Chapter 293 292. The violinists were all innocently confused! What is the name of this piece of music? (Please subscribe!)
The timbre of each instrument is different, with its own natural advantages and also its own natural defects.
Because of the nature of the timbre, it may have advantages in expressing certain emotions and scenes, but it may also be unable to express other emotional scenes well.
The piano is called the king of musical instruments because it has a wide range and timbre, and can express what most musicians want to express. It can be used in many music fields such as classical and pop.
Although the violin is known as one of the world's three major musical instruments along with the piano and guitar, and is widely used, it is still significantly different from the piano. In comparison, the violin has a higher pitch, so it is also called a treble cello, which limits its usage scenarios.
In the field of popular music, the use of violin is far less than that of piano and guitar.
The violin is mainly used in the field of classical music and is the main instrument in mainstream classical orchestras. There are many violins in an orchestra, but there may be only one or two pianos.
So, generally speaking, musical artists who have achieved success in the fields of pop music and piano generally find it difficult to achieve great success in the field of violin.
Because there are huge differences between the two instruments and the two ways of musical expression.
Geniuses like Wang Qian, who have achieved great success in the field of pop music and have also reached the world's top levels in piano composition and performance, must have top-notch talents and special hobbies, and are more likely to invest in this area.
Therefore, in different fields of violin, one will inevitably not be so devoted.
This is the inherent thinking of almost all the artists and art lovers present who understand music, and it is also the common sense they understand.
When Wang Qian said he wanted to play the violin to explain music to David, a world-class violinist, many people thought he was showing off his proficiency in front of an expert.
If he had not demonstrated his world-class violin tuning skills, which made everyone look forward to his violin, everyone would still watch Wang Qian's subsequent performances as a joke.
And now...
Wang Qian actually said that he wanted to play his own violin music? Not to mention Denzel who was standing.
Thousands of audience members and many people who understand music in front of the TV were looking at Wang Qian and wanted to ask: Do you know what you are saying?
Over the past thirty or forty years, the development of classical music has almost stagnated.
However, in the field of piano, one or two new pieces of music that can be spread will occasionally appear, and after a few decades, people should still be able to remember a dozen new piano pieces.
However, in the field of violin, if you ask those violinists, whose music do they play in concerts, the answer is undoubtedly the classic music from long ago.
No violinist will play new music from the last twenty or thirty years.
Because there are really no new works that can be shown off. Some ordinary songs can be performed in casual small gatherings, but they are not good enough to be performed in serious concerts.
so.
Now Wang Qian said that he wanted to play his new violin piece on this occasion, in front of so many top music artists and music lovers from around the world...
All anyone wants to say is – are you Katie?
No, I'm Hillris!
After a short silence, Denzel asked in a strange tone, "Mr. Wang Qian, are you serious? Is this the violin piece you composed yourself?"
Wang Qian had already picked up the violin and was getting familiar with the strength of his arm holding the bow. He looked at Denzel and everyone else and said, "Of course, I take music seriously. I composed this piece based on a love story that is popular among the oriental people. It may contain some artistic thinking from our oriental culture, and I hope this will not hinder your understanding."
Denzel quickly cleared his mind and said seriously, "I think music has no national boundaries or cultural barriers."
Wang Qian had already closed his eyes and said softly, "I also believe in this truth, so I chose this song. Mr. Denzel, you can sit down now."
Denzel nodded, then slowly sat down and whispered to the person next to him, "I don't know why, but I feel a little excited and surprised. I haven't heard any violin music from the East before."
Denzel's friend, who was also his classmate at Juilliard and is a famous New York pianist, said, "I'm looking forward to his piano performance, which has inspired me a lot. But for his violin, I just hope it won't be a disaster. He wants to prove that the expressiveness of music should not be limited by instruments, but the limitations of instruments themselves exist objectively."
Denzel thought for a moment and said, "Yes, you are right."
Then, both of them fell silent, stopped talking, and looked at Wang Qian on the podium.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian.
