Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 600 299. When the applause sounds

The applause started and no one would let it stop.
-
"Bravo!!"

Italians never shy away from their enthusiasm for wonderful performances.

The whistling bass finally no longer had to suppress his inner excitement and took the lead in making the strongest cheers.

"Bravo!!"

On the other side, our teacher Fang Zheng is naturally not far behind.

Even if some viewers don't understand the specific meaning of "Bravo", this does not prevent them from feeling its extraordinaryness.

After another "Bravo", a Chengdu audience stood up directly.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, one after another, the audience stood up like a relay.

Hubbard said: The applause started and no one would let him stop.

Lao Tang stood up and waved his hat, his excitement was beyond words.

Song Kang's body emotions were not as exposed as Lao Tang's, but his applause was no less than that of Lao Tang.

Fu Tianming didn't care who was sitting next to him at this moment, so he pulled Wen Xiao and stood up.

At the same moment, another person was also pulled up.

Lao Wei was supported by Jia Mingyu and grinned, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, let go, I'm not old yet."

Jia Mingyu laughed loudly and came closer: "Are you happy?"

Old Wei looked around and saw audience members standing up and cheering one after another. He said to himself that he had been doing music in Chengdu all his life and had never seen any concert that could achieve such an atmosphere. He turned his eyes back to the stage with joy: " happy happy."

If Ang Lee could overlook the entire auditorium at this moment, he would definitely be surprised.

Among the five little ones, the first one to stand up was not Wang Xiaohu or Liu Fengrui.

But Xiaobei.

Xiaobei suddenly stood up, followed by Wang Xiaohu and Che Lin.

Then came Marco, Liu Fengrui, and Senior Sister Ji Yang. Liu Fengrui stood up too hard and failed to stand firmly. His body swayed and his left foot firmly stepped on Marco's right foot.

"what!"

The pony's pitiful scream was drowned out by the applause from behind.

"sorry."

Liu Fengrui immediately covered his mouth and apologized to Xiao Ma.

Xiaoma couldn't hear clearly, "What?"

Liu Fengrui still covered his mouth: "I'm sorry!"

Xiao Ma heard it clearly, then reached out and pulled down Liu Fengrui's hand covering his mouth, leaned closer and said in a louder voice: "What did you say?"

Liu Fengrui hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and said loudly: "I said I'm sorry, Marco!"

Pony leaned in louder and responded with a loud laugh: "It's okay!"

The smell of garlic still filled the air, but this time the two little boys laughed.

The hands of the little children were red. How could the older children show weakness?

In fact, Yang Shuangyu stood up two seconds earlier than Xiaobei. Under Yang Shuangyu's lead, Li Zheng, Zhao Weida, Min Zhen and the crane tail duo also stood up one after another.

It could be seen that the older children were also very excited.

Perhaps due to habit, Qin Yong’s habit of enjoying music while studying in Germany prevented him from standing up like most of the people present.

But this does not prevent him from being happy for everyone on the stage and being a member of the Chengdu classical music circle.

In his opinion, the scene before him has profound significance for the development of classical music in Chengdu, and this concert should definitely enter the history of the Summer Music Festival in Chengdu.

His real name was Fang Yongbo and he liked it. For Fang Yongbo, he felt more respect in his heart.

Of course, there is also the guy in front of the piano, who can play the three movements of K414 to create three flowers, and can also combine the three flowers into one painting. Finally, he can perform a play for the audience based on the character of the third movement. A cat and mouse show that is funny but still musically authentic.

He really took it.

This service is both convincing and admiring, for both of them.

Different from Song Kang's perspective, Qin Yong understands Li An and Fang Yongbo better.

When it comes to handling music, Ang Lee is bold and careful.

Although Ang Lee usually gives people a conservative feeling whether he is practicing piano or communicating with others about music, in fact, those conservatives are just Ang Lee's starting point. Ang Lee's in-depth exploration of music is never limited to general talk.

Starting from the most ordinary perspective, Ang Lee can always carefully explore a rugged path. As long as Ang Lee can find a logical closed loop in the music, Ang Lee will really dare to play on the stage.

Evidence of this can be found in the Xinhai Cup and the Red Mansion Concert.

Fang Yongbo's treatment of music is loyal to tradition.

Since Fang Yongbo returned to China and settled in Shenzhen to lead the delegation, Qin Yong began to pay attention to this fellow conductor.

Fang Yongbo is usually gentle with others and has no commanding air, but it is said that when the rehearsal really starts, no one is not afraid.

During rehearsals, Fang Yongbo would ask all members to undergo a technical segment assessment three days later because the length of a wind musician's vocalizations could not be resolved within ten seconds.

