1. prologue

The introduction consists of seven sections, which skillfully and concisely uses a set of chord points to draw a picture of the bright moon in the sky and all is silent. The first section imitates the plucked instruments in the national orchestral music, sets aside the light lining cavity and relaxes the rhythm. The second paragraph consists of a long arpeggio, flowing pentatonic scale and vibrato, which makes the music have strong national characteristics. The third and fourth segments are the rising modules of the first and second segments respectively. The fifth segment adopts the expression technique of Tokata, and the left octave and the right octave are staggered rapidly with repeated pentatonic steps, as if the moonlight in the vast night sky is like water. When playing the piano, the lining cavity should be played lightly, so both hands should jump close to the keys; The second and fourth measures should pay attention to the connection of arpeggios with both hands, and the pentatonic and long vibrato should be played quickly and smoothly into flowing music lines, and the intensity should be gradually increased from weak to strong, and at the same time, the pedals should be equipped; The octave playing requirement of pentatonic scale refers to from slow to fast and from high to low close to the keys.

2. Part A demonstration paragraph:

The first and second verses of the theme words appear calmly, imitating a melodious and slightly sad tune. The flute and erhu take turns to play, and the rhythm is sometimes compact, as if telling the heart, sometimes relaxing, and sometimes sighing deeply, especially when the left hand plays the melody, a series of arpeggios in the right hand chase the goddess of the holy moon like running water. Polyphonic techniques personify colorful clouds and the moon. The presentation part is a three-sentence single part, starting with eight tones and going up five tones. At the same time, imitating the timbre of plucked instruments in national orchestral music, a light lining cavity pops up at four long beat places as a filling, which makes the music full and not monotonous. In the second phrase, decorative notes are added to the high notes to imitate the timbre of the flute, and the harmony is matched with the ⅵ chord and the Ⅲ seventh chord to make the music more ethnic.

3. Part B Development Part:

It is the expansion of paragraph A, and the third phrase is the four-degree module of the second phrase. When playing the piano, we should pursue the imitation of timbre and distinctive characteristics. At the beginning, we need to play with our fingers close to the keys, and as the music moves up, it becomes stronger. Coupled with the use of pedals, the concert is coherent and smooth. When imitating the flute, we should pay attention to the lightness and clarity of decorative sounds, as well as the graininess and fluency of the whole melody, so as to make it have clear and smooth melody lines. Two-bar interludes also imitate plucked instruments in national orchestral music, and set aside a light lining cavity. The middle part is a paragraph with four parallel sentences. The first and second phrases continue to imitate the bright timbre of the flute and appear in the high-pitched area. The chord, dominant chord and its seventh chord are used in the harmony, and the flowing staccato chord is used as the accompaniment texture, imitating the strings in the national orchestra to fill the long notes. When playing the piano, music requires weak performance, fluency and coherence; As if through the veiled moonlight. The third phrase is the change and reappearance of the first phrase, which is two octaves lower in the tone area and appears in the bass area. The melody timbre imitates the timbre of plucked instruments in national orchestral music, the accompaniment texture adopts five tones with rich national colors, and the timbre imitates the strings in national orchestral music, which is in contrast with the first and second phrases in color, timbre, range and dynamics. When playing the piano, it is required to highlight the main theme of the left hand. The right hand imitates the strings in the national orchestral music, and presses the pentatonic scale to set off the main theme lightly and coherently; The fourth phrase is the change and reappearance of the second phrase, the melody texture is bold and the intensity is strengthened, and the accompaniment texture flows downward in the form of pentatonic waves. The whole melody in the middle section is a lyric extension of the presentation section, and the music develops freely without conflict, only harmony and harmony. The first part of the melody is played by the right hand, and the left hand uses the decomposed texture, which seems to be singing sadly. The second part of the melody is played by the left hand, and a series of arpeggios on the right hand are like flowing clouds and flowing water. Colorful clouds and the moon are personified by polyphonic music.

Step 4 Play intermittently

A light and soft rhythm plays a small interlude, still using the main and subordinate chords. As a special way of expression, the author regards this motionless chord as a leisurely artistic conception, like a tired colorful cloud looking at the unreachable moon and sighing deeply, stopping for a moment.

5. Part A reconstruction section

The reproduction segment is the variation and reproduction of the presentation segment. Melody texture is bold and strengthened, appearing in the form of octave, accompaniment texture appears in the form of pentatonic scale and pentatonic scale, while the filling of long notes is just the opposite. The octave appears in the left hand in the form of a cannon, echoing the right hand. The right hand sometimes uses pentatonic scale to compare the melody of the left hand; Make the music dynamic, just like a dialogue between musical instruments, and it seems that in the background of night, colorful clouds and bright moon chase and play with each other, ups and downs, sudden advance and retreat, vivid and interesting. When playing the piano, the octave should be played accurately and coherently; Fingers should be pushed up close to the keys, and at the same time, the strength should be gradually strengthened. The pentatonic scale should be played evenly and accurately, and the strength should be gradually strengthened. The two appearances of the theme are like a frenzy, surging and overwhelming, which describes the colorful moon more and reveals the true self? Angry? Crazy? Resentment that you will never catch up with the moon and dissatisfaction with reality?

5. Episode:

The conclusion is basically the same as the introduction, but the piano performance has not changed much, only gradually slowed down and weakened in the last two bars, and finally fixed on the long arpeggio, with the left hand pressing the right hand to play the highest note of the long arpeggio. Never stop, rather die than surrender is the spirit of Cai Yun. After the climax, she didn't flinch and went forward bravely. Isn't it worth learning? Let's try to carry forward the spirit of colorful clouds. Has returned to euphemistic tunes, flowing with the wind, echoing the overture ahead.
