Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1095 355. Oh No! It’s the Execution Scene [Part ]

If we only discuss the definition of sonata today, then the discussion will be meaningless.

It is a form of instrumental music based on the most basic rondo two-part form.

The three main parts are presentation, development, recapitulation, and so on.

This kind of general academic summary would be incomprehensible in Beethoven's time, and it is even more unable to provide any effective guidance to those who really need to know today.

It can only provide an introductory concept.

It is obvious that based on the discussion content on the public screen at this moment, the participants are basically within the threshold, but most of them are still starting from the academic concept.

So Ang Lee felt that he should help this group of people broaden their perspectives, even though he knew that it might be a bit difficult for most people in the live broadcast room who were not participating in the discussion.

"Sonata, when this term was born, it was not a definite form. Its original meaning was to play, corresponding to the singing at that time, like minuet, da capo aria, similar to fugue, it was a way of writing, a sense of proportion, direction and texture, but it was not a pattern."

"That's Charles Rosen's point."

“I think that’s something we should pay attention to.”

“It is not easy to distinguish between the basic features of a form and the features given later, partly because the latter tend to tend towards the former over time.”

【Eat my fart: Make a clear distinction】

[Freedom and Art: This is what I mean]

"That is, we must distinguish between the concept of the sonata of 19th-century composers and how much freedom they gave in their compositions when using this vocabulary, and the concept of the sonata as defined in modern times, which is the general format of the sonata that many friends have just mentioned."

"I see that we have students from professional colleges and art school candidates. This advice is for you. Find out the difference between them."

"Why do I suggest that you at least make clear the difference between the two? Because the boundary between them is too vague, and we can even doubt that even if Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart were resurrected today, they might not be able to draw such a line with certainty."

"The reason is simple. Sonatas covered a wide range in their time, which in itself indicates that it has infinite possibilities for variation. Wait a minute."

While Li An was drinking water, Mu Xin took over the conversation: "Students, pay attention, I need to highlight the key points. I feel like the dry goods are coming."

Ha ha ha ha--

Everyone laughed together inside and outside the camera.

Li An put down his teacup and laughed, "It's not really a solid introduction, it's just some personal experience. I hope it can provide you with some ideas for reading music. How should I put it——"

"So, if we treat the sonata as a fixed language rule when practicing, it's like when we do math problems, we just apply the formula without caring where the formula came from. If we see that the conditions are met, we just use it. What will happen? If we change the conditions, we may find that the formula can't be applied directly. This is troublesome."

Li An changed the subject and said, "But, playing the piano is different from doing math problems. When you do math problems and find that the formula doesn't work, you have to stop and think of a solution. I mean, you can't write nonsense. Normally, I mean, you can't write nonsense, otherwise the teacher will punish you."

Ha ha ha ha--

Everyone laughed together again, both inside and outside the camera.

[The third son of the Ge family: Boss, please don’t mess with me. I forgot to turn off the lights in the classroom yesterday and I just remembered it!]

[Grade 8 Gastric Ulcer: Report to Teacher Li, my math teacher has given up on me! ]

Li An grinned, "Even if the teacher gives up on you, you can't give up on yourself. If you are an art exam candidate, you can't give up even more. The art exam has changed. Ge Xingyan, I suggest you take a day off tomorrow."

[The third son of the Ge family: I was wrong, boss! ]

【Fifty Strings: Hahaha, please ask for leave right away.】

[A man will never leave unrevenged: a moment of silence first]

After a pause, Li An continued, "You can't use formulas to do math problems, but you can use formulas to play the piano. You don't need to use formulas. The rhythm of the notes is there. I played the notes correctly and the rhythm was correct. Then I played it and it sounded pretty good. Isn't it wonderful?"

[You in the Cloud: Hahahaha, that’s great]

【Keep working hard, King Ovo: it’s become concrete】

[Biscuit: So this is how I practiced the song]

【Sheep: But】

Li An: "But, let me ask you if there is such a situation. For a sonata, you practice some parts smoothly and it sounds smooth when you play it, but there are some parts where the notes, rhythm, and playing methods are all right, but you feel that it sounds a little weird when you play it, but you can't tell where the problem is. Is there such a situation?"

