施坦威鋼琴整音調律有感(2024年春節)
這架1929年施坦威(M)翻新的鋼琴經過三個多小時的整音和調律,感覺音色柔和朦朧了一些,特別是手感的調整適合彈奏肖邦的作品……即興彈奏肖邦作品片段以慰藉多年欣賞、彈奏練習肖邦的心靈!
剛看到有推薦肖邦演奏特色的書籍,“紀德”摯愛肖邦的一本書其中說到……肖邦的音樂自帶一種“即興感”,他不停探索,一點點發掘自己的思想。這種“猶豫”、“吃驚”和“突如其來”在過於完美、精確和客觀的演奏中會失去魅力,仿佛一切都是預定好的。演奏不宜過快,要帶著不確定性。樂句在指尖間逐漸形成,仿佛走出一條前人未走過的路。
……肖邦的音樂永遠不會發出明亮的“全聲”,而是以“半聲”演奏的,正如他本人的演奏風格。他總是提示、猜測、滲透、引誘、勸說卻從不肯定。自信又敞亮的演奏完全不適合他的音樂。……肖邦與詩人波德萊爾的共同點是他們對“修辭”、“朗誦”和“演說”的恐懼,他喜歡運用“驚訝”,體現在忽然轉換樂曲氛圍的某個單音上。……取悅自我而彈奏肖邦也是一種幸福的境界。

Steinway Piano Voicing and Tuning Experience (Spring Festival 2024)
This 1929 Steinway (M) piano, after more than three hours of Voicing and tuning, feels that the tone has become softer and more ethereal, especially the adjustment of the touch is suitable for playing Chopin's works... Improvising Chopin's works to soothe the soul that has been appreciating and practicing Chopin for many years!
Just saw a recommended book on Chopin's playing style, in a book where "Gide" expresses his love for Chopin, it mentions... Chopin's music carries a sense of "improvisation," he constantly explores, slowly uncovering his own thoughts. This "hesitation," "surprise," and "suddenness" would lose its charm in overly perfect, precise, and objective performances, as if everything were prearranged. The performance should not be too fast, it should carry uncertainty. The musical phrases gradually take shape at the fingertips, as if walking on a path that no one has walked before... Chopin's music will never produce bright "full voice," but is played in "half voice," just like his own playing style. He always hints, speculates, penetrates, entices, persuades but never asserts. Confident and open performances are completely unsuitable for his music... Chopin's commonality with the poet Baudelaire is their fear of "rhetoric," "recitation," and "oratory," he likes to use "surprise," manifested in a sudden change in the musical atmosphere on a certain note... Playing Chopin to please oneself is also a kind of happiness.
