Chapter 723: Among all kinds of musical instruments, suona is the king

The next day, the lights came on.

Countless musicians and music lovers gathered at the Lantern City Philharmonic Hall, because tonight, in this magnificent music hall, there will be several special competitions.

Mr. Wang Xuan from China will play the suona instrument against several world-renowned orchestras.

Just yesterday, Mr. Wang Xuan had already proved his musical talent. Whether it was the piano or the guzheng, Mr. Wang Xuan's musical talent was unparalleled in the world. Even the "Tianfu Music" ensemble of traditional Chinese instruments made the concert go crazy and conquered countless foreign fans.

Mr. Wang Xuan said that the suona instrument is the world's number one musical instrument. Although many people do not agree with this, they are still looking forward to this showdown.

The match will still be broadcast live on CTS Music Channel.

The showdown will begin at eight o'clock in the evening.

On one side of the stage is the well-known foreign orchestra Bandari. They have a brilliant halo and a respectable reputation on the international music stage. Each musician has undergone rigorous professional training, with superb skills and rich experience. The orchestra has a wide range of instruments, from elegant violins to deep cellos, from smart flutes to majestic French horns, and each instrument exudes the luster of top quality.

On the other side of the stage was Wang Xuan, who was standing there alone, holding a suona instrument. He looked somewhat pitiful, but his expression was very calm and his body stood straight, as if even the heavens could not break his spine.

"How do we compete?" the leader of the Bandari Orchestra asked Wang Xuan.

"Whatever you want, you can compete however you want." Wang Xuan said. Everyone could sense his confidence.

"The problem is that we don't know how to compare. You say suona is the king of musical instruments, so there must be a standard for judging, right?" said the leader of the Bandari Orchestra.

"How about this, we play music together and see who can cover whose voice?" Wang Xuan suggested.

"That's fine, but are you sure you can compete against our entire orchestra alone? How about selecting a few Chinese musicians to play suona together and compete with our orchestra?" The leader of Bandari was still very gentlemanly.

"No need! That would be too much of a bully for you. I can do it alone." Wang Xuan said.

The leader of Bandari was quite dissatisfied when he heard this. He really didn't believe that Wang Xuan could suppress their entire orchestra with just a suona.

"What song shall we play?" asked Bandari.

"Whatever! How about this, you pick the songs you are best at and I pick my songs. Anyway, it's just a competition of who can cover whose voice. How about it?" Wang Xuan suggested.

"can."

"Let's start, you go first." Wang Xuan said.

The leader of Bandari nodded and turned to the band members without hesitation, saying, "Everyone cheer up and let Mr. Wang Xuan see how powerful we are."

"understand!"

The leader of Bandari went straight to the podium, he was the conductor of the music. When he raised the baton in his hand gracefully, the well-known foreign orchestra played the first note.

Instantly, the whole venue seemed to be enveloped by an invisible magic. The sound of the violin strings was as smooth as silk, floating melodiously in the air, as if telling an ancient and romantic story; the sound of the cello was like a deep ocean, containing endless emotions and power; the crisp sound of the flute was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, penetrating the fog; the piano notes were as bright as stars, gorgeous and dazzling. The sounds of various instruments intertwined and merged with each other, weaving together a colorful and dreamy musical picture.

The audience was immersed in this wonderful melody, intoxicated, their hearts were soothed by the harmonious music, as if they were brought into a dream world far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

However, in this dreamlike musical atmosphere, a unique and loud voice suddenly sounded, like a flash of lightning that cut through the dark night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention. It was the sound of suona, a mysterious instrument from the ancient East, which showed its unique charm on this international stage.

At first, the sound of the suona seemed a little lonely and abrupt, forming a sharp contrast with the grand and harmonious ensemble of the orchestra. But as Wang Xuan devoted himself to the performance, the sound of the suona became more passionate and high-pitched.

Sometimes it is like a galloping army, majestic and shocking; sometimes it is like weeping, sad and lingering, as if telling a series of unforgettable joys and sorrows; sometimes it is like a cheerful stream, galloping and leaping, full of the vitality and joy of life.