Hearing what Wang Qian said just now, that this song actually contains oriental culture, this added some mystery to the hearts of many top European and American artists at the scene, and made them more expectant.
Sophie and Taylor, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke and everyone else stared at Wang Qian without blinking.
The teachers and students of China's three major colleges were all extremely nervous.
The last time Wang Qian performed a very high-level guzheng performance in the Moyin class, it was a stunning success. That General's Order has now become a required piece of music for the folk music departments of major music colleges in China. Even He Chaohui and others have heard some voices from CCTV that it might arrange for General's Order to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Therefore, He Chaohui, Peng Donghu, Yang Jiansen and other people from the three colleges are looking forward to whether Wang Qian can really bring surprises on the violin. However, Yang Jiansen whispered: "After Professor Wang played a song "General's Order" at our Magic Music last time, the folk music department of Magic Music kept trying to poach Professor Wang and wanted to dig Professor Wang to the folk music department. If Professor Wang's violin performance is also successful this time, then all the orchestral departments of domestic music colleges will be excited, and Professor Wang will be more sought after."
Peng Donghu said admiringly: "Yes, I met the director of our college's traditional Chinese music department a few days ago, and he said that he would like to invite Professor Wang to give a class in the traditional Chinese music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music next time. I said that our piano department couldn't even get enough of him, so how could we have time to arrange for him to go to the traditional Chinese music department? Those old professors in the traditional Chinese music department were not happy."
There was a gleam in He Chaohui's eyes. Thinking that Wang Qian would return to China next time, she would definitely arrange for Wang Qian to give a class at the Central Conservatory of Music as soon as possible.
She didn't mind the Chinese Music Department and the Orchestra Department of the Central Conservatory of Music trying to snatch Wang Qian away. As long as she could keep Wang Qian in the Central Conservatory of Music, anything would be fine.
What a pity.
Now, He Chaohui sees it very clearly.
It is estimated that no music school in the country can accommodate a super star like Wang Qian.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the piano playing level that Wang Qian just demonstrated, he can easily pick any of the top ten classical music schools in the world. Those top schools will probably beg Wang Qian to join them.
It is estimated that Wang Qian will soon receive invitations from the world's top ten classical music schools...
He Chaohui felt tremendous pressure.
Compared with the world's top four classical schools such as Curtis, Eastman, Juilliard, and Manhattan, the Central Conservatory of Music really has no competitiveness.
if……
He Chaohui stopped thinking and didn't want to think any further.
That was not the result she wanted to see. She looked at her daughter Jiang Yu, Qin Xuerong, and Murong Yue who were sitting in front of her, and just hoped that these girls could influence Wang Qian.
Then, like everyone else, her eyes were fixed on the podium.
I saw that Wang Qian on the podium still had his eyes closed, with the violin resting on his chin, holding the bow in his right hand, his body swaying slightly to the inexplicable rhythm, and the expression on his face gradually became different from before, as if he was feeling something, as if he was extremely intoxicated!
No one spoke.
Even everyone unconsciously tried to lower their breathing as much as possible.
No one wanted to disturb Wang Qian's current state.
Most of the people present were music artists, and the others were also senior fans of music art. They all knew that artists have their own emotional accumulation process before they can find the best state to play the music effect they want most.
Obviously, everyone can see that Wang Qian is brewing his emotions and looking for the best state at this moment.
So, no one at the scene felt strange.
It’s just that many audiences watching TV outside the venue who don’t understand the art of music felt a little depressed and strange, but they didn’t complain, because everyone saw the atmosphere at the scene and saw that many experts at the scene didn’t think this was abnormal. Wouldn’t it make them look ignorant if they complained now?
Therefore, several major social media platforms in Europe and the United States are now much quieter.
The audience watching TV are also looking forward to Wang Qian’s next performance!
Insist on not playing other people's music, only playing your own music, even the violin must play its own violin music...
