Chapter 38 Modern Piano Fingering (For Sanjiang Tickets)
——Haha, before the great masters have exerted their efforts, Sanjiang is currently number one. Thank you all and ask for your continued support~………………………………………………………………

After confirming the instrument Lucien was going to learn, Victor stood up from the sofa and clapped his hands: "Just two days ago, Mr. Rhine and Mr. Xavier completed the renovation of the harpsichord. Lucien, what are you doing today?"
Just follow me to try its effect, haha, because its timbre, volume and range are far beyond my imagination, even better than all other instruments, but the sound quality is slightly worse, so I think it
It is no longer a harpsichord, but a brand-new, revolutionary instrument. Lucien, you can really start your own musical journey from this brand-new instrument."
It can be clearly seen that Victor is very satisfied with the results of the harpsichord transformation. He usually just smiles, but he is good at maintaining his grace and is full of bright smiles.
"Since it is a brand new, revolutionary instrument, it should be given a formal name by Mr. Victor who suggested improvements." Lott complimented with a smile on the way to the piano room on the second floor.
Victor glanced at Lucien and asked with a kind smile: "Lucien, what do you think it should be called? You also have a lot of credit for this brand-new instrument. Why don't you give us your opinion? Let's take it as a reference. Rhine
The gentleman feels that the mechanical structure of this instrument is the most complex of all instruments, fully embodying the beauty of mechanical art, so it should be called a mechanical harpsichord. Haha, his violin playing is almost an art, but his ability to name
, but...hehe."
Although Victor didn't finish speaking, it was clear to Lucien, Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus that he thought Rhine was incompetent in naming.
"What about Mr. Victor and Mr. Xavier?" Lucien did not directly name the piano, but asked slightly curiously.
“Mr.
The harpsichord is also called the harpsichord because the clavichord is also called the harpsichord, and the harpsichord is the harpsichord, and the range of this new instrument is very wide, covering almost everything.
"Actually, you are all incompetent in choosing names..."
This is the fact that Lucien, Lott, and Phyllis were silently stating almost at the same time.
Lucien thought for a while, but he really couldn't accept those three names, so he said politely: "Actually, the harpsichord is also called the plucked piano, which happens to have the same word as 'piano' with the clavichord, and is often referred to as abbreviated
"Piano", and the word is full of mechanical flavor, which is very consistent with Mr. Rhine's idea. It also means the change of strength and weakness, which is the main feature of the timbre and volume of this new instrument. Therefore, Mr. Victor, I think it is better to just say
Just call the piano."
Since the words were different from those on Earth, Lucien could only force some reasons by mixing his original thoughts.
"No..." Phyllis finally heard a good name and was about to agree. However, she thought that Mr. Victor hadn't spoken yet. She was losing her aristocratic demeanor and might go against Mr. Victor's preferences, so she hurriedly shut up.
Immediately, Phyllis, who likes to ridicule others, her beautiful face turned red. It matched her flaming bright hair very well, and she looked particularly beautiful.
Lot and Herodotus were okay, he just nodded, then came to his senses, and glanced at Phyllis funny.
Victor pursed his lips: "The piano, um, good, very good, contains the ideas of Mr. Rhine and I, so we don't have to argue anymore."
Lucien was embarrassed and almost laughed. It turns out, Mr. Victor, you asked me to name it because I had a dispute with Mr. Rhine, and neither one accepted the choice of the name.
Soon, they arrived at the piano room on the second floor. The handsome and almost enchanting silver-haired Rhine, wearing her favorite red and black combination, sat in front of the "piano", with her slender hands stretched out, her shoulders and arms barely moving, playing elegantly and compactly.
A soft and melodious piece of music with delicate sound, like a whisper in the night or a lover's murmur, making those who hear it feel quiet and immersed in the atmosphere of the music.
The charm of the piano music played by Rhine made Lucien, Victor and others silent. They listened quietly to him after playing, and then they clapped softly, as if any louder clapping would break the music.
It brings a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
"Mr. Rhine, I didn't expect that in addition to the violin, your harpsichord playing is also so good, no worse than Ms. Sylvia!" Phyllis's face turned red again, her eyes shone, and she praised a little excitedly.
Rhine was just using a clavichord (harpsichord) piece to test the effect of the "piano" in this range and volume, and it sounded flawless, while Sylvia was playing the minor keys with Aalto.
The most outstanding musician.
Because the harpsichord is suitable for indoor playing in piano rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, etc., and its timbre and suitable tunes are deeply loved by noble ladies and girls, so Sylvia often became a guest of noble families, and was invited to participate in the competition of earls and viscounts.
During the banquet held, it was even rumored that she and Princess Natasha were close friends. With such a background, Sylvia was a musician with the most transcendent status in the Musicians Association.
Rhine stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly, like a musician giving his final thanks. Then he smiled and shook his head: "I'm just more mature in technique, and I'm better than Ms. Sylvia in music."
