Chapter 297 296. Is this the Chinese folk music? Love it! (Subscribe)

Thousands of people at the scene returned to silence again! All pairs of eyes were staring at Wang Qian.

Because when Wang Qian said this, he exuded extremely strong self-confidence.

seem!

The pipa in Wang Qian's hand seems to be the source of his confidence.

This is the confidence and courage that only masters who have mastered a musical instrument to the master level have.

Many European and American viewers watching the live broadcast were also confused at this moment.

Many viewers still don't understand what happened.

The most common question on social media is: What is the Pipa? Almost all ordinary European and American audiences don’t know what the Pipa is, what it looks like, or what sound it can make.

Even some second or third generation Chinese immigrants who grew up in Europe and the United States basically don't know about Chinese traditional musical instruments such as the pipa.

Watching Wang Qian tuning the pipa on TV, questions popped up on Facebook and Twitter.

“God, can he really play this instrument?”

“It looks like a guitar.”

"His piano and violin are already world-class. I think he may not have enough time and energy to practice the pipa, which looks very difficult."

"According to the information I have learned, the pipa is a very unpopular national musical instrument in the whole of China. Only a few major music academies and national orchestras have people who can play it skillfully, and almost no one in the folk can play the pipa."

"Wow, am I going to hear music from China? To be honest, the violin piece just now really impressed me. It's different from many classic pieces. I'm really looking forward to more music with Chinese elements. It's been a long time since I heard a piece of music that impressed me."

"Let's get started."

"Can he play it? From what he said, he seemed very confident, and he seemed very professional when tuning it."

…

Nick and the middle-aged man beside him had constantly changing expressions. They looked at each other and saw the lack of confidence and worry in each other's eyes!

Looking at Wang Qian, his absolute confidence that almost influenced the entire audience, and the way he skillfully tuned the pipa, they couldn't help but doubt whether their judgment was wrong.

Myers asked Elton, "Have you ever seen this instrument?"

Elton nodded. "I have seen this kind of musical instrument in a small museum in Europe. It is a very ancient Chinese musical instrument. It is older than all the musical instruments in the West."

Mars: “Is it difficult to play?”

Elton shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't learned about it. But I think I have some expectations for Mr. Wang Qian."

Mars nodded and smiled, then looked at Wang Qian with many expectations in his eyes.

If it were before, they would definitely have been sarcastic.

But now, both of them are really convinced by Wang Qian.

They all knew deeply how incredible the musical background and level of Wang Qian had just demonstrated were. In today's world, almost no one could compare to him. Even in the history of music development, there were probably only a handful of people who could compare with him, and they were basically all masters.

In other words, in their eyes, Wang Qian can now be compared with the musical masters who have gone down in history.

So, even though they all knew that this instrument was extremely unpopular.

However, since Wang Qian said so, they believed what Wang Qian said.

This kind of trust was inexplicably established in the hearts of many people at the scene.

Wang Qian's image in their hearts became taller.

so.

Questioning looks and expressions are now a minority; most people are calm and expectant.

The people on the Chinese Music Delegation were the most excited! He Chaohui said with a trembling voice: "If Professor Wang's pipa performance is successful, it will definitely have a huge impact. It will have a huge role in promoting our Chinese folk music. This is a rare opportunity that will attract worldwide attention!"

Peng Donghu also nodded: "Yes, this opportunity is very rare. I wanted to suggest to Professor Wang before that we play some traditional Chinese instruments in class to promote our Chinese culture. However, this class is so important, I don't want to add pressure to Professor Wang, so I didn't say it."

"I didn't expect that Professor Wang would surprise us with his song Liang Zhu! Although it's a violin piece, the Chinese elements in it are almost visible to the naked eye. Now if he can successfully play a pipa piece, it will shock the world and let the whole world hear the unique music from China."

However, expect excitement at the same time.

Everyone is also quite worried.

