The tension of pulling the fast bow is common and often encountered by beginners of erhu. It not only directly affects the quality of performance, but also easily causes huge psychological pressure and physical obstacles to the performer.

Some performers or students of music colleges, driven by the idea of "rushing for success", often appear to be mentally frivolous when practicing the piano, appearing sloppy, inattentive and impatient. They tend to get nervous when they encounter performances, competitions, or even exams, and often discount their performance. Sometimes they even get messy in the performance due to the improper method of fast bowing, thus destroying the entire performance. The main reasons for the formation are the improper method of fast bowing, the unnatural distribution of bows when playing, and the constraining feeling of pressing the left finger. When the above phenomenon occurs, you should first check whether the playing method is correct and loose, and whether the distribution of the bow is reasonable and natural. Although each person's method is different in actual performance, the playing methods that conform to physiological laws such as relaxation and naturalness should be recognized by everyone.

In my opinion, when playing fast bows, the fingers of the right hand should naturally hold (rather than pinch) the bow shaft, combined with the action of the forearm close to the wrist, in a state similar to the feeling of hitting a gong at a faster speed. Bowing strength and distribution of bows (bowing position and bowing range) should generally be determined according to the mood of the music melody, and the strength of expressing briskness should be smaller; when expressing warm and unrestrained emotions, the strength of holding the bow and wiping the strings is the same. It should be appropriately enlarged, the part of the bow should be close to the middle bow, and the feeling of holding the bow should be more stable and firm. If you encounter a fast melody with frequent changing of the handle, you should start practicing at a slower speed based on the grasp of your left hand, and then gradually play at a normal speed after the two hands cooperate tacitly. Some people play a continuous fast bow relatively smoothly, but when they encounter frequent rhythm changes of melody notes and need to continuously change strings to play, they are not so smooth and sure, and some even cause nervousness and performance due to improper methods. in a hurry. In this case, you should first solve the problems of string changing method and rhythm feeling, and then adjust the method of fast bow. At the same time, it is very beneficial to do more targeted exercises on weekdays to better master and use the fast bow skills.
