這首周杰倫的夜曲，講述的是愛人離世的哀傷故事，而愛人生前最喜歡聽的就是蕭邦的夜曲。

「為你彈奏蕭邦的夜曲，紀念我死去的愛情，而我為你隱姓埋名在月光下彈琴……」方文山寫的歌詞，如詩，也如畫，逐句描繪出音樂中的不捨與傷感。

「手在鍵盤敲很輕，我給的思念很小心……」不知為何，我對這句歌詞有特別多的共鳴。對於吉他彈奏者來說，「觸弦」這一件事情，也許是更直接、也更緊密的關係到每個音符的發聲，以及自身情緒的表達吧。每一次的觸弦，都是獨特的觸覺記憶，彷彿在輕輕觸碰自己的心事。

前半段的主歌以rap呈現，但要在獨奏編曲上處理好rap樂段並不是件容易的事。我可以採用常見的做法，很簡單的把rap樂段的旋律、節奏、和聲抓出來後照著彈就好；但這樣做的結果就只能彈出一堆同音反覆的單調音型，毫無樂器獨奏的旋律性可言。

經歷了多個版本的大修，我最後定稿的做法是：根據原作的和聲、節奏動機、旋律音型等要素，將主歌rap樂段進行不同程度的改寫，使其更富旋律性的同時，盡量保持原作的感覺，並流暢的接入最精彩的副歌。

This nocturne by Jay Chou tells the sad story of a lover's death, and the lover's favorite music before his death was Chopin's nocturnes.

"I play Chopin's Nocturne for you to commemorate my dead love, and I play the piano for you incognito under the moonlight..." The lyrics written by Fang Wenshan are like poetry and painting, depicting the reluctance and sadness in the music line by line. Sad.

"My hands tap lightly on the keyboard, my thoughts to you are careful..." For some reason, I particularly resonate with this line of lyrics. For guitar players, the act of "touching the strings" may be more directly and closely related to the sound of each note and the expression of their own emotions. Every time you touch the strings, it is a unique tactile memory, as if you are gently touching your own thoughts.

The first half of the song is presented in rap, but it is not easy to handle the rap section well in the solo arrangement. I can use the common method of simply picking out the melody, rhythm, and harmony of the rap music and playing it accordingly; but the result of doing so is just a bunch of monotonous patterns with the same tone repeated, which is meaningless. The melody of the solo instrument is worth mentioning.

After several revisions, I finally finalized the approach of rewriting the rap section of the main song to varying degrees based on the harmony, rhythmic motives, melody patterns and other elements of the original work, making it more melodic and , try to keep the feeling of the original and smoothly connect to the most exciting chorus.
