纯正地道美语(外教讲解)234：学钢琴

（单词翻译）

　　Charles:Hi  Cody,  how  did  practicing  go  this week?
Cody:Well I had several tests and an oral presentation  this  week  so  I  didn’t  get  a chance to memorize the second page, but I think I mastered the tricky¹ section.
Charles:Great!  Warm up with some scales and arpeggios first. Good, good. This week, work  on  keeping  the  rhythm  steady when you play the last part with the sixteenth note . Now let’s take a look at this tricky section.
Cody:Charles? Before I start I was wondering if it was ok if I put a small crescendo² in here and then decrescendo back to pianissimo again over here?
Charles:It might work. I’ll have to hear it . Show me what you’ve done. Not bad , not bad
Cody:It was horrible! I played play it much better at home!
Charles:It’s just nerves. Just play the right hand for now.   One two three four five six, ta ti tri-ple-ti.  Good, good.  Don’t forget the accidentals!  The key signature says that note should be a G-sharp but now it’s a G-natural. Now add the bass³ clef.  You’re going too fast.  Remember the tempo⁴ for this piece is andante.
Cody:Is that better?
Charles:Yes, much better.  Watch where you lift your foot off the pedal. What was that?
Cody:Sorry!  The stretch for that octave is always hard to make.
Charles:That’s  ok,  keep  going,  you’re  moving ahead by leaps and bounds. Watch your dynamics⁵! Keep your elbows lifted. Remember  to  stroke  the  keys,  don’t pound.  That’s better!  Remember that as a pianist or any other musician, your technique will be what separates you from the pack just as much or more so as your musicianship.

　　Charles: 你好，Cody，练得怎么样了？
Cody: 这周我参加了几个考试以及口头陈述，所以我没有机会记住第2页，但是我想我掌握了棘手的部分。
Charles: 很棒。先弹些音符和 和音急速弹奏来热热身。好的，这周当你弹奏16音高的最后一部分时，要继续使节奏保持平稳。现在我们来看下难的这部分。
Cody: Charles?在我开始之前，我在想如果在此处渐增声音然后再减弱到极柔如何？
Charles: 也许不错。我必须得听听。给我显示下。不错，不错。
Cody: 太糟了。我在家谈得更好。
Charles: 123456.很好，别忘了变调的临时符号。音调显示现在应该是G声调，但现在是G小调。现在加些男低音谱号。你弹得太快了。这段的拍子是舒缓的。
Cody: 好些了吗？
Charles: 好多了。注意你将脚从踏板上移开时所放的位置。那是怎么回事？
Cody: 对不起。八音度延伸太难了。
Charles: 没事，继续，你快了很多，注意力度。举起 手肘。记得去敲琴键，不要猛击。好多了。记住作为钢琴家或音乐家，你弹奏的技术就是使你与大众区分开来的东西，和音乐鉴赏力很相似。
