The second movement of "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" begins with a short solo of the flute. It is said that the flutist of Newell has done repeated research on the timbre, and finally decided to use a rose gold mouthpiece with a platinum body, although the timbre is not obvious It is much better than the sterling silver flute of the Puhai Philharmonic, but the performer still enthusiastically expressed his enthusiasm through the details of the melody.

The clear flute led the triangular violin and other woodwinds, allowing everyone to form a beautiful but obviously petty picture, and then they all consciously opened their voices with the bell-like unison of the cello group and became the background.The cello phrases in the next six bars are extraordinarily wide, long and steady. After the premiere in Puhai, it was once evaluated as "the vast calmness", but today Niu Ai's performance seems to have caused a lot of small waves.

Of course, the symphony cannot always be calm. After being sufficiently broad and stable, the brass and the violin group began to show some activity, then cheerful, then vivid, and then gorgeous and even gorgeous.

Those overly ostentatious tones in "Yang Jingxing's First Symphony" were once unceremoniously reviewed by an influential French music critic, roughly meaning that it would be nice to have a few flimsy truffles on top of a tender steak, but this A composer's dish is a plate of dark, thick chunks of truffle, and dry-chewing truffles would never be a palate treat for a gourmet with even the slightest taste.The music critic even worried that Yang Jingxing would deviate from the path of those new century musicians, pessimistically predicting or warning that Yang Jingxing will make a lot of money in the future but will not create more and further industries on a more difficult and glorious road Surprised.

Judging from the first few dozen bars of the second movement of the second symphony, Yang Jingxing really didn't make any progress at all, and it can even be said that he became more depraved.During these three to four minutes, except for the sixteen folk music performers who have been sitting upright all the time, almost all other musicians performed their performances one after another. As more and more people were present, the music they performed became clearer and clearer. Specifically, especially after the violin group became the leading role, the color of the music became more rapid and intense, and each musical element appeared so rich and colorful, so that all parts worked together to show the in-depth implementation of the musical genre of "symphonic music" implement.

"Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" finally fully "symphonic" in the second movement. The music is more and more blatantly and even blatantly expressing the composer's love for music genres, wishing to mobilize all elements to express all the advantages of the symphony.The music also makes no secret of the composer's tribute to or imitation of outstanding composers in the history of music, just showing off his "synthetic induction" ability in such a grandiose manner.

For most ordinary diners, even if the first course is a plate of light truffles, they may not dare to jump up and criticize the chef's standard immediately, and they may be moved by the generosity and sincerity of the restaurant, not to mention the carved truffles. It's beautiful.

The string music on the stage is supported by the wind music and changes again and again, allowing the audience to be surprised again and again and re-establish higher expectations.At first glance, the auditorium seems to have established trust in the stage again, and the audience generally stares intently. After all, the current music is the most familiar and friendly to them.

The music "symphony" is getting better and better, constantly affirming and recreating the brilliance and greatness of this art for the audience. Seeing that the next summary and sublimation desire is about to come out, some audiences show more than just their appreciation for music. Love attention, even nervous concern.

After a series of emotional rises, the music did not usher in the sublimation that it should have. The "Symphony" that was already so rich that it was a bit greasy came to an abrupt end in a form that surpassed common sense.Different from the seamless connection of Puhai Philharmonic, Niu Ai paused here before letting the dulcimer and sanxian play their voices.

The "symphonic flavor" performed by dozens of musicians has hardly dissipated, and the first notes of the dulcimer and sanxian are so thin that they are almost drowned in the "symphonic" reverberation. The folk music performers did not appear to be inferior in momentum.

It may be that the appetizer has shown enough sincerity or strength, or that the conductor’s glance back between the movements has a deterrent effect. He “teasing” the composer again. Not only was there no commotion in the auditorium, but there was no reaction at all. No one made any obvious sounds, and there were very few body movements. It seemed that the music on the stage was going as expected, and everyone continued to focus.

As the dulcimer and sanxian began to interact and gradually plump up in mutual support, it seemed that some western listeners had already grasped the emotional color of the oriental instrument, and put on a slight smile when the color of the music was not very clear meaning.The predictions of these few people were not wrong. As other voices began to support or contend, the artistic connection between dulcimer and sanxian became closer and closer, and the musical colors of each other became more and more clear. It is undisputedly cheerful, but It is also different from Jubilation, it is not as generous as Jubilation, but it is more detailed and clear than general Jubilation.

In addition to the subtle contrast of each other's joy and happiness, the yangqin and sanxian lead the other parts to gradually achieve the unity of emotional color, and the music is "symphonic" again, and the process appears to be efficient and smooth. As for the composer's technique It was a coincidence that some creative work was done, and it was not the audience of the premiere that had to undertake the work of judgment.

