Teacher Sherivanov
Childhood music learning is painful and ineffective. This feeling came into being after the first Bayan class in Moscow. It is not easy to find a teacher. Cao Ye, a first-class Bayan master in China, recommended me to learn from several world-class Bayan masters, but several masters were too busy to attend to me. Finally, Mr. Cao found his colleague Sherivanov. In his early thirties, he won many championships in the Bayan World Competition and held master classes all over the world every year. 65438+ 10 15 We went to see the teacher in the early morning. The heavy snow in Moscow is really spectacular, but we drove for two hours.
The teacher was very enthusiastic and calmed my uneasy mood. The teacher tested my present level, and I played with a handful of edelweiss carefully, thinking that I would make a fool of myself.
"Very good." Sherivanov said.
"It's hard, I can't do anything." I said.
"No, it's very simple! If you can, then teach me. "
That's how my class started. One class 1 hour, and the result is almost 2 hours in the blink of an eye.
"Sorry, I want to give you more knowledge." Teacher Sherivanov really apologized to me.
After the course, I asked the teacher if I could rent a piano so that I could practice during my stay in Moscow. The teacher immediately took out a famous Italian piano and lent it to me for free.
The short study gave me an instant epiphany. I haven't learned the key things like fingering, posture and bellows before. It is equal to me and Mr. Sherivanov starting from scratch. That's good. Let go of the baggage and move forward lightly. Later, Teacher Cao Ye said that Sherivanov's method is the most effective and correct as long as you practice hard. Your students will never take detours after learning from you.
In a conversation with Wang Xiaotong, a doctor of music education who graduated from Gnesin Conservatory of Music, he said: In Russian, learning the piano is actually playing, while Chinese is practicing the piano. Only in the process of studying with Sherivanov did I feel the true meaning of learning in interest, rather than practicing the piano in boredom.
In the last class, I was reluctant to part with the teacher. What I learned from him is not only Bayan's correct method, but also my interest in music and teachers' morality. I have an appointment with my teacher to check my progress regularly by video. You can study in Moscow again during the summer vacation.
The musical atmosphere in Moscow
Besides studying Bayan, I also visited the scenic spots in Moscow. I have been to the Kremlin, Red Square, Victory Park, Sparrow Mountain and Arbat Street. I was deeply impressed by the concerts of glinka Music Museum and Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music.
As soon as I entered the Music Museum, the first thing I saw was glinka's sculpture. On the left side of the sculpture is his famous saying: "Music is created by people, but artists just write it." This statement is profound and needs time to digest. On the right is a music score. There is only/kloc-0 piano on the first floor of the museum, and the exhibits on the second floor are small and rich. The exhibition hall on the second floor covers the music of various periods, from various countries, from Europe, Asia, America to Africa, and there are many original works by famous Russian musicians, including the piano used by Rachmaninov, the small organ and automatic piano in the United States at that time. At that time, the Huqin used in Mongolia was also very different from the Erhu, not only in shape, but also in the number of strings. I'm crazy about all kinds of pianos. Can't say it's an eye-opener. I can only say that I have accumulated too little and I don't know much. After the visit, the old lady at the door warmly invited us to stay for the concert.
I have been to the concert hall of Tchaikovsky College many times, and the first time had the deepest and biggest influence on me. Student concert of "Silver Age of Russian Music" by Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music. Three students from Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music in Russia played music composed by Russian outstanding composers Meshner, scriabin and Rakhmaninov.
The first player, Herojinke, played a piece of Mesner's No.38 "Forgotten Melody", which was fresh and elegant without losing the vitality of dance music, with clear fingers and a grainy dance on the piano. When I closed my eyes, I saw the scenery of the countryside. Children ran in the fields, ran out of the fragrance of the soil in the fields, and saw dragonflies racing with the children. Describe such a picture. The performer showed us a touching picture with skillful skills, which is not only a lyric poem, but also a beautiful tune that can express technology well. The second performer, Gu Ning, chose four songs by scriabin. Few students in China practice such a big song, and the difficulty coefficient is so great. Gunin showed the silver age of Russia with skillful skills. This is not only the heyday of literature and art, but also the heyday of music. Powerful notes struck my heart like a sledgehammer, which made me feel a warm torrent washing in my blood, as if I had gained a powerful force. The third player, Gnushas, played two songs by Rachmaninov. The grand scene was described with such delicacy and devotion that the sweat ran down the cheeks, sprinkled on Steinway's grand piano, and cast on the piano, which gained the mystery given by Steinway. Northas was born in 1990, and now he is a senior in college, but he is so much better than us that even the graduate students of several famous conservatories in China are not as good as them, which makes me deep in thought. Why?
I remember that Holovitz's last disciple was Wei, our pianist in China. He said, "Using the pedal is a magical thing, which needs to be understood with your heart.". I also observed it during the performance. Indeed, technology and understanding are well integrated and become a bridge. Each player has his own patent, but it is the tradition and essence handed down from Russia, and there are also innovations.
Mariinsky Theatre Art Feast
After years of renovation, the old theater of the Moscow Grand Theatre has begun to perform, but the ticket price is amazing, and only three months' tickets can be booked, and one ticket is hard to find. We decided to go to St. Petersburg to enjoy the Petersburg ballet Swan Lake.
On the third day of New Year's Eve, we took the Yukon motor train and set foot on the journey of St. Petersburg, the capital of northern Russia. Upon arrival, we got into a friend's car and headed straight for Mariinsky Theatre. I feel that the facade of the theater is very small, but the reputation and status of Mariinsky Theatre occupies the highest peak of ballet in the world. Walking into the theater, imagination is like putting wings on it. You can imagine what kind of posture the czar is sitting in the Mariinsky Theatre to watch the performance. Up to now, people still retain their respect for art. Most men wear suits and ties, not to mention women's clothes, which are natural, elegant and arrogant.
When I walked into the theater, I was shocked. The gold-plated decoration is more striking than the photos in the book, and the ivory pillars are carved with gold patterns. There are naturally noble classical murals on the ceiling, and the cultures of those religions precipitate the bud of art; The sculpture of the little angel playing the flute is small and lovely, as if to play a beating note; The huge orchestra pit and heavy music score tell the story of Tchaikovsky's 800 rubles at that time. The huge lifting screen, elegant stage lighting and unconventional seats are the perfect integration of modern technology and art. The performance is divided into three and four performances, and the ending naturally draws a perfect full stop. The prince defeated the wizard and saved the princess. Strong visual impact needs the support of music. Sitting on the director's rehearsal table, higher ticket prices are bound to reap the dessert of sound. When you see the clown's skillful skills on the stage and win the flowers and applause from the audience round and round, you have to fall off the stage again and again and be moved by his perseverance that is not afraid of setbacks; Seeing four cygnets playing and hearing Lao Chai's familiar melody lit the fire of the soul and produced passion, while the two dozen cygnets on both sides were motionless, as if singing for their joy, but how many people went to see the hard work of these two dozen people? When you see the false princess Oglia, you will also be attracted by her superb dancing skills. You can't resist her enchanting breath, and no one will refuse her amazing. When you see the prince lay down his life for Hawk to save Princess White Swan, the thunder and lightning on the stage and the magnificent symphony music, you will also be moved by the prince's courage and love.
