Old-time musicians

At this time, Fanning saw An gently touching his face with his sleeve.

He stopped playing for a moment and raised his head to make an inquiring expression.

The girl, still smiling cheerfully, was nodding and winking at him.

"Winter!——"

So Fanning lowered his left hand, which had been placed on the octave E key in the bass area.

Summer (six), "Holy River".

The slow bass of whole notes and half notes was like the heavy knocking of church bells again and again.

Then he played a dotted rhythm melody with alternating long and short notes with his right hand, first from top to bottom, and then swirling up again, like waves on the river.

"In the sparkling waves of the Holy River,

the towering towers of the cathedral are reflected.

There is a portrait in the church,

painted on a golden cloth,

in the desert of my life,

its brilliance often illuminates me."

It is also a confession of love in summer, but the mood is no longer as drunken and passionate as before.

The tone of this song is solemn and admiring.

The melody sung by Ann has a moderate range, with restrained ups and downs, and almost no temporary rises and falls.

But for some reason, in the first eight bars, Fanning heard her voice tremble a few times imperceptibly.

This has never happened in the long-term tug-of-war competition before.

Then it slowly recovered its previous stable and clear texture.

The low accompaniment of the piano octave renders a majestic and magnificent city, and pictures emerge from the minds of the audience. As the singing progresses, the music gradually turns into a major key, and the sacred worship turns into delicate whispers and admiration.

"Beside the holy image I admire,

flowers bloom, angels fly;

and the eyebrows, lips and cheeks,

are exactly the same as the one I love!"

The dotted melody, guided by the slurs of Fanning's fingers, makes the river flow with slight ups and downs and a more tranquil image gradually fade away.

"Have you noticed that all the songs in this set are so short?"

"Indeed, the first song is just over a minute long, which is already very short, and there are only a few dozen seconds later! This two-minute song is already the longest..."

When hearing the sixth song, some judges began to realize this.

"But have you noticed that his piano suffix is ​​very important? After the singing is finished, the accompaniment is no longer an accompaniment but a solo... The piano continues to render the background of the work, as a supplement to the form, or even a summary of the whole work, which makes up for the problem that the audience feels that they are not satisfied..."

"So the time is short, but the amount of information is not small. This Scheler does not repeat meaningless melodies or lyrics at all. There are new musical materials or new emotional changes every second!"

They took advantage of the long interval at the end of the sixth song to communicate quietly with the people around them.

"I feel that many songs written by others are no longer listenable"

"This suite is completely different from "The Beautiful Miller Girl". It is not connected by narrative logic, but emotional logic!"

"Yes, its text is completely for the service of emotions. I have never been overwhelmed by such strong emotions!"

The audience also commented and expressed their feelings.

The text of "The Poet's Love" comes from Heine's collection of poems "Lyrical Interludes". From the word "interlude", we can see that each of its poems is very short, and it is not intended to present a concrete plot, but to use symbols, plain descriptions or lyrical techniques to achieve great emotional appeal.

Everything serves emotions.

Schumann obviously grasped this feature accurately. He chose the full score form and single-section form in the form structure. He rarely used repeated melodies with the same lyrics, and did not distinguish between "main song" and "chorus".

In other words, the material has been presented, the emotions have been released, and it should end when it should end. It's only a few seconds! It's not like some crappy composers and lyricists who continue to repeat or insert interludes unnecessarily to make it up to three or four minutes!

This extremely free and extremely concise emotional expression undoubtedly hit the aesthetic hearts of these southern people.

Fanning's right hand began to strike a series of C major column chords.

The bass area enters a low octave of two beats per note, and against this backdrop, the right hand keeps hitting out a continuous "bang bang bang" sound.

"Even if my heart is broken, I don't hate it!

Even if my heart is broken, I don't hate it!

Love disappears forever, I don't hate it!

Although the jewels shine and give glory, there is no light that can penetrate your dark heart..."

Summer (VII), "I Don't Hate You Even If My Heart Is Broken".

The simple C major, Miss Nightingale sang it with a feeling of sadness but not hurt.