Yang Jiansen said in a worried tone, "It depends on whether Professor Wang is well prepared. He has to play a pipa piece of his own, which is difficult. In the past hundred years, there are almost no pipa pieces that we can remember. The pipa pieces that the National Orchestra mainly plays now are all historical classics that have been passed down for hundreds of years. If he can play one of these classic pieces, it will definitely be recognized by the musicians on the scene."

"But it is very difficult for Professor Wang to perform his own pipa music and get recognition from so many world-class artists."

The people around fell silent, their faces full of worry.

This opportunity is certainly rare.

It was more eye-catching than the previous performances of the National Orchestra in Europe and the United States, and it definitely played a significant role in promoting Chinese folk music.

However, the difficulty is also unprecedented.

Because this is a composition with a given topic! Or a composition with a given topic that I haven’t prepared in advance.

Everyone believed that Nick had never communicated with Wang Qian before and was just here to cause trouble.

So, Wang Qian was attacked unexpectedly.

To compose a good pipa music on the spot was something no one would believe, so everyone was wondering whether Wang Qian had any stock in hand.

However, the music performed on such occasions must be absolutely excellent.

Because it is aimed at hundreds of millions of audiences around the world and almost all artists in the entire European and American classical music world.

If the music performed was not recognized by the many artists present, it would be a big blow to Chinese folk music.

But how difficult is it to compose a new and excellent pipa piece by yourself?

In the past hundred years, many outstanding traditional Chinese musicians have failed to create classic pipa music that can be passed down for a hundred years, which shows the absolute difficulty of this.

Jiang Yu whispered to his mother He Chaohui: "I believe Wang Qian can do it. Since he said so, he will definitely do it!"

Qin Xuerong also said: "I believe in Wang Qian too!"

Qin Xuehong and Murong Yue, as well as Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Xiao Dongmei and others also looked at Wang Qian with trust and expectation.

Wang Qian, who was on the podium, was placing his guitar on the table and gently adjusting the sound.

This is a brand new pipa.

Wang Qian had to adjust it carefully to make it suit himself.

All the music artists and music art lovers at the scene also looked at Wang Qian quietly and carefully.

Seeing Wang Qian debugging so seriously, everyone's expectations became higher.

Just like Wang Qian demonstrated his world-class ability in tuning the violin just now, now he seems to be tuning the pipa very skillfully and seriously. Doesn't this also prove from the side that Wang Qian knows this instrument very well?

Well, maybe there’s a surprise for them too?

This scene lasted for about five minutes.

However, no one showed any impatience and everyone watched very seriously.

Wang Qian then held the pipa in his arms and gently stroked it with his hands, producing a clear and pleasant sound like pearls falling on a plate. This made him very satisfied. With a smile on his face, he looked at everyone present and said softly, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. To be honest, I like this instrument very much. It is indeed a brand new pipa. I can adjust it as I like until I am satisfied."

"The Pipa is one of my favorite Chinese instruments. The music it plays is so beautiful."

"I'm about to start..."

Wang Qian once again said to everyone: "Are you ready?"

No one answered him.

There is only more silent silence.

Everyone was extremely quiet, looking at Wang Qian expectantly. Those eyes showed their attitude towards Wang Qian.

Wang Qian gently adjusted his breathing, sat on the chair, held the pipa in his arms, pressed the strings with his left hand, and gently raised the five fingers of his right hand under the gaze of everyone, and then suddenly pressed the five fingers on the pipa strings.

Play!

Officially started! Ding ding ding...

Ding ding ding...

Ding ding ding...

Ding ding ding...

Clear and increasingly rapid sounds of pipa music rang out.

Wang Qian's right hand played on the strings incredibly quickly, and the rhythm was getting faster and faster!

A feeling of tension and crisis instantly arose in everyone's heart, as if they were in a trap that could kill them at any time.

Then, gradually, a scene of a great battle between two armies appeared in front of many people.

Many of the people, who were already quiet, showed signs of nervousness on their faces.

Music that is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and in an orderly manner enters everyone's ears. It gradually becomes faster and faster, and there is a sense of instability in the music, as if anything that could endanger one's life could happen at any time.

The pictures gradually became clear in front of many people's eyes!