Will this Chinese person overturn the car? Many ordinary people instinctively feel that Wang Qian seems to have more artistic temperament when they see the violin.
More than a minute passed like this...
Wang Qian slowly raised his right hand holding the bow, and then slowly pulled the strings.
A faint melodious violin sound was heard.
Wang Qian exuded a sad and heavy temperament, which immediately infected many people.
Because the music emitted by the violin also conveys a sad mood.
Black and white images appeared involuntarily in front of many people's eyes.
Those are pictures of life in the oppressive feudal society.
Many people have a sense of empathy and feel depressed themselves!
Dawson, Max, Kalman, Malone, and later David, Denzel and others all have this feeling. They are all top music artists, and their understanding of music art is the most authoritative in the world.
Just the opening paragraph.
Their eyes all lit up, and then they all stared at Wang Qian closely without blinking.
David and Denzel's bodies trembled. Both of them were masters in the field of violin. They could see and hear at once that Wang Qian's performance was definitely that of a master in the field of violin. It was definitely not a professional entry-level performance like when they played the piano, but a true top-level master-level performance.
This ability to mobilize emotions, this aura, and this sense of immersion he creates for the audience are no less than those of the world's top ten violinists.
However, as Wang Qian continued to play, the emotions expressed in the music became clearer and clearer...
In less than three minutes...
David and Denzel both saw pictures at the same time, which were the emotions and stories expressed in the violin music.
It is obvious that this violin piece is a narrative piece that tells a complete story.
And none of them had heard the story.
They didn't have any specific concepts or images in their minds, but at this moment, listening to Wang Qian's live performance, the emotions created by the music gradually portrayed pictures in their minds, and gradually showed them the story clearly. This was a musical performance ability that was definitely beyond their level.
They all saw that this piece of music, like Wang Qian's poem "When You're Old", was about the eternal theme of music and art - love! Moreover, it was a love tragedy!
The tremendous pressure from society and family, as well as the joy of being in love, appeared extremely clearly before their eyes.
And this isn't just how David and Denzel feel.
This was also the feeling of almost all other audience members.
Everyone's face was intoxicated and shocked.
because……
Now, no one doubted Wang Qian's violin skills, and no one doubted whether the violin music he composed was a disaster! All they could do now was enjoy it...
Enjoy the violin performance by the world's top masters.
Enjoy this narrative song from a love story of oriental history and culture.
The most important thing is.
This piece of music made them feel absolutely complete.
They saw the tragedy of life facing social pressure, the beauty and joy of love, the helplessness and tragedy of love encountering obstacles, and even saw the death of love, and the tragedy of one person dying for love...
And at the end! It was a poignant and high-pitched song that gave everyone goosebumps.
It seemed that their love was reborn from the ashes in death.
It seems that the two people who love each other are finally together.
Everyone at the scene only thought of one possibility.
That is, suicide for love!
In order to be together, two people are willing to die together.
This kind of love can't help but move people.
David couldn't help crying after listening to the ten-minute song, and his tears never stopped. He was deeply moved by such a sad and tragic love story.
Max, Kalman, Dawson, Malone, and later Mars, Elton and others also wiped away their tears and were moved by this love story.
Many other sentimental artists and art lovers could not help but shed tears to varying degrees.
He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu and other members of the Oriental Art Troupe have a deeper understanding of this song. After all, they are Orientals and can better understand the Oriental cultural elements in it. They feel the love story in the song and the concrete pictures they see, and they have a very familiar feeling in their hearts.
It seemed that they had all heard the love story told by this song! However, they could not remember it for a moment.
Yang Jiansen once again whispered in admiration: "It's so sad and beautiful. This piece of music has definitely reached the level of a world-famous piece. Of course, the most important thing is that Professor Wang's violin playing level has definitely reached the level of the world's top masters. It's incredible. He is only 30 years old. How did he do it... I can't imagine it at all!"
