Introduction to music
It has long been proved to be a misunderstanding that Debussy's vague and erratic way will make the whole structure difficult to distinguish. In fact, Debussy's precise design in his works really envied composers through the ages. On the contrary, he established a new structural form. Wherever his phrases go, they leave behind French traditions: Ming Che's timbre, light texture, elegant demeanor, natural, simple and cordial form.
Debussy is not the kind of composer who constructs his own world with the development of a theme. It's that he found the poetry in the world from the subtle connection between feeling and image, which of course includes the feeling he was looking for.
Debussy didn't give anything to the world at all, but captured something with his rare sensitivity. Thus, he formed his own unique poetic world. His piano works are perhaps the best proof. Explain what means an artist who really realizes the significance of color in the emotional world uses to make color look extremely exquisite and colorful.
Debussy's two piano preludes are almost the epitome of the characteristics of his piano works, and they are the epitome of style and technique. Among them, Debussy's hazy, mysterious and ethereal impressionist style and unique, novel and colorful harmony techniques can be embodied. For example, the diatonic technique in Sail, the hazy atmosphere in the sunken church, and the devilish technique in Fireworks are like 24 impressionist oil paintings with mottled colors. Debussy vividly shows colorful nature on paper with his unique brushwork.
Debussy's prelude consists of two episodes, each with 12 pieces of music, each with a title, but the composer did not write the title at the beginning, but wrote it in fine print at the end of the music. His original intention is to hope that the audience will not stick to the title when enjoying it. These preludes can also be said to be improvisational or fantasy works. It is Debussy's masterpiece to skillfully apply the piano skills they explored, discovered and founded.
The first volume of the prelude has 12 works:
1. Dancer Delphi showed the solemn dance in the religious ceremony of Apollo Temple in Delphi area with pure classical music, inspired by the sculpture impression on the Louvre column (the relief on the Greek vase).
2. Sailing and sailing, a foggy seascape: several small sailboats are moored on the sea, rippling back and forth, splashing waves, the horizon extending to the horizon, and endless silence. The distance between the two parts was three degrees, which was a very novel color at that time, as if it were an impression of being on cloud nine.
3. The Wind on the Yuan Ye, which is a high wind, is not strong, erratic and fleeting. The theme of the left hand is pentatonic scale.
4. Sound and fragrance in the evening air. In this piece of music, Debussy soaked the evening sky with beautiful voice and rich fragrance. Inspired by "Harmony in the Evening" in Baudelaire's poetry anthology "Flowers of Evil", the following is the first paragraph of this poem:
"At that time, the flowers are trembling in the branches.
Every flower is like a censer, emitting fragrance;
There is sound and fragrance in the evening breeze;
A melancholy waltz, lazy dizziness. "
5. "Anacapri Mountain", Anacapri is a small town on Capri Island in the Persian Gulf. At the beginning, the music was almost completely silent, but the last part of the music was as bright as a flame.
6. "Footprints in the Snow", some bleak music gives people a feeling of fatigue and load, just like walking in the snow, and every step has to be pulled out of the deep snow. Someone once asked: "These lonely footsteps; Where will people go? "
7. Looking at the West Wind, the "wind" in this piece is a destructive gale and a "hurricane" that can set off huge waves at sea. The music gives people a sense of shock and chaos.
8. The girl with flaxen hair, sweet and lyrical melody, reveals the youthful atmosphere of the girl. The title comes from a poem in L. Deryl's Song of Scotland. The original poem describes a Scottish girl singing a simple and innocent song in the early morning, with a charming and lovely tune and no worries.
9. "Interrupted Serenade", the music imitates the performance of the guitar and has a typical Spanish style. It seems that lovers lack self-confidence and sing a courtship song. The song is sarcastically interrupted somewhere, and then they sing it from the beginning in frustration until they finish it listlessly.