Teams of soldiers began to line up, with horses and spears, and war drums beating. The scene was grand and intense.

Then, it seemed that the army in the picture lined up neatly and began to quiet down, but the scene was still grand. Then the commander standing on top began to call out orders to everyone, solemnly and excitedly...

The music became grand and majestic again, perfectly matching the call of the generals before the battle, causing many people present to blush with excitement on their faces, as if they were stimulated by the scene.

but……

This is just the beginning.

Many music artists were quickly attracted by the music, and even forgot the sound of the music they heard. They just felt the clear pictures conveyed by the music, which made them forget everything around them and themselves, and immersed themselves in the clear pictures. Some people even put themselves into the music and became one of them, and the emotions on their faces changed more intensely.

Only a few top artists and some people with less emotional tendencies were not deeply moved.

Such as Dawson, Kalman, Max, Marlon, David, Murphy and other world-class music artists, and people like Nick who have ulterior motives.

However, Dawson, Kalman, Max, Malone, David, Murphy and other top music artists were all shocked. Their eyes were all on Wang Qian, who was sitting on a stool on the podium, holding a pipa, with his ten fingers dancing quickly, as if his ten fingers were dancing, but with his eyes closed and his face intoxicated.

this……

Is it the Chinese folk music?

Is this the Pipa?

This is the question in the minds of the few top artists who remain sober!

They have all listened to some Chinese folk music. After all, they are all world-class English artists, and they have a long life, so they have more or less studied the characteristic music of various countries in the world to enrich their own knowledge.

They have even listened to several public performances of the China National Orchestra in Europe and the United States.

but……

What they had learned and heard before did not seem to be as shocking and clear as Wang Qian's performance this time.

The repertoires that the China National Orchestra has performed several times before were all relatively grand and broad ensemble pieces. Although they also had strong Chinese characteristics, there were no solo pieces like this. They sounded equally shocking, but I didn't feel a specific and clear concept. It seemed that they were just to promote cultural characteristics!

Not like now...

They can clearly hear the pictures in Wang Qian's music and feel the musical beauty of the instrument itself.

this……

It is what David mentioned before, Wang Qian’s clear and ultimate musical expression ability.

The ultimate music is no music!

Let the people who listen to the music forget the music, but still remember clearly what the music expresses.

You can clearly see the pictures presented in the music!

this……

It is a performance level that surpasses the world's top masters, that is, it has surpassed their level and is not lower than Wang Qian's attainments in piano.

even!

Because this piece of music is more intense and full of emotions, in terms of atmosphere creation and emotional expression, it is more attractive and fascinating than the piano piece Wang Qian played just now. The picture presented is also clearer, making it easier for people to be involved in it.

This is simply...

Dawson, Kalman, Max, and Malone looked at each other and saw the immense shock and a hint of yearning in each other's eyes.

This is simply the musical realm that performers like them have been pursuing all their lives.

But today, in this class, they saw Wang Qian, a young man from China, achieve this level of musical expression by using almost three instruments at the same time.

An infinitely shocking and incredible emotion brewed in the hearts of several people.

They even had a kind of worship towards Wang Qian, who was immersed in himself and playing with his eyes closed on the podium.

In the history of music development that they knew about, there had never been such a person who could practice and master all three instruments to such an unprecedented level of performance.

At the same time, they also showed great interest in the unique Chinese national musical instrument in Wang Qian's hand and wanted to buy one to study it carefully.

Listening to the sound produced by this instrument, they knew that this kind of sound change had unique advantages for expressing some intense emotions.

Moreover, the strong Chinese cultural style in it makes them very interested and curious! Now, the field of classical music in the world has almost become a stagnant pool, and has basically not developed for decades. The market has no interest in classical music. Students graduating from several top classical music academies cannot find jobs every year, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a living by playing musical instruments.

So, can they introduce new elements into the field of classical music to attract market attention and stimulate market reactivity?

When something cannot continue to develop and progress, then the only option is to seek change!

Several of the world's top artists have a lot of thoughts in their minds.

Then, when several pairs of eyes looked at Wang Qian, they became even hotter again.

