Picking up from the last time (ua-cam.com/video/wcxAK6cxbQo/v-deo.html), at the concert, my classmate and I also played the "Your Lie in April Capriccio" for four - hands by Animenz and Mr. Li. Regarding this piece, we probably won't record it alone at home because my co - performing classmate and I live far apart from each other. It would be extremely troublesome to make all the arrangements if we were to record at home. So, if you want to put it on loop, you can go to NetEase Cloud Music to listen to the version we recorded in the institution: music.163.com/album/255456674/?userid=3295342324 (the same name as my youtube account).
Some little episodes at the concert:
*When we were rehearsing in the afternoon that day, my classmate who was collaborating with me suddenly told me that he had a fever and was feeling dizzy. He didn't seem to be in a good state overall, and it was obvious that he didn't have much strength to play the piano. At that time, I was worried about whether he could hold on to participate in the concert in the evening. However, he said he would be okay. But because of his physical discomfort, he really didn't perform well in the evening. There were quite a few small mistakes in the high - pitched part that he was in charge of. It was a bit of a pity (•́ω•̀ )
*Since we hadn't discussed the specific way of walking on the stage in advance, some small accidents occurred when we were walking on the stage on - site. When my classmate went on the stage together, he directly spread out the sheet on the piano stand and then walked over to bow with me. After we finished playing, he also bowed with me first, then went to get the sheet, and finally followed me off the stage. Normally, he should close the sheet first. After we went on the stage and bowed, he sat down with me, and then he spread out the sheet on the piano stand. After the performance, it was a similar process. I couldn't help but laugh a little ( -`д´- )
Now let's share our practice experience:
First, there are two most basic points.
The first point is to make it clear who is the "leader" to avoid both people competing for the leading position at the same time. If both sides have parts to lead (like at 1:45 in the video), it should be discussed in advance to crescendo or decrescendo together and cooperate with each other. If both want to lead, it may lead to chaos in the music. The second point is that for the parts that don't fit well, we must practice slowly with a metronome. The metronome can help us better and more accurately grasp the rhythm. In the parts that don't fit well, through slow practice, both sides can become familiar with each other's playing parts and gradually improve the tacit understanding of cooperation (｀･ω･´)
Then, in terms of some detailed processing parts:
At the beginning, it should be fascinating, just like singing, to catch the listeners' ears. For example, the long notes should be more prominent and concentrated, laying a good foundation for the atmosphere of the whole performance (๑•̀ㅂ•́)
