Music is the common language of mankind. When the earth's fame first began to sprout, music was discovered and created in every corner of the planet. There may even be animals that felt and used music before humans appeared. So did the applause.

It is a common etiquette language in the world. Although there is no definite and reliable origin of palm holding in the East and the West, everyone knows that the first action communication between parents and young children is to clap their hands. Even primates will use the same body movements to express

hapiness.

There used to be so-called "noise musicians". In order to let those pedantic and stubborn people understand the fact that noise can also become music, the most understandable example they gave was applause in the concert hall. The characteristics of applause fully meet the definition of noise.

, but even the most feudal and backward colleagues probably have to admit that this sound is so beautiful and moving.

Although Gong Xiaoling, associate professor of Puyin Composition Department, is not an avant-garde, she also likes to inspire students with beautiful descriptions of applause, thunderous, wave-like, stormy... Let the students imagine and imagine the kind of happy harvest.

Perseverance and struggle amid desire. Yes, the history of music has left not only so many musicians and works that have been praised and spread, but also countless stories about applause that have been remembered and spread. Not only the great musicians have good stories and legends, but the ordinary Pu Yin

Students also have their own cherished memories of applause that are waiting to become good stories in the future, such as the introversion and shyness that are resolved by applause, the motivation and fighting spirit given by applause, and even the trajectory of their lives changed by applause.

However, Yeromil may not be so hungry for applause. In his artistic career, he may have enjoyed more love from the audience than many musicians spend on the stage. In 1992, the then unknown Yeromil

He took over the baton of the Munich Symphony Orchestra despite huge controversy, and it took only half a month to use Mahler's Sixth Symphony to quickly convince the discerning German audience at the new conductor's debut. After the performance

The applause that rang out again and again was understood by commentators as expressions of surprise, apology and respect respectively.

Compared with famous works that make conducting students lament that success also requires luck, the pinnacle of Jeromir's career should be his debut after coming to New Zealand. At that time, due to the leak of the news, he became the most expensive chief conductor in the world.

For a time, there were divergent opinions and even criticisms, and labels such as betrayal and greed for money were attached to him. Fortunately, Jeromil was able to speak with his strength. In just one performance, the New York audience was so excited that he had found a treasure, and even those who originally had no good intentions were even more excited.

Critics also shamelessly bowed their heads and worshiped. In the fall of 2002, Lincoln Center's "Night of Performances" almost became a booster for serious music in the new century. Even the industry congratulated and celebrated with unprecedented unity.

, the curtain call, which was delayed for ten minutes by the audience’s ruthless enthusiasm, is still touted as a myth.

It's a pity that the glory of the industry is no longer there, Yeromil is also old, and the listeners who sincerely love serious music are also old and have even taken the lead. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recreate that exciting moment. At this moment, Ai

Although the applause in the Free Fisher Hall was quite warm, there was no tearful love and uncontrollable excitement in the audience, let alone fanaticism. The scene of two thousand people was actually not small.

, but the up and down clapping movements are not universally exciting with different expressions. Except for the joy and solemnity of a small number of people, more of the audience seems to be just a polite habit that suits the time and the occasion. Although everyone's movements are enthusiastic

But there is no emotion on his face, and it is the most sincere statement of narcissism to overturn the applause the musician received with reality.

Fortunately, Yeromil never mentioned his former bravery, and we could see that he did not dislike the situation at hand. After facing the warm applause from the audience for more than ten seconds, the famous conductor's eyes were as high as the sky.

A little sincerity and even gratitude were gradually added to his pride. After twisting his neck slightly, Yeromil even retracted his chin visible to the naked eye, probably nodding to the audience.

After all, it was the home audience, so there was still a sense of camaraderie. After the conductor made some remarks, the applause on the stage had a slight upward momentum. Some audience members raised their arms higher while clapping, and some people seemed to use their expressions to affirm the performance on the stage.

Performance.

However, Jeromil continued to be arrogant, and stopped moving again. He stood upright and looked straight ahead, as if he was beginning to think about the profound propositions of life.

The audience continued to applaud, and it only lasted half a minute. Most of the two thousand people must be veterans. This routine still has the staying power. After all, even the small Chinese boss who confessed that it was his first time to enter the art center couldn't help but applaud.

As he got better, he clapped his hands even harder. Yang Jingxing couldn't stop saying that tonight's performance was considered a success to be as good as it is now. Apart from him, the creator, the one who has put in the most talent and effort is the conductor.

.

Yeromil was also quite capable and pretended to be quite bold. He stood on the conductor's podium and put on that profound and confident look, and actually dared to maintain it for half a minute. The conductor was also very lucky, as he pretended to be pretentious for another half minute.

The audience continued to applaud enthusiastically for minutes, no one stopped or made any impatient movements, and the applause did not even show an obvious decrease trend.

Standing motionless requires endurance. How could it take more effort than sitting? Yeromil couldn't hold on any longer. He moved his legs and posture, and at the same time moved his eyes. He seemed to have let go of some of his aloofness, and began

When he looks directly at the audience in front of him, he looks at them almost as equals, and with the adjustment of his expression, he has become vaguely friendly.

The audience was so skillful. Just after the conductor gave him such a good look, the applause immediately went up. Many people raised their hands higher than their faces, which was a deliberate expression of flattery.

With a slow, deep breath, Jeromil's expression became peaceful. He even smiled as he looked straight ahead, and then his eyes began to move gently to the auditorium in front of him with a very steady rhythm.

