This star is a bit cold

Chapter 177 Dedicate this trivial victory to you

"Take all the good parts and get rid of all the bad parts."

These are the original words of the great man whose achievements can be called rebuilding China in the modern history of China.

Some words are exquisite or not, which is not so important to characters at that level. The key is to convey the meaning in place.

And the source of this sentence is mainly aimed at what we should do in the face of Western civilization.

Absorbing the good parts of their civilization and discarding the bad things in their civilization is more or less what it means.

Of course, this sentence is also widely quoted to other levels.

For example, in the process of re-dividing the world, Huaxia did not make its own territory too bloated. Instead, it simplified itself a lot through various means, and what was left was enough to make the modern world The foundation of China's glory so far.

Of course, all of these have nothing to do with Zhong Lin as an ordinary student. These are just one of the few historical knowledge he has.

But strictly speaking, he is actually a practitioner of this sentence. After all, things like pianos are naturally passed down from the West.

And although he doesn't think much of some parts of the gringo civilization, as a student of the piano department of a well-known university in the country, Zhong Lin really likes the piano as an instrument.

Although many gringos seem to use exaggerated words, Zhong Lin still agrees that they call the piano the "king of musical instruments".

Professionally speaking, the piano has the widest range of musical instruments at all times and in all over the world, and the range of volume changes is huge. It is also the most ideal multi-part musical instrument.

It can not only act as a soloist, but also can be widely used in various accompaniments. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a panacea for musical instruments.

Regarding the matter of appreciating piano music, Zhong Lin believes that there is still a threshold. This is not because he is pretending, but because there are some things. wonderful.

In other words, there is no threshold for art appreciation, but there are depths.

In short, it is also listening to the performance of a world-class piano master. People who have not studied it carefully will think that the playing is so cool, fast, gentle and nice. Those who have learned relevant knowledge not only have Hearing enjoyment at the elementary level, you will also know why he plays well, what is good about him, his timbre, strength, level, control, coordination of harmony and melody, uniqueness of musical expression, etc.
The more you feel something, the more it will shake and resonate.

This kind of deep appreciation of art is indeed not easy to come by.

So strictly speaking, the piano can be regarded as a relatively small circle, and there are many people in this circle who fish in troubled waters.

In addition, no matter what they like, people always hope to have like-minded people. For Zhong Lin, it is easy to find like-minded people in the piano department. It can even be said that most of the people in his class can say It's the same.

Being able to step into the deep pit of piano, which is not easy to get results, if you don't really like it, you will choose this major if you have a pit in your head.

For the Shenzhou Conservatory of Music, today can be regarded as a big day.

After all, the pianist from their department went to compete internationally not long ago. If you count the time, the results and the video of the competition should be announced.

As for this big boss's expedition, although she may not care too much about it, in fact, it can really be said that it is the expectation of the piano circle.

It is worth mentioning here that although the gringos in Europe are far behind China in many fields, in the private land of the piano, this group of gringos who are humble on the surface but still a little bit unwilling in their hearts still insist on their principles. Arrogant, self-proclaimed why the holy place of the piano.

Regarding this point, from a historical point of view, there is really nothing to say. After all, China's pianos have only just started in modern times, and the number of masters born is limited, while Europe has a history of hundreds of years. The great master is still shining brightly in the hall of steel bars.

However, if you have achievements, you have achievements, so what are you pretending to be?And what is your status, what is my status, are you pretending for me here?
At that time, because a certain gringo said, "It is impossible for Chinese people to appreciate the beauty of the art of piano, and they will never surpass us."

Under the protests of the people, Huaxia almost didn't send its own fleet there.

Don't want to play?Then stop playing!The place is ruined by you!
What grade, playing the same piano as us?
Although the matter was finally settled in the apology of the other country, in fact, this kind of thinking is still deeply rooted in the minds of some stubborn gringos.

And the situation in Huaxia is indeed average. Many famous people have been born, but they may not be able to reach the highest level.

