play the piano
The strings and air wait for the harp and harp. Du You's Tong Dian in the Tang Dynasty: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made musicians listen to a lot of music ... Today, according to its shape, it is as small as a harp and has seven strings, which is like plucking a pipa." This is a kind of lyre. Judging from the brick books in the Wei and Jin tombs in Jiayuguan, Gansu, there are no pillars on the panel. Vertical graceful, introduced from the Western Regions in Han Dynasty, was later called "Hu graceful". "Sui Shu Yueji" records: "Today's music is a vertical pipa, and it comes from the western regions, not a musical instrument of China."
Judging from the vertical crates depicted in a large number of ancient performance images, and the remains of lacquer crates and mother-of-pearl preserved in Masakura, Nara, Japan, its speakers are set on curved wood that bends upward. The shape of the phoenix head is similar to the vertical head, and it is often named after the phoenix head as decoration. Its sound box is located at the lower part of the crossbar, and the upward bending wood is provided with or plays the role of tightening the strings. For example, Le Tang Shu said: "The crested phoenix has many twists and turns, and there is something like twisting", while Du You's Tongdian said: "The crested phoenix has many twists and turns, and the crested phoenix has twists and turns". Whether there are images or not, we can see them in Dunhuang mural books. After being introduced from India, the phoenix head was regarded as Tianzhu music in Yan music in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Until the Song Dynasty, there were still many beautiful dances in Le Shu, which were lost after the Ming Dynasty.
According to research, it has a history of more than two thousand years. In ancient times, cricket was not only used by court bands, but also widely spread among the people. During China's prosperous Tang Dynasty (6 18-907), with the rapid development of economy and culture, the art of piano performance reached a fairly high level, that is, during this period, China's ancient piano performance was first introduced to neighboring countries such as Japan and North Korea. Two remnants of the Tang Dynasty are still preserved in the temple of Toda Temple in Nara, Japan. However, this ancient musical instrument has been out of fashion since the late14th century, so that it gradually disappeared. People can only see some beautiful patterns on the previous murals and reliefs.
Elegant and Guzheng Appreciation of ancient elegance can be roughly divided into vertical elegance and lying elegance. Among them, the early lying elegance of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period is the same as that of guqin, but its long sounding box panel has the taste of pipa. To pluck or knock with bamboo. However, the vertical cymbals evolved from the bow of ancient hunters. It is the oldest stringed instrument born with the birth of the earliest civilization of mankind, with a history of more than 5,000 years. An instrument older than this? I'm afraid there are more fingers standing up: stone whistle, bone whistle, bone flute, company,. At the latest in 1200 BC, the vertical basket had basically been shaped (there had been no big change for two thousand years), and it was later introduced to Central Asia and India through Persia, and it was popular in Xinjiang before the Qin Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the western regions, the harp slowly spread to the Central Plains-in fact, it spread to China in the east and Europe in the west, and was called the harp. It was only in modern times that we in China decided on a translation of "Harp".
Phoenix's culture is also a world-wide culture, from China to the vast areas of Europe. Phoenix, golden winged bird and fairy bird are all hers.
At present, modulation is not an antique. In fact, since the 1970s, Chinese musical instrument reformers have combined the harp and guzheng (some of which are pipa and guqin) to create new musical instruments. Its playing techniques are mainly based on the playing techniques of various national plucked instruments, and draw lessons from the playing techniques of the harp: sitting posture, placing a box on the chest, and playing the strings on both sides with both hands, which is equivalent to two harps because of homophonic double strings, which is quite convenient for playing fast melodies and overtones; You can also play melody and accompaniment at the same time, without interfering with each other, and the harmony is rich in color. Because the tension of the left and right double-row strings is always equal through the clever connection between the balance shaft and the balance bar at the bottom of the piano, you can also pluck with your left hand, and use the techniques of kneading, sliding, pressing and trembling in a wide range (small third interval) with your right hand, and you can also play overtones, fingers shaking, wheel fingers and various timbre changes. The kneading and pressing techniques can be used in overtone melodies ....... Looking ahead, the potential of emerging musical instruments in our country is
Elegance differs from the harp in several features: the harp has a Dan Xian, and the harp has two strings; Harp long box-shaped sound box, pipa-shaped sound box; The side of the harp box is bare, and there is a row of goose pillars around the harp box; Harp columns are cylindrical, and harp columns are generally square columns. In addition, as a decoration, those with crests at the top of the piano column must be elegant.
