dulcimer playing notation

dulcimer, also known as dulcimer, harpsichord, brass piano, fan piano, bat piano, butterfly piano and stringed instrument. Dulcimer is an indispensable instrument in Chinese national bands. Below, I collected and sorted out the notation of dulcimer performance for your reference.

1. The notation of musical notation makes the dulcimer have a relatively fixed phoneme.

The notation of musical notation is to add dots above and below each note to indicate the pitch change. Because there are only seven different phoneme symbols in the notation, that is, "1234567", there is no difference in notation except that "1: c, 1: d, ……" is marked in front of the music. Here, the bass "1" in C key and the bass "1" in G key are the same concept. The differences of sound groups, sound zones and the characteristics between sound zones do not exist in the eyes of the players, at least they cause some confusion. This phenomenon has undoubtedly caused the players' understanding of music works and limitations in music performance.

2. The notation of musical notation confuses the concept of tone sandhi

Due to the need of musical expression, many dulcimer songs have tone sandhi, especially in the unfolding part of the music. For the player, although the note symbols are the same, different keys will inevitably lead to the change of dulcimer phonemes. Here, the player must quickly change the concept of pitch position and tonality. The "sameness" of phonology and the "difference" of phonology of dulcimer lead to confusion of players' thinking, which often makes players adjust their feelings in an extremely contradictory dilemma, which not only adds unnecessary burden to players, but also makes it difficult to properly express the content of music.

3. The notation of notation is not synchronized with the teaching of other theoretical courses

In the investigation of basic music theory and solfeggio in China's music and art colleges and music departments of Normal University, the notation of staff is used for teaching, and notation of notation is only used as an auxiliary means. This is not only because the notation of staff is the "universal language" for the exchange of world music culture, but also more accurate and reasonable than the notation method in science. For example, the notation of staccato symbols is generally in three forms in the staff: < P > The performance characteristics of these three symbols can be clearly expressed in the staff. However, the notation can only use the first symbol, and the second and third symbols cannot be used because they are confused with the high notes of the notation. There are still many such "regrets". In order to be consistent with the teaching of theoretical courses, it is imperative to reform the notation method. ;