Sometimes, the existence of great masters and masters really needs the accumulation of time and the turbulence of the times to be conceived. With all the calculations, it has only been 100 years since China officially introduced the piano.

Therefore, in many international piano competitions, the performance of Huaxia, who is the stronger of the two levels in the world, can indeed only be called mediocre.

However, this situation has improved because of the appearance of that genius.

Leaving aside some outstanding achievements in the early stage, this 15-year-old won the Stirling International Piano Competition, which is the only one in the past 50 years.

To a certain extent, in the eyes of some people, it is not an exaggeration to say that this talented girl is the face of the younger generation in the Chinese piano industry.

And such a person, after five years, competes in the Stirling International Piano Competition again, what kind of performance will he bring?

Is there any greater progress than before?

Although many people are concerned about these issues, this genius seems to be a very pure pianist. He has almost never received commercial activities, and most of the few appearances are solo, which seems to be testing Whether your piano skills have improved.

Moreover, this genius seems to be quite protective of his privacy, he rarely shows up in front of the media, and when he participates in various competitions, he often doesn't see the beginning and the end, and basically slips away quietly after participating.

Leaving these things aside, for Zhong Lin and the others from the Piano Department of the Shenzhou Conservatory of Music, the other party is undoubtedly their goddess!

And how could they miss the opportunity to appreciate the goddess and her performance? !
So just after class today, Zhong Lin began to refresh the official website related to the competition with a look of anticipation.

Got it!

Zhong Lin, who saw the new video uploaded on the official website, cheered a little, and clicked in impatiently.

All in all, this kind of competition is still a bit boring in the eyes of ordinary people. For more people, they tend to look forward to who will win the championship.

Speaking of which, if Zhong Lin remembers correctly, this boss seems to be planning to bring an artist's original song to the competition, right?

The previous statement caused quite a stir in the circle.

After all, anyone who is really familiar with the art of piano knows that composing and performing are often completely different things.

Over time music, especially classical music, has developed into a complex and sophisticated discipline.Whether as a performer or a creator, it is almost impossible to do both.Regardless of practice or theory, there is too much to learn and research.

In today's world, many famous piano masters are performing the existing works of the predecessors. On the one hand, there are many voices in the piano circle who believe that classical music is classic enough. , it is perfect to restore the composer's original emotion and state at that time as much as possible.

On the other hand, performers often do not explain the existing classic works according to the scriptures, but add their own personal understanding to a certain extent, which is why even a piece of music is constantly repeated by different performers. Play, but people will still look forward to its next appearance.It is precisely because each performer has different life experiences, thinking dimensions, and presentation methods, so the feelings they bring to the audience are often different.

In short, having said so much, in fact, simply speaking, performers are as important as composers, but sometimes it has to be said that it is more difficult to become a top composer, especially those top pieces.

This is why the piano department and the composition department are two completely different majors.

Although many famous masters in history are all-rounders, in contemporary times, there are really few such masters.

Therefore, Zhong Lin sneered at the fact that he wanted to take a piece composed by an unknown layman to participate in one of the most important competitions in the piano world today, and even said that he wondered if his goddess was being deceived by a layman up.

However, this matter was just mentioned at the time, and there was no news for a long time after that, which made many people think that although the girl did not know why she said such words, it is still estimated that It is to interpret the works of those masters, not to bring the works of an unknown layman to the world-class stage.

After all, what was everyone playing on that stage?
"Le Saint" Loren's classic handed down works - Piano Concerto No. 17, "Child Prodigy" Camillo Kanilenka's Divertimento No.[-] in D Major, "Father of Western Music" Vilia Shore's Prelude in C major.
Each of these names is a bright star that shines in the entire history of music. A layman's song is trying to wrestle with these masters. Are you kidding me?
Regarding the author of this song, Zhong Lin also knows that the old senior of their school is also the original author of "Blue and White Porcelain", which has become popular all over the Internet recently. Although Zhong Lin himself quite likes the song "Blue and White Porcelain", pop music and To some extent, classical music can be said to be two concepts, so it is better for laymen not to participate in piano competitions as much as possible.

