The training essentials of the pipa wheel finger are basically the same as the training essentials of picking and picking, and the following aspects should be paid attention to in the training process.
Because the length and thickness of each person's fingers are different, the ring finger and little finger of beginners often touch the string weakly. In our daily life, the ring finger and the little finger are used less and less flexible. Therefore, if you want to avoid passing by and have no sense of rhythm, you must pay attention to the practice of the ring finger and the little finger. At the same time, the touch points of the five fingers should be as concentrated as possible, and the strength should be balanced. When the eclipse, middle, innominate, and little fingers pop up, a little downward pressure should be applied. When touching the string, the top of the nail should be used, and the thumb should be picked in the opposite direction. There is also pressure to move downwards. In this way, the five fingers can achieve a more balanced force, so that the sound is round and powerful, and the force is even and the tone is beautiful.
In order to express different musical styles, after meeting the above requirements, it is necessary to strengthen the training of the ring finger strength. In the training of the ring finger strength, in addition to the training on the sub-strings, it is also necessary to pay attention to the training on the winding strings, and increase the strength by 1-2 times. At the same time, in order to make the idea of the wheel fingers clear and granular, I think the speed must be slightly slow and accurate when touching the strings, and relax immediately after hitting the strings hard. It's like "big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate". In the practice of wheel fingers, strength training is a very important part. For example, in the theme melody part of the song "Sing a Folk Song for the Party", the powerful full wheel vividly expresses the people's deep gratitude and love for the Party from the heart. Of course, when dealing with music, it is emphasized that the strength of the wheel fingers does not mean that the frequency is increased. Many students often confuse the two, and there are problems of excessive tension and insufficient relaxation. The main reason is that the relationship between exertion and relaxation is not clear. It is controlled relaxation, loose and relentless. Force is controlled to relax the muscles, not tight but not stiff. If the relationship between the two can be properly handled in the actual performance process, the music will be played with ups and downs, consistent rhythm, flesh and blood, and strong infection. force.
Those who have listened to "Song on the Top" will be overwhelmed by the delicate expression of the wheel fingers; and after listening to "House of Flying Daggers", they will be shocked by the vigorous and agitation of the wheel fingers. After mastering the basic essentials of the wheel finger, it is necessary to pay attention to strengthening the training of the frequency of the five fingers, so as to increase the density of the wheel fingers and enhance the rotational force of the five fingers. Sometimes a piece of undulating music does not come down at a speed, which requires strengthening the training of the frequency density change of the five fingers. This change will give people a kind of rapid, flat, strong, or weak emotional ups and downs. . Learning to control the change of speed and frequency will bring a wide range of aesthetic effects to the distribution of wheel points, and at the same time control its change (not blindly), and according to the needs of music, the quality of this change is directly Affects the pros and cons of musical performance. In addition, there are strong and weak staggered exercises, and the practice of touching the strings deeply, which are also factors that affect the performance of music.
When playing the pipa, the depth of the right hand touching the strings refers to the depth of the fingernails entering the strings, also known as "eating strings". During the performance, according to the needs of the content of the music, control the depth of the human strings well, so that the pronunciation can be achieved. Clean, bright, concentrated, and granular. When the music requires a pure, strong and powerful effect of the music, the strings can be played deeper, and when the music needs to be clear, beautiful and smooth, the strings can be played shallower. As the intensity of the music changes, the touch angle and depth of the right hand should also change accordingly. When crescendoing, the angle is increased and the string is touched deeper; when the crescendo is weakened, the angle is narrowed and the string is touched shallower, so the performance will be much better. For example, when playing the long wheel melody in "Little Sisters of Heroes of the Prairie", the angle should not be too large, it should be kept at a 45-degree angle, and the amplitude of the finger wheel should be small, so that the pronunciation is soft and delicate, and it is suitable for expressing beautiful and tactful emotions. When playing the back of the piece to reproduce the melody of the finger wheel, the angle should not be too small, and the amplitude of the finger wheel should be larger, so that the pronunciation is intense and vigorous, which is suitable for expressing excitement and carnival emotions. So this is also an aspect of practicing the ring finger well.
