HUGE BIG REMINDER: 31 DAYS TO SYF! like, omg, 1 month.okay i will go into the details.
molou
-do not come in with 音头 (soft first)
-bar 5 渐强
-take note of changed 弓法 (bars 3-7, 12-15)
-收弓要安静 (we were extremely noisy during rehearsal)
-take note of 颤弓音准 (esp erhu)
-bar 23 渐弱->轻
-bar 23-24, NO 揉弦
-慢板don't 偏高 #remember the changes -> gaohu+zhonghu play erhu 旋律
-remember the changes in 弓法 (343#2 连弓 etc.)
-the lower D调 part has been cancelled
-音准, esp
3 (F#)
-换气at each phrase
-bar 154 激动, move弓faster
-8/5拍, please please count your拍子properly
-音头at the
6666 part (remember to come in after 定音鼓)
chan ge -front part 音准 (zhonghu 6 1--, erhu 2 3--/ 5 6--/ 3 5--)
-must be clear, avoid 杂音
-when playing the second note, must place the second finger right next to the first finger so that the滑音 can be 连贯
-bar 43-44/ bar 47-50: 1) remember the changes in 弓法
2) 3 56 play soft, then gradually move弓 faster
3) bar 43, 1235 渐强
4) bar 49-50 DO NOT 揉弦
-快板: please please look at LLS for cues and listen to 铝板琴 (listen to daji in general)
-bar 66-80: FULL 弓, LOUD. -> we weren't loud enough during rehearsal, so the rhythm loses its "piercing" effect
-the 旋律 part: not 优美enough, we have to
MOVE and keep our 弓steady
-bar 81: move your 弓faster, we tend to 拖拍
-bar 82 onwards (16 fen) DO NOT 赶拍,
PLEASE LISTEN TO 吹管-last 3 bars (颤弓), slow down with 定音鼓
general -more expression is needed (i.e. 效果, 味道)
1) quoting ZLS: 要模仿,想象
-> we have to make a conscious effort to try and interpret the pieces, esp molou
(translated from ZLS)
molou: not exactly expressing sadness, more like about how a person triumphs over the desert, bravery in face of adversity. (e.g. tanbo 拨弦parts resemble the creatures of the desert..)
chan ge: we have to basically make our music sound like cicadas.
parts that are supposed to be soft and light (e.g. bar 18 etc) should have a great contrast with the loud and heavy parts (e.g. bar 66 etc)
2) dynamics contrast not clear
-> there are many parts within chan ge and molou that loud and soft cannot be distinguished, 对比 is important
-> please take note of the 渐强 and 渐弱 parts, they really contribute to the effect
OTHERWISE OUR MUSIC
比白开水还白(quoting LLS)
3) MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE and please don't stone when you play
and listen to other 声部s
-posture1) SIT UP STRAIGHT. and look at LLS.
-> during rehearsal everybody slouched and it looked very very ugly: will leave the judges with a bad impression
2) stop tapping your foot with the beat
-> it looks very obvious. try and count in your heart (:
3) right foot in front of left foot
-> this should have been the case from day1 praccing
4) holding your hu
-> THUMB UP
-> make sure your 一把 isn't too low
5) holding your 弓
-> DO NOT STIFFEN YOUR WRIST: it will be extremely tough to play, esp the 16fens in chan ge
okay i know it's been very tough, extra prac, intensive xiaozus dazus and all, but still cannot stress enough how short of time we are, 31 days is very little time!
please put in extra efffort esp for this period of time, i'm sure everyone wants to see their efforts pay off. but remember, you're not alone cos there are 25 more people in xianyue chionging with you (:
JIAYOU!
love, me(:
