From yearning to entertainment master

Chapter 81 "New Horse Racing"

"Lu, the erhu is so powerful, why haven't I heard of it before?" Paganini turned around and asked in surprise.

"Mr. Paganini, I don't know much about the erhu either. You have seen Mr. Su before. You should know about Mr. Su's stubbornness. Mr. Su basically doesn't play the erhu in public anymore. He can pull Liang Zhu here. I haven't seen this level before, Ye Mingxuan is the first one." Lu Siqing explained.

"The emotional appeal of this musical instrument is too strong, even stronger than the piano, which is known as the king of musical instruments." Paganini said with emotion.

"You are right. Our traditional musical instruments all pay attention to an artistic conception, and their emotions are more reserved. The timbre is light and melodious. But the erhu is a common folk instrument in our country. It is generally used to play sad music. The timbre of the erhu itself is sadness. Yes." Lu Siqing nodded and said in agreement.

"That shouldn't be it? The Starsky song in today's opening performance is very atmospheric."

"Sir, Starsky is indeed majestic, but if you think about it carefully, does it feel desolate when the erhu plays? Starsky didn't have it before. It's actually the first time I've seen the erhu play such majestic music." Lu Siqing patiently explained.

Paganini nodded. "Lu, I want to learn more about Erhu, can you introduce it for me?"

Lu Siqing couldn't refuse Paganini's request, so he nodded.

"Lu, both the erhu and the violin are stringed instruments, so it shouldn't be difficult to learn, right?" Paganini suddenly turned around and asked.

Lu Siqing was baffled by the violin master's question, but he patiently explained: "Then you are wrong. Erhu is easy to learn but hard to master. Getting started is easy, but it is too difficult to become a master."

"How long will it take to reach the level of this Mr. Ye?" Thinking of the erhu, Mr. Paganini couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but want to learn about this ancient stringed instrument.

"Mr. Paganini, we have another old saying to describe the erhu, the erhu can break your waist." Lu Siqing looked at Ye Mingxuan's young face and said with emotion.

"Break your waist with an erhu? What do you mean?"

"It means that it takes a lifetime to become proficient in this musical instrument." Compared with Ye Mingxuan's age, this kind of thing makes him, who has been immersed in music for half his life, unbelievable.

"Where's Ye? He's obviously still very young." Paganini looked at Lu Siqing with the expression that I don't read much and you don't lie to me.

Lu Siqing said helplessly: "Mr. Paganini, maybe Ye Mingxuan is the kind of musical genius who is rare in a hundred years!"

Lu Siqing just didn't know how to answer, so he casually picked up such a reason, but unexpectedly Paganini nodded very seriously.

Forget it, you are a master in the music industry, you can think whatever you want, Lu Siqing looked at Paganini and nodded, thinking in his heart.

Paganini stood up and interrupted the stalemate on stage: "Mr. Xiaoye, can you play another cheerful piece? I really like this instrument." Ye Mingxuan bowed slightly.

Ye Mingxuan didn't dare to accept it, so he hurried over to help Paganini up: "Since the old man is willing to listen to the erhu, then I'll play one."

Ye Mingxuan looked at the few people on the stage. Everyone on the stage expressed no objection. When Mr. Paganini spoke, they had no reason to refuse.

No one objected, and Ye Mingxuan was not hypocritical.

"Horse racing, erhu solo, Ye Mingxuan."

The skill of horse racing is far beyond Liang Zhu's comparison. Mr. Paganini, who saw all kinds of techniques, said it was unbelievable. The bow blowing technique was blazing and emotional, like a volcanic eruption, showing the fierce scene of the racetrack.

When drawing the bow with the right hand and pressing the strings with the left hand, the vibrato is still played. The skills are gorgeous and the audience is dazzled.

The audience was stunned at the final plucking of the strings. A stringed instrument was played with the feeling of a plucked stringed instrument. The imitated sound of horseshoes was vivid, as if it was really in a racetrack.

After the horse racing performance, the atmosphere at the scene was much more enthusiastic than the Liang Zhu just now. Liang Zhu can make people's emotional side burst out, but this kind of emotion is reserved, unlike horse racing, which makes people burst into positive emotions, hot and surging.

While the crowd was still cheering, Paganini had already walked onto the stage, looked at Ye Mingxuan passionately and said, "Dear Ye, can you give me your instrument as a gift? I am willing to exchange mine for it."

As soon as Paganini's words fell, the scene was shocked and silent. You must know that Paganini's violin was offered for 2000 million US dollars, but he didn't make a move. Now he even exchanged one of the most expensive violins in the world for an erhu ?It's just unbelievable.

Lu Siqing was so shocked that he knew that Paganini's violin came from the Guarari family, a family of violin makers. His violin alone is worth as much as 300 million US dollars, and the value of Paganini's violin is even more immeasurable. , quickly walked forward.

Explaining to Ye Mingxuan: "Ye Mingxuan, Mr. Paganini's violin was once offered for 2000 million."

Ye Mingxuan was also taken aback by the price, more than 2 US dollars, he couldn't even think about it.

Knowing the value of Paganini's violin, Ye Mingxuan is even more unlikely to accept it: "Mr. Paganini, giving me your violin is a secret investment, and I don't know how to play the violin. But this erhu is just a Ordinary erhu, of course there is no problem in giving it to you."

Ye Mingxuan handed the erhu to Paganini, and Paganini took it with both hands with a solemn expression: "Dear Ye, this is not an ordinary erhu, I think its value in the future will surpass my violin, yours Achievements will surely surpass me." Paganini said very seriously.

Ye Mingxuan smiled awkwardly. He really didn't dare to answer Paganini's words. Who is Paganini?After Xiao Lang and Lu Siqing's explanation, he already understood that the only remaining music master, giant, and dean-level figure, this one can be compared with Beethoven, Mozart, etc., surpass him?
The reason why this music master likes him so much is because of his love and dedication to music, and he treats music as sincerely as a child's heart, so he can so simply say the request to exchange the violin and the erhu.

Paganini suddenly thought of something, and said to Ye Mingxuan: "Oh! By the way, I remembered that my violin has been collected by the museum. I'm sorry I can't give it to you, but I can give you another violin." The violin made by Tradivari, I seldom use it, it is also a good violin, but I still use my violin 'Cannon'. But dear Ye, I need you to sign this Erhu Name, okay?"

Ye Mingxuan signed his name on the erhu as he said, and Paganini looked at the erhu happily, as if looking at a rare treasure.Ye Mingxuan looked extremely embarrassed. This erhu was found for him by the Music Association. It is valuable, but it is definitely not a world famous piano.

According to Lu Siqing, whether it is a Guarneri violin or a Stradivari violin, as long as it is well preserved and can be played well, there is no less than a million dollars.What's more, these two kinds of violins are guqins with a history of more than 300 years.
