【口琴汇--搬运经典】Comprehensive guide to theCorner switchingtechniqueII

原文的全部标题是:

Comprehensive guide to the Corner (or Tongue) switching technique

--by M.A. Weber

Corner switching is one of the most intriguing and important (but unfortunately also underrated) techniques to master on the harmonica.

There is quite an amount of frustration and practice required to fully grasp this technique but at the end it is all worth it.

Alan “Blackie” Schackner uses a very appropriate analogy in his book “Everything you always wanted to ask about the chromatic harmonica but didn’t know who to ask!“:

拐角切换是口琴上最引人入胜和最重要(但不幸的是也被低估了)的技巧之一。

要完全掌握这种技巧,需要相当多的挫折和练习,但最后都是值得的。

Alan "Blackie "Schackner在他的书中用了一个非常恰当的比喻 "一切你一直想问的关于半音阶口琴的问题,但不知道该问谁!"。

Also, John Sebastian Sr. wrote about it in his “Classical Harmonica Series” books (1-6):

另外,老约翰-塞巴斯蒂安在他的 "古典口琴系列 "书籍(1-6)中也写到了这一点。

ohn Sebastian, classical harmonica music series

John Sebastian Sr. describes the technique as right and left tongue blocking.

Well known harmonica soloists, like Cham-Ber Huang were big proponents of the technique and used it frequently. In the book “Harmonicas, Harps and Heavy Breathers: The Evolution of the People’s Instrument“, the Author Kim Field wrote:
“Cham-Ber Huang trying to explain the intricacies of tongue switching to me while rocketing us down the Long Island Expressway in his car”
His student Robert Bonfiglio can be seen in the following video giving a good practical insight of the technique:

老约翰-塞巴斯蒂安将这一技巧描述为左右舌封锁。

著名的口琴独奏家,如黄湛伯就是这种技巧的忠实拥护者,并经常使用。在《口琴、竖琴和重呼吸者。The Evolution of the People's Instrument "一书中,作者Kim Field写道:

"黄昌伯试图向我解释舌头转换的复杂性 当我们开着他的车在长岛高速公路上飞驰时"

他的学生Robert Bonfiglio可以在下面的视频中看到他对该技术有很好的实际见解。

During this course I will point out some of the advantages of the technique, visualized by my proposed exercises.
Note: this course focuses on using a 3 octave chromatic harmonica. I am sure a lot of the below exercises can be repurposed to be used for a 4 octave chromatic or even partially for a diatonic harmonica.

It is important to understand that in order to master the corner switching technique one needs to be able to play equally well from both corners of the mouth using tongue blocking. That means, at least at the beginning of the process more practice will be needed to master musical passages equally well playing with the right and left corner.

Final Words

在本课程中,我将指出该技术的一些优点,通过我提出的练习直观地表现出来。

注意:本课程的重点是使用3个八度的半音口琴。我相信下面的很多练习都可以转用于4个八度的半音阶口琴,甚至部分用于双音阶口琴。

重要的是要明白,为了掌握转角技术,需要能够用舌头阻挡从两个嘴角同样弹好。也就是说,至少在开始的时候需要多加练习,才能掌握用左右嘴角同样演奏好的音乐段落。

今天为您顺位推送练习一的内容:

Exercise II

Practicing scales starting from channel 1

从通道1开始练习音阶

a) play the C scale starting from channel 1 until channel 4 (C) using your left corner.
Switch to your right corner and play the C scale one octave up starting from channel 8 to 12. Then go back ending on channel 1 (left corner).
When you feel comfortable enough you can also use a C# or D scale for the same exercise.

a) 用你的左角从第1声道开始演奏C音阶,直到第4声道(C)。

切换到你的右角,从第8到12声道开始,演奏C音阶向上一个八度。然后回到通道1(左角)结束。

当你感觉足够舒适的时候,你也可以用C#或D音阶来做同样的练习。

–Sound sample

b) play the C scale starting from channel 1 until channel 2 (F) then switch over to your right corner and continue the scale by playing the G in channel 7 until you reach channel 8 (C). Go back down to the G and switch back to the left corner to finish up the scale going down form F to C.

b) 从通道1开始演奏C音阶,直到通道2(F),然后切换到你的右角,继续演奏通道7中的G音阶,直到你到达通道8(C)。回到G,然后换回左角,完成从F到C的音阶。

–Sound sample

-> When you feel comfortable enough with the C scale start playing other scales. Start again the first 4 notes with the left corner the remaining notes with the right corner. Then do the same going down the scale.

-> 当你对C音阶感到足够舒适时,就开始演奏其他音阶。再从左角开始弹前4个音符,其余的音符从右角开始弹。然后以同样的方式往下弹。

-> you can extend this exercise as you please: add more variations: e.g. play only C and D in channel 1 then switch over to channel 6 (E) to play the rest of the scale with the right corner.
Essentially, you should be able to play all scales using all possible “switching points”.

->你可以根据自己的意愿扩展这个练习:增加更多的变化:例如,在通道1中只演奏C和D,然后切换到通道6(E),用右角演奏其余的音阶。

基本上,你应该能够使用所有可能的 "切换点 "演奏所有的音阶。

These are great exercises to get a feel for corner switching. It also shows you how powerful corner switching is.
As you might realize you are now able to play a musical line without interrupting the flow. There is no need to jump in between channels (further than one channel apart) with one corner.

这些都是很好的练习,可以让你感受到转角的切换。它也向你展示了角的切换是多么的强大。

正如你可能意识到的那样,你现在能够在不中断音乐流程的情况下演奏一条音乐线。没有必要用一个角在通道之间跳进(相隔超过一个通道)。