Peng Donghu's eyes never left Wang Qian, and he said in a low voice: "I never thought that, and I think no one present would have thought that Professor Wang's violin playing level could reach such a world-class level. Those foreigners who looked down on Professor Wang just now are probably stunned."
He Chaohui's eyes sparkled with astonishing light, and she said lightly: "It's a pity. If Professor Wang could join our Central Conservatory of Music, then within ten years, our Central Conservatory of Music might be able to enter the top ten in the world."
He Chaohui's words surprised the teachers and students from the three major colleges around him.
Can Wang Qian alone help the Central Conservatory of Music enter the top ten in the world ranking of classical music schools within ten years? You know, the Central Conservatory of Music is only at the tail end of the top fifty in the world ranking, ranking in the forties, just barely crossing the threshold of a famous school, and the gap to the top ten is really huge. It is almost impossible to catch up with the top ten famous schools within a hundred years.
Those top ten famous schools have all gone through at least half a century of continuous development and accumulation, and have come to this point with the continuous donations of a lot of capital and alumni! How many years has the Central Conservatory of Music been developing? Can it catch up with the top ten famous schools in ten years just by joining Wang Qian? No top musician in the world can do it. Even those master musicians cannot turn an ordinary school into a top ten famous school in the world in a short period of time.
When several of the world's top universities started out, they all invited the world's top master musicians to come and take charge. They then used the musician's reputation to continue to invite more talented musicians, constantly increasing the college's heritage. Only after two or three generations of management would they achieve success and become a prestigious school in the field of music.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Want to bring the Central Conservatory of Music to the ranks of the world's top schools within ten years? No one can do it.
However, after they were shocked, they looked at Wang Qian again and listened to Wang Qian's violin performance, and they were inexplicably shocked and expectant!
Those great music masters in history couldn't do it...
Who says Professor Wang can't do it? Those masters have never achieved the level that Wang Qian is at now.
In the history of music, there has never been a master musician who could practice several instruments at the same time and reach the level of a world-class master.
Moreover, no master performer can express music so clearly!
Now.
Only Wang Qian did it.
So.
If Wang Qian could be kept in a school, and all his talents could be retained in a school, perhaps it would be possible to bring a school to the top ten in the world? At least, everyone believed that Wang Qian could definitely greatly improve the strength and foundation of a college's piano department, orchestra department, and folk music department.
all of a sudden!
People from the three major music academies became slightly excited.
Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu did not argue with He Chaohui of the Central Conservatory of Music for the position of the students in this situation where they were surrounded by foreigners. They stood on the side of Chinese musicians and hoped that a world-class university in the field of classical music could emerge in China. If they could choose, they would definitely choose the Central Conservatory of Music instead of the Magic Conservatory of Music and the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music.
After all, the Central Conservatory of Music has more legitimate status and receives greater state support. If it can become one of the world's top universities, it will be more representative. At the same time, it will also further promote the synchronous development and progress of other top domestic music schools such as the Magic Conservatory of Music and the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music.
This will promote the rapid development of the entire Chinese classical music field...
seemingly!
This picture is very beautiful...
But!
Everyone looked at Wang Qian on the podium again, listening to the song as Wang Qian devoted himself to playing, feeling the aura that penetrated the soul, and watching thousands of people at the scene being moved and immersed in it, with at least hundreds of people shedding tears.
Everyone in the Chinese delegation was thinking...
In China, which music school can accommodate such a super star? Moreover, Wang Qian is still so young, it is impossible for him to devote his entire life to a school and give up his own career!
So, He Chaohui and the others thought about it and their expressions became gloomy.
Taylor, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Maou Chiba, who had only had short contact with Wang Qian, were the most shocked. They all stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes!
They couldn't imagine that Wang Qian could play the violin at such a high level and create such a beautiful and complete violin piece! According to Wang Qian, this is a violin concerto. Without the accompaniment of other instruments, Wang Qian can play it to such a high level by playing alone. If a complete concerto music can be added, wouldn't it be more perfect?
