world number one pianist

Chapter 120 Is This Damn Human?
Although it is said that students or teachers of the conservatory of music, it is best to stay in the piano room and practice non-stop, but it is still necessary to come to the library occasionally.

He Shen can't remember how many times he came to the library to look for materials. At other times, he is usually used to looking for music scores, copying them and going back directly, but this time, what he needs is not a copy of a certain score, but A serious analysis of the piano music of the Romantic period.

He Shen walked into the library and found many scores of different musicians in the romantic period, and copied them one by one. He randomly found an empty table, pushed the sundries on it aside, and carefully Really analyze the above content.

These romantic musicians were not only very romantic in thought, but also very gentle in character.

They don't deliberately hide some details that you can't see in their works, so that you can scratch your head while watching their works, and miss the key points.

They will be extremely heroic in their works, write out everything they have, and then show it openly in front of everyone, tell them their own strength, and show off their unparalleled talents to you.

Therefore, if you carefully observe and analyze each note of the score, you can clearly get a lot of different information, all of which are hidden under the notes.

He Shen pulled his gaze away, not confining himself to one piece of work, but looking at all the works in front of him with a quick overview of the whole piece.

Then, observe the similarities and differences in these works in front of you, and think carefully, why all the musicians in this place would write in the same way, but that place would be different?
Analyze the same type of works of each composer, compare them with their history, match the notes in the score, and think about everything in the score.

I don't know if it's because of the system, or because his mastery of music is getting deeper and deeper, especially the music of the romantic period. He gradually understands many works that he has never seen before. It can be concluded how this piece should be played.

This feeling is simply not too cool!
Just like omniscience and omnipotence!
He Shen greedily swims in the world of music, feeling the charm brought by each note, and this charm makes him feel comfortable and beautiful in his heart.

If it wasn't in the library, he even felt like he could jump up and cheer.

Fortunately, the sense of shame prevented him from yelling directly, but continued to watch the music.

Just as his understanding of Chopin's works became deeper and deeper at the beginning, his understanding of all music in the romantic period was like a branding iron, engraved in his mind and gradually deepened.

Every note, every rest, every crescendo has its own charm!
It's a pity that this charm is too skinny. If you don't have a deep understanding of music, you basically can't feel the beauty from the score.

When He Shen kept flipping through the music score, he somehow felt the meaning given to him by this system.

Although there is still a little hazy, but this feeling is already there.

More and more people are willing to indulge in earwashing and shoddy music. This kind of music full of logic and rationality is abandoned by more and more people. There is always someone who needs to pick up this music and make this beautiful As for dissipating.

Perhaps this is the meaning of the system's existence?

As for the piano master... it should be just an identity.

Whether it is a piano master or a piano king, they all appeared for the sake of their own rapid growth to a certain level.

and so……

I still need to work harder.

Just as He Shen kept looking at the music score and thinking about what to say in the next class, a soft and jade hand suddenly touched He Shen's face.

He Shen raised his head and saw that it was Li Tongyun, the sophomore girl who often appeared in front of him with inexplicable complaints, and then did a series of confusing behaviors.

He Shen looked at her and asked lightly.

"What's up?"

"Uh, that..."

Li Tongyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hammered his own head, looked around for a while, hesitated to speak.

She came here to look for the pure version of Urtext, because the version downloaded from imslp was considered a public version, too crude, and it was someone else's version, which was very bad and was criticized by the teacher for a long time.

Most of the scores on imslp are basically private public versions. Although the sound is the same, in fact... there is a big difference from Urtext.

To put it simply, the most common difference is the connection line, because those public versions are all private scores, so the above connection lines are the versions of those private composers. When they perform the works, the connection lines drawn are not is the connection of the composer itself.

And many teachers have very strict requirements. Their own score is the original score, and students will naturally be required to use the original score to perform. After these students with imslp scores play in a daze, it is likely that the score version is different from the teacher's version. , and was directly called back.

Li Tongyun is such a student. After her version was completely rejected by the teacher, she was scolded by the teacher.

"There are a lot of pure original scores in the school library. You don't copy them. You come to class with the public scores on imslp. Do you know what you are playing?"

"We played the original idea of ​​the composer, not the inexplicable version adapted by others. If you like that inexplicable version, then you should learn from that arranger. You still come to us. What do you study at school? I want to quit school early."

"Finally, I will warn you again. If next time I see you bring me an inexplicable sheet music that came out of nowhere to practice, I advise you to change your teacher as soon as possible. I have no way to teach you. "

"If you are lazy, you can buy it from a certain treasure. If you are a little diligent, you can go to the school library to make a copy. If you have money, you can go to buy it yourself and ask someone to bring back the original score. There are so many ways, you have to choose the best one. The wrong one, if you don't want to study, go home early, and change your major early!"

