Music majors hold a sonata party before graduation, which is a summary of their learning achievements. I have compiled a sample of the opening report of the sonata for you. I hope you like it.

First, the purpose and significance of concert design

The master's graduation concert is a systematic summary of three years' postgraduate study. There are three considerations in choosing the repertoire for graduation concert.

(-) As far as the diversity of concert content is concerned,

In my postgraduate stage, I studied and played the works of composers in various musical styles in different periods, so I chose the master's graduation concert, which covered the works of four periods: the classical period, the works of The Romantic Period and the modern period of China.

(B) the choice and swing of repertoire skills in the concert.

When choosing the repertoire of my graduation concert, I mainly focus on the versatility of performance techniques, such as: sonatas in classical times require players to accurately grasp the speed, rhythm, tonality, harmony texture transformation and other techniques of the repertoire; The strength of touching keys, the control of volume, the explosive force and endurance of fingers when playing, etc.

(C) As far as the musical cultural connotation of the concert repertoire is concerned.

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's piano music "Four Seasons" is a group of works based on the composer's rich life experience and sentiment, which shows the integration of music and culture at multiple levels and angles. Choosing this set of works will promote the understanding of the connotation and depth of their own music.

Secondly, the relationship between the characteristics of music, the choice of music and my performance in concert design.

During my graduate school, I chose music tracks as the basic context through the accumulation of many music works, and combined with works of Chinese and Western integration to show various styles and characteristics of piano music. Based on my specific research direction, I chose the following tracks: Piano Sonata No.62/52 by Haydn in the classical period, Four Seasons by Tchaikovsky in The Romantic Period and Juck Zhang in modern China. Music in the classical period played an inestimable role in the development of the whole music history. The most prominent genre form of keyboard music development in this period is sonata, so classical sonata is an indispensable part of piano major, which should always run through both undergraduate and graduate study stages. Haydn is known as the "symphony master" and the founder of sonata form in the classical period, so he chose Haydn's most important work "Piano Sonata No.62 in E flat major" to pay tribute to the master. At the undergraduate stage, we pay attention to training our finger skills, but the cultural connotation of self-music is very lacking. Therefore, I chose Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky to send a piano suite "Four Seasons", 12 refined little songs, which are highly combined with science and music. Learning this set of works will greatly improve my playing skills and musical expression. Juck Zhang's Pihuang is completely different from the first two western works in musical style, and it is a model of the collision between Chinese and western music. It combines China's traditional Peking Opera with western instrumental music, symphonizes China's piano, vividly deduces the characteristics of national musical instruments, and brings the audience into the lively Peking Opera stage with piano acoustics, which is also an exchange experience between Chinese and western cultures.

Third, thinking about the technical skills of piano playing.

(-) technical problems of performance

1, the timbre changes with different key touching methods.

Piano touching different keys at a low angle in the finger socket will produce different timbre effects. The most common thing is to play chords and press keys from a height to achieve the explosive sound effect of * * * ringing and strings vibrating. For example, in the first movement of Haydn's Piano Sonata No.62 in E-flat Major and the six groups of chords in the second paragraph of the score, the musical melody tends to be stronger, and the different touch heights of different chords are repeatedly considered to achieve different acoustic effects, which is more in line with its musical image. The first four groups are the time values of sticking keys, manual operation and flexibility. Remember to swing your wrist from side to side and don't concentrate on the strength sound. The strength in your palm is in turn.

2. Unity of rhythm change

Rhythm in music is an important part of it, and the change and transformation of rhythm is also a highlight in learning piano works. In many piano works, composers seek the effect of changing the texture and sound by changing the different rhythms of the works, even changing the beat many times.

Pay attention to keeping the integrity of the work and the unity of rhythm and speed when playing. A little anger can easily lead to the change of the voice of the same motive and lead to the fragmentation of the work. You can practice two skillful songs together, compare their differences in accompaniment, and unify the melody emotionally-in a phrase that plays the melody for a long time but breathes for a long time, there will be misunderstandings in playing, music delay and the melody is not smooth. At this time, the practice method of "tight playing and slow singing" should be adopted.

3. The use of pedals The piano is a stringed instrument, usually equipped with three pedals: the right pedal (colpedal), the left pedal (una corda), the middle pedal (II pedal tonale), or the Steinway point, but in the ordinary upright piano, the middle pedal has no sustain function. Rubinstein, a famous Russian pianist, said that "the pedal is the soul of the piano", which can play a beautiful and moving melody.