As the suona sounded, the audience's originally relaxed bodies instantly tensed up. Those who were originally immersed in the beautiful melody of the orchestra were involuntarily attracted by this sudden and unique sound.

Too loud and too passionate.

When the suona sounded, the sound of the Bandari Orchestra could not be heard at all, and the combination of various well-known foreign musical instruments was completely suppressed.

The audience was shocked and opened their mouths unconsciously. Their eyes were full of shock. They had never heard such a powerful sound before. Some closed their eyes tightly and frowned. The sound seemed to be a key that opened the door to their long-forgotten memories deep in their hearts. Others could not help but nod their heads to the rhythm, their bodies trembling slightly, and were completely immersed in the emotional world created by the suona.

In the front row of the audience, Randall and Edward had their eyes closed, enjoying the orchestra's performance. But when the suona sounded, they suddenly opened their eyes, their eyes full of surprise and confusion. They sat up straight, their ears tightly capturing every note from the suona, trying to interpret this strange but charming sound.

A young lady was originally nestled in her partner's arms, enjoying a romantic music moment. When the sound of suona came, she broke away from her partner's arms, straightened her body, clenched her hands unconsciously, and her heartbeat accelerated with the rhythm of suona.

In the back row of the auditorium, a group of children were fidgeting in their seats, feeling a little bored by this seemingly elegant concert, but the sound of the suona instantly quieted them down, their eyes sparkling with excitement, as if they had discovered a whole new, magical world.

On the stage, the leader of the Bandari music scene was full of confidence, his face filled with the calmness of being in control of the overall situation. He waved his baton gracefully, guiding every note, every rhythm, and every emotional ups and downs of the orchestra. His eyes were firm and focused, and every movement was full of artistic charm and authority.

But as the sound of the suona gradually took over, his expression began to change subtly. He frowned slightly at first, as if he was a little dissatisfied and confused by this sudden "troublemaker".

Then, his eyes revealed disbelief and confusion, and the baton in his hand paused briefly. He tried to increase the intensity and guide the orchestra's sound to be more magnificent to suppress the impact of the suona, but it seemed that everything was in vain.

The musicians in the orchestra were originally focused on their own performances, immersed in the carefully arranged harmonious melody. Their eye contact and breathing rhythm were perfectly integrated with the music, showing a high degree of tacit understanding and professionalism. However, the powerful aura of the suona distracted them unconsciously. The violinist's bow began to become a little hesitant, and the notes were no longer as smooth as before; the cellist's rhythm was slightly flustered and lost its original calmness; the flutist's breath control deviated and the sound was no longer pure. Some musicians even made minor mistakes, and when they looked at each other, their eyes were full of panic and confusion.

The foreigners stared with eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief. They could not understand how such a simple and plain-looking traditional Chinese musical instrument could release such powerful energy and overwhelm their carefully crafted and highly praised orchestra on the battlefield of music. Their ears were occupied by the sound of suona, and their hearts were filled with shock and confusion. In this musical contest, time seemed to freeze. The sound of suona was like a torrent, surging and unstoppable. Although the performance of the famous foreign orchestra was still wonderful, it seemed a little eclipsed by the powerful impact of suona.

Finally, when the last note of the suona faded in the air, the entire venue fell into a brief silence. At that moment, it seemed as if the world had stopped turning, and everyone was still immersed in the soul-stirring music, unable to extricate themselves.

But just a moment later, thunderous applause and cheers broke out instantly. This applause was not only a praise for the excellent skills of the suona players, but also a deep respect and admiration for traditional Chinese music. The audience stood up one after another, their faces filled with excitement and excitement, expressing their inner shock and emotion in the most enthusiastic way.

Randall and Edward stood up and clapped excitedly, praising the performance non-stop: "This is a musical revolution, a miracle from the East!"

"Yes, it turns out that Mr. Wang Xuan was not lying. It turns out that the suona that Mr. Wang Xuan mentioned is really that great. It is not an exaggeration to call it the king of musical instruments."

"A suona can suppress the entire Bandari orchestra. Isn't this too awesome?"

"The sound of the suona is so unique that it completely touched my soul and made me feel a power I have never felt before."

"Great! Great!"

"How is it?" Wang Xuan looked at the leader of the Bandari Orchestra.