On the whole, the audience at the Lincoln Center basically accepted the collaboration between the two groups of folk music in the second movement. New York's ability to accept and tolerate culture.

The music is getting more and more joyful, and the composer seems to be ready to follow the habits of more people this time, and is ready to return to peace and tranquility after enough joy.The dulcimer and sanxian comforted and relaxed each other, and it felt like the laughter gradually turned into a smile. The music trend was very obvious, and the facial expressions of the audience were full of anticipation and confidence.

When the music was about to enter a state of peace, suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the pipa group descended from the sky in a way that was almost venting. Although it repeated the motivational theme of sanxian and dulcimer, it showed a completely different color expression, which seemed so decisive Resolute, like a dragon that suddenly appeared in a peaceful sky without seeing its tail and sprinkled thunderbolt colors, but disappeared without a trace after two short bars.

There was a general reaction from the auditorium again, but unlike the somewhat contrived novelty and agitation after hearing rare instruments in the first movement, the reaction of the audience this time was much more nuanced and short-lived but also much more real. It's like a subconscious instinctive reaction of a person. It's not about giving face when you're happy or booing when you're unhappy. There are almost none, and most of them can stabilize before the pipa disappears.

Yeromir, who was waving his baton with abandon, certainly didn't know the audience's reaction, and even the musicians didn't seem to notice. They were more focused on music or their jobs than the audience.

Next, the western strings began to play an important role and lead the music towards sadness.It is generally believed that music is better at expressing sadness, and young composers who always have a hippie smile in life have not shown any timidity in artistic creation, and have successfully brought the concert hall into another auditory and visual atmosphere.

After the Western orchestras tried their best to tear their hearts and souls to the point that people felt that they could not add more, the audience was heavy, and it seemed that men, women, young and old, Asian, African, American and Latin had the same resonance.And when the pipa set off by the violin and the yangqin echoed by the woodwind trumpet began to sing a sad duet, it seemed that most of the audience could also feel the different mourning commented by experts, and swallowed their tears sadly, especially the Chinese compatriots. , Many people are even more worried besides the heaviness.

But then the tranquility and composure of Erhu and Sanxian quickly appeased the audience, and then there was the tranquility and tolerance of Western music. The two-pronged approach achieved remarkable results. The audience became more and more peaceful, and no one seemed to be concerned about the timbre of the stage. There is a sense of novelty and melody, and everyone seems to have adapted to the various ways of the composer.

The fourth part of the second movement expresses solemnity. The music actually uses Western music symphony to express the solemnity and brilliance, but then uses the erhu and pipa as the protagonists to implicitly reflect the solemnity and majesty, which seems to have achieved good results. The audience There are not many movements to change the sitting position at the table.

When the second movement ended with the menacing forcible playing of the timpani, and amidst the heavy reverberation, Jeromir didn't look back, and after a two-second rest, he turned the score with slow and steady movements.The musicians are also fully prepared, and there is no rest for the next three or four movements.

The audience acted consciously and kept absolute silence. After the first movement, there were very few movements of watching and communicating with each other. Even the Chinese compatriots didn’t seem to like to create excitement. There are so many Puyin alumni There is no interaction between them.Teacher You watched the tide from side to side carefully, as if there was nothing interesting to report to the director, so he continued to stare at the stage.

Before the start of the third movement, the chief violinist Wilson on the stage and the chief pipa teacher Wang of the Puhai National Orchestra smiled and greeted each other, as if they were sympathetic to each other, but after the music started, neither of them was polite, and the principal violin had a soloist The high-level technical performance has a fast melody with a dazzling color, and the pipa player has already had a deep personal understanding of the music.

The two chiefs were already full of gunpowder, but as their companions jumped out to help out, the two melodies became more and more passionate, and it seemed that a gang fight was about to happen.Many viewers were still excited. Although they didn't open their mouths to boo, their eyes lit up.

But there was no real fight on the stage, they were just shouting, and as the other voices gradually joined in, they began to shout more and more arrogantly, and the scene became chaotic.The audience is becoming more and more confused about the situation, not only focusing, but even trying to listen to and watch the stage, trying to grasp the theme and direction of the music.

With the first full performance of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. [-]", the composer seems to have lost control of the work, and it sounds like a chaos without a clue.Had this uproar lasted even a little longer, most listeners would have lost their patience.Fortunately, the music began to reorganize itself after the chaos reached the extreme, and this self-reorganization process is still unconscious, it seems natural and people can't see the way, it seems to be like magic, everyone knows that there must be some tricks, But I can't figure it out for a while.

More audiences don’t know how to explore the principle of magic, what they need is that kind of surprise, so when the music evolves to the point where the pipa and the violin echo each other, the audience is a bit like watching a magic show, staring at the stage and even their eyes Not even blinking.

When Avery Fisher Hall ushered in the second full performance of "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony", the same material changed into a completely different musical image. I dare not miss the slightest bit of concentration, and of course there are also shocks or longings from a few colleagues.

