TEDTalks, Jennifer Lin – Magical improv from 14-year-old pianist (2004)

Jennifer Lin – Magical improv from 14-year-old pianist (2004)

(Applause)

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Like the speaker before me, I am -- that's the TED virgin, I guess -- I'm also the first time here, and I don't know what to say.

(Applause)

I'm really happy that Mr. Anderson invited me. I'm really grateful that I get a chance to play for everyone. And the song that I just played was by Józef Hofmann. It's called Kaleidoscope. And Hofmann is a Polish pianist and composer of the late 19th century, and he's widely considered one of the greatest pianists of all time.

I have another piece that I'd like to play for you. It's called "Abegg Variations" by Robert Schumann, a German 19th century composer. The name Abegg -- Abegg is actually A-B-E-G-G, and that's the main theme in the melody. That comes from the last name of one of Schumann's female friends.

(Laughter)

But he wrote that for his wife.

(Laughter)

So, actually, if you listen carefully, there's supposed to be five variations on this Abegg theme. It's written around 1834, so, even though it's old, I hope you like it.

(Applause)

Now comes the part that I hate. Well, because Mr. Anderson told me that this session is called "Sync and Flow," I was wondering, "What do I know that these geniuses don't?" So, I'll talk about musical composition, even though I don't know where to start.

How do I compose? I think Yamaha does a really good job of teaching us how to compose. What I do first is, I make a lot of little musical ideas -- you can just improvise here at the piano -- and I choose one of those to become my main theme, my main melody, like the Abegg that you just heard. And once I choose my main theme I have to decide, out of all the styles in music, what kind of style do I want? And this year I composed a romantic style. So, for inspiration I listened to Liszt and Tchaikovsky and all the great romantic composers.

Next, I make the structure of the entire piece with my teachers. They help me plan out the whole piece, and then the hard part is filling it in with musical ideas, because then you have to think. And then, when the piece takes somewhat of a solified form -- solidified, excuse me -- solidified form, you're supposed to actually polish the piece, polish the details, and then polish the overall performance of the composition.

And another thing that I enjoy doing is drawing -- drawing, because I like to draw, you know, Japanese anime art. I think that's a craze among teens right now. And once I realized it, there's a parallel between creating music and creating art, because for your motive or your little initial idea for your drawing, it's your character -- you want to decide who do you want to draw, or if you want to draw an original character. And then you want to decide, how are you going to draw the character? Like, am I going to use one page? Am I going to draw it on the computer? Am I going to use a two-page spread like a comic book for more grandiose effect, I guess? And then you have to do the initial sketch of the character, which is like your structure of a piece, and then you add pen and pencil and whatever details that you need -- that's polishing the drawing.

And another thing that both of these have in common is your state of mind, because I don't -- I'm one of those teenagers that are really easily distracted, so if I'm trying to do homework, if I'm trying to do homework and I don't feel like it, I'll try to draw or, you know, waste my time. And then what happens is, sometimes I absolutely can't draw or I can't compose at all, and then it's like there's too much on your mind. You can't focus on what you're supposed to do. And sometimes, if you manage to use your time wisely and work on it, you'll get something out of it, but it doesn't come naturally. What happens is, if something magical happens, if something natural happens to you, you're able to produce all this beautiful stuff instantly, and then that's what I consider flow, because that's when everything clicks and you're able to do anything. You feel like you're on top of your game and you can do anything you want.

I'm not going to play my own composition today because, although I did finish it, it's way too long. Instead, I'd like to try something called improvisation. I have here seven note cards, one with each note of the musical alphabet, and I'd like someone to come up here and choose five. Anyone to come up here and choose five? And then I can make it into some sort of melody and I'll improvise it. Wow, a volunteer, yay!

(Applause)

Nice to meet you.

Goldie Hawn: Thank you. Choose five?

Jennifer Lin: Yes, five cards. Any five cards.

GH: OK. One. Two. Three. Oh, D and F -- too familiar.

(Laughter)

JL: One more.

GH: OK, E for effort.