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Zhong Lin, who was relieved, began to seriously appreciate the performances of these outstanding young pianists from all over the world in the finals.

Zhong Lin's performance level is not bad, but to be on such a stage, both talent and sweat are indispensable. Once upon a time, Zhong Lin also thought that he was a genius of some size, but in fact, the difference between ordinary people and real geniuses is the same. The gap between them is so wide that it can make people feel hopeless.

coming!

After watching for a long time, finally, seeing a familiar figure, Zhong Lin was refreshed.

Frankly speaking, in that field, there are only a small number of people who are both talented and beautiful, and once such a person appears, they will undoubtedly be praised by people in this circle soon, and it is even said that it is not difficult to cross the circle.

And the girl on the stage has indeed become the first impression many people have of the piano as an instrument to some extent.

The purity and coldness like ice crystals, the inadvertent calmness and concentration, and the words and deeds of the word elegance seem to be explained in every move.

The girl in the delicate light blue dress walked to the center of the stage, her cold face was as serious as ever, but after she spoke sternly, not only the judges in the audience, but even the judges sitting in front of the computer Zhong Lin was stunned.

"I will bring an original piece of music "Moonlight Sonata", in my heart, it is a work that is not inferior to the classic work of Le Saint Laurent. And I will also use a small victory to dedicate to its original author."

What nonsense is this person talking about?
At this moment, not to mention the judges in the audience, even Zhong Lin felt that this sentence was so absurd, comparable to Loren's works?
And the original author is someone I know, what are you kidding? !

In fact, not only Zhong Lin thought this way, even at the competition site, there was an unstoppable commotion off the stage, even those master judges who were sitting there and well-known in the piano world couldn't sit still, and frowned At the same time, he couldn't help but whispered to the judges next to him.

Crazy? !

Probably more than one person feels this way.

On such an important occasion, openly challenge the giant standing at the top of the music history hall?
Although the scene seemed to be a little commotion, the girl who said these words bowed quite calmly, and then sat directly in front of the piano in the center of the stage. It was unprecedentedly solemn, as if he put all his respect and yearning for the art of piano on the piece he was about to play.

890 times, this is the number of times Xu Xiqing practiced this piece.

The process was not exciting, or rather boring, and every moment of tossing and turning during the night was all condensed on her fingertips at this time.

Probably it was the girl's calm demeanor that comforted everyone present. Finally, the commotion subsided slowly, and when the stage returned to its proper silence, the girl's fingertips moved.

The music starts with a weak and even triplet, slowly becoming a triad
These professional knowledge flashed through his mind quickly, but before Zhong Lin could analyze anything from it, he felt that his whole body had been completely enveloped by the notes full of mourning, until he walked into a place he had never imagined. music world.

The first movement is extremely delicate, the decomposition of triplets conveys the silence of meditation, and all heartfelt words are narrated by the heartbeat-like melody, with both grief and implicit passion, and then to the second movement and finally the third movement
The further he got to the back, Zhong Lin became more and more aware of his shallowness. The depth of emotion and ingenious composition of this piece of music were impossible to analyze based on his level alone. The last time he felt so powerless , or a classic from Camillo.
In the silence of the audience, only the girl's white fingers and flying fingertips danced like flowing water. Each light note created an unprecedented hazy dream. Still silent, endless silence.

At this moment, maybe it’s not just the girl’s performance, but another music sage from another world, at the top of the star-gathered music sanctuary, facing the dead masters of this world Look, this is the collision of giants and giants, and it is also the most brilliant flight of notes.

After a long silence, the applause of the first person rang out, and almost instantly, the audience applauded thunderously!
And the judges in the audience have also stood up directly from their seats. Such a master with international reputation seems to be a little fanatical at this moment.

After the applause subsided, the judges couldn't wait to ask various questions.

After the performance, the girl with fine beads of sweat on her forehead calmly answered various questions, such as professional questions such as the key change and chords of this piece.

Due to the lack of time, the girl only answered some questions briefly, and when she was about to step down, she still added this sentence:
"Hope I didn't disappoint you."
