Study of violin performance based on principle of balance

The violin is a musical instrument with great artistic charm, but technique of playing it is extremely complex. In process of playing violin, in addition to artistic skills, many scientific questions also arise. A certain degree of scientific research can improve overall technical level and artistic value of violin playing. As a basic law of physics, principle of balance applied to violin playing is of great importance for performance and learning associated with it.

Violin balance

(1) Skill balance for lefties

According to natural physiological conditions of different players, flexibility of fingers and weight required to raise and lower fingers are also different, so dogmatic teaching and practice methods should not be used in process of teaching left-hand skills. be accepted, but training program should be designed with most finger pads and touch string in part that supports degree of bending. The scientific technical training of left hand should ensure balanced development of four fingers. When doing hand shape training, hand should be placed in middle of four fingers. Thus, one finger and other four fingers can be extended outward. , which is convenient for action. The fingers can flexibly perform various movements, effectively eliminating excess strength of fingers of left hand, putting them in a good "relaxed" state. For vast majority of performers, index and middle fingers of left hand can move up and down more flexibly, while flexibility and independence of ring finger and little finger leaves much to be desired, so in daily training process, attention should be paid to independence and independence of four fingers. Balanced development of flexibility ensures that rhythmic accuracy and speed meet repertory requirements due to uneven weight of fingers during performance.

(2) Mental balance

Perfect violin performance requires a combined effect of mental work and firm perseverance, that is, only when player has a healthy psychology and personality can he better master playing skills. The psychological balance in performing process has a very great influence on performing state and level of performance. Some foreign scientists are continuously studying "how to overcome psychological barriers in performance." Based on principle of balance, it is important to solve problems of performer's psychological barriers and help him form self-confidence. The basis for formation of self-confidence on stage is to ensure that performer has a solid basic mastery of performing skills; on this basis, maintaining psychological balance of performer requires further consideration of personality of performer. For introverted people, their parents, friends and teachers should start from small things in everyday life, encourage them to express themselves publicly express their views and emotions, always confirm them and communicate with them, praise his successes and achievements and effectively maintain his psychological balance.

Balance between technique and art of playing violin

(1) Balance between musical emotion and reason

A great violinist must be able to feel music and express it at same time. In process of performance, emotion is relativelyan active factor. If emotion is too agitated, performance easily loses control, resulting in a high tone, too fast tempo and rhythm, etc. There is a close relationship between rationality and calmness. , paying too much attention to expression of skills and not having their own imagination and understanding in performance process, it is difficult for audience to appreciate emotions that music wants to express. Therefore, an excellent violinist must have both a “fiery heart” and a “calm mind” in order to achieve a balance between musical emotions and reason. Playing violin is not just a repetitive expression of music, performer must act as an interpreter and recreator of music, and at same time, as enjoyer of music, performer must experience his own artistic creation with audience. Musical emotionality and rationality of performer have reached a balance, and he can use mind control to timely solve technical and psychological problems that arise during performance

Resolve and express your inner emotions with musical instruments to suit demands of audience.

(2) Balance of two-tone and chord performance in polyphonic works

Chords and double tones in polyphonic works in violin music contain more than two musical lines in process of playing, which can fully express trend of part level, phrase and pitch, like fugue in Bach's G minor sonata without accompaniment. . Bach's works have an extremely strong classical style, and when playing, you must take full account of characteristics of era of music creation. In terms of performance, there is a certain difference in playing strength of lower bowed chord and upper bowed chord, and direction of low voice melody will deviate, although imbalance voices in such a performance process are easy to ignore, it will still affect performance of entire music to a certain extent, requiring performer to make careful preparations for each phrase.

Summarizing, relevant research on violin playing based on principle of balance can provide more theoretical references to improve level of violin teaching and learning. Through effective application of principle of balance, playing process of violin can be made smoother and expression of music more attractive. Therefore, in future violin teaching and learning services, we must pay attention to application and promotion of principle of balance in order to grow more excellent violinists.