Fang Yongbo could not accept any of his musicians showing up in the rehearsal hall with the slightest problem.

This can be seen from Fang Yongbo's musical works over the years, which are exquisite and delicate. Under his leadership, the entire orchestra is like a perfectly operating machine.

Especially in German-Austrian works such as Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, etc., Fang Yongbo remains loyal to the original work and maintains a high degree of unity in technique.

Just like tonight's Jupiter, if it were performed at the Xinghai Concert Hall, the effect would probably be the best Jupiter live performance he had ever heard in China.

The careful change of intensity, the heart-stirring transition, until the passion bursts out, vividly express the texture of Mozart's music, making people move to tears.

So how could such a conductor propose to reduce the tempo of the second movement to below 60?

At this point, Qin Yong can be sure that this is 100% Li An's idea.

He really admired the two of them.

What he admired about Ang Lee was not how Ang Lee persuaded Fang Yongbo to play Dare together, but Ang Lee's conception of the second movement.

What he admired was not Fang Yongbo's ability to mobilize the orchestra to help Ang Lee enhance the artistic conception of the second movement. What he admired was Fang Yongbo's determination to "find a new path."

Today, there are very few large-scale music festivals in China that feature exclusive performances of Mozart's works. It's not that Mozart's melodies are not moving or user-friendly enough.

On the contrary, Mozart should be one of the only names of Western classical musicians that most people in the country can casually name.

Although the melody of the nursery rhyme "Little Star" was not written by Mozart, it was adapted and carried forward by Mozart.

After the 80s, who went to school wouldn't sing the line "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle?"

Music festivals need audiences, especially classical music festivals that require a certain threshold.

Compared with names like Wagner, Mahler and Bruckner, Mozart is obviously more approachable and easier to accept.

So why are people who have the ability to organize large-scale music festivals in recent years still unwilling to focus on Mozart’s pure musical works, just like Mozart has become a representative of opera classes.

If it were not for some international activities involving state relations, such as the Friends of Mozart event jointly promoted by the Public Relations Association and the Austrian Embassy in China in a certain year, as well as some competitions that cleverly created names in the name of Mozart, in recent years, domestic It is rare to see a large-scale dedicated music event with Mozart as the title.

There are many reasons involved here, but one of them must be mentioned is the audience classification of domestic classical music and the orientation of the media.I don’t know since when, there has been a chain of contempt among the niche group that listens to classical music.

One thing left a very deep impression on Qin Yong. The year before last, he accompanied a friend to an offline classical music salon.

We are all group friends, and he is also in the group. We usually communicate with each other online about classical music, chat about which performer has released a new album, compare versions, and gossip about domestic and foreign circles.

On the Internet, everyone talks eloquently and gives various pointers, but in person they all seem a little reserved and their words are much restrained.

The deputy group leader is a girl, she is really pretty, and she is usually very active in the group. She has certain insights into classical music but not much. She is highly praised by many male group friends, but Qin Yong has no interest anyway.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not too lively that day, the girl took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere and said that she had been listening to Schoenberg recently and was fascinated.

Qin Yong didn't think it was anything at first, even though this girl kept saying how much she liked Chopin in the group all day long, and the recommended music were all "melody works" in the history of classical music.

To be exaggerated, if the dog hears the works recommended by the girl, he will start to shake them.

As a result, when we met, we jumped directly to Schoenberg.

The span of acceptance is so huge, it’s like jumping directly from elementary school to high school, no exaggeration.

Okay, just listen if you like.

Then a group of male friends started, following the footsteps of the girls, and the names of composers from the mid-[-]th century were popping up one by one, and the titles of the music were vividly described.

Qin Yong is not doubtful, he is serious. He has studied music and listened to classical music for more than 30 years. He started learning music notation and finally wrote a paper on the characteristics of music in the entire twentieth century.

From expressionist nationalism to third-wave collage music, he considers himself to be extremely patient and able to analyze the characteristics and formation of music in this period to a certain degree of professionalism.

In other words, even if he finds it difficult to swallow, he still knows how to listen to it.

He is a conductor!This is the professional quality he has accumulated over more than 30 years!
He can only say that this group of friends is really awesome.

Okay, let me tell you, at least there are people besides the people in the musicology and composition departments who are helping me write my graduation thesis, who are willing to talk about this.

He thought it was pretty good. Of course, he also knew that no one could talk more than a few words on this topic. Why? He didn't even know what he was talking about. How could he continue talking today?

As he expected, the topic soon returned to around 1800.

That's right.