The four melodies combining Chinese and Western music become more and more harmonious and even close during the march. In the concert hall, on the stage, and in the auditorium, there is almost a vague sense of discipline.At this time, almost all the Chinese and Western musicians were active, and they seemed to have no barriers, and their faces were full of love for music and art work.In fact, some of the [-] folk music performers who came to the United States this time were questioned by [-], but at this time they also exuded a full performer temperament, and they seemed so affectionate and devoted.

In the auditorium, the obvious differences between China and the West before the opening seemed to be integrated and unified at the end of the concert, and it was even more wonderful to see and feel a kind of orderliness.At this time, the freshness and curiosity on the faces of Western audiences are no longer visible, and the Chinese compatriots no longer have such obvious family affection or loyalty. Everyone's attention is only on the stage, and their expressions are only focused. No one even looked at the composer for a long time. I glanced over.

When the four melodies are fully integrated, the melody becomes unprecedentedly bright and transparent when the whole group plays in unison. Then, with the support of the unprecedented combination of form and technique in the work, the music becomes even more magnificent, and each melody is like the colorful colors of the mythical world. Towering trees are uprooted and grow hundreds of feet indefinitely to form a vast cosmic forest, or simply like colorful nebulae. The works form not only auditory shock, but also awe.

The end of the third movement is so majestic, and the fourth movement is about to start. Why did it become a little sentimental again? The solemn and solemn audience couldn’t get used to it. It took a while to let go of the lofty ambitions established in the third movement and appreciate it instead. In contrast, the rondo is simply entertaining, but when the Ecanon Variations of folk music are also clear, the artistry of the music greatly exceeds the entertainment.

From a functional point of view, the fourth movement can be seen as a summary and expansion of the whole piece, or to use Puyin's internal statement, it is actually Director Yang's verification and determination of the existing strength and untapped potential of folk music.Although the climax of the fourth movement sounds like the climax of the whole piece, it is actually a continuation of the third movement. After the collision of the Canon Variations of folk music and the rondo of Western music, the already huge music material began to continuously Expand and expand, making the music unstoppable.At this time, the musicians on the stage were gnashing their teeth and playing with all their strength, and many audience members seemed to be secretly cheering for the musicians.

After all, folk music has a small number of people, and several ear-catching timbres are almost submerged in the public. However, with the decline of the market, Western instruments have gradually stopped playing, and Chinese folk music has gradually become more prominent. Some anxious Chinese listeners are a little happy. raised eyebrows.

All the musicians in Niu Ai stopped, and only the folk music was still going on on the stage. The four groups of folk music played together the most traditional Chinese melody. After the enthusiastic speech, they returned here, and the Chinese audience seemed to be in a trance , but Western audiences did not protest.

The dulcimer, pipa, and erhu faded out one after another. Jeromir was still working hard on stage, and other musicians also showed concern for the sanxian players who shouldered the last heavy responsibility.

Sanxian played the long cello phrase of the second movement. It can be seen that besides the professionals, many listeners have memories of this phrase, but the expressions of the peers are more abundant.

Sanxian also stopped one by one, leaving only one in the end, and played the ten notes of the last two bars of the whole piece in front of everyone in the concert hall.The two performances of the Second Symphony in New York and Puhai were actually very different, but at the end of the piece, Jeromir's performance was exactly the same as that of Lian Lixin in Puhai, and he was so affectionate.

Jeromil's movements were more contrived than Lian Lixin's, and the performers were also affected. The last two notes were played too slowly and slightly heavier, but they probably didn't care too much about such irrelevant details.

The last note was also settled, and the performer kept his posture for a while before looking up, but Yeromir hadn't stopped his posture, and seemed to be fixed, and seemed to be listening to something.But this time he couldn't hear anything, the concert hall was as quiet as the college entrance examination room.

Jeromir had been frozen for three or four seconds, but there was no applause, and the concert hall was still silent.The Chinese compatriots who spoke well during the day are also dumb at this meeting. No one took the lead at all. They followed the example of the Western audience and continued to watch the stage and pretended to have nothing to do with it. So indifferent.

Jeromil stepped back, put down the baton that he was pretending to be self-humiliated in the air, and then seemed to stand at attention, then turned around and faced the auditorium, but he did not completely admit defeat, his face was still stubborn and proud.

I don't know who took the lead, but being so contemptuous by the conductor, within a second or two, all the audience raised their hands and clapped. It sounded very neat and well-trained, and it was thunderous applause.

Yeromir probably felt that he had won, so he continued his incredible expression, only slightly twisting his neck to achieve a majestic inspection effect.The audience was really scared, and continued to applaud without saying a word, and some people even flattered their expressions.Yang Jingxing also clapped his hands, although he showed no expression.
