Sometimes people make problems too complicated through subjective assumptions, thus neglecting to look at the problem itself from an objective perspective.
In fact, the clear context of the problem is right before our eyes.
Qin Jian's harmony and acoustics can only be said to be average.
But by listening to the harmonic progression of the string quartet, he suddenly connected to the single chord played by the piano, and compared the characteristics of the three instruments in the string quartet with different volume levels according to their different ranges, and compared it with the piano.
This point of expansion on a chord on the vocal instrument is worthy of recognition.
Because the premise of harmony is chords.
In European music from the 17th century to the 19th century, people were accustomed to calling a chord composed of three or more tones superimposed according to certain rules.
The orderly progression of chords is harmony.
In a nutshell, the role of harmony in music is that we hear harmonious, harsh, bright, dark, full, thin, clear, heavy, etc. in music.
A series of musical performances are presented to us by composers using the sound attribute of harmony.
If harmony is compared to a pyramid, then chords are the stones that make up the pyramid.
A strong and beautiful pyramid requires strong and orderly stacking of stones.
How to play a chord can be understood as how to produce a stone.
The solidity of the stones depends on how the player mixes the proportions of water, sand, and concrete.
That is the ratio of the strength of three fingers. Sometimes it may be four, sometimes it may be six, eight or nine.
Therefore, how to construct the harmony of the work like a beautiful pyramid during performance ultimately has to be implemented under the fingers of the performer, and at the same time, the performer must clearly understand all this.
As Qin Jian himself guessed, this is no longer a performance technique.
This is a music technology that can be analyzed through the essence of music, a technology that looks at the overall situation and starts from the reality of both hands.
And its value worthy of discussion far exceeds the technology itself.

At six-thirty the next morning, Qin Jian was awakened by a message. It would be better to say that he was awakened by a message than he had been awake all night. He could sense the slightest movement in the corridor before.
Fang Xiaoyu's message said that she and Shi Yue had met Chen Tangjie downstairs, 'Master, don't worry, we're leaving!'
In the dark, Qin Jian replied to the other party in a daze, "Don't be nervous and get your documents."
Then he continued to sleep. This time he woke up until half past eight. When he woke up, the room was already bright.
After washing up, Qin Jian, who looked energetic, stood by the window for a while holding a piece of bread in his mouth, and finally said "Come on" before coming to the piano.
Raise your hand.
Finger drop.
The extremely fast and violent musical scales rushed to all directions of the room with a courageous momentum. Perhaps the sound could be transmitted outside through the window, but those who heard it could not distinguish the source of the sound because the campus was already noisy at this time.
The individual admission examination of Hua Guo Yuan has begun again. Today is the preliminary examination for art candidates who apply for orchestral folk music and composition and conducting majors.
After the whole morning passed, the exam was still in full swing.
309.
After Qin Jian completed the basic exercises, he took out the long-lost collection of Chopin etudes.
He hasn't read music scores for a long time.
The first page you open is the Psalm of Escape.
Looking at the fingerings marked under the first set of right-hand chords, he felt a sense of freshness.
The three small numbers 542, representing the little finger, ring finger and index finger, are arranged in a column from top to bottom.
"You really need to look carefully."
After understanding some questions, Qin Jian found that when he saw this kind of mark again, he would unconsciously calculate in his mind the strength required by each finger to make up the chord based on the attributes and functions of the chord.
After reading the score again, he started playing.
This time he did not close the music score, but played while looking at it.
He watched it very carefully and played it very seriously. He would stop and practice over and over again because he was not satisfied with some parts, and then continue again.
Time flies by.
...
This is probably a process for Qin Jian, from having a score before his eyes to having no score before him, and now to having a score before his eyes again.
I believe that when he reaches the point where he has no score again, every mark on the score will no longer be the formulaic symbol in his mind before.
No matter how admired or huge a work is, it was written by people.
The composer wrote the music score and put it there for anyone to read.
Memory pills are a good thing, maybe they can last through a player's entire gaming career without declining.
Perhaps it can only be responsible for a certain transitional stage of a player - especially for a good player.
...
At this time, in the piano examination room of the Hua Xi Examination Center, a short-haired girl from outside the province conquered all the Yanjing judges present with a Chopin that took less than thirty seconds.
While the examiners were thinking, the piano sound suddenly stopped.
No one asked to stop, it was the performer who stopped.
Fang Xiaoyu stood up from the piano and bowed deeply, "Thank you, teachers."
The examiners were surprised when they saw the girl pick up the red down jacket next to the piano bench and leave in a hurry.
"This kid is really good." A young examiner whispered.
Then an older examiner next to him sighed, "Yes, but depending on the situation, this child already has a school."
The young examiner nodded knowingly. Every year, many outstanding candidates take the preliminary examinations of these comprehensive universities in the form of examination rooms.
But this was the first time I met him who stopped on his own initiative.
moment.
"It depends on whether she will come back for the re-examination tomorrow." The young examiner said with some unwillingness to give up, as if if the other party came back for the re-examination tomorrow, he would find a way to persuade the other party to stay.
The older examiner just smiled and shook his head, "The preliminary piano test of Huaguo Academy will be tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he raised his hand and said loudly, "Next one." At the same time, he scored the highest score of 98.5 behind Fang Xiaoyu's candidate number.
He also had some regrets, but the exam still had to continue.
...
Outside the school gate, Fang Xiaoyu ran to the car panting, "Sorry, sorry, the exam is going too slow!"
"How's it going? Xiaoyu."
"fine?"
Shi Yue and Chen Tangjie in the car asked together.
"I just played a section to get a feel for it. Does it feel good?" Fang Xiaoyu sat down and let out a deep breath, "Brother Chen, let's go quickly. We will be at Yueyue's written test soon."
Shi Yue laughed, "It doesn't matter, I'm not here for the First Normal University anyway."
Even so, Chen Tangjie stepped on the accelerator, "You two sit tight."
The car drove onto the road and quickly merged into the traffic flow.
