Hello, I'm John Baptiste, and I'm here today to answer your questions from the internet.

大家好，我是約翰-巴普蒂斯特，今天我來回答大家從網上提出的問題。

All major keys are created equal, but E flat is the best.

所有大調都是一樣的，但降 E 調最好。

It's funny you say that, Mel, because E flat is my favorite key.

你這麼說真有意思，梅爾，因為降 E 調是我最喜歡的調。

Listen to the way that you can make it moan.

E flat is different from other keys, because if you want a technical explanation, it has three flats.

降 E 調與其他調不同，因為它有三個降調。

The tonality of E flat is a brown shade that really creates a sense of warmth.

E 平坦部的音調是棕色，能營造出一種溫暖的感覺。

D flat feels like mother earth, and then E flat feels like the tree that's coming from the ground.

降 D 感覺像大地母親，而降 E 則像從地面長出的大樹。

So it's the roots that are dug into the soil.

So there's a bit of an aspirational quality to it, whereas if you listen to D flat, it's home, womb space, but then we go to E flat, it's still grounded, but it's like, come with me, can you see me?

如果你聽降D調，那是家的感覺，是子宮的空間，但到了降E調，它仍然是接地氣的，但它就像，跟我來，你能看到我嗎？

So it's one of my favorite keys, because I like to keep my feet on the ground, but my eyes to the stars.

所以，這是我最喜歡的鑰匙之一，因為我喜歡腳踏實地，但眼睛卻盯著星空。

Edwin Castle's question, what was the one thing that really improved your music making?

埃德溫-卡塞爾（Edwin Castle）的問題是：什麼東西能真正提高你的音樂創作水準？

Okay, Edwin, what's one thing that really improves my music making?

好吧，埃德溫，有什麼東西能真正提高我的音樂創作水準？

That's the constant thing of life, is how do we listen?

這就是生活的常態，我們該如何傾聽？

How do we listen in a way that is both passive, where we're not participating in speaking or playing, but is also active, because we are just as engaged as if we were speaking or playing.

我們如何以一種既被動又主動的方式傾聽，即我們不參與說話或遊戲，因為我們就像在說話或遊戲一樣投入。

If you figure out how to do that, everything improves.

如果你能做到這一點，一切都會得到改善。

If you practice a scale, or if you practice arpeggios or something, or if you practice playing the blues, you know?

如果你練習音階，或者練習琶音什麼的，或者練習演奏藍調，你知道嗎？

It's all about listening, because it's infinite.

這就是傾聽，因為它是無限的。

There's infinite ways you can practice scales and arpeggios and practice playing different styles, and you can listen to a piece and learn something about it every day of your life, and just, it's infinite.

你可以用無數種方法練習音階和琶音，練習演奏不同風格的曲子，你可以每天聽一首曲子，每天都能學到一些東西，這就是無限的樂趣。

那麼，我該如何更好地傾聽呢？

Well, it's practicing it everywhere you are, all the time, even when you're not playing, especially when you're not playing.

那就是無時無刻、無處不在地練習，即使不演奏的時候，尤其是不演奏的時候。

microburrito1, what's your favorite type of piano music to play?

microburrito1，你最喜歡彈奏哪種類型的鋼琴曲？

Well, my favorite type of piano music to play is like blues.

我最喜歡彈的鋼琴曲類型是藍調。

So you know, I play that kind of music a lot.

I also like playing, you know, just some mellow kind of, you know.

我還喜歡演奏，你知道的，就是一些圓潤的曲子，你知道的。

哦，你知道，所有的東西，男人。

I've been playing a lot of bebop lately, arguably one of the most, if not the most sophisticated form of music ever invented.

我最近一直在演奏貝波普，這可以說是有史以來最複雜的音樂形式之一，甚至可以說是最複雜的音樂形式之一。

Musicians take all of the logic of counterpoint and all the logic of the American popular song and blend them together in this form of co-creation that is lightning quick wit in music form.

音樂家們將對位法的所有邏輯和美國流行歌曲的所有邏輯融合在一起，以這種共同創造的形式，用音樂的形式表現出閃電般的機智。

There's a rhythmic basis to bebop, too, that makes it very, very distinct.

bebop也有自己的節奏基礎，這使得它非常、非常獨特。

There's a lot of triplets, and there's a lot of rhythms that are going between eighth notes and triplets.

