Guqin Finger-Chanting (1)

This is the 69th article I wrote. )

When a famous player plays Guan Shanyue, his right hand plays "plucking the strings", while his left hand can always "recite", while my left hand can only stand still. This is the skill. I don't know when I can master the skills of "Yin" and "Yi".

Teacher Gong Yi said that these skills are usually taught later, fearing that students will get into trouble if they don't master them well. In that case, I don't have to worry about studying.

? There are many kinds of songs, but generally speaking, they all swing from side to side within a phoneme.

Copy down the definition in the book first:

Tone: press the string with your left hand and swing around the phoneme quickly with your right hand. In the traditional "sound" method, after winning the sound, there are two or three small swings with fixed rhythm on the right or left side of the phoneme.

Lin: After the left hand presses the string and the right hand plays the string, the phoneme swings greatly on both sides. "Lin" is often changed to "soft", which has the same meaning.

So the difference between the two is the size of the swing.

But Teacher Gong Yi said that the amplitude of the swing is different from the rhythm of the swing.

The Mei 'an school swings a lot, reaching three or four centimeters or more. Guangling school is generally smaller.

And swing position and rhythm form, some on the left; Some are on the right; Others regularly swing to the left or right; There are also two kinds of swings, fast and slow, from five centimeters to four centimeters to three centimeters and one centimeter, of which there are about two points; And Ding Yin.

However, because the intonation of guqin is relatively high (compared with erhu and violin, we can know this), it doesn't matter whether it is higher or lower, it is within a certain tone range, but the ears are sensitive enough to hear whether it is high or low. These are not the main problems of the progress of the song, and it is not a big problem to sing more.

What's more, if it is a large scale, it is not a matter of tone, but a matter of scale. Twelve centimeters is a minor, also called intonation, but strictly speaking it is a scale.

For example, the title of "Wild Goose in Pingsha" is "Lin", but a teacher swings greatly and the scale changes greatly. This changes with people, which is normal. It is harmless and unnecessary to care about what it should be.

But Teacher Gong Yi also said that when learning from a teacher, it is best to learn exactly the same, just like painting and copying, and then pay attention to personal creation.
