Chapter three hundred and ninetieth forget skills
Chu Yang appears!
At this moment, the audience suddenly became quiet. Whether it was the audience, judges, or the two hosts, the eyes of Chu Yang were curious and expectant!
The music fans in front of the TV were also waiting quietly, especially those sunny fans, who were in extremely complicated moods. Expectations, excitement, and of course more worried!
It's no wonder that if Chu Yang was holding a bamboo flute at this moment, then they would never be worried. But at this moment, Chu Yang was holding a erhu!
From the mysterious "dance and flying" on the Internet to the real bamboo flute master, Chu Yang's rise is as dazzling and rapid as a comet! But all along, what Chu Yang has shown in front of others is his amazing talent in bamboo flutes, including in terms of composition, the songs he wrote are all bamboo flute works!
But now, he is holding a erhu in his hand!
Can a person who plays the bamboo flute to such an excellent level, practice the erhu to a professional level at the same time? It is not just a few strokes to pull a simple little song, but to compete with an erhu master like Duan Guosheng!
Although many music fans think this is a bit impossible, there is a hint of expectation in their hearts!
Perhaps it is because Chu Yang has never disappointed them since his debut. Every time he appears, it is accompanied by innovation and miracles. From the beautiful song "Rank Red" on the Internet, to the stunning "Impression. Flowers and Boys" in reality, to the classic "Thrush" in the hearts of countless music fans, there is no time. Chu Yang has disappointed music fans.
Now, will he continue writing such a myth again with an erhu?
Chu Yang was holding the ordinary mahogany erhu. This was the Dunhuang brand erhu he asked Liu Rumei to help him buy in a famous folk music store in Yanjing. It was a very old brand, but it was not too expensive, only more than 2,000 yuan.
However, after his "modification" in the past two days, the quality of this erhu is already a top-notch handmade product that surpasses most famous masters. Using a Jindan music refining technique to modify an ordinary musical instrument is really a trivial matter for Chu Yang. He just slightly adjusted the tension of the skin and carved a few simple beautification and amplification arrays on the inside of the sound cylinder. This originally ordinary erhu has undergone a complete transformation.
Chu Yang held the erhu in his hand and sat down on a chair in the center of the stage.
Behind him, there was no pianist sitting in front of the huge grand piano, and there was also silence in the sound of the stage. There was no meaning of accompaniment coming out.
Looking at this stance, I actually want to perform without a cappella?
Duan Guosheng sat on the side of the stage and glanced at the erhu in Chu Yang's hand, with a look of contempt flashing in his eyes.
However, before his contempt was gone, Chu Yang, who was sitting quietly under the light, moved!
The right wrist suddenly pulled out. A decisive and clean sound head was suddenly pulled out, and then the left hand was pressed on the four fingers in the low position, and it fluctuated lightly. The sound suddenly became weaker and finally ended on bass 2. It was hard to tell!
This extremely short phrase is like a sigh, from heavy to light, and a few simple notes seem to express the unintentional bitterness!
For no reason, people who heard this melody suddenly felt sad, as if all kinds of tastes came to their hearts!
The judge Song Fei, who kept his right hand on his cheek and lowered his head as if he was casual, suddenly jumped after hearing this sound, and then quickly raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
"Erquan Yingyue"?
As soon as this very familiar melody came to my ears, Song Fei reacted.
But immediately she realized that something was wrong. This was not "Erquan Yingyue"!
Although the melody of this phrase is the introduction of "Erquan Yingyue" at the beginning, the rhythm is completely wrong. The accent used in the front and the vibrato removed afterwards, the processing of the ending sound is much weaker than the marking of the original song!
"Erquan Yingyue" is not like this!
Although the performers are allowed to have a certain degree of innovation when playing these famous songs. In the jargon, it is also based on the fact that it does not violate the basic structure, strength, speed, and expression of the music. Such changes are no longer called "second creation", but they are almost the same as being called adaptation!
"Adaptation?" When Song Fei thought of this word, he immediately thought of Chu Yang who was sitting in the middle of the stage and playing. It seemed that this guy liked adaptation very much!
Adapted to "Erquan Yingyue"?!
Song Fei was shocked by her own thoughts!
Before she could react, a crying and complaining sound penetrated into her ears!
There is no piano accompaniment, no yangqin accompaniment, no sheng, no flute... All the common accompaniment instruments in the erhu have not sounded, and there is only the ultimate erhu sound in my ears!