Especially in the prolonged "Herz——" (heart) syllable, the melody has a special, slightly depressed temporary A flat sound. When she sang here, she smiled freely on her face, but her eyelashes were sparkling, and the audience who were heartbroken suffered.

"Even if my heart is broken, I don't hate it!

I really dreamed of you, saw the dark night in your heart, and saw the poisonous snake biting your heart;

I have seen it, how sad it is,

but I don't hate it!"

The texture of this song is very special, and the whole song is performed with the sound of the right hand hitting.

The block chords with “\u003e” accent marks under Fanning’s fingers are like a hammer that keeps hitting, and will not stop until it breaks the poet’s heart!

This kind of music processing method makes some listeners who are sensitive, prone to sadness or have a feeling of compassion, and they can't wait to lift Scheele from the piano and ask him why he is so decisive and ruthless!

Fortunately, this song also ended quickly. Fan Ning used a shaking technique to press the pedal, and then played a very light and fast thirty-second tone group with repeated unison with both hands.

The last song of summer, "If That Little Flower Knew".

The smooth and crisp tremolo under his fingertips was like stars in the sky, twinkling and emitting a faint light.

Then the girl followed the hidden legato lines and sang a delicate, weak and beautiful ballad:

"If Xiaohua knew how much my heart was hurt,

They will cry with me and ease my pain.

If only the nightingale knew how sad I am,

They cheer me up and make me sing.

If the golden stars knew my pain,

They will come down from heaven and speak words of comfort to me——"

Flowers, nightingales, stars, these ordinary things have all become "small and fragile" things in the eyes of the poet, which shows how fragile and sensitive his state is at this time.

But when the vocal melody was about to end, under Fan Ning's running fingertips, five special strong marks (SF) were suddenly played without warning, as if the protagonist's grief and anger were erupting like a volcano at this moment. !

"It's a pity that they don't know!

Only one person understands my sadness,

It was she who took my heart,

Tear it in half!

! "

Listening to Miss Nightingale singing the last verse, many audience members could not help but close their eyes and look up, lean back in their seats, open their mouths slightly, and breathe in the air while gasping.

Scheler's ability to mobilize emotions really made people uncomfortable...

No matter what happens with the previous "Beautiful Mill Girl", at least the 11th song "Belong to Me" in the middle, the music and poetry content is still very happy and joyful.

We've only reached the 8th song "Summer" and it's like this. Who knows what he can do next! ?

In fact, "The Poet's Love" was very subtle during Schumann's creative period. 1840 was the year of love when he and Clara entered into marriage and a fruitful year of music creation, so many people took it for granted that this work was "A crystallization of inspiration filled with happiness and joy"...

But in fact, the two got married in September, and this work was completed in May. It was the time when Schumann was separated from his lover, their reunion was uncertain, there was a lot of resistance from the outside world, and he was in the most torment and pain in his heart!

It is completely conceivable that a pessimistic, melancholic and sensitive artist would be worried about gains and losses when creating this work, and would put himself into a rough and poignant situation.

Autumn is coming, the ninth song, "The flute is playing, the sound of the piano is melodious".

"Winter—dongdongdong—" "Winter—dongdongdong—"

It sounds like a "solo version" of a waltz work. As soon as the music in 3/8 time begins, Fan Ning's right hand plays up and down sixteenth notes in the high range, while his left hand plays a rich Column chords create a distinctive dance rhythm.

"The flute is playing, the violin is melodious,

The trumpets all sounded;

At the wedding dance she danced,

She is all the love in my heart. "

This is a dance music depicting a wedding scene. The smooth running single-note melody lines at the top are like the music played by flutes and violins, while the lower parts seem to make people hear the drum sound of "Dongdongdong".

But the key is D minor with a dark color.

Unlike the accompaniment melody that flows up and down, Miss Nightingale's vocals rise and fall but are not active, and the rhythm and range are always within a restrained range.

The flames danced in the air, and the musical instruments were intertwined. It was so lively and joyful.

The human voice never blends into the accompaniment, and is in a state of being separated from the excitement.

"The bells are ringing, the trumpets are roaring,

The double yellow pipes are blowing, the drums are beating,

The cute little angel in the noise...

