The overtones of the guqin are elegant and beautiful, and the coldness is like the sound of a fairy. The sky, the earth, and the people should be located in the sky. Guqin music often starts with overtones and ends with overtones. After the qin pieces are gorgeous, they return to peace. They were born in Sri Lanka, and then become in Sri Lanka. The raising of hands is like drawing a perfect circle, which combines the way of traditional Chinese culture. .

Although other musical instruments can also play overtones, few can perform as long as the guqin. Although the overtones of the guqin are beautiful, beginners are also prone to illness. This article will take the overtones as the topic, and talk about one or two, and discuss with piano friends! How to play overtones well, I summed it up into a few words: "three musts and one taboo", three are: floating, accurate, stable, one taboo is: "one-fingered meditation", the following will introduce each.

1. Floating

The method of playing the overtone is to play the string with the right hand, and the left hand floats on the emblem at the same time.

Therefore, the first priority of overtones is "floating", and the left hand should float on the strings, not on the surface of the piano. The left hand needs to press the strings on the surface of the piano, and the overtones only need to float on it, but there is no sound.

Therefore, according to the sound, the truth is the top, and the overtone is the floating. Beginners should pay more attention to appreciate the word "floating", which is the first thing to do with overtones.

Second, the standard

The "quasi" of overtones has two meanings, one is that the return position of the left hand pressing the string must be accurate, and the other is the timing of the left hand tapping and releasing the string. The overtone is the lower finger of Dang Hui, so the ancient spectrum is also called "Hui Yin".

When the emblem is regular, it is called, and the emblem is poor, so the left hand of the overtone must play according to the emblem, and accurately find the emblem. This is one of them.

Second, the timing of tapping and leaving the strings with the left hand should be accurate. When playing the strings with the right hand, the left hand will be on the strings. After the sound is produced, the left hand will leave the strings. If the left hand leaves the strings too slowly or too fast, the timbre of the overtone will be affected. .

Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate well with both hands.

When first learning the piano, the close overtones of the four emblems, seven emblems, and nine emblems are generally easy to find with the left hand. Beginners are not easy to follow.

Here, the player needs to see the left hand, not to be distracted, to concentrate and not to be distracted.

3. Stable

The left hand of overtones should be steady and steady, and no large up and down jumps should be made.

Guzheng master Zhou Yanjia once said: "Hands should not go above the eyebrows", which means that when the left and right hands move up, down, left and right, the ups and downs of the two hands should not be higher than the eyebrows.

I think the same should be true for the guqin. The qin is an elegant piece of music. It should be composed of songs and emotions, and expressions and movements should be reserved.

Therefore, when the left hand moves up and down according to overtones, it must not be too exaggerated, let alone scratching its head, so beginners should also pay attention to the word "steady".

Four, one taboo

Avoid "One Finger Zen", what is "One Finger Zen"? That is, when playing overtones, the left hand, regardless of the major, food, middle, and name, is replaced by one finger, that is, it does not follow the piano score, and makes it at will. This is also a taboo for overtones.

Therefore, when we play overtones, we must strictly abide by the markings of the piano score. Each finger of the major, food, middle, and name should be arranged reasonably, and only one finger should be used instead. This is also a common mistake for beginners.

In fact, if we try to figure out more carefully, it is not difficult to find some rules of the overtones:

As long as the overtones of the left and right two (such as nine and seven emblems), the name finger is responsible for the left position (ie nine emblems), and the index finger (or big finger) is responsible for the right position (ie seven emblems);

If the overtones of the upper and lower strings (such as the seventh and second strings) are the same emblem, the big finger should be responsible for the upper string (ie the seventh string), and the middle finger (or the name finger) is responsible for the lower string (ie the second string).

From this, a simple rule can be drawn: the left is the name finger, the right is the index finger (or big finger), the top is the big finger, and the bottom is the middle finger (or name finger).

Of course, the left and right mentioned here are relative terms. For example, the ten emblems are on the right compared to the twelve emblems, and the big or index finger is often used to point overtones;

However, compared with the nine and seven emblems, its position has become left again, and the name finger is often used to point the overtones, so it should be used flexibly and the specific situation will be analyzed in detail.

For example, if there are only a few overtones of different strings of the same emblem, it should be easy to handle.

Reasonably arrange the overtones of the responsibilities of each finger. First, each finger can be controlled freely when singing, so as to avoid confusion when the rhythm is fast. Second, the posture is graceful and decent, so beginners must pay attention to avoiding "one finger meditation".

Beginners should also pay attention to the touch points of each finger of the left hand of the overtone. Except that the big finger does not touch the string at the half of the nail and flesh, the touch points of the three fingers, such as food, middle and name, are roughly the same as those for pressing the sound. The fleshy fingers in the front of the fingers touch the strings (the index finger is slightly left).

However, if there are several consecutive overtones of the same emblem and different strings, then the position where the left hand touches the strings will not be a few points, but will become a line, that is, the part above the middle of each finger.

Only the overtones that touch the strings on the front of the finger are called "point pans", and the overtones that touch the strings above the middle section are called "line pans".

It is better to use "Dragonfly on Water" for "Dianpan", and "Pink Butterfly Floating Flowers" for "Line Pan".

Beginners often do not know how to work around, and several overtones of the same emblem adjacent to each other are only frequently moved up and down with the front of the finger, which is wrongly handled.

Whether it is the speed of the music or the accuracy of the emblem, it is difficult to meet the requirements, and the sound is unclear, so beginners should pay special attention to this.

In addition, the overtones should be played with the right hand in close music. As mentioned in the previous article, the position of the right hand to play the string is usually between Yihui (or Erhui) and Yueshan.

The more rigid and clear the overtones are, so that the overtones can be clear and ethereal. However, the distance of the lower finger is not absolute. For example, the rolling brush of overtones is mostly used in the upper and lower fingers of the emblem, and the near Yue is impatient.

Ji Kangqin Fu Yun said: "either messy but not chaotic, or separate but not different", if we can understand this sentence of the master, the overtones will be wide and easy to solve!