In this way, after being scolded several times for no reason, Li Tongyun went to the library honestly, looking for the works she was going to perform next, and checking to see if there were any new novels to read in the library.

However, when she was looking for the music score, she suddenly found a very familiar figure on the opposite side, separated by a few bookshelves. This figure was so familiar that she dared not forget it.

After all, this person has remembered her twice.

She walked carefully through the bookshelves, walked around behind He Shen, watched He Shen select the music scores he needed, and then went to the customer service center to make copies.

After copying, I found an unoccupied seat outside. After getting the sundries aside, I started to keep looking at the music score, writing and drawing on the score.

Judging from this, it should be a person who needs to analyze the score quietly.

Then, she didn't know which nerve she had put wrong, so she ran to He Shen's side suddenly, put her finger on his music score, interrupted He Shen's reading, and asked him to raise his head, look I glanced at myself.

Looking at the situation, if I didn't guess wrong, I should be... He Shen will write a bad review in the notebook again.

Forget it, don't care, anyway, I already have two circles, and it doesn't matter if I have one more, as the saying goes, too many bad reviews don't hurt you, three or four bad reviews are nothing, just get on it!

Li Tongyun, don't be afraid, you are a student, he is a teacher, it is only natural for a teacher to answer students' questions, so let's go!Li Tongyun!

Li Tongyun cheered herself up silently in her heart, squeezed her fist hard, and begged He Shen with extremely firm eyes.

"Well, Teacher He, can I ask you a question? Please, I really have a question I want to ask!"

"ask."

He Shen spoke concisely and stared at Li Tongyun coldly, as if he would fail her if she didn't speak out.

After finishing speaking, He Shen suddenly added a sentence later.

"If you ask questions that have nothing to do with music, go back to your class and forget about passing."

Seeing He Shen's expression, Li Tongyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart was beating, he took a few deep breaths, and after cheering himself up again, he gritted his teeth and asked He Shen.

"Well, teacher, I've been practicing Liszt's "Hunting" recently, but the overall feeling of my practice is not quite right, that... can you tell me about it and analyze this piece of work? I think..."

"Paper, pen!"

When He Shen heard this question, he stretched out his hand without waiting for her to finish speaking, and motioned to Li Tongyun.

"Give me paper and pen, and I will take you to analyze, speed."

"Huh? Oh oh oh..."

Li Tongyun was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he hadn't finished speaking yet, He Shen interrupted her directly, asked her for a pen and paper, immediately rummaged through his pocket, looked it up quickly, and then put the last word in his bag. The pen at the bottom was handed to He Shen, and after realizing that he had no paper, he quickly ran to the front of the library and followed the front desk to borrow a piece of paper.

When she went to the front to borrow a pen and paper, He Shen also went to the score office of the music department, found Liszt's "Hunting", copied it, put it in front of him, and read it silently.

His previous understanding of the music of the Romantic period quickly came to his mind. Even if it was only the first time he watched it, he quickly saw some clues from the score.

Liszt's "Hunting" comes from one of his twelve super-technical etudes. This one is arranged in a different way from Chopin's preludes. Chopin habitually uses the ascending fifth degree, while Liszt, It is customary to use the arrangement order of five degrees descending, and arrange them in order.

This set of works, in addition to the most boring finger function training, also includes many exercises of performance skills, which can be regarded as a comprehensive work, the perfect unity of skills and artistic expression.

And this piece...

He Shen thought for a while, searched for Liszt's memory in his memory, found the memory of Liszt playing this piece, and nodded.

This is a work Liszt created when he was 15 years old, inspired by Paganini, a virtuoso violinist, and Berlioz, a composer. titled "The Hunt".

Then, this is a work in the key of C minor. The overall situation is mainly based on the grand orchestral momentum. It needs not only a fresh and beautiful mountain style, but also a hunting scene brought by special complex chords, giving people a sense of harmony. Strong visual and auditory impact.

With the name of this work, "Hunting", I should naturally analyze this work carefully from the aspect of hunting.

If you don't want to reach the perfect level, you can at least enter the entry level, right?

He Shen touched his chin and took out a lollipop from his pocket. While looking at the music score in front of him, he tore off the outer layer of paper with ease, put the lollipop in his mouth, and embraced it with both hands. , Let your brain give full play and think carefully about the content.

Li Tongyun didn't know that He Shen was reading the music, the intention of each phrase, she quickly took the pen and paper, walked up to He Shen, handed the pen and paper to him, and said carefully.

"Well, Mr. He, what do you want this pen and paper for?"

"Analysis of music."

He Shen spoke succinctly, and stretched out his hand to signal Li Tongyun to sit opposite. Seeing that she just sat down but made no other movements, he couldn't help frowning, knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said coldly.