Chiba Mao and Nakamori Miyuki, who were already on the verge of becoming Wang Qian's fans, now felt that Wang Qian's image became even more lofty in their hearts.
Taylor and Sophie looked at each other and found that the distance between them and Wang Qian had become even greater. They could not see how far apart they were! They had thought about competing with Wang Qian before, but now they had completely given up the idea and could only compete with each other.
However, they looked at Qin Xuerong again and thought that it would be better to let themselves enter the circle first!
Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan and Ru Ke, three young talented musicians from China, all closed their eyes and appreciated the piece of music while trying to understand what it expressed.
Xiao Dongmei also closed her eyes, listened carefully to Wang Qian's music, and felt the pictures that she saw with her heart!
Playing until the last minute.
Xiao Dongmei and Liu Shengnan opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and saw that each other had strange expressions.
Xiao Dongmei said calmly: "You heard it too? Then tell me."
Liu Shengnan smiled and said, "You heard it too, right? I'll let you speak first."
Both of them recognized which folk story the song was about, but they both gave way and let the other speak first.
Of course, neither of them thought that they or the other party was wrong.
After all, both of them are top talents, and if they have a definite idea, they will hardly go wrong.
Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Qin Xuehong, Qin Xuerong, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao and others all looked at Xiao Dongmei and Liu Shengnan with expectant eyes, waiting for them to give the answer.
With their ears, they could tell that this was a tragic love story, but there were so many love stories in folk tales, and almost all of them had tragic endings. Tragedy was the main factor that allowed love stories to be passed down, so they couldn't tell which specific tragedy it was.
Moreover, Liu Shengnan is a top genius who has achieved success in both literature and music, so she has an advantage in this regard!
Xiao Dongmei is also a top talent in the field of literature and has a good understanding of music, so it is not surprising that she can hear it.
As for the others, they are not as comprehensive as these two, so it is impossible to hear it out in a short time.
However, the two looked at each other and continued to listen to Wang Qian's final performance without saying anything.
Qin Xuerong pinched her sister Qin Xuehong's arm and asked in a low voice: "Sister, did you hear it?"
Qin Xuehong is also a student of literature who graduated from the prestigious Peking University. She is also a writer. In the eyes of other ordinary people, she is considered a genius. However, in front of Liu Shengnan and Xiao Dongmei, she is nothing. So she shook her head modestly: "I didn't hear it, but there are a few alternatives. I won't embarrass myself."
Chen Xiaowen and Ru Ke looked at each other. They both had some ideas about this, but they couldn't say them out loud.
Chen Xiaowen focuses on music, while Ru Ke likes rock music. Their understanding of history and culture is definitely not as profound as that of the others, but they both have some ideas in their minds but just don't want to say them.
The performance is almost over!
Everyone can hear it.
Because the musical expression of Wang Qian's performance is too clear.
The sense of immersion is too strong.
Everyone can hear that this is the end of the story. The melody and atmosphere are somewhat similar to the beginning, as if it is a pattern that echoes the beginning and the end.
Tragic ending.
At the beginning, everyone saw the musical expression of love suicide, so it seemed that the two were together again, which was another kind of perfection. There was also a climax, as if something beautiful had happened, but in the end, the main theme of tragedy was still there.
When Wang Qian finished the last note and his right hand holding the bow slowly took it off the strings, the whole audience remained silent.
Thousands of people were still immersed in the story atmosphere created by this song, and many were secretly wiping away tears.
Wang Qian slowly took the violin off his shoulder. His chin and shoulders still hurt a little. After all, he hadn't played for a long time. However, he still had a satisfied smile on his face. He held the violin and the bow, bowed gently to everyone present, and said two words lightly: "Thank you..."
Many people at the scene were pulled out of the story of the song by Wang Qian's voice. They looked at Wang Qian in shock, only to find that two lines of tears had already spread down their faces.
Many great artists in the front row had already woken up, and had been trying to listen to Wang Qian's performance as clearly as possible. However, the more clearly they were, the more shocked they were by Wang Qian's violin playing level and the charm of this piece of music.
