——Hehe, in the case that the god has not yet exerted his strength, Sanjiang is currently the first, thank you all, and please continue to support me~............................................................................................................
After determining the instrument Lucian was going to learn, Victor stood up from the sofa and clapped his hands: "Just now, two days ago, Mr. Rhein and Mr. Xavier completed the transformation of the harpsichord, Lucian, you will follow me today to try its effect, hehe, because its timbre, volume and range width far exceed my imagination, even better than all other instruments, but the sound quality is slightly worse, so I think it is no longer a harpsichord, but a new and revolutionary instrument, Lucian , you can start your own musical journey with this brand new instrument."
It can be clearly seen that Victor is very satisfied with the results of the harpsichord transformation, he usually just smiles, and he is good at maintaining his demeanor, full of bright smiles.
"Since it is a new and revolutionary instrument, it should be Mr. Victor, who suggested improvements, give it an official name." On the way to the piano room on the second floor together, Lot complimented with a smile.
Victor glanced at Lucian and asked with a kind smile: "Lucian, what do you think it should be called? This brand new instrument, you also have a lot of credit, why not give an opinion, let's refer to it, Mr. Rhein thinks that the mechanical structure of this instrument is the most complex of all instruments, fully reflecting the beauty of mechanical art, so it should be called a mechanical harpsichord, hehe, his violin playing is almost an art, but his ability to choose a name, but...... Hehe."
Although Victor didn't finish speaking, whether it was Lucian, Lot, Phyllis, or Herodotus, he clearly knew that he thought Rhine was incompetent in naming him.
"What about you, Mr. Victor, and Mr. Xavier?" Lucian did not directly say the name of the piano, but asked rhetorically with a little curiosity.
"Mr. Xavier thinks it should be called a harpsichord, because it is a combination of a percussion piano and a harpsichord, hehe." Victor smiled and shook his head, obviously disapproving of the name, "I think it should be called a full harpsichord, because the percussion piano is also called the harpsichord, and the harpsichord is the harpsichord, and this new instrument has a very wide range of sounds, almost all.
"Actually, you are all incompetent in naming......"
This is a fact that Lucian, Lot, and Phyllis silently told almost at the same time.
Lucian thought for a while, and really couldn't accept those three names, so he said unceremoniously: "Actually, the harpsichord is also called the plucked piano, which happens to have the same word 'piano' as the stringed piano, and is often referred to as the piano, and this word is full of mechanical flavor, which is very in line with Mr. Rhein's ideas, and the meaning of strength and weakness is the main feature of the timbre and volume of this new instrument.
Since the words are different from Earth, Lucian can only mix up his original thoughts to make some arguments.
"Not ......" Phyllis finally heard a good name and was about to agree, but thinking that Mr. Victor hadn't spoken yet, he had lost his aristocratic demeanor like this, and might go against Mr. Vic's preferences, so he hurriedly shut up, and suddenly, Phyllis, who likes to satirize others, her beautiful face turned red, which matched her flaming bright hair very well, and she looked particularly beautiful.
Lot and Herodotus were fine, but they just nodded, then came to their senses and glanced at Phyllis amusedly.
Victor pursed his lips: "Piano, well, good, very good, contains my thoughts and Mr. Rhein's, so we don't have to argue anymore."
Lucian was embarrassed and almost laughed, it turned out that Mr. Victor, you asked me to choose a name because of a dispute with Mr. Rhine, and no one was convinced of the choice of name.
Soon, when I arrived at the piano room on the second floor, the handsome and almost monstrous silver-haired Rhine, wearing his favorite red and black combination, sat in front of the "piano", his slender hands stretched out, his shoulders and arms almost motionless, and played a soft and beautiful tune lightly and compactly.
The charm of the piano music played by Rhine made Lucian, Victor and others silent, and they listened quietly to him after playing, and then applauded gently, as if a louder applause would break the calm and beautiful atmosphere brought by this music.
"Mr. Rhine, I didn't expect that in addition to the violin, your harpsichord playing is so good, no worse than Ms. Sylvia!" Phyllis's face turned red again, her eyes lit up, and she praised a little excitedly.
Rhein was experimenting with the effect of the "piano" in this range and volume with a piece of percussion piano (harpsichord), and Sylvia was the best musician playing the harpsichord in Alto.
Because the harpsichord is suitable for indoor performance in piano rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, etc., and the timbre and suitable music are deeply loved by aristocratic ladies and girls, Sylvia often becomes a guest of aristocratic families and is invited to attend banquets held by counts, viscounts, etc., and it is even rumored that she and Princess Natasha are close friends.