JL: Would you mind reading them out in the order that you chose them?

GH: OK. C, G, B, A, and E.

JL: Thank you very much.

GH: You're welcome. And what about these?

JL: I won't use them. Thank you.

(Applause)

Now, she chose C, G, B, A, E. I'm going to try to put that in some sort of order. OK, that's nice. So, I'm going to have a moment to think, and I'll try to make something out of it.

(Applause)

The next song, or the encore, that I'm going to play is called "Bumble Boogie" by Jack Fina. (Applause)

(Applause)

Ну, оскільки містер Андерсон сказав мені, що ця сесія називається «Синхронізація та потік», я запитав: «Що я знаю, чого не знають ці генії?» So, I’ll talk about musical composition, even though I don’t know where to start. |||||作曲|||||||| |||||musikalische Komposition||||||||

Next, I make the structure of the entire piece with my teachers. Dann mache ich mit meinen Lehrern die Struktur des gesamten Stücks. They help me plan out the whole piece, and then the hard part is filling it in with musical ideas, because then you have to think. Sie helfen mir, das ganze Stück zu planen, und der schwierige Teil ist dann, es mit musikalischen Ideen auszufüllen, denn dann muss man nachdenken. And then, when the piece takes somewhat of a solified form -- solidified, excuse me -- solidified form, you’re supposed to actually polish the piece, polish the details, and then polish the overall performance of the composition. ||||||||||||||katılaşmış|||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||verfestigt||fest geworden|||||||||||||||||||||||Komposition |||||||||고체화된||고체화|||||||||다듬다|||||||||||||| |||||||||固まった形||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||solidificada||||||||||||||||||||||||| І тоді, коли твір набуває певної міри твердої форми -- твердої, вибачте -- твердої форми, ви повинні фактично відшліфувати твір, відполірувати деталі, а потім відшліфувати загальне виконання композиції.

And another thing that I enjoy doing is drawing -- drawing, because I like to draw, you know, Japanese anime art. І ще одне, що мені подобається робити, це малювати -- малювати, тому що я люблю малювати, знаєте, мистецтво японського аніме. I think that’s a craze among teens right now. ||||Wahn|||| ||||ブーム|||| ||||moda|||| Я вважаю, що зараз це божевілля серед підлітків. And once I realized it, there’s a parallel between creating music and creating art, because for your motive or your little initial idea for your drawing, it’s your character -- you want to decide who do you want to draw, or if you want to draw an original character. And then you want to decide, how are you going to draw the character? Like, am I going to use one page? Am I going to draw it on the computer? Am I going to use a two-page spread like a comic book for more grandiose effect, I guess? |||||||||||||||grandiose||| |||||||||||||||görkemli||| And then you have to do the initial sketch of the character, which is like your structure of a piece, and then you add pen and pencil and whatever details that you need -- that’s polishing the drawing. |||||||||||||||당신의|구조|||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||仕上げ||

Und eine weitere Gemeinsamkeit ist die Gemütsverfassung, denn ich gehöre zu den Teenagern, die sich sehr leicht ablenken lassen. Wenn ich also versuche, Hausaufgaben zu machen und keine Lust habe, versuche ich zu zeichnen oder meine Zeit zu verschwenden. І ще одне спільне для обох – це ваш настрій, тому що я ні... я один із тих підлітків, яких дуже легко відволікти, тож якщо я намагаюся робити домашнє завдання, якщо я намагаюся робити домашнє завдання, і мені не хочеться, я спробую малювати або, знаєте, марную час. And then what happens is, sometimes I absolutely can’t draw or I can’t compose at all, and then it’s like there’s too much on your mind. You can’t focus on what you’re supposed to do. Man kann sich nicht auf das konzentrieren, was man eigentlich tun sollte. And sometimes, if you manage to use your time wisely and work on it, you’ll get something out of it, but it doesn’t come naturally. |||||||||weise||||||||||||||| Und manchmal, wenn man es schafft, seine Zeit klug zu nutzen und daran zu arbeiten, hat man etwas davon, aber es ist nicht selbstverständlich.
