Erhu practice mantra - let your erhu play the harmony of qi and rhyme

In order to make it easier to memorize, I compiled it into an erhu practice formula, and now I have collected some of the "general requirements for performance" as follows, making a summary of the stages.

Overview of the general requirements

Before starting to practice music every day, like playing Tai Chi, take a few deep breaths, shake your hands, turn your waist, relax your whole body, let your heart calm down, and when you move the bow, the big arm, elbow, lower arm, wrist, and fingers work in harmony as a whole, stick to the strings, drag the bow straight and evenly, loosen and pull away, and the power reaches the touch point, which means it, the qi arrives, the force arrives, and the sound arrives. Concentrate on it, enter the artistic conception, express feelings and hearts, and the whole is coherent, all in one go, and it is natural, so that the rhyme is blended and the nature is self-revealed.

Interpretation:

1. Counting white as black is the core of oriental aesthetics, but all the wonders of reality are born from the void, and it is necessary to leave room for strength and weakness, shade, density, virtual reality and imagination. If you want to pull out the charm and sound well, you must pay attention to your own sound state and the aesthetic expression of the music, and make the layout of the performance technique;

2. To integrate the technique naturally into the music, play the violin like singing (adjust the breath with the mood of the music), you have to sing this melody in your heart, so that the technique is perfectly integrated.

3. Learn from famous teachers and see how they interpret music: (1) modification processing (kneading, wiping, slipping, beating, pressing, padding, trembling) ;(2) bow layout (long, short, continuous, pause, shaking, jumping, throwing) ;(3) timbre changes (suppression, yang, pause, frustration, roundness, moistness, purity), through continuous accumulation, improve their musical cognition and cultural accomplishment;

(g)

The finger wrist is actively elastic

Interpretation:

The fast bow requires the right and left hands to be synchronized, close to the string to increase granularity, and the short tone is short with a bow that cannot be turned up or down.