Qin Yong is not harsh, he just thinks that everyone comes together because they like to listen to classical music, which is also a kind of fate, so there is no need to make it like an academic discussion, right?

You can do whatever you want, but can’t you just start from the basics?

But he still underestimated the attitude of this group of people towards listening to classical music.

In the middle, everyone talked about their favorite composers. Most of them liked Chopin, but some also talked about Bach, Mahler, Shostakovich, and Rachmaninoff. The atmosphere was very good, as if Everyone admires each other's taste.

It was Qin Yong's turn. Qin Yong talked about Schubert. When he opened his mouth, he immediately noticed the strange looks from some people. The looks seemed to be talking about this uncle's taste, hahaha.

It doesn't matter, Qin Yong came here with his friends anyway, no one knows his identity, and there is no next time for him.

Finally, it was the turn of a little boy who usually didn't talk much in the group. Looking at his appearance in his early twenties, he said that Mozart was his favorite.

Qin Yong never expected that this answer would make the boy the center of attention and cause "crowd ridicule".

Just like it's embarrassing to hear that Mozart likes Mozart.

Everyone seems to want to comment on this to show their unique style.

Qin Yong felt a little sad at the time. The academic qualifications of these young people were not low.

Thoughts are so narrow.

He didn't believe that someone who liked Chopin wouldn't like Mozart.

Don't they know that Chopin's idol is Mozart?
Don’t they know that Tchaikovsky called Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 a miracle?
Even if you can't love the house and the bird, even if your taste will evolve with age.

But after learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, should we ignore the existence of 123?

Finally, whether it is Muza or Mozart, is his music really not beautiful enough?
Shouldn't.

In this era of the richest material and the poorest spirit, self-promotion has become as indispensable as food.

As the public language of the world, music cannot stand alone. It can be linked to all topics and exist independently as a unique symbol of taste, and even sublimate.

Because the end of language is doremi.

At this point, the contribution of the media will be revealed.

Because Mozart's story is that of a prodigy, a genius, and Mozart's temperament is funny, even in some people's mouth, it is Prudhon.

The former comes from textbooks, where do the latter two come from?
Qin Yong was one of the first people in China to receive formal classical music education. It was so simple back then, a minuet was a minuet, an etude was an etude, Beethoven was Beethoven, and Chopin was Chopin.

Qin Yong knew that he and Lao Chai had the same tendency since high school.

With the rapid development of the economy, classical music has spread into thousands of households at a high speed.

I don’t understand it, but it’s trendy.

I can’t understand the music, but I can always understand the story.

So gradually, the stories of these musicians became more interesting than their music itself.

People all over the world love to listen to stories.

But everyone seems to only like the stories they like, and they like stories that are not around them.

There is no shortage of prodigies and geniuses around us, and we even exclude prodigies and geniuses. We all love to be funny, but there is no shortage of funny people around us.

What we lack is the clouds and rain far away in the sky.

What are the elements of Chopin's story?
It's beauty, it's sadness, it's uniqueness, it's sadness, it's a life of escape, it's a life of not being able to love.

What are the elements of Liszt's story?
He is the king of piano, he is born to descend to the earth, he is the one who fascinates all living beings, he is the 21 disciples in his later years, and he is the master of the piano playing technique of later generations.

In contrast, in addition to developing intelligence, Mozart has other selling points worth exploring.

So when some people listen to Chopin, they become a petty bourgeoisie, and when they listen to Liszt, they become a maniac who listens to show off his skills.

Listen to Mozart?What to listen to?Listen to the story of a child prodigy?

Someone wants to ask Qin Yong, can’t he listen to music without a story?
Qin Yongde said of course, you are welcome to listen whether you understand or not, you don’t even need to consider whether you understand or not, just listen to whatever you think sounds good.

Some people obviously don't understand, but they have to pretend to understand. If they can't explain doremi clearly, they can only say one, two, three, or hearsay, which makes people feel disgusted.

One has to ask, don’t some people really feel superior to others by listening to the music of certain composers?

Qin Yong will teach you a way. If you meet someone who exchanges classical music in the future, if someone asks you whose works you usually listen to, just say Domenigue Alberti and see how they react.

Even the premiere of Bruckner's Symphony No.

So, so, so today, in Chengdu, in the first series of performances of the largest classical music festival in Southwest China, it is so rare and lucky to hear such a Mozart performance and such a song k414. things.

Qin Yong admires every participant on the stage.

I admire Fang Yongbo’s determination even more, that’s all.

Following Luo Xiaoran, he stood up and applauded.

"Wow————————"
-
The applause broke out and no one stopped him.