If we want to introduce Chinese cultural music elements into the European and American classical music market, we must have someone who understands Chinese culture to guide us...

So, is there anyone more suitable than Wang Qian? However, there is only one Wang Qian! And the major music schools definitely want to guide the development and changes in the field of classical music by themselves, so as to establish their own status and foundation in the field of classical music!

A moment.

Dawson and Kalman looked at Max, Marlon, and David and the others behind them with alert eyes, as if the other party were their enemies.

Then, several people looked at Wang Qian on the podium again, listening carefully to Wang Qian's performance while thinking about what to do next.

On the Chinese delegation's side, several teachers and professors were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.

Although the guests were all teachers and students from the piano and orchestra departments, their appreciation of folk music definitely surpassed that of most of the world's top artists at the scene. After all, they often came into contact with professors and students from the folk music department at school, and often listened to performances by national orchestras, while many of the European and American music artists at the scene had never heard of Chinese folk music.

So, when they heard Wang Qian's opening, they were all amazed, and all their worries disappeared instantly.

They know!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Done!

So people were so excited that they wanted to cry.

A heartfelt sense of national pride and pride was brewing in their hearts, and they were so excited that they were about to cry.

Then, they were quickly attracted by the artistic conception of the song.

Only a few people, including He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu, remained sober. They looked at Wang Qian on the podium, and then looked at the reactions of many European and American artists around them. The three of them smiled at each other, with an expression of great pride on their faces. They looked at Wang Qian with even more passion, and thought of more!

There is no doubt that Wang Qian's pipa playing is definitely at the top master level, or even stronger!

Such clear musical expression ability was something that the performances of several domestic pipa masters they had heard could not achieve.

Piano, violin, guzheng, pipa!

All four instruments have reached the level of world-class masters, and have reached a new level that surpasses predecessors.

This musical monster!

Almost one person can support a top music school.

If Wang Qian was brought into the Central Conservatory of Music, or the Magic Conservatory of Music, or the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music!

How much of an improvement will it bring to the college?

He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen and Peng Donghu all looked at each other and were equally wary.

Meanwhile, young music talents such as Sophie, Taylor, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Miyuki Nakamori, Mao Chiba, Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, etc., had closed their eyes, feeling the music played by Wang Qian with their hearts, and watching the pictures composed of the music with their hearts. Each of their pretty faces was filled with surprise and shock, as if they had seen incredible pictures.

Xiao Dongmei, who doesn't know much about music, also closed her eyes and listened carefully. Although she doesn't know much about music, she understands the artistic realm very well and can grasp the artistic conception very well, so she can also quickly feel the musical art picture!

Yu Jingruo and Li Qingyao saw that everyone around them closed their eyes to listen, so they looked at each other and closed their eyes as well to listen to Wang Qian's performance. However, they still opened their eyes from time to time with some reluctance to look at Wang Qian on the podium. Seeing his figure immersed in the music, they felt more satisfied.

Juliet, who had just received Wang Qian's promise, was also in shock at the moment. Feeling the clear picture conveyed by the music, she opened her mouth slightly. Her heart was shocked and full of surprise and expectation. She felt proud that she could study with such a musical genius. She made up her mind that she must study hard with Wang Qian in the future.

Christine and Green, who were sitting in the middle, were both focused on pop music, so they were not that interested in classical music.

However, the two were still attracted by this song played with Chinese folk instruments which was new to them, and were completely immersed in it, with both of their faces full of enjoyment.

Nick and the others who suggested that Wang Qian play the pipa remained absolutely sober at this moment. Even if they knew nothing about music, they could tell from the reactions of everyone around them that the pipa music played by Wang Qian was of absolutely high standard, and Wang Qian's pipa level might not be inferior to that of the piano and violin.

While they were shocked and incredulous, they were still trying to find a solution and did not want to give up their plan against Wang Qian.

Nick quickly took out his cell phone, climbed over the wall to enter the Chinese network, and searched for famous Chinese pipa music. He wanted to listen to the most famous Chinese pipa music and see if it was the same as the one played by Wang Qian.