有很多三連音，有很多節奏介於八分音符和三連音之間。

And you have a scale that is a ... There's different forms of what we call bebop scales that are made so that you can land throughout the changes in ways that are graceful and that match the changes.

你的音階是...我們所說的貝波普音階有不同的形式，這樣你就能在整個變化過程中以優美的方式著地，並與變化相匹配。

So you're doing all of this weaving and melodic construction in the context of the rhythm section that's also doing that.

是以，你要在節奏組的配合下完成所有的編織和旋律結構。

The drums are playing rhythms and reacting to what you're playing and vice versa.

鼓在演奏節奏，並對你的演奏做出反應，反之亦然。

The bass is playing a walking line on every beat, and that's a low melody.

貝司在每一拍都彈奏著走線，那是一段低沉的旋律。

And then the piano is creating all of this different counterpoint to everything that's happening.

然後，鋼琴與所有發生的一切形成不同的對位。

At least at one time, there's four people that are creating counterpoint together.

至少在同一時間，有四個人在一起創作對位。

Alpha Q984, recently my piano teacher asked me to add more feel to my playing.

Alpha Q984，最近我的鋼琴老師要求我在演奏時增加一些感覺。

好吧，bebop是關於感覺的，阿爾法。

Let's see, we're talking about bebop, so ...

讓我想想，我們說的是貝波普，所以......

You've got to have a certain kind of ... That kind of ...

So that, you can play that without feel, like ...

這樣，你就可以毫無感覺地演奏，就像......

So it's like, it's hard to describe feel other than rhythmic intention and clarity of execution.

是以，除了節奏的意圖和執行的清晰度，很難描述其他感覺。

So if you wanted to talk about feel and how to get your feel better, start with getting your rhythm better and your execution.

是以，如果你想談談手感以及如何改善手感，那就從改善節奏和執行力開始吧。

And then, even like when I was just playing it, like I'm just throwing it off right now.

然後，甚至就像我剛開始玩的時候，就像我現在把它扔掉一樣。

Even when you make a mistake, if your intention is there and execution is almost there, it's going to come off better than if you were playing all of the right notes, but it was kind of iffy rhythm.

即使你犯了錯誤，如果你的初衷是好的，執行力也差不多，那就會比你彈出所有正確的音符，但節奏有點不穩定的效果要好。

So feel is really ... Starts with rhythmic intention and matching that level of intensity of your intention.

所以，感覺真的是......從有節奏的意向開始，並與意向的強度相匹配。

You know exactly how you want to play it, what swag you want it to come off with.

你很清楚自己想怎麼玩，想讓它有什麼樣的效果。

Matching that with all of the right notes.

So that's what you got to do, you know what I'm saying?

這就是你要做的，你明白我的意思嗎？

Document your progress and your observations.

Think about what you're doing from the perspective of constructing yourself.

從構建自我的角度來思考你正在做的事情。

You're building your ideal version of you.

And you look at the things that you want to do, and you look at the things that you can't do, and you figure out how to bridge the gap between those and close it a little bit each day.

你看看自己想做的事，再看看自己不能做的事，然後想辦法縮小差距，每天縮小一點點。

And you decide, okay, these are my objectives.

然後你決定，好吧，這些就是我的目標。

And then you go after those very methodically.

So you try different things, and then obviously the fundamentals.

所以，你要嘗試不同的東西，然後顯然是基本的東西。

That's the best way to continue to improve.

Every day you can just learn something about the fundamentals of music.

每天你都能學到一些音樂基礎知識。

Learn something about music making from reading a biography or sitting at the piano and just playing the C major, because sometimes I will do that while I play a chord.

從閱讀傳記或坐在鋼琴前彈奏 C 大調中瞭解一些音樂創作方面的知識，因為有時我會在彈奏和絃時這樣做。

And I'll just sit and listen to it with no objective other than to listen and let it reveal something to me that maybe I haven't heard.

我只是坐下來聽，沒有其他目的，只是傾聽，讓它向我揭示一些我可能沒有聽到過的東西。

Get acquainted with the instrument and with music like it's a friend, like it's a part of you.

熟悉樂器和音樂，就像它是你的朋友，就像它是你的一部分。

There's just so much that you can do to absorb it.