It's still far away, at least I can't write as beautiful a piece of music as I just did."
Lucien on the side looked at the "Hanon Piano Fingering Practice", "Chopin's Transformation of Piano Fingering", "Chopin's Fingering Discussion" and other books in the Soul Library. Comparing the movements of Rhine's performance just now, he nodded frequently in his heart: "Sure enough, the fingering method.
, the melody and the music are both limited by the musical instrument. Whenever there is a new improvement in the musical instrument, the fingering will gradually change, and finally a different style will be formed. The timbre, volume and range of this piano are close to those of modern pianos. There are eight
With eighteen keys and pedals such as forte and sustain, it is most suitable for various styles of modern piano fingering."
On earth, due to the limitations of musical instruments such as the harpsichord, only three fingers were used to play the piano at first. It was not until Bach "liberated" the thumb and little finger that they participated in the performance. Later, influenced by the sound of the harpsichord,
The influence of color and volume changes cannot be expressed freely with the strength of finger playing. Musicians used technical "decoration sounds" such as vibrato and echo to replace the continuation of sound and changes in strength. Therefore, the piano music of this period,
Including Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier Collection", it is full of gorgeous decorative sounds, unable to highlight the pure melody, and there are few loud and rapid sounds.
It wasn't until the birth of the piano that the piano's music, fingering, etc. began to undergo drastic changes, such as Chopin's second "liberation" of the thumb and little finger, allowing them to play the black keys, such as Chopin's original sliding finger, pad
Fingering method.
Lucien stood aside quietly, watching "Hanon Piano Fingering Practice" and other modern piano fingering introductions. Victor had already discussed with Rhine and called this brand-new instrument "piano".
"Lucien, come here, sit in front of the piano, and I'll teach you the basic fingering techniques." Victor suddenly called to Lucien.
Lucien was a little nervous and a little excited and walked over quickly and sat on the piano bench. But as soon as he sat on it, he felt something was wrong. According to the description of the introduction to fingering, he seemed to be a little lower than the height of the piano, so
He hurriedly said to Victor next to him: "Mr. Victor, can you raise the piano bench? Or change it to a piano bench that is ten centimeters higher?"
Victor was a little surprised: "Lucien, you are not much shorter than Mr. Rhine. This piano bench should be just right."
Lucien stretched out his hand and gestured to Victor: "This height is only suitable for using fingers and wrists to exert force. When I need to use the swing of my forearms, back arms, and shoulders to play, it will be very stiff, and the distance is also limited.
If it's a little further, the hand is stretched too straight and is not sensitive enough."
"Nonsense! Lucien, quickly forget the informal and wrong playing methods you learned from the tavern and the street!" Victor rarely scolded Lucien to prevent him from taking the wrong path, "Just now you
Don’t you see? Mr. Rhine only plays with his wrists and fingers. When will he use his forearms, back arms and shoulders?!”
Lucien guessed that Victor would have such a reaction, because some changes in modern piano fingering were difficult for some famous pianists of the same period to accept. People like Liszt used swings of forearms, back arms and shoulders, and high and downward movements.
When the force of free fall is used to produce a majestic effect and a stronger tone of the piano, it has been criticized that this is not playing the piano, but "smashing the piano".
"Lucien, don't dream about the so-called unrestrained taverns. Suburban style will beat formal and complete music education. If you can't correct these shortcomings, you will only become a bard, but not a qualified musician.
." Herodotus, who had always hated Lucien, finally seized an opportunity to ridicule Lucien.
Although Lott and Phyllis were a little happy that Lucien was scolded by Mr. Victor, it was understandable for beginners to make any mistakes and they were not surprised.
Lucien, who was well prepared, explained calmly: "Mr. Victor, I think the technique and style of playing should match the instrument, and this piano is a brand new instrument. Listening to your introduction during this period, it
With unparalleled strong tone, volume and stable sound quality, why can't you change your fingering? Why can't you have arm strength?"
"Mr. Victor, didn't you just ask me to help you find a problem with the piano? Isn't it the problem that the fingering doesn't match the instrument?"
Listening to Lucien's logical and logical explanation, Victor felt that it was ridiculous and a little unable to refute it. On the other hand, Rhine, who was beside him, took a step forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Victor, you have forgotten, decades ago
The liberation of 'one finger' and 'five fingers'? The fingering itself is improving, and when the instrument has obviously changed. I support Lucien."
"Since Mr. Rhine said so, let's try to explore changes in fingering. However, if we go down this path, if we go wrong, Lucien, you will waste a lot of time forgetting the habits you have formed and then explore again.
And learning, this is a very difficult thing for you, are you willing to do it?" After thinking for a while, Victor slowly spoke.
Lucien nodded firmly: "I am willing to do this, Mr. Victor."
"A clown who doesn't know his own strength and the difficulty of his job!" Herodotus, Lot and Phyllis couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