The word '1' is flooding the screen.

Hai Tao: "Oh my god, you guys are too scary, everyone is so professional."

Ang Lee: "That's the problem. You can't fool yourself with numbers because there are reference answers. 1 is 1, 2 is 2. But there are no reference answers for music, unless you get the notes and rhythm wrong."

"When practicing a sonata, usually the exposition begins with a theme in the tonic key, then switches to the second theme in the dominant key, and then repeats it to the development section, where the theme splits and recombines in various keys, and then returns to the tonic key at the end. In the recapitulation section, the second theme appears in the tonic key, and finally there is an ending that depends on the situation, and then it ends."

"This is the so-called sonata formula, but remember, the sonata has evolved through changes to where it is today."

"There is absolutely no fixed deconstruction method that can handle all situations. Haydn would also use only one theme. Mozart also had a hobby of using a brand new theme to indicate the change to the dominant key. The sonata works of Beethoven in the early, middle and late periods were even more varied in structure. So sometimes we say that we learn a piece of music, no matter what period or genre it is from."

"Why do we say we need to learn? What should we learn? Is it just to play the notes and rhythms correctly and make them strong and weak? That's all?"

"I think what we need to learn is a way of reading, a way of understanding. Only when we know the characteristics of Beethoven's early works can we understand the changes in his middle and late works, instead of listening to other people's comments. They say that every one of Beethoven's late works is full of obscure behemoths. Where is the obscurity? Where is the size? Is it just because of the difficulty of performance?"

"I certainly don't deny that those pieces are technically difficult, so we should avoid defining music or a piece of work with preconceived ideas. What we should do is keep smiling, calm down, slow down, follow the guidance of the notes left by the composer on the yellowed pages, and relive a brilliant time together. In fact, all the secrets have long been left in those long years."

"Whether it's a sonata or something else."

As Ang Lee finished speaking, Lao Tang couldn't help but applaud.

[Aiyoyoyo: Teacher Li, please stop talking. Can’t I just buy it?]

[Draw your sword, Dad: Kneel down]

[Lichun Baby: Hey, it’s okay to be handsome and play the piano well]

[Ruby: Teacher Li’s lecture was great]

【Freedom and Art: A True Master】

[You in the Clouds: Ahhhhh! ]

[Coke without ice: Is this something you can listen to for free? ! ]

[Feng Qingyun Dan: Teacher Li’s explanation is simple and easy to understand. Even though I don’t understand music, I can understand it. Art and life are like this. I think Teacher Li must be a person who understands life very well. I admire him.]

【Zhang Pangzi is not fat: Avoid defining music or a piece of work with preconceived notions. What we need to do is keep smiling, calm down, slow down, and follow the guidance of the notes left by the composer on the yellowed pages to relive a brilliant time together. In fact, all the secrets are left in those long years.】

【Ayu0055: Thank you, teacher】

[Sheep: Thank you, teacher]

Ang Lee: "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone. This is just one person's opinion. Please don't give me any rewards. We are just communicating with each other."

【Eat less snacks and sleep more: Thank you teacher】

[You in the Cloud: Thank you, teacher]

The formation was originally well-organized, but then a discordant sound mixed in.

[Giger Piano Art Gallery: What are you doing? You start with such a high pitch. ]

Li Anle: "Brother, I was wrong. You have nothing to do tonight. I thought you were just here to hang up."

[Giger Piano Art Gallery: Don’t you have to listen to the class first?]

Lao Tang: "Thank you for clicking on the avatar of Giger Piano Art Gallery. If you haven't followed it yet, please follow Teacher Chen."

The words from the top brother on the list immediately made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room cheerful.

Suddenly the screen flashed again and the animation appeared!