10. This sunken church was inspired by a cathedral in Brittany, which was flooded about 1500 years ago. It is said that when the morning sun shines on the sea, the church of a city that sank a long time ago will slowly rise out of the sea to warn those who don't believe in God. In the music, you can vaguely hear the church hymns and organ sounds, and of course the depth of the sea. Mainly a mysterious and far-reaching fantasy. At the beginning of the music, the submerged bell mixed on the calm water was expressed by a brisk performance. When the cathedral surfaced in the bell, the volume of the piano gradually increased, as if you could hear the roar of the organ and the grand singing of the hymn rising at this moment and echoing for a long time. Finally, everything disappeared in the waves.
1 1. Dance of the Elves Parker is a brisk and erratic elvish music, which is said to be inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
12. "Wandering Singer", the music is clear and cheerful, and it shows strangeness with a sense of humor. The "bard" here refers to an actor wearing a black hat, a painted face and a white tuxedo.
The image shows Debussy's amazing piano music skills and his imagination of keyboard. There are two episodes, each of which consists of three paragraphs. Both the purpose and the effect are very similar to the traditional sonata form.
Atlas 1 consists of three works, namely:
1. Reflection in the Water can be said to be one of Debussy's most impressionist piano works and one of the greatest piano works ever. These "reflections" are incomplete echoes, or the theme sounds and shapes are repeatedly distorted, just like Monet's painting Water Lily, which shows colors and shapes. The theme only includes three flat notes, and Debussy created an imaginative structural game around it. At first, it was a gentle keystroke, then it gradually strengthened into a whirlpool, and finally it was a suffocating stillness. Debussy used several bright chords and rapid arpeggios in succession here, showing the response of the auditory world to the reflection in the water. The theme of music is slow and heavy, swaying, swaying, like ripples that slow down several times. At the end of the music, the first three notes fall into the water. Music is empty and long, full of endless aftertaste and fantasy.
2. Salute to Mora is a solemn Salabande dance, elegant and noble, but full of passion and homesickness. This is a wonderful meditation, which shows Debussy's mature and innovative spirit. Mora is one of the world-renowned musicians in the history of French music, and a representative figure different from the German composer Gluck at that time. Debussy composed this song when revising Mora's score "Festival of Porini", which is not only a reverence for Mora himself, but also a reverence for the French national spirit. Perhaps only the French can feel the connotation of music as deeply as Debussy.
3. Exercise, also known as "endless exercise", is similar to touching a song, and ends the image of the first episode by challenging the player to touch the key. Debussy allowed notes to continue into the structure of sixteenth notes flowing, and made hymns emerge from the fog of pointillism. The music is cheerful and humorous, depicting some small animals such as bees constantly flapping their wings and flying around in the flowers and Woods, which is extremely flexible and free.
1903' s piano suite Sculptures is a milestone for Debussy to establish impressionist techniques in the piano field, and Debussy has entered a prosperous harvest period. As we all know, Debussy has made greater achievements on piano than orchestral music. He greatly expanded the expressive force of piano music and also greatly enriched the music library of piano music. This work still fascinates the audience with its implicit charm and elegant artistic conception.
The print consists of three ditties:
1. Inspired by China's music, the pagoda uses five tones to express the bell effect. The seventh chord and the fifth interval make the melody like a cloud of smoke, fresh and beautiful, with China charm. In the development of natural expressions, there are many contrasts between shade, Zhuang harmony and reality. At the climax, the colors are colorful, and at the roundabout, the fragrance floats. Finally, the music disappeared like running water ... It felt like walking around the beam for three days.
2. The Night of Granada is a Spanish folk genre painting, and it is said that the material of the work comes from Ravel. Granada is a city in southern Spain. This paper describes the sound of mandolin and the rhythm of Habanella dance music coming from afar at night arrival, showing the atmosphere and rich Spanish flavor of the night market wine field in Spain's Houxiang. It can be said that this piece of music is very short, but no one will forget it after listening to it.
3. The Garden in the Rain is adapted from two ancient French folk songs. Through the rapid changes of rain, clouds, sunshine and clear sky, it vividly depicts the rural scenery of France and the innocent image of children.