To be exact, the * * * box of the harp is a narrow trapezoid with a straight edge, and the lower ends of the strings are directly connected to the inclined plane of the * * * box, while the double-sided pipa-shaped * * box of the harp is larger, and the side is vertical, and the strings are pressed against the goose column and connected to the lower end of the * * * box-it is really easy to see the harp from a distance.
More specifically, the harp resonance box is wide in the left and right direction and narrow in the up and down direction, that is, it is relatively flat, which is called "horizontal"; * * * The speaker is narrow in the left-right direction and wide in the up-and-down direction, that is, it is flat on the side, which is the so-called "vertical". The difference between them comes from the respective requirements of single-row string and double-row string. In this way, from the front, the left and right sides of the harp resonance box obviously protrude from the lower part of the harp body, like the sides of a ship; From the front, the graceful pipa-shaped sound box is as wide as a cattail leaf fan; From the front, they are similar in shape, but the lower end of the harp box will be blocked by the column, and its lower left corner or lower right corner will be exposed on the other side of the column, while the radians of the upper edge and the lower edge of the harp box are different-the upper edge generally has a soft curve, and the lower edge is generally a straight protective strip; Some * * * resonance boxes protrude in the direction of the piano column, and the lower end of the piano column is "inserted" on the * * * resonance box.
The meaning of "harp"
Ancient harp, including China's harp, refers to the harp before the modern reform. Whether it is called, harp or Zou, it is a different name for the same instrument in different places.
Second, the modern harp, especially the western harp.
Third, all kinds of harp instruments of all nationalities in the world are varied and strange.
The meaning of "elegance"
Lying in ancient times, because there was no lying in ancient times, this meaning usually only appeared in a few ancient books;
The ancient vertical basket is the Chinese name given to Cank by our ancestors, which is equivalent to the first meaning of "harp"; In fact, when the East spread to China and the West spread to Europe, it was called the harp. It's just that we in China have decided a translation of "Harp" in modern times.
Modern elegance is a new musical instrument combining harp and guzheng, or an improved type of harp: two-string harp. With the development of modern time, the word "time" now refers to modern time more and more.
The harp was introduced from the west, and the pipa was also introduced from the western regions. The combination of harp and traditional instrument guzheng gave birth to modern piano, and the combination of qu pipa and traditional straight pipa became pipa.
In fact, it is because the strength of the western piano is deeply timid. On the premise of belonging to the same national musical instrument, the more expressive it is, the more it is favored by the Milky Way. The ability to express melody and harmony is also very strong, coupled with the charm of the timbre of vertical stringed instruments, it is gorgeous as a whole.
Follow the law of twelve averages, and set the chord in C major to seven tones-although the seven-tone string spans a long time, it may take a little more time to play the melody with great pitch change than the five-tone string, and the maximum interval of one hand is also smaller, which is not as smooth as the five-tone string in expressing the melody, but the five-tone melody can be played directly on the seven-tone string with one hand, but it must be played on the five-tone string. After all, there are much more melodies of seven tones than five tones.
In terms of range, large majors use more than six octaves or even seven octaves? However, the average swing is still five octaves.
Compare the timbre of harp and harp: the sound of harp seems to be emitted from underwater, and the whole water surface absorbs some scattered energy, which is relatively pure, soft and stable; The gentle and graceful sound seems to come from the transparent water surface, even the water surface is shaking slightly, clear, floating and drifting. Compare the timbre of cricket and guzheng: guzheng is more mellow and far away, and it is easier to blend, just like the green water in the lotus pond overnight; Clearer and more ethereal, more vivid, like the sound of snow-capped mountains and clear springs.
In terms of techniques, it is based on the harp, supplemented by national musical instruments such as guzheng, and then developed.
The technical differences between water chestnut and harp are as follows: water chestnut has more vibrato techniques (guzheng), which brings more charm changes; It is more convenient to play fast melodies and overtones with double strings of the same degree, and you can play melodies with both hands at the same time.
The left and right hands can play melody and accompaniment at the same time without interfering with each other, which enhances harmony and polyphony; The kneading area and plucking area are integrated with each other, so it is very convenient to switch between kneading and plucking techniques, and the harmony color is also richer. Even after two different fingers pluck strings with different pitches at the same time, they can show each other the skills of kneading strings with their corresponding fingers. Because the two hands are independent of each other, unlike the two fingers of one hand, the string kneading technique displayed by both hands at the same time can have greater combination possibilities. The left and right rows of strings completely surround the * * * speaker, and there is no general harp hand patting the * * * speaker; There is an atonal area under the string column, which is more "scraping" than the general harp.