  "We lost, we lost. The Chinese suona is really amazing, the real king of instruments." The leader of Bandari said. He didn't want to admit defeat, but he was able to suppress their entire band with just a suona. What else could he do if he didn't want to admit defeat?

At this moment, a different voice emerged.

"No, I think the Bandari Orchestra did not lose. Even if they lost, it was because of their song selection. The songs selected by the Bandari Orchestra are not passionate enough. They are the kind of music that is suitable for listening quietly. However, the songs selected by Mr. Wang Xuan are passionate and make people's blood boil when listening to them. It is not fair to compare these two songs together." The speaker was the director of the Philharmonic Orchestra.

As soon as this was said, someone immediately refuted: "Come on. You said Mr. Wang Xuan had an advantage in choosing the music, but why don't you say that Mr. Wang Xuan played the suona alone against the entire Bandari orchestra and was taken advantage of."

The reason for this person's rebuttal was exactly the reason why the Bandari Orchestra gave up. The leader of Bandari also knew that they suffered a great loss in the selection of songs, but it was an undeniable fact that Wang Xuan's solo suppressed their entire orchestra.

In that case, what else is there to say.

The Chinese audience were delighted when they saw this.

"Oh, you're still not convinced?"

"If he doesn't accept it, then beat him until he accepts it."

"I believe Wang Xuan will beat them until they become autistic."

Chinese audiences have absolute confidence in Wang Xuan and in the suona as an instrument.

In fact, Wang Xuan doesn't even need to do anything. Any Chinese musician who is good at playing the suona is enough to use this instrument to make these foreign orchestras kneel down and sing "Conquer".

Back to the concert. As soon as the head of the Philharmonic Orchestra spoke, Wang Xuan looked at him and said, "You said I took advantage of the song selection. OK, then let's play the same song and see how it goes?"

In fact, Wang Xuan did have an advantage in choosing the song, because the song he just played was called "The Spectre", a very exciting song that would have made the whole audience excited in another time and space.

However, even if they were playing the same piece of music, Wang Xuan was absolutely sure that he could suppress these foreign orchestras. This was because the instrument in his hand was the suona. Among all kinds of musical instruments, the suona was the king. Did you really think this was a joke?

The head of the Philharmonic Orchestra hesitated. Although he sounded confident, he was actually a coward. The sound of the suona was too rascally. Could the Philharmonic Orchestra really suppress it? The head of the Philharmonic Orchestra had no confidence.

However, their Philharmonic Orchestra also signed up for this competition yesterday. They had to participate even if they didn't want to, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"Okay! How about we play the song you just sang?" said the director of the Philharmonic Orchestra.

"no problem."

"Wait, Mr. Wang Xuan, that piece of music was originally created by you, right? We may need some time to get familiar with it," said the conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra.

"That's no problem. The song is indeed my original creation. Is one night enough for you to familiarize yourself with it? How about we use this song to compete tomorrow morning?" Wang Xuan asked.

"no problem."

There was no second match that night.

  At 10 am the next day, the showdown between Wang Xuan and the Philharmonic Orchestra finally began.

What other ending could there be?

Even when playing the same piece of music, the result is the same. The Philharmonic Orchestra plays the symphony "The Spectre" with all its instruments. The beginning is full of gay love, but when the sound of the suona starts, the sounds of the various foreign instruments can no longer be heard.

It’s not that I can’t hear it, but I can’t hear it clearly at all.

On the entire stage, only the sound of suona can be clearly heard.

Lost!

The Philharmonic Orchestra also lost. They lost to the same song and the same suona. They could find a reason yesterday, but this time there was no reason at all. There were originally two other orchestras that wanted to compete with Wang Xuan, but after the successive defeats of the Bandari Orchestra and the Philharmonic Orchestra, those orchestras simply gave in.

Wang Xuan proved to the world that suona is the true king of musical instruments. Countless foreigners saw suona for the first time and realized its charm. Suona officially entered the international music stage.

After the duel, the Chinese musicians' trip to the city of lights officially ended. After a night of rest, they headed to Berlin, where they planned to rehearse for a while before attending the Berlin concert.