The sound is not soft or clean, but it is a bit hoarse and a little turbid. When Chu Yang changed his bow, especially when playing in some weak tunes, you can even hear the friction of the bow hair chords and the slight sound of hitting the piano tube.
However, these speakers did not destroy the beauty of the music at all, but instead made the erhu sound a little more realistic! Just like the friction sound when the hand stroked the strings when playing guitar, it had an authentic feeling!
The sound of the piano is like a thread, endlessly in the ears, like low complaints, like memories, like asking questions...
A dim, ancient color spreads in the faint sound of the erhu!
Song Fei no longer distinguished whether this was "Erquan Yingyue" or not, and no longer considered any adaptation techniques and sound effects. At this moment, she had already stared at the young man on the stage, and she glanced at the carelessness she had before, becoming extremely focused, and even a little obsessed!
In her opinion, the young man on the stage was not playing the erhu, but talking with the erhu.
No, it's not talking, it's talking!
There are traces of "Erquan Yingyue" in the melody, but it is deeper than "Erquan Yingyue", less miserable, more sigh, less perplexity, more fascination...
The erhu sound is like a dialogue that has traveled through time and space, paying tribute to the great erhu performer A Bing who has wandered all his life, and I also think it is communicating and talking with this great soul!
Chu Yang's legs are slightly separated, the erhu branch is at the base of the right leg, and the right hand is thrown and pulled, making it natural.
His eyes were closed slightly, his head was slightly tilted, and his whole body seemed to be thinking, or searching.
His movements of playing erhu are not standard, let alone any beauty. He is like an ordinary old man playing erhu on the street, feeling happy.
But in the eyes of big experts like Song Fei, this is not the case at all!
"Forget the skills, forget the skills..." Song Fei murmured in her mouth, looking at Chu Yang's movements, throwing and falling, and making a comeback, so leisurely and enjoying it!
She suddenly remembered her father, and the sentence her Erhu teacher said the most: "The highest level of Erhu playing is to forget the skills!"
She started learning erhu with her father at the age of seven. Since middle school, she has often participated in various folk music performance competitions across the country and won many awards. She has won awards many times in domestic and international competitions. She has visited all over the world for many years, especially as a representative of Chinese musicians, playing Chinese music in famous concert halls such as Carnegie Hall in the United States and Golden Concert Hall in Vienna, Austria. Now she is shrouded in many halos such as "contemporary famous erhu performer, educator, and national first-class actor". She is proficient in up to 13 string instruments such as huqin, guqin, and pipa. She is known as the "Queen of Folk Music".
It can be said that Song Fei’s achievements in the field of folk music are something that many folk music performers have never reached in their lifetime!
But even such a woman who was almost at the peak of Chinese folk music never touched the realm of "forgot the skills" in her father's mouth!
Her father, who was a professor at Haijin Conservatory of Music at the time, studied erhu all his life, but in his words, he spent his whole life and failed to achieve the state of "forgot the skills". This state was told by his teacher, the famous erhu player Yang Yinliu.
Song Fei still remembers that her father once told her that Master Yang never gave up on his pursuit and exploration of the last step when he was dying. He still missed that state when he was dying.
When Song Fei's father asked him what that realm was like, he just smiled and said lightly: "If A Bing is still alive, you will know when you go and listen to him play the piano once."
At that time, Yang Yinliu, Cao Anhe, Li Songshou, Dong Kuidi, Zhu Shikuang, five Erhu, Li Lao's lover Cao Zhiwei and Li Lao's father-in-law, jointly recorded the extremely precious original A Bing "Erquan Yingyue" with a steel wire recorder imported from abroad. After that, he talked to Song Fei's father more than once about his shocking mood at that time. Song Fei, who was still young at that time, was also extremely fascinated by the realm they mentioned.
Unfortunately, until now, she, who has become a great master of the generation, still has not touched the realm of "forgot skills". Her skills are extremely proficient and her performance is delicate and sincere, but the realm of "forgot skills" she yearns for seems to be separated from her by a layer of gauze and cannot be touched.
She always thought that that realm was fabricated by her father and his father's teacher, and there would be no such realm in the world. If you have exhausted all the skills and expression techniques of Erhu like yourself, it is already the highest realm of Erhu.
But at this moment, Song Fei finally stopped thinking so!
