扩展钢琴技巧
“扩展技巧”是指以非常规方式演奏乐器,从传统乐器中引出新的音色。自 20 世纪初以来,钢琴在这一趋势中一直处于前沿,许多作曲家从约翰·凯奇开始,探索了创新和非正统的发声方法:
- 弓拉钢琴
- Curtis Curtis-Smith 和 Stephen Scott 都开发了使用特制弓拉琴弦的钢琴作品。我们的弓拉钢琴包括三种发音方式,两种是使用非常长的弓,产生持续的声音(样本被循环),另一种是使用舌压板和马毛制作的短弓,产生短促的断奏音。
- 静音钢琴
- 静音钢琴由 George Crumb 首创,这种技术是在钢琴琴弦的节点处轻轻触摸琴弦,然后按下琴键产生泛音。Crumb 通常使用第三泛音,所以听起来比基础音高十二度(一个八度加一个五度)。这是演奏者在仍能按键的情况下可以轻松产生的少数泛音之一,因此我们在 Xtended Piano 乐器中使用了这种技巧。
- 拨弦钢琴
- Henry Cowell 首次提出了用手指或某种拨片拨动琴弦的技术。我们使用吉他拨片录制了拨弦音符,既有琴槌放下的音色,也有琴槌抬起的音色。
- 槌击钢琴
- 钢琴本身有硬毛毡制作的琴槌,但你也可以使用其他槌子敲击琴弦,产生不同的音色。在这个合集里,我们录制了用木槌和马林巴槌敲击琴弦的声音。木槌的音色类似于 20 世纪 20 年代拉格泰姆音乐中的酒吧钢琴或“拇指钉”钢琴(或 Nancarrow 的自动钢琴)。
- 特殊效果钢琴
- 这种经典的自由风格技巧包括直接用手在琴弦上刮擦、敲击琴框、或弹拨琴弦,所有这些都会产生充满钢琴共鸣的巨大音景。

An “Extended technique” is a term to describe playing a musical instrument in an unconventional way, to coax new timbres from a traditional instrument. Since the early 20th century, the piano has been at the forefront of this trend, with many composers from John Cage onwards finding innovative, unorthodox ways of generating sound:
1. BOWED PIANO
Curtis Curtis-Smith and Stephen Scott have both developed piano works in which the performers bow the strings of the piano using specially designed bows. Our bowed piano includes three articulations, two made with very long bows which are sustained (and the samples are looped), and also a short bow made from a tongue depressor and horsehair, which produces a short staccato sound.
2. MUTE PIANO
Notably originated by George Crumb, Mute piano is a technique in which you lightly touch the finger at a nodal point on the piano string and play the key to produce a harmonic; Crumb generally used the 3rd harmonic, so it sounds a 12th above the fundamental (an octave plus a fifth). It is one of the few easily produced harmonics which the performer can actually reach while still being able to play the keys, and so this is what we used for the Xtended Piano instrument.
3. PLUCKED PIANO
Henry Cowell first presented a technique (among others) in which the piano notes are plucked, either with the fingers or a plectrum of some sort. We used a guitar pick and recorded plucked notes with both the piano dampers down and up.
4. MALLET PIANO
A piano has mallets itself (made of hard felt), but you can also hit the strings with foreign mallets to produce a different timbre. For this collection we recorded hitting the strings with a wooden mallet, and with a marimba mallet. The wooden mallet has a timbre reminiscent reminiscent of honky-tonk or “thumb tack” pianos, like those used in ragtime during the 20’s (or Nancarrow’s player piano).
5. SFX PIANO
The classic freestyle technique of simply reaching inside and scraping the strings, knocking the frame, strumming across the strings – all producing a huge soundscape drenched in piano resonance.