"Are you so confident that you don't need to record yourself?"

"Huh? Recording?"

Li Tongyun was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what He Shen meant.

He Shen looked at the foolish Li Tongyun and continued.

"Or, you can understand it once?"

"Huh? Oh oh oh..."

Seeing He Shen's frown gradually, Li Tongyun's heart trembled, and he instantly understood He Shen's thoughts, immediately took out his mobile phone, and pressed the recording button.

If you just listen to it once, it is absolutely impossible for you to understand what He Shen is talking about, so you must use the power of these electronic products to copy all the content He Shen said, put it in your mobile phone, keep it and listen slowly.

And He Shen also spoke immediately after she pressed the record button.

"First of all, we can see that this work is in the form of a juxtaposed trilogy, with a compound structure, a total of 228 bars, and a relatively large length. The whole can be divided into four sections: A, B, C, and D."

"The first section, A section, from the first bar to the eighth bar, is a musical form, which is the theme of this work, from a, the first to No.30 bar, and a' , No.30 is composed of two parts from the second to the eighth bars, the a' part is the extension and expansion of the a part, and the changes are repeated, so we can focus our attention on the a part of the A section of this work."

"This work is mainly in the key of C minor. It starts with an octave melody in big characters. This place needs to give people a sense of shock!"

"The opening, octave, is like the sound of a shotgun, and a hunt officially kicks off, followed by a fast 32nd note, and a major chord played by the left and right hands in unison. It is obvious that the intention in this place is that the prey is awakened by the gunshot, Run away quickly."

"After a series of quarter notes, this place is obviously pushing the music to a climax, and at this place, Liszt is very interesting. After five sets of chromatic runs, he gave a bar The extended rest, let everything fall into a calm, what does this mean?"

He Shen suddenly opened his mouth and asked Li Tongyun. Li Tongyun was still shocked by He Shen's unexpected explanation before, and didn't hear He Shen's question at all. When He Shen frowned and asked the second time, she Only then did he regain his senses, and said in a low voice.

"Uh, that... means the prey is dead, and the hunter is slowly approaching the prey to prevent the prey from counterattacking before it dies?"

"It can be understood in this way, because this place is actually a blank space, giving people infinite reverie, and bringing the music back to peace as a whole. In this peace, there is a hunter's murderous intent hidden."

He Shen said calmly, it seemed that Li Tongyun's words had already been expected by him, so he quickly wrote down the musical form analysis of the whole work on paper.

A very long composition table was written on paper, the content on it was very clear, and the whole work was divided into four parts.

A部分，1-58小节，a（1-31）+a'（32-58）

B部分，59-185小节，b（59-85）+ c（85-115）+ c'(116-133)+ d（134-164）+ b'（164-185）

C部分，186-215小节，e（186-193）+ c'’（194-215）

Part D, subsections 215-228.

Among them, part D is the coda, the main purpose is to enhance the overall sound effect of the music, so that the phrase will finally fall back to the top of C minor, so that the whole work can regain its perfection.

He Shen pointed to the part B in front of the two of them, and continued.

"This part A is actually not much. It basically announces the beginning of this piece of work, giving a simple theme, shooting a gun, chasing prey, that's all. The most quintessential part of this piece is Part B is part B, the so-called second part."

"This work we see is in C minor, but when it comes to the B part, it becomes its relative minor, E-flat major, and the overall intention of C minor can be understood as anxiety, fear, anxiety, but when it comes to flat In E major, the overall color begins to change, becoming clear, bright, shiny, relaxed and joyful, which also symbolizes the end of part A of the first part, and we have actually hunted the prey."

"We are now paying attention to this place, No.80 four bars to No.80 seven bars, this place has a characteristic, what is this characteristic?"

Li Tongyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at the content carefully. There were only four sections, but he felt that it was more difficult than a heavenly book.

After thinking about it for a while, she spoke cautiously.

"Is...repeated?"

"say clearly!"

"Uh, I don't know..."

"..."

He Shen pursed his lips, let the trouble in his heart go back to his heart, let out a breath of foul air slowly, and said to Li Tongyun.

"It's the repetition between the second and seventh tones of the material, and finally comes to the fifth tones of the mode. I say this, can you understand?"

"perhaps?"

"perhaps……"

He Shen pinched his eyebrows, feeling tired for a while, but soon, he shook his head, since he had already started talking, he couldn't stop.

Not for Li Tongyun, but for himself.

He Shen threw Li Tongyun aside, gave up asking her questions, and started explaining the piece directly to himself.

"We can see the c section in part B, that is, measures 85-115. This place is the most lyrical section of the whole song. This place introduces new music materials, but the left hand repeats the music materials that appeared before. , this place is very interesting.”