With their hearing, they could tell that the piece of music played by Wang Qian was definitely not ordinary. The rich Chinese cultural elements in it were definitely not inferior to the famous Chinese pipa pieces.

Was this famous song really composed by Wang Qian himself? They were very skeptical! So, they seized this possible flaw and quickly went deeper to confirm their guess.

At this moment, audiences from Europe and the United States who were watching this show were also deeply attracted by Wang Qian's performance, and the Internet was once again filled with praises.

"I was stunned. This piece of music is so amazing. I really wanted to see the scene of two armies fighting each other. It's so beautiful."

"It's really beautiful. The first few notes made me nervous. I thought I was surrounded and killed again when I was playing the game. It made me feel like I was back in the game, feeling the tension of playing in a group battle."

"This piece of music is somewhat similar to the General's Order that Mr. Wang Qian played before, but it seems to be more beautiful and more exciting."

"I'm suddenly interested in Chinese folk music. It's so beautiful. Can anyone recommend some to me?"

"This kind of Chinese music is much better than those cookie-cutter classical music."

"Are there any Chinese musicians coming to North America to give concerts? I want to listen to a concert of this kind of music, it must be great!"

…

Many audiences were amazed by this song, and then developed a strong interest in Chinese folk music, and frantically searched for Chinese folk music on several major music platforms in Europe and the United States.

but……

Unfortunately, they didn't find it right away.

This is because several major platforms have not purchased the copyright of Chinese folk music, and this type of music had almost no market before.

Therefore, they will not spend money to purchase the copyright.

And now, it seems that everyone is suddenly interested, but can't find anywhere to download it.

Many people have gone over the wall to China to look for downloadable Chinese folk music.

but.

Everyone's main focus was still on Wang Qian's performance on TV.

Wang Qian's performance became more and more rapid, with more and more sounds, but it seemed orderly, creating a grand war scene for everyone.

Many of the audience seemed to see a grand scene of two armies fighting. The sounds of horse hooves, swords clashing, soldiers' shouts, etc. were intertwined together, and everyone's face was full of shock.

The few sober artists and other audiences looked even more shocked when they saw Wang Qian's almost crazy playing hands.

Even if they didn't understand the instrument Pipa, they could see that Wang Qian was demonstrating extremely complex and sophisticated Pipa playing skills, which was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

Max, Malone, Kalman, Dawson, David, Murphy and other world-class artists were more and more shocked. The more they listened to the song, the more shocked they were! Wang Qian's performance was so high and his ability to express music was so clear that the picture of the music was as clear as watching a movie.

Several of these top artists had been intoxicated for a while just now, and now seemed to have come to their senses only at the end.

It seems that one can see a close and chaotic sound of horse hooves fleeing in panic, and pursuers chasing closely behind. As both sides chase each other, the scene suddenly becomes tragic, and a tall figure commits suicide by the bank of a river blocking the road.

then……

Wang Qian suddenly drew a line across the string with his right hand, then quickly stopped his hand and pressed the pipa string tightly!

The music stops! It stops abruptly.

All the audience!

But it is still quiet.

Everyone was still immersed in the mood of the music.

Many people's faces were still full of tension, as if they were being chased by a large army, and they were somewhat panicked and frightened.

Even world-class music artists such as Max and Malone, David, Kalman, and Murphy were stunned by the sudden end of Wang Qian's music rhythm.

They didn't expect that Wang Qian's performance would end so suddenly.

It was like a wonderful movie suddenly ended at the climax, telling you that it was over! That feeling made them feel very uncomfortable.

But……

While feeling uncomfortable.

They suddenly felt very enjoyable.

Isn’t this unexpected musical impact a form of artistic expression?

Although He Chaohui, Peng Donghu, Yang Jiansen and others were all sober, they remained quiet. They looked at the European and American music artists around them with joy and pride. Seeing their intoxicated expressions, they were very happy and proud. They looked at Wang Qian on the podium with a hint of admiration and respect.

