A famous Spanish classical guitar song that I have loved all my life-Love the Romans.

Romance in Love is a famous Spanish guitar song and the most legendary classical guitar repertoire. Its history is not long, but it has had a subversive influence in the field of guitar playing. Many people are attracted to the guitar because of it, and some people have embarked on the road of guitar playing and eventually become everyone. It is so classic and well-known, it is the reserved repertoire of all famous guitarists, and almost becomes synonymous with guitar.

Roman in Love was originally a Spanish folk song, which was adapted into a guitar solo by the talented Spanish classical guitarist yepes. In the 1952 French film Taboo Game, yepes took it as the music theme of the film, creatively used a guitar and a piece of music to support the soundtrack of the whole film. He was a solo from beginning to end, which was unprecedented in my impression. After the film was staged, people were deeply moved by this piece of music, which swept the world and became an immortal masterpiece.

Although, later, other guitar masters took guitar solo as the main soundtrack of the film and achieved success. But neither the music itself nor its influence can be compared with The Romans in Love. Guitar master John? Williams, the theme of "Ka Fatina" solo in the film "deer hunter", is absolutely wonderful, and the film won the best sound effect of 1978 Oscar. But if compared with the Romans in love, guitarists agree that they are still slightly inferior. Yepes and his "Romance" have reached an artistic height that no one can surpass so far in taking the guitar as the soundtrack of the film.

The first time I heard Love the Romans was in junior high school. At that time, the domestic music culture environment was still very closed, and few people played guitar. We have never heard of this piece of music. One day, I listened to a music tape brought by his relatives from Hong Kong at a classmate's home, which contained this guitar song. When I heard the broken string flowing out of the sky, I was immediately fascinated. What a wonderful "I feel as if my hearing is illuminated by wonderful music"!

At that time, I had been practicing Spanish guitar for several years and played some classic songs, but I never thought there was such a beautiful tune as "Love the Romans". It is perfectly matched with the timbre of the guitar, and the simple and beautiful melody of the music is perfectly integrated with clear staccato chords, which is full of romance. It can be said that it touches the soul of the guitar, and you can't really appreciate the beauty of the guitar without listening to this piece.

I had a hard time finding the score of this piece. I didn't find it difficult when I first started, but I could get it with my skills at that time. But after practicing for a while, I feel that it is not easy to play this piece well.

Love of the Romans is a typical A-B-single three-part form, 3/4 beat, one phrase every four bars, 32 bars in the whole song, medium board. Section A is E minor, which starts from a main chord, develops at a moderate speed in the descending scale, and reaches its climax in the fourth section, when the constituent sounds of the main chord all rise by an octave, and then the melody goes back and forth repeatedly in the descending scale. Harmony consists of a main chord, a subordinate chord and a genus 7 chord, and finally ends with a main chord. This paragraph is extremely simple except for the big horizontal press in the fourth quarter.

Section b turns to e major, and the first three bars repeat the main theme of section a, but the latter has developed and the harmony accompaniment has changed, making the melody beautiful and appealing. B section is emotional, and the music is exciting because of the bright color contrast. This section has continuous horizontal pressure, the handle changes greatly, and the technical difficulty is much greater than that of section A. Finally, paragraph A reappeared, and the mood of the music gradually calmed down, like a light rain that disappeared quietly, and like sparkling autumn water, rippling away under the touch of the breeze.

Although music is not difficult, if you don't experience it deeply and practice hard, it will appear dry and lifeless when you pop it up. My experience is that you must choose the D-fingered piano to play this piece, otherwise your left hand will easily touch the strings. The right-handed technique seems simple, but it requires excellent basic skills. If the triplet is not handled evenly, the music will sound stumbling and have no sense of fluency. When playing, P refers to the hook playing method, and A refers to the parallel playing method, which is beneficial to express the singing of the music. The most important thing is to have a sense of music and imagination when playing. Only in this way can you actively grasp the changes of strength, speed and timbre when playing, and make the music full of beauty and expressiveness.

Thirty years have passed, and I have been running for a living all day, so I have no time to play the guitar. But China is no longer a guitar desert. Nowadays, guitarists are constantly emerging, and a world-class guitarist like Yang Xuefei has emerged. Guitar playing programs are also dizzying, but what I like best is love for the Romans. Whenever I encounter setbacks or feel bored, I always listen to a song "Love the Romans" quietly. Wonderful music flows from my heart like a clear spring, taking away all my troubles and melancholy. Listen, it seems that I have returned to that happy and youthful age.