Rhine stood up, stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, like a musician giving a final thank you, and then he smiled and shook his head: "I'm just more mature in terms of skills, and I'm far inferior to Ms. Sylvia in music, at least I can't write as beautiful music as I did just now."
Lucian on the side looked at the books in the Soul Library, such as "Hanon Piano Fingering", "Chopin's Changes in Piano Fingering", "Chopin's Discussion on Piano Fingering", and compared the movements played by Rhein just now, nodding frequently in his heart: "Sure enough, fingering, melody and music are all limited by musical instruments, whenever there is a new improvement in the instrument, the fingering will gradually change, and finally form a different style, and the timbre, volume and range of this piano are close to modern pianos, with eighty-eight keys, strong tones, sustain and other pedals, The most suitable is modern piano fingering of various styles."
On Earth, due to the limitations of instruments such as the harpsichord, only three fingers were used to play the piano at first, until Bach "released" the thumb and little finger, they did not participate in the performance, and later, due to the change in the timbre and volume of the harpsichord, it was difficult to express the strength of the fingers with ease, and the musicians used vibrato, echo and other technical "ornaments" to replace the continuation of the sound and the change of dynamics. It cannot highlight the pure melody, and there are few loud and urgent sounds.
It wasn't until the piano was really born that the piano's music, fingering, etc. began to undergo drastic changes, such as Chopin's second "release" of the thumb and little finger, allowing them to also use the black keys, such as Chopin's original fingering techniques such as slipping fingers and pad fingers.
Lucian stood quietly next to him, watching the introduction of modern piano fingering such as "Hanon Piano Fingering", Victor had already discussed with Rhein and called this new instrument "piano".
"Lucian, come here, sit in front of the piano, and I'll teach you the basic fingerings." Victor suddenly called out to Lucian.
Lucian was a little apprehensive, a little excited, walked over quickly, and sat on the piano bench, but as soon as he sat up, he felt a little wrong, according to the description of the introduction to fingering, his height relative to the piano seemed to be a little lower, so he hurriedly said to Victor next to him: "Mr. Victor, can you raise the piano bench? Or change to a ten-centimeter-high piano stool?"
Victor was a little strange: "Lucian, you are not much shorter than Mr. Rhein, this piano stool should be just right."
Lucian stretched out his hand and gestured to show Victor: "This height is only suitable for using fingers and wrists to exert force, when I need to use the swing of my forearms, hind arms, and shoulders to play, it will be very stiff, and the distance is a little farther, and the hand is too straight and not sensitive enough."
"Nonsense! Lucian, hurry up and forget the informal and wrong way of playing that you learned from the tavern and on the street!" Victor scolded Lucian rarely, lest he go down the wrong path, "Didn't you see it just now? Mr. Rhein just plays with his wrists and fingers, when will he use his forearms, hind arms and shoulders?!"
Lucian guessed that Victor would react this way, because some changes in modern piano fingering were difficult for some famous pianists of the same period to accept, such as Liszt and others who used the swing of the forearms, hind arms and shoulders, as well as the power of high and downward free fall to produce the majestic effect of the piano and a stronger timbre.
"Lucian, don't think that the so-called unrestrained tavern and suburban style will trump formal, perfect music education, if you can't correct these shortcomings, you will only be a bard, not a qualified musician." Herodotus, who had always hated Lucian, finally seized an opportunity to taunt Lucian.
Although Lot and Phyllis were a little happy that Lucian was reprimanded by Mr. Victor, they could understand what mistakes beginners made and were not surprised.
Lucian, who had been prepared, explained calmly: "Mr. Victor, the technique and style I want to play should match the instrument, and this piano is a brand new instrument. Why can't you have the strength of your arms?"
"Mr. Victor, didn't you ask me to help you find the problem of the piano just now, isn't it a problem that the fingering does not match the instrument?"
Listening to Lucian's well-organized and clear explanation, Victor felt ridiculous, but he was a little unable to refute it, but Rhein on the side took a step forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Victor, have you forgotten the liberation of 'one finger' and 'five fingers' decades ago? The fingering itself is improving, and in the case of noticeable changes in the instrument. I support Lucian."
"Since Mr. Rhine has said so, then let's try to explore the change of fingering, but if we go down this path, if we go wrong, Lucian, you will waste a lot of time forgetting the habits you have developed, and then explore and learn again, for you, this is a very difficult thing, are you willing to do this?" Victor pondered for a while and then slowly spoke.
Lucian nodded firmly: "I'm willing to do it, Mr. Victor."
"A clown who doesn't know his strength and difficulties!" Herodotus, Lot, and Phyllis couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