Being able to stand in such a world-class art venue, play such wonderful Chinese folk music, and spread Chinese folk music to the world!

Such people deserve their admiration and respect.

Wang Qian moved his hands, his fingers still hurting a little. He stood up, gently put down the pipa in his hands, put it back into its original box, and then faced everyone in the audience.

Looking at those familiar faces, who seemed to be still immersed in the musical mood and had not yet awakened, Wang Qian's eyes showed a hint of happiness and pride, but it disappeared quickly, and what was left was calmness.

It seemed that such operations were very common and not worthy of him being happy or proud about.

It's just a basic operation.

No need to worry! Wang Qian stood on the podium, looking at the thousands of people below.

Among the thousands of people in the audience, most of them were still immersed in the musical mood and had not yet come to their senses. The few who had come to their senses were still savoring the music. The more they savored it, the more amazed and shocked they were, so they all remained silent and no one spoke.

Such an eerie silence lasted for about five minutes before it was broken!

Dawson, Kalman and others saw that Wang Qian was tired of standing on the podium, so the two masters of the Curtis Institute of Music stood up and began to applaud.

Snap, snap, snap…

The two of them applauded very vigorously and enthusiastically.

Everyone in the audience was awakened and quickly joined in the applause, and everyone quickly stood up.

Even the great artists in the first row of the Curtis Institute stood up, so how could anyone else be qualified to sit? So, in less than a second, everyone in the audience stood up at once.

Thunderous applause broke out.

Everyone clapped vigorously, and everyone's face turned red with excitement.

Mars and Elton said to each other excitedly: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"

Christine stood up and clapped her hands. Her pretty face flushed with excitement. When she looked at Wang Qian, her eyes were filled with shock.

This was the first time she was so impressed by a musician! It was also the first time she admired a musician so much.

Before, she had never been conquered by any musician. She had always been confident that she was not inferior to any musician. Whether it was classical or pop music, she believed that her talent and strength were not inferior to anyone. Even though Wang Qian's previous performance was very good and broke her single-day download record, she only recognized Wang Qian in her heart.

Now, Christine was completely conquered by Wang Qian, in the field of music that she was most proud of and good at. However, she still had a little pride, because Wang Qian conquered her in piano, violin, and pipa, an instrument she didn't know. However, in her home field of pop music, she was still confident and proud! However, she admired Wang Qian's enchanting musical talent and strength.

Christine even had the urge to run up and give Wang Qian a hug.

Almost everyone on the Huaxia Music delegation used up all their energy from eating to applaud for Wang Qian and Huaxia National Music, and to let everyone know that they were here, and that they were the representatives of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music. They were here to represent Huaxia Music! All the staff on the scene also applauded excitedly.

Diana was also clapping her hands vigorously, and her eyes were filled with undisguised passion and admiration as she looked at Wang Qian. She no longer had any aversion to losing to Wang Qian, and she dared to agree to any request Wang Qian made!

Any request!

She agreed to all of them.

applause……

It lasted for about ten minutes.

Wang Qian let everyone applaud for so long without asking them to stop like he had done before.

Because he felt that Chinese folk music deserved longer and warmer applause.

His song also deserves this treatment.

but.

Ten minutes is enough.

Wang Qian stretched out his hand and made a pressing gesture towards everyone, indicating that it was enough.

The applause gradually stopped.

Dawson, Kalman, Max, Malone, Hoffman and others all sat down, and others also sat down one after another.

However, all pairs of eyes still looked at Wang Qian with burning passion, as if they were looking at the greatest treasure in the world.

It seemed that this treasure trove contained endless treasures, just waiting for them to dig! Wang Qian looked at everyone with a smile, and was about to send the pipa back to the middle-aged black man to take it.

However, many people who stopped clapping did not just act as a quiet audience!

But...

Raise your hand again...

Arms were raised one after another.

Crowded.

At least a thousand people raised their hands, and their eyes looked at Wang Qian eagerly, with some excitement in their eyes, wanting Wang Qian to choose them.

Wang Qian smiled bitterly in his heart.

really……

This class.

He had absolutely no control.