But quietly wept and shed tears. "

Miss Nightingale was still smiling, but there were two shallow traces on her cheeks, which were clear and clear under the reflection of the stage lights.

In the music written by the teacher, is the poet who sings the ballad and the poet who attends the ball really the host of the wedding?

The flute is playing, the piano is melodious, and the trumpets and drums are ringing. The audience feels that their thoughts are rising from the banquet.

They seemed to smell the perfume of the event and the smell of burning fire, heard the bells ringing on New Year's Eve, and saw the beautiful fireworks blooming in the night sky and the people running and dancing pulling colorful ribbons.

But this has nothing to do with yourself.

The cute little angel is sobbing...

"What should I do? She seems to be really crying!"

"It's just a competition. You can come again next year. Miss Nightingale is still so young."

Music fans were really stunned when they saw the tears on the girl's face.

Many people re-grabbed the extinguished bouquets that they had broken off long ago, shaking them in vain with pity and regret.

There are even many judges doing this action.

At the end, the exhausted vocals melted away in the music, but Fan Ning's hands still played the cheerful waltz, and gradually turned into a descending sweet chromatic whirlwind.

"You have never participated in it, how do you know how important it is to her?"

"What did Scheler write about? I'm really convinced..."

"I want you to vote with me. You were so excited to listen to the pornographic songs. Why are you pretending to regret when the show is almost over?"

"It's all your fault for making the lovely Miss Nightingale cry!

!"

The giant open-air opera hall, which had always been warm but polite, gradually began to hear voices of discussion and quarrel after the 9th sad song "The Flute is Playing, the Piano is Melodious".

The music naturally did not stop.

Fanning's accompaniment changed from the previous warm and smooth to scattered, tangled, slow and weak. Miss Nightingale was still singing. Although her tears were not dry, she still had a calm and cheerful smile on her face, and she carefully performed every instruction given by the teacher on the score.

In the song "When I Hear the Lover's Song", the poet heard a ballad that his lover had sung before, and his lovesickness suddenly broke out like a broken dam, and his full of sorrow turned into tears. In "A Boy Falls in Love with a Girl", the poet narrates a folk story with a sarcastic attitude to show that lovers will regret missing such a good self, but this irony is precisely the proof of the poet's fragile and broken heart.

So it comes to the last autumn song "On a Sunny Garden Morning".

Fanning continues to play the falling sixteenth notes in the upper voice, and then continues with the long-duration dotted quarter notes, just like the morning dew condensing and swirling on the leaves, and then finally falling to the ground at a certain moment, turning into a pool of crystal clear water.

"On a sunny morning, I walked in the garden,

The flowers kept dripping, and I was still walking quietly,

The flowers kept dripping, looking at me with sympathy:

'Don't be angry with our sisters, you pale and melancholy boy'!"

This song depicts the poet walking in the garden in the morning, trying to forget his former lover.

The last autumn day.

Miss Nightingale's voice was small and light, like a low self-narration, with a combination of gradually increasing and decreasing strengths, as if colorful flowers were whispering, pitying the poet's unrequited tragic love.

Since the ninth song, intermittent sighs and quarrels have been heard from the audience.

The content is similar.

Master Rückert has not raised his head for a long time.

He has been staring at the table with his forehead supported by the hand holding the pen. With a complex and regretful mood, he feels that the whole person is being pulled by an invisible heavy net and can't raise his neck.

Until the exclamations scattered in the distance interrupted the chattering complaints of the crowd, and suddenly pierced into the piano and singing.

"Why is it starting to light up again?"

"Mine too! What's going on!?"

"All are lit, all are lighting up!

!"

Before the singing stopped, Rückert stood up.

All 48 judges stood up.

Miss Renilla, who had been waiting for the show to end while yawning and bored, stood up with her body burning in flames and looked down at the stage with a shocked look on her face.

The seats and the ground, which were originally dark and only allowed one to occasionally see the corners of the audience's brightly colored clothes, all the bouquets that everyone had discarded or held in their hands were glowing again!

It was not the red that was distributed at the beginning, but just bright white at first.

But then it gradually took on a very small amount of light yellow.

At first glance, it was like a vast glimmer of light in the starry sky in the dark night!
