As soon as the introduction music begins, people are brought into the dusk scene with the melodious music. Its theme is a tactful and moving barcarolle, and the various variations or twists and turns are like flowing water with splashing waves, nine consecutive melodies, flowing down, or like beauties dancing under the moon, or like gusts of breeze. Blowing ripples in the water. And its ending is better understood as the joyful sound of flutes, drums, singing, and oars slowly disappearing into the quiet night.
As far as musical instruments are concerned, the timbre of the piano is single, but different timbres can be produced through different playing methods, different key touches, different pedal usage, and sharp contrasts such as range and volume. association.
The piano piece "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is performed with the same tone fingering and repetition of the same tone. The intensity is from near to far and from far to near, simulating the pipa tone to describe the sound of Jianglou drums, and using decorative tones from slow to fast. , simulating the sound of a flute from slow to fast.
Although the piano version of "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" is also derived from the ancient pipa music, it uses variation techniques similar to those in Western composition techniques.
In terms of tempo arrangement, it follows the typical structural characteristics of traditional Chinese instrumental music "loose-slow-medium-fast-loose", which makes people naturally think of the titles "Jianglou Bells and Drums" and "Moon Moon". The music of "Up to the East Mountain", "The Wind Returns to the Wind", "Cascading Flower Shadows", "Deep Water Between Clouds", "Fishermen Singing Late", "Huilan Laps on the Shore", "Rail Ming Yuanze" and "Oh, Return to the Boat" The imagery is like traditional ink paintings describing landscapes.
The first "piece" of Jianglou bells and drums uses decorative sounds and pipa sounds to simulate the sound of Jianglou drums coming from afar, showing the sound from slow to fast, from weak to strong, and from strong to weak. melody. Then a flute-like melody was played, using trills and a series of crescendoing melody lines to depict a quiet and intoxicating scene of the sunset, the afterglow, and the boat floating on the river.
The second "piece" of "Moon on the East Mountain" is a soft melody like a wave. The beginning and end of the melody are connected with the same tone, and the theme tone is shifted up four degrees, just like the gentle, gentle tone in the painter's painting. Beautiful and varied lines.
The third "piece", the wind returns to the water, and the melody introduces new tones, the melody line becomes more ups and downs, and the sense of power is enhanced, just like the breeze blowing on the river, the water swirling, the stars twinkling, as if a picture has appeared Beautiful and touching picture.
The fourth "frame" is layered with flower shadows, in which speed, beat, melody, harmony, texture, etc. form different color contrasts before and after. The beginning of the tune has a loose rhythm. After the slow melody line progresses, the rhythm gradually speeds up and a faster cadenza is played, which refreshes the atmosphere and is in sharp contrast to the tranquil artistic conception shown before, just like a gust of evening breeze blowing. The shadows of flowers in the water sway with the waves, cascading in confusion.
The fifth "piece" is deep between the water and the clouds. This piece of music uses different registers and timbres to form a sharp color contrast, which reminds people of the evening scene on the river where the water and sky are the same color. The music first swirls in the rich mid-bass like chimes, which reminds people of the turbid and continuous waves of the river. Then a series of melodies with ornamental tones imitate the pipa sound to produce an elegant sound. The bright colors are like water birds flying and chirping in the clouds, sometimes soaring in the high sky, free and full of vitality.
The sixth "piece" is a late fisherman's song, and its melody means "the pen breaks the connection between the meaning". The right hand expresses a slightly faster melody, followed by a long series of ups and downs of flowing notes. The left hand intersperses a triplet of 32nd notes in the last half of the measure, and then a double tone of the second and third degrees that crosses an octave higher, like The small fish are playing in the water. At this time, the right-hand melody leaves a rest of eight points with the same value. This gap makes the melody appear interesting and lively, just like the blank space in the picture, with the rhythm of continuous breaks of sound and breath.
The seventh "frame" of waves lapping the shore changes in rhythm from far to near, from slow to fast, and from slow to fast, like a picture lens. The music gradually speeds up, as if many boats are racing back, with waves pushing and slowing, and the rhythmic waves rolling in to form a magnificent landscape of rolling waves lapping the shore.
The eighth "panel" is by Toze, whose texture, melody and performance allow people to experience different musical images and three-dimensional musical layers. For example, the pipa sound of the left hand and the decorative sound of the right hand form two parts and two melody lines. The fingers use different touch strength and touch position to form a distinct two-layer music line, depicting the rhythmic strokes of the oars and the waves on the water. The water ripples are vivid and vivid.
The ninth "piece" is about returning to the boat. This is the climax of the whole song, and the emotion reaches its peak.
The fast 32nd notes in the right hand form the background of the sound of water lapping against the rocks, and the horizontal melody in the left hand marches like the cheerful singing of returning fishermen, which constitutes the melody and the praise of a good country.
At the end of the tenth "frame", the theme melody changes and reappears, a free adagio, quiet and elegant. The boiling sound of flutes, drums, oars, and water waves slowly disappeared into the quiet night. A series of broken chords of 5-tuplet and 7-tuplet show a quiet three-dimensional picture of a bright moon passing through the mist and the river bank covered with silver light.
On the basis of maintaining the charm of the original song, the piano piece "Sunset Flute and Drum" cancels the subtitle in the original song, uses our country's traditional composition techniques of variation, development and circulation principles, and adopts our country's unique composition method. The free variation - refrain form forms a coherent overall structure. The mood of the whole song gradually changes and expands, enhancing the contrast between strength and speed. This is just like Chinese freehand ink painting, which pursues not rough brushstrokes, but delicate rendering. and polish.
