Performance style

Style features

Huang Mengla's name has the homophony of "Mengla". His piano sound is not impatient, hesitant, and uncompromising, but also light and capable. On the whole, his performance is delicate, rigorous and natural, and it will not be exaggerated. He has some advantages in the control of vibrato, string kneading and bow. At the same time, he has done a good job in the control of different styles, rhythm and intonation. Generally speaking, with its technical ability, it has been able to deal with the technical problems in many violin works. In the treatment of specific technical issues, Huang Mengla does not pay too much attention to dazzling technology, but let technology serve music, pay attention to the expression of music interest, so as to make its performance convincing and make music resonate with the soul. In addition, Huang Mengla's performance has the feature of "truth". Compared with some performers who pay attention to performance, his performance is natural and always focuses on music. For example, he can practice for six hours for a bow jump, striving to meet the requirements of the work. With Huang Mengla's performance level and hard work, he will gradually form a pronunciation with personal temperament.

Track range

As the winner of Paganini competition, Huang Mengla naturally plays the composer's works in his recording. For example, in his first album, Nicolo Paganini's "clock", "Concerto in B minor" and "theme and variation of melancholy in my heart" were selected. The former is a well-known song in Paganini's violin works. Huang Mengla imitates the sound effect of the bell more naturally. The latter is an unaccompanied work with some difficult skills, which is not only technically difficult, but also in terms of music. This is also Huang Mengla's entry track in the Paganini competition. Starting from the capricious introduction, Huang Mengla showed his advantages in playing. Since then, the six variations have been able to deal with it well, and there is no pressure in dealing with the technical fragments. Besides Paganini, Huang Mengla is also good at playing the works of composers such as Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Anton Leopold Dvorak, as well as violinists such as Tartini, Pablo de sarasadi, Henrik vinyavsky, Chrysler, isayi and Milstein. For example, his first album includes "capriccio, Waltz Etudes" by Saint Saens and Isay; his second album includes "Carmen theme Fantasia" by sarazati and "Prelude and Allegro" by Chrysler. His "capriccio, Waltz Etudes" has a rich musical character. At the same time, he is skillful in the techniques of arpeggio through sentence, eight degree finger changing, three degree ten degree jump, and bowing. From the actual performance of sarasarti's "Carmen Fantasia", Huang Mengla can already compare with the recording of Perlman and other players on the technical level. Chrysler's Prelude and Allegro is regarded as the touchstone of violin performance, which also reflects the technical advantages of Huang Mengla in controlling the bow.