【Gig Art Gallery presents Carnival】

Li An was anxious when he saw this: "Don't make trouble, brother. Sister Yun, please watch out. If you give this person more rewards, kick him out!"

The live broadcast room exploded!

Which live broadcast room dares to say that we will kick the big brother!
【Eat my fart: BIG courage! 】

[You in the Cloud: I hit someone! ]

[Biscuit: I dare not! ]

living room.

Old Li was sitting in the middle of the sofa wearing reading glasses, holding a mobile phone in his hand, while Bawan Xiaobai was lying on his left and right, dozing off.

The phone was buzzing with noise, and Mr. Li couldn't see clearly what people in the live broadcast room were saying. He just listened to a few teachers talking and laughing. It was really interesting, and Mr. Li thought what his son said just now was very good.

At this moment, the sound of the piano in the study suddenly stopped. Old Li looked up subconsciously, and then saw Xiaoche pushing the door and walking out.

"Not practicing anymore, Linlin?"

"Lian, Grandpa, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Oh, would you like some water?"

"Grandpa, I'm not thirsty!"

Xiaoche finished using the toilet and ran over to join in the fun.

In the live broadcast room, Teacher Mu was talking about how to learn piano systematically. Xiao Che thought it would be nice if today was Saturday.

Hey ~
"Grandpa, I'm going to practice the piano."

"Want to see another meeting?"

"I won't watch Grandpa anymore, hehe!"

Xiao Che skipped back to the study and continued to practice the music. Through the two days of playing Chopin at the dinner table, Xiao Che discovered something new between the notes, which was exactly what she was feeling recently.

Lao Wei never watched live broadcasts before, but today was his second time.

Liang Huilan used to watch some health broadcasters: "Students should listen to them."

Lao Wei nodded: "This format is very good and convenient. We can communicate online. Look how good the topics we discuss are."

Liang Huilan: "Yes, this girl is also very good at teaching. An An and the other teachers are all very good. Hai Tao really didn't realize that before."

Lao Wei: "This is what they call 'the closer you are to a red person, the more red you will be.'"

The old couple was talking, and Mu Xin had almost finished his talk.

In fact, there is nothing metaphysical about playing the piano from 0 to 1. It is just a conceptual thing. As long as you understand where and how to start playing the piano, you will understand what is from 0 to 1.

【Sunflower: Hello, teacher. I just came in. Can you repeat the previous content? 】

People continued to enter the live broadcast room, and more and more local parents came to visit.

On the stage, Mu Xin had already repeated it once, and seeing this he didn't know whether he should do it again. At this time, Lao Tang took over.

"Hello, new parents and friends, if you haven't followed us yet, please follow us. We will record a special video later to explain in detail how children can systematically learn piano from scratch."

Haitao: "Yes, everyone, please pay more attention. We will also open a special column for technical explanations in the future. Just like this friend asked how to solve the octave problem, we will make special videos for such problems."

Haitao saw a parent's speech and read it out, "Hello, four teachers. I would like to ask about my child's hand shape. The child changed teachers three months ago. The new teacher said that he had not practiced correctly before and needed to start from the beginning to change his hand shape. Is this true?"

[The plane can't fly: There are so many cases like this, it's really hard for parents to judge who is right and who is wrong]

[Ruby: I changed several teachers at that time. Basically, I had to change the method with each teacher. Some teachers really shortened the class time intentionally.]

[Draw Your Sword, Dad: There really are such teachers! ]

[Apple loves to eat mangosteen: Don’t change your child’s teacher unless it is absolutely necessary]

All kinds of violent remarks came out at once, but most people were still more objective.

Hai Tao: "This parent is like this. We need to actually see and hear the child before we can give advice. Is your child with you? If it's convenient--"

As they spoke, several people on the stage looked at Li An at the same time. Li An nodded and took over the conversation, "If it's convenient, let's connect the microphone and listen. This kind of problem can't be solved by communication."

Seeing that the live broadcast room was becoming more and more lively, the situation that several people had worried about before, that no one would go on the microphone, might not happen again.

