Music phrase is the basic form of music with characteristics.
Music phrases are composed of musical motives, sections, phrasing and other elements. A motive refers to a note combination composed of a few tones, usually including only one heavy beat, and is the smallest basic unit in the musical form structure; a section is composed of two motives and is a musical form unit one level higher than the motive; points A sentence is a musical form unit that is one level higher than a musical section and is composed of 2 musical sections or 4 motives. The focus of the clause usually falls on the second motive.
A musical phrase consists of two clauses, usually divided into preposition and postposition, which can express a relatively complete musical idea. A musical phrase can start from any chord and end with any chord. It expresses the specific atmosphere of a piece of music and has its own characteristics, but the concept is not complete, so a single phrase usually cannot constitute an independent piece of music. Several phrases make up a section.
Notes on playing phrases:
1. Change your breath between sentences. When playing, you usually divide them by lifting the handle. Do not put all the sentences together. Bounced together into one piece.
2. The final sound at the end of the sentence should generally be played softly. If the final sound at the end of the sentence is played too hard, it will inevitably feel top-heavy.
3. The logical relationship and strength relationship between sentences should be clarified, and the intensity of contrasting sentences should be changed. If the intensity is the same, there will be no comparison.
4. You can make strong and weak fluctuations within the sentence, but you cannot play certain sounds too hard or too soft, causing these sounds to be separated from the sentence itself.
5. When playing staccato or sentences with rests in the middle, you should still pay attention to the relationship between the preceding and following sounds, play the melody line, and do not play the sentence into pieces.
