large number of world-class soloists will compete for the chance to premiere."

"No, President, with your level of skill, it's the first round of commercial performances after you return to the art circle. Even if you don't deliberately increase your worth, the conditions I offer can't be lower than your previous worth."

Fan Ning's contract appearance fee written on it is, 3 games, pounds!
It seems that the price per game is only 2000% higher than that of Sheeran, who was paid 60 pounds last time.
That's because Sheeran's remuneration is full of water. She is so talented, but lacks fame and accumulation of soloist, the appearance price should be around 500 pounds--it is also very scary to approach a small apartment, 2000 pounds The outrageous price must have been set by Fanning out of preference.

As for records, the ten-game standard is unified: corresponding to 5% of record sales.

That is to say, of the 35% share condition that Hoffman Records signed him, he or the "Old Symphony Orchestra" only took 30%, and the other 5% was given to soloists.

In short, Vyadlin's appearance fee and other fees definitely match his accomplishments and popularity.

In addition, I have learned piano for seven or eight hours today!For those learners who do not usually practice the piano well, are not well prepared, or have low inspiration, with the amount of information that Viadelin has, I am afraid that it will not be able to digest it in half an hour.

If it is divided into one class per week and one hour, it will be two months of study time.

Just imagine, if the previous life could invite Liszt to give a rebirth concert, what kind of price would the countries offer?If a bid was made to invite him to give one-on-one piano lessons, what price would the last bidder offer?

Can't even think about it.

The salary was lowered, which also reduced the value of the old symphony orchestra.

The steaming supper was delivered here, the two filled their stomachs, signed the contract and finalized some details.

...

When preparing to go back to the travel hotel to rest, Fan Ning raised the last topic with expectant eyes:

"The restaurant on the first floor of the Woodpecker Consulting Office."

Vyadrin suddenly realized: "I said, why do you make such a big deal within two months of graduation and still be full of confidence, okay, you've been thinking about this restaurant for a long time?"

This restaurant is not a high-society place in Uflandsell, but its unique and fascinating taste has a good reputation in small circles.

The per capita meal standard is 2-5 pounds, and the average daily passenger flow is 100 groups. This is only a small part of the revenue. The market response of its dim sum delivery business has been getting better and better in recent years.

The salaries of Guiding School members and clerks are uniformly regulated, but each branch has its own various income-generating methods and small treasuries. This group of people in Uvransel can receive a bonus of two to three hundred pounds at the end of the year. The hotel can be said to have contributed a lot.

"The truth is not what you think." Fan Ning chuckled, "You know, as the person in charge of an art venue, it is very reasonable to consider tea breaks and snacks at a series of art salons and other events."

Vyadrin waved his hand: "You are the president now, so you will have full control over the funds coming in and out of the branch."

"Public funds are naturally shared, but the hotel has the nature of your private treasury after all."

"It's up to you to figure it out."

"Ding—" The two knocked off the last sip of red wine in the goblet.

"Then I guarantee that its business volume will rise to a new level in the future. This is the so-called 'inner circulation pattern'." Fan Ning smiled brightly, then picked up his briefcase, and walked towards the steam elevator on the working floor stairwell.

"This guy" Viadrin shook his head, leaned his head on the sofa, and picked up Fanning's old symphony orchestra recruitment announcement, which he hadn't had time to carefully understand yesterday.

While reading, he calculated and added certain numbers in the recruitment announcement in his mind, and then he felt more and more wrong, and his whole body stood upright from the sofa again.

Can this game go on?

Why does the "inner circulation pattern" that this guy said just now sound so weird?

especially get in touch
Totally wrong!

"Hey! If your band is about to close down, it's okay to embezzle part of the hotel's funds for emergency."

Viadrin hurriedly shouted, but when he looked up, he found that Fanning's body had half disappeared into the steam elevator.

"But don't close down the restaurant too! Otherwise, what will I eat next time I go to Uvransel!?"
