Chapter 42 Erhu and Suona Ensemble

When the mellowness of the erhu and the high pitch of the suona were combined, Chen Ye suddenly felt that these two instruments were a match made in heaven.

It seems that when the two play together, they become a complete instrument.

This song "Relief of Sorrow" was originally a popular song for a period of time before the advent of blood, but what I didn't expect was that the old man Erhu could also perform the ensemble.

Although he understood, adapted and added it in the form of harmony...

Not only does it not feel inconsistent at all, but it also strengthens each part of the song, transforming the listening experience.

For a moment, Chen Ye felt that his mind was completely immersed in the performance of the suona.

As the melody of the old man Erhu gets faster and faster...

Like an auditory hallucination, Chen Ye actually felt that the erhu didn't just have one track, but multiple tracks combined!

He gradually felt that the suona in his hand became strenuous and he found it difficult to keep up with the old man's progress on the erhu.

The music became disjointed and difficult to integrate.

After struggling to play the entire song, the music suddenly stopped.

At this moment, the old man Erhu slowly stopped what he was doing and said with a smile:

"Do not worry……"

"The reason why a musical instrument requires a lot of practice is because enough muscle memory needs to be formed so that the sound can be unified and smooth."

"If you have to think and play at the same time, you will be distracted and unable to maintain emotional coherence, which will naturally lead to dispersion."

"However, initial thinking is essential. At this stage, you need to think about what music is suitable, how the tunes should be played, and what skills are not yet proficient enough..."

"When you get past this stage and develop enough muscle memory, you can enter a state of 'flow' when playing, so you won't be disturbed by anything."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, thinking carefully about what the old man Erhu said, nodded, and said:

"Keep practicing."

The two continued to play together.

When the song begins in the first half, the old erhu man will reduce his involvement in the song and let Chen Ye take the lead.

Just doing simple harmonies.

When the song reaches its climax, the erhu needs to take advantage of its timbre to bring about subversive changes to the entire song.

Therefore, the old man Erhu will not have any reservations at this time.

Whenever the performance reaches the climax, the suona in Chen Ye's hand seems to be filled with lead, and the familiar syllables become difficult to play, as if it is difficult to play in harmony with the music.

He took a deep breath and tried his best not to let the old man's erhu music affect his emotions, but to focus more on the emotional expression of the performance.

For the audience, emotional arousal is the most important, which requires the performer to use skillful techniques to promote it.

However, for Chen Ye, he must first find his emotions before he can express them well.

This is why in terms of creation, imitators can often be very similar, but still fail to become an excellent creator.

True creation requires personal expression, which requires finding yourself, rather than deliberately imitating or blindly following the rhythm of others.

Chen Ye gradually tried to separate himself from the techniques of songs and find his inner self.

Suddenly, he felt the suona in his hand loosen up, and the song became more melodious.

He was secretly surprised, obviously he didn't expect that such an unpleasant suona could be played by him with such a graceful tone?

Once you’ve mastered this technique…

Chen Ye suddenly realized how to play the suona correctly.

Gradually, slowly, I was able to keep up with the old man Erhu at the climax, and the melody of the entire song was transformed because of the suona, making it truly beautiful.

Even fellow performer Chen Ye was deeply moved by the melody.

At this time, his mind was empty, as if he had forgotten all his playing skills.

I just played the suona with the "flow", but the sound came out completely different, melodious and deeply rooted in people's hearts, and there was no mistake in the technical performance.

On the contrary, when Chen Ye had been struggling with the correctness of his techniques before, various small flaws frequently appeared, and he always felt that something was not perfect.

Although the current skills have not yet reached the level of perfection, with the promotion of "flow", some imperfections can be modified with small skills to ensure that there are no errors in the overall rhythm and direction.

Achieved the effect of not hiding the flaws.

This makes a piece of music more listenable.

finally.

The performance came to an end, and the music ended in a misty atmosphere with a distant and low mood.

The old man Erhu raised his head, looked at Chen Ye with a smile and said:

"Haha, boy, today's harvest should be quite big, right?"

Chen Ye gradually pulled away from the emotions brought by the music and returned to reality. He calmed down again, organized some thoughts in his mind, and then organized his words:

"Yes, I seem to understand how a musician should play."

"Human beings are human after all. It is impossible to achieve perfection, and it is impossible for every sound to be as precise as a machine."

"Technique is not a formula, it is just the expression of the player."

"But the expresser needs to know what he really wants to express in order to acquire real skills and make this 'expression' close to perfection."

"If you play just for the sake of technique, you will get further and further away from the essence of expression..."

When Chen Ye finished speaking, the feeling of "digestion" suddenly emerged again.

However, the digestion progress this time is much more obvious than last time.

At this moment, Chen Yeming realized where the place where he had never been able to break through before was.

After he had a preliminary understanding of music, he cared too much about whether the technique was correct, whether the note was right, and whether the rhythm was stuck on the beat...

However, as you think more and more, the content you want to "express" becomes more and more cumbersome.

In the end, it will be difficult to grasp anything, and the mentality will be fluctuated by technical mistakes during the performance, which will make you too nervous.

Just imagine……

When an expresser is too nervous, the content he expresses is also a manifestation of "imbalance" in this case.

Even if the distance "technique" is very accurate, the ups and downs caused by this "imbalance" will make people feel uncomfortable in terms of listening.

On the contrary, it is a state of complete relaxation, without too strict constraints caused by technique, allowing the melody and rhythm to return to freedom.

The effect of the performance has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Open the bloody phone again...
