The Timbre Relationship between Piano Performance Skills and Piano Combined with Opera Music Elements in the Context of the Internet of Things

Abstract

The “quintessence of the nation” Peking Opera is a highly comprehensive form of opera, which has a high artistic status in traditional Chinese culture. At present, the combination of the Internet of things and music can be embodied in smart devices, through a computing device that can perceive and exchange data for the purpose of music. In the more than 100 years of development of the piano art in China, many composers have used Peking Opera singing and board styles, or absorbed the essence and connotation of Peking Opera, taking Peking Opera elements as the core material and source of creation and presenting them instrumentally through piano works. For example, in terms of smart musical instruments, the Internet of things and Internet technology are combined to realize the real-time connection between the remote piano and the piano and accurately reproduce all the touch and pedal movements of the player, so that teachers and students in different spaces can listen to the course. Audiences had an immersive course experience. Taking this as an opportunity, we will carry out a series of “remote art education” such as remote master classes and remote concerts, to realize the sharing of educational resources around the world. The piano as the king of musical instruments has been loved by people. During piano performance, touch key techniques and pedaling techniques have a very important influence on the piano’s performance sound effects. Chinese opera is the essence of Chinese national art and one of the treasures of China’s traditional national music. The composers of our country also constantly apply the opera elements to the piano creation and create many kinds of piano works that conform to the traditional Chinese opera style and reflect the characteristics of the piano. Pedal skills are also an important technique in piano performance. The pedaling method is based on thinking about history and showing the player’s intentions. Only using the correct playing skills can make the music more expressive. This study briefly introduces the development of piano in China and the playing skills of the piano, and at the same time, it briefly describes the principle of piano sounding and the sound of piano. Based on the previous studies, the effects of touch key techniques and pedaling techniques on the sound of the piano are discussed. I hope to provide some references for the piano performers. The average similarity between the final music and the original music is 60% and around 70%. This article provides a reference direction for the diversified dissemination and promotion of theatrical art and provides theoretical and technical reference suggestions for the future creation, performance, and teaching of Chinese piano music.