Their vision and appreciation ability are the most authoritative and top-level in the world. They all believe that Wang Qian's violin playing level is absolutely at the world's top master level. Even if his musical expression ability is not as good as the piano performance just now, it is not much different. He is even slightly better than the top ten violinists today.
After all, they have all heard performances by other top ten violinists, but they have never experienced such an intoxicating performance where they could clearly see the musical picture at any of the top ten violinists in the world.
This song is also an absolutely representative and excellent piece of music.
This almost perfectly answers the question that Professor David just asked Wang Qian.
Many violinists at the scene, as well as several top players ranked among the world's top ten violinists, all looked at Wang Qian in shock, their eyes full of disbelief and bitterness! They were just here to watch the fun...
Unexpectedly, the result was inexplicably surpassed by a pianist and singer playing the violin?
Every violinist has a strange feeling of having suffered an unexpected disaster, as if he were beaten for no reason while walking on the street watching a commotion.
Wang Qian, who was standing on the podium, looked at Professor David and said with a smile, "Professor David, I think my answer is clear enough, right? Are you satisfied?"
David was in a sensitive period, especially when it came to love stories, so he was still immersed in the sadness of the song. He wiped away his tears, stood up tremblingly, looked at Wang Qian and said, "I am very satisfied. Please forgive my contempt for you just now, and please forgive my ignorance of you. You are a genius beyond my imagination. Your talent on the violin is also unparalleled. But, can I know the name of this song?"
The people around Professor David quickly reached out to support him to prevent him from falling.
Everyone at the scene looked at Wang Qian, expecting him to say the name of the song.
Wang Qian slowly put the violin into the box intact, and then said: "This piece of music is a relatively complex and complete concerto. The solo just now was actually very incomplete, so the effect was not very good."
All the music artists at the scene were speechless, including top artists such as Max and Malone, Dawson, Kalman and David Denzel.
Your performance level is beyond that of almost all violinists here, isn't that great?
What is your good? Is it God coming? Everyone feels incredible!
However, at this moment, for the first time, he no longer doubted Wang Qian's words, but suddenly and strangely developed a sense of taking it for granted, as if what Wang Qian said was right, that's it.
Everyone was shocked...
Then he thought that it was Wang Qian who defeated all the contempt, discrimination and doubt in their hearts with his perfect and world-shocking performances time and time again, and forged a strong sense of trust in their hearts.
This sense of trust made them believe anything Wang Qian said.
No matter what Wang Qian said now, their first step was not to question or disdain it, but to face it squarely.
applause……
Suddenly it rang.
All the great artists in the front row, including Marlon, Max, Dawson, Kalman, David, Denzel, etc., stood up and gave applause to Wang Qian.
Then, everyone in the audience quickly stood up together, clapped loudly, and gave the warmest applause to Wang Qian.
Even Denzel, who had been holding his breath, was now full of admiration and praise. Looking at the violin on the table, which was also his favorite, even though its shape was changed by Wang Qian, he no longer felt angry, but excited and expectant.
Denzel likes this song very much and he looks forward to the scene of himself playing this song.
The applause continued.
Many viewers in front of the TVs outside the venue were also shocked and confused at this moment! A few people who understand classical music understood it. Although the atmosphere was not as good as on the spot, they also heard that Wang Qian's performance level was extremely high, absolutely world-class, so they all applauded together or made praises on social media.
Most of the people who didn't understand were confused, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Because, when everyone saw the warm atmosphere and Professor David's answer, they knew that Wang Qian's performance was absolutely a great success and was recognized and praised by all the music artists on the scene. Naturally, they could not say anything against it, as that would make them seem even more ignorant and lacking in artistic appreciation.
As a result, on social media in Europe and the United States, there was a rare one-sided praise and admiration for Wang Qian!
But everyone is curious.
What is the name of this violin piece that tells an oriental love story and has an oriental mysterious color? Please subscribe and support!
