阿尔贝蒂低音: 權重分配

What is the Alberti Bass?

The Alberti Bass is a commonly used idiom in classical music, starting from the classical era with Haydn and Mozart. In solfege, you would sing it as Do-Sol-Mi-Sol. Another way to describe the Alberti Bass is that it goes one-five-three-five. 

What is the function of Alberti Bass?

It's very simple. The bass line fills each beat with a note, and the combination of these three notes create a triad. In other words, the line creates constant movement, yet harmonic stability.
什麼是阿爾貝蒂低音?

阿爾貝蒂低音是古典音樂常用的成語,從古典時代與海頓和莫扎特開始。在視唱練習,你會唱這首歌因為這樣做,溶膠 - 米溶膠。另一種方式來描述阿爾貝蒂低音是它更進了個三五年。 

什麼是阿爾貝蒂低音的功能? 


這是非常簡單的。低音線條填充每一個節拍一個音符,而這三個音符的組合創建一個黑社會。換言之,該行創建恆定的運動,但諧波穩定性。


What Makes Playing the Bass Line Difficult on the Piano?

The bass line seems simple enough--the pattern itself is not difficult to memorize. The hand position is very natural to the curvature of the hand. The difficulty in playing this figure is in the evenness of the line. The faster you play the bass line, the harder it is to keep it even due to the difference in finger lengths, especially at the thumb.
How Do I Play the Alberti Bass Evenly and Effortlessly?

A good way to play the Alberti Bass, be it in Mozart or Schubert, is to use more of your weight from the arms to play the notes, rather than using your individual fingers to create the sound. Each touch of the keys should begin from your arm, rather than from your fingers. Use weight to play the first note. When one finger is played, immediately aim for the weight to be redistributed to the next finger. The key is to not take the weight off your hand at any given time. 


是什麼讓播放的低音線難的鋼琴? 


低音線似乎很簡單 - 該模式本身並不難記。手的位置是很自然的手的曲率。在播放該圖中的困難是在該線的均勻性。你玩的低音線的速度越快,就越難以保持,甚至由於手指長度的差異,特別是在大拇指。



我如何玩阿爾貝蒂低音均勻,毫不費力?


 玩阿爾貝蒂低音,無論是在莫扎特,舒伯特的一個好辦法,就是用更多的體重從懷裡彈奏的音符,而不是用你的個人的手指創造的聲音。每次觸摸按鍵應該開始從你的手臂,而不是從你的手指。使用重玩的第一個音符。當一個手指打,立刻瞄準的重量重新分配到下一個手指。關鍵是不要把體重過你的手在任何給定的時間。
