Today, I will tell you about the precautions for playing bell decorations and vibrato in the erhu.
There are two main problems that are prone to occur in playing ornamental sounds:
1. The scale is not properly grasped, and the decorative small notes are often played too emphasized, so as to stand out from the melody line, which is clumsy and cumbersome.
2. When playing the melody, the first note of the melody is played too long, so as to cause the shift of the rhythm stress. (To practice the independence of your fingers, you can only control if you are independent)
The main problems that are prone to occur when playing vibrato are as follows:
1. The fingers are too tense to lift up, so the strings are weak, resulting in ambiguous pronunciation. (When vibrato, the fingers need to be relaxed, the more tense the more uncontrollable. It can be practiced from slow to fast)
2. The finger strikes the strings suddenly and suddenly, unevenly.
3. The interval between the vibrato and the original is not accurate. (note the finger spacing)
4. The vibrato does not reach the desired rate.