"The melody is arranged on the first finger (thumb) and the fifth finger (little finger) of the right hand. The accompaniment of the left hand is extremely gentle, and the melody like a song makes people feel soothing from the heart."

"The modified c' section of the following section c, the left hand is changed to a continuous syncopated chord that is exactly the same as the melody sound of the right hand, and it is still performed in the key of E-flat major..."

"In section 133..."

"Part d..."

"..."

He Shen's brain is very clear, he knows exactly what he is talking about, and he speaks out his thoughts bit by bit, and leads Li Tongyun to analyze this work, quickly cut the whole into five themes, abcde, and an epilogue.

The theme a is a part alone, which is part A, and the three themes bcd together form a part B, the variations of the theme e and the theme c form part C, and finally part D is the variation.

The overall logic is very clear and transparent, making it very clear at a glance.

At least, it was very clear to He Shen.

After talking for nearly two hours, he looked at the characters he had written with satisfaction, then threw the paper full of words to Li Tongyun, and said calmly.

"Okay, the whole of this piece of work should be like this. There are still a few details in it. It depends on your teacher to explain it to you in class. Now you just need to disassemble this piece of work according to my division. , you can roughly deduce this work, is there any problem?"

"???"

Li Tongyun was stunned, her brain had no extra capacity to think about the problem, and now her face was full of question marks.

Is this Nima human?
How can anyone completely disassemble the entire score just by looking at it?

and……

Li Tongyun was very sure that He Shen should have never seen this work before she came, at least he was not particularly familiar with this work.

But after he saw the beginning, he fully understood the piece, and took her to break it down bit by bit, and told her how this place should be interpreted.

Although... this is just a very rough outline, it can be seen that He Shen's thinking in this place has been thoroughly penetrated, and he knows how he should play in that place.

Li Tongyun was very sure that he only needed to give He Shen a little time, and He Shen could perform this work in front of everyone with an extremely perfect posture.

Of course, this is only perfect for her. For other masters of music, or Mr. He Shen himself, whether this work is perfect or not, then I don’t know.

Not only that, but there is a very important point!
Li Tongyu's expression was very complicated, she looked at He Shen, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Even if the teachers she knew before performed the works by sight-reading, they only played a rough idea. It took only a few minutes for He Shen to get the score, and he could analyze it completely in this way. This shit...

Is this the strength of the winner of the Golden Piano Award?Is this the boss's spare time?I'm really envious, when will I have this ability?

Sure enough, I am a scumbag, I can't do anything...

Is the gap between a top student and a scumbag really that big?

Oh no, no, this is not a master of learning, this is a god of learning!

Only a god of learning can directly analyze the musical structure of this work just by looking at it.

This kind of frustration made Li Tongyun completely lose the idea of ​​chasing He Shen.

Li Tongyun thinks that he can't achieve this kind of analysis of works at a glance, and he may not be able to reach this level in the next ten years.

Sure enough, the gap between people is so big that it makes people desperate.

Li Tongyun sighed, wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, he just put away the paper in front of He Shen, bowed obediently after He Shen, and said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Teacher He."

"It's okay, but your basic music theory needs to be improved. Who is your harmony teacher? I'll help you go back and have a look, maybe let him pay more attention to you."

"???"

Hearing that He Shen wanted her harmony teacher to pay more attention to her, Li Tongyun immediately became anxious and shook his head at He Shen.

"No, no, teacher, you are too polite! Teacher, don't be like this. I'm afraid of you. I'm just an ordinary student. Teacher, please don't mess with me."

Bowing, waving, and running all the way, Li Tongyun no longer dared to stay beside He Shen and continue to make noise.

What if He Shen is playing for real?Really go to her harmony teacher and ask her harmony teacher to pay more attention to her?
Wouldn't that mean that my future college career would be completely over?Live in the painful academic hell every day, oh no, or be sealed in the piano room, and there is no way to escape?

This feeling... forget it!

She chose to give up, no matter how awesome He Shen was, she didn't want to continue to have anything to do with He Shen.

After all, he is a boss, and he is just a scumbag.

He Shen looked at the back of her fleeing quickly, the corners of his mouth twitched quickly, and he shook his head. He didn't bother to pay attention to her, and continued to bring back the "Hunting" that he had analyzed before, and analyzed the content of it casually, allowing himself to gradually increase his understanding of Li Si special understanding.

Looking at the situation, my Liszt "Hunting" should have reached the specialization level, probably at the level of Lv4. After I play more, I can reach Lv6 soon?

At this moment, someone beside him suddenly spoke again.

"Hey! Why are you sitting in my seat?"

　Question, do you like 2k chapters, and post 4-5 chapters a day

　　I still like a chapter of 4-5k, and post two a day
　　Or if you like a chapter with 8-1w words, post a chapter a day?
　　Ps: There may be a small chapter with about 3k-4k words tonight
