十八岁生日即将到来之际，小女亭然玉立即将就读波士顿哈佛大学……纽约钢琴调音师测试“平均律”特弹奏《离别曲》……欣慰之余有感而生。On the occasion of her eighteenth birthday approaching, the little girl, Ting Ranyu, will immediately study in Boston… The New York piano tuner tested the “average rhythm” and played the “parting song”… She was gratified and emotional.
肖邦的作品10第3号是肖邦为钢琴独奏所作的练习曲，创作于1832年。这一年肖邦是22岁离别故乡移居法国巴黎，这首曲子在法国因旋律被引用为Tino Rossi主唱的流行歌曲，以“Tristesse”为标题《离别》练习曲旋律曲调极为迷人。据传肖邦自己也认为是他最优美的旋律，李斯特曾说：“花上三年时间能写出这样的曲调也值得”……Chopin’s work No. 10 No. 3 is an etude composed by Chopin for a piano solo in 1832. This year, Chopin moved to Paris, France, where he left his hometown at the age of 22. This song was quoted as a popular song sung by Tino Rossi in France because of its melody. The melody of the “Farewell” etude with the title “Tristesse” is extremely charming. It is rumored that Chopin himself thought it was his most beautiful melody. Liszt once said, “It is worth spending three years to write such a melody”…
多年来作为纽约的钢琴调音师始终在探寻钢琴的十二平均律之真谛，因为要通过弹奏后的听感才是最核心的目的。学习得知最早公认律制始于毕达哥拉斯律，优点是和谐、缺点是音程有狼音-无法自由转调。关注优点与缺点之间的中间地带，简单说尽可能保留和谐听感的同时要获得自由转调就非常重要。操作手法是将总音差数分作若干份，分配到音阶之中，以淡化音差带来的狼音，实现和谐感和自由转调。For many years, as a piano tuner in New York, I have been exploring the true meaning of the twelve equal rhythms of the piano, because the core purpose is to listen through the sense of listening after playing. After learning, I learned that the earliest recognized rhythm system began with the Pythagorean law. The advantage is harmony, and the disadvantage is that the pitch has a wolf sound – which cannot be freely transmoded. Pay attention to the middle ground between advantages and disadvantages. Simply put, it is very important to get free trans-tuning while maintaining a harmonious sense of hearing as much as possible. The operation technique is to divide the total sound difference into several parts and distribute it to the scale to dilute the wolf sound brought by the tone difference and achieve a sense of harmony and free transpose.
无论是师徒的言传身教还是四度五度三六度检验调音，以及近来研究的最新款手机调音软件（Pianscope、Tunelab、CyberTuner)，在实践探索的过程中世界各国调音师同仁包括我，都充满了对放弃绝对和谐听感的不甘心——也就是说人们是多么不愿意放弃绝对和谐听感。Whether it is the teaching of teachers and apprentices or four-degree, five-degree, three-six-degree test tuning, and the latest mobile phone tuning software (Pianscope, Tunelab, CyberTuner) recently studied, in the process of practical exploration, tuners from all over the world, including me, are full of unwillingness to give up the sense of absolute harmonious listening – that is to say, how unwilling people are to give up the sense of absolute harmony.
参照历史经验我们得到这样的一条实践主线：音差的分配从4份、5份、6份、7份、8份、10份直至增加到12份，由此依次产生了1/4音差律、1/5音差律、1/6音差律、1/7音差律、1/8音差律、1/10音差律直至1/12音差律。1/12音差律也就是十二平均律——即将24音差分配入12个音，每音2音分——自由转调和谐度的感觉就找到了，完美且愉悦地完成了调音和测试……。祝爱女一路通畅！Referring to historical experience, we get such a practical main line: the distribution of tone difference is from 4 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 10 parts to 12 parts, resulting in 1/4 pitch difference, 1/5 pitch, 1/6 pitch difference, 1/7 pitch difference, 1/8 pitch, 1/10 Differential rhythm up to 1/12 tone difference rhythm. The 1/12 pitch difference rhythm is also the twelve equal rhythm – that is, the 24 pitch differences are assigned to 12 notes, and each note is 2 notes – the feeling of free trans-tuning harmony is found, and the tuning and testing are completed perfectly and happily. I wish my beloved daughter a smooth journey!