[Xin Ruo Chen Xiang: Sorry teacher, the child is at his grandmother's house today, what a pity]

Lao Tang: "It's okay, we have live events every week. You can bring your children to listen next time, or leave a video message in the backstage. However, the effect will definitely not be as good as playing in person. This way we can interact in real time."

【Xin Ruo Chen Xiang: Thank you, teacher! Will we still meet at 7:30 pm next time? 】

This question is something that Lao Tang and the others cannot answer, as the boss has to make the final decision.

Just then Li An spoke up: "Every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7:30."

[Xin Ruo Chen Xiang: OK, OK, thank you Teacher Li, thank you three teachers]

The interaction between the four people and the parent also aroused heated discussions in the live broadcast room. We have seen many online singing and commentary, but this is the first time we have seen online piano diagnosis.

Do it faster, do it faster!

[There is a little fat pig at home: How much reward does Teacher Li need to give to connect to the microphone? 】

Li An was stunned. "No need to give a tip. Just being a fan is enough." Then he turned to look at Lao Tang. "What do you mean?"

Lao Tang laughed: "You should study Douyin more. I won't explain it to you. Audience is enough. If you insist on saying fans, then just think of it as spending a dime to get on the microphone."

Li An: "Oh, one cent is fine, do I have to spend it?"

Hai Tao: "Okay, brother, stop asking, it's embarrassing."

This scene made the live broadcast room burst into laughter, and Teacher Li’s expression didn’t look like he was acting.

Mu Xin: "Come on, are there any kids who want to go on the mic?"

At the same time, Xiaoyun turned on the fan live broadcast function, and Wei Fangyuan, who had been waiting for half a day, clicked to apply immediately.

【 Ruby: Sister Mu, can we meet again? 】

Mu Xin: “Of course.”

Xiaoyun then saw a long queue of applications in the background, found Yuan0817, and clicked to send an invitation.

The screen flashed and a split screen appeared.

[You in the Cloud: Let’s applaud and welcome Little One!!]

"Hello, teacher, can you hear me?"

A mature female voice appeared in front of the screen first. Old Tang Muxin didn't react at all. They both thought it was Liu Fengrui's mother.

But Haitao's expression has changed. Look at this user ID Yuan0817 who was played by a bad boss.
Li An smiled and said, "Hey, hello, parent. Welcome, welcome."

Yuan0817: "Hello, Teacher Li, and hello to all three teachers."

Rongyuan staff housing building.

Old Wei had a strange smile on his face. Young people really know how to have fun.

Lao Tang: "Hello, what questions do you have?"

As Lao Tang was asking this question, a little girl in red furry pajamas appeared in front of the piano in the split-screen picture.

When he saw the girl's mischievous smile, Lao Tang couldn't help but twitch his lips. This, this, this, isn't this Lin Guoguo! !

"My child just practiced a piece of Czerny recently. Can the four teachers help me listen to where the problem is?"

Mu Xin thought that Xiao Liu failed to connect, but she didn't know that the person sitting in front of the piano was Lin Guoguo.

"Okay, parent, your child can start now. Come on, kid."

[Biscuit: Sister Mu is so sweet! ]

【Sheep, sheep: Come on, little baby! 】

As everyone was looking forward to it, in the video, Guoguo raised her hand and started playing the piano. The sound of the piano came out and reached Li Ang's ears. Li Ang nodded first.

There are many heads opened.

【Fatty Zhang is not fat: Great! 】

[You in the Clouds: Which one is this? It's not from 599, but from 849? Let an expert explain it]

[The plane takes off: This line is not in 849, but it can’t be 299 either]

[Teacher Wang from Liuzhou: It seems to be one of the 337. It’s too unpopular.]

[Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: 453, No. 27, Practice playing the melody with both hands in sync]

[You in the Clouds: The Star God is here again]

The melodious tune is like the singing of birds, and even the scrolling chat subtitles in the chat room are full of vitality.