Patrolling. This is his territory and he is very skilled at it, left front, right front, left center, right center and rear.

The audience's eyes were all on the conductor, and they were completely attentive, so they could respond accurately and timely. Not only did they clap harder, but more and more people were eager to give it a try, and they seemed to be brewing and accumulating feelings for the conductor.

of higher love.

After calmly looking at the area in front of him and making a general review, Yeromil turned his eyes to the second floor ahead, and his colleague changed his expression to be more friendly.

The applause that has lasted for nearly two minutes has become more enthusiastic. If it is compared to the beginning, the rise is much more obvious and violent, it is almost doubled. If the applause was like a torrential rain at the beginning, this will be simply

The storm was pouring violently. But that was basically it. It was impossible to knock the table, smash the bench, and blow the whistle in this situation.

Behind the front, Jeromil began to turn his body and put the ticket to his right. Despite his age, the conductor's range of movements was very accurate. It could be said that it was a box for politicians' families, and he had to raise his face.

, and even made people laugh.

The politicians' wives and children, who had already shown their enthusiasm, were also very generous. They immediately became more brilliant or solemn, and clapped their hands more cheerfully than the civilians. There seemed to be some subtle vanity or recognition. Other audience members did not seem to dislike the conductor.

He seems to be happy to ask for this from powerful people, and even expresses support for it.

Jeromil turned to the front again and paused for a moment. His real purpose was to hang the ticket on the left.

Some people say that doing something the best is art. It makes sense. Yeromil's technical level in greeting the audience is no less than his commanding skills. In more than 100 seconds, he actually combined such a few movements with

The expression was so clear and logical that everyone could not take their eyes off it or even be deeply attracted. It may have really high technical content. And the stormy applause seems to be the best background music for Jeromil's artistic performance, at this moment.

The musicians behind the conductor were all enjoying the music and performance. They were all watching with gusto, and some of them were moved by the performance.

After inspecting the auditorium, Yeromil actually finished his performance and entered a new stage. He relaxed and seemed a little happy. He looked up and down the audience with a smile as if he was seeking communication.

Next to the composer, Teacher You once again adjusted the clapping position to the highest level and glanced at Tang Qing, then turned to look at Wen Fujiang and the others. His actions were unhurried and leadership-like.

style.

Regardless of whether it was because of Jeromil's solo performance or not, the second half of the concert was successful, and very successful. "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" received long-lasting applause for several minutes at the Lincoln Center.

This cannot be denied. And judging from the current situation, there is no such thing as the conservative and safe prediction that "Western audiences need time to accept things they have never been exposed to". The previous leaders gave composers

The precaution of "if there is no enthusiastic response is not due to the work itself" is redundant.

The Chinese and overseas Chinese audience seemed to be completely relieved now. They were not embarrassed or lost face. The Yanhuang bloodline who seemed a little guilty or humble at the end of the music was no longer inferior to the white and black ones in terms of momentum. The audience was filled with people.

There are about two to three hundred people with yellow skin and black hair scattered in front and behind. At this moment, their sitting postures, expressions, and clapping movements seem to have a tacit understanding of spirit that is different from any other ethnic group, connecting them.

Together. Tang Qing, a famous Taiwanese musician, and Wen Fujiang, leader of the Puhai National Orchestra and party branch secretary, are probably teenage bananas of third or even fourth generation immigrants, or alumni of Shangpu School. It seems to be nothing.

Despite differences and barriers, they have become loyal music fans.

Putting aside the most glorious moment in his career, in fact, Jeromil has not experienced such long-lasting and warm applause a few times a year. Although he deserves it based on his level of strength, he is not really that arrogant.

An arrogant person, so Jeromil looked at the audience and nodded. His movements were not large, but he nodded a few times. There seemed to be a bit of gratitude in his expression, or an affirmation of the audience's appreciation.

Are you flattered? A group of people from the front and back of the auditorium immediately stood up and clapped harder. They looked clearly excited. Many people in the industry, such as Le Xian, were very good at putting on restrained expressions, and Tang Qing

His movements were not like those of an old man who had undergone bypass surgery. Even Wen Fujiang had put down his leadership arrogance. Although Professor Tongsha stood up, his face was still serious and indifferent. However, the most positive responses were from industry insiders, those from Julie

Ya's teachers and students, as well as Puyin's alumni, all quickly stood up to pay respect to the conductor. And good news, the famous and acerbic music critic who doesn't give anyone face also stood up and applauded.

Of course, many audience members have already recognized the famous pianist Mao Tianchi or the cellist Perroni who were also in the audience. They should be the musicians taking the lead. The audience stood up very quickly, and there was a buzz.

Everyone stood up one after another with almost no hesitation, and even the Chinese compatriots were not too cautious.

Standing ovation is a very high etiquette, but it is not rare for an orchestra like New Ireland that performs the first half of the year. It must happen every week. But today is slightly different. First of all, the audience stood up in a violent manner.

In four or five seconds, almost all the two thousand people left their chairs without exception. Whether it was the wives of politicians or the middle-aged white couples wearing jeans sitting in the cheapest area, no one was reserved. Everyone stood up like the general ones.

What's even more different about the applause is that today's audience was like a surprise attack. Even senior experts found it difficult to observe this trend from the conductor's thank you time in the first two minutes. The look in the first minute definitely seemed like the conductor should be there.

Before the warm applause died down, Akechi left the stage to wait for the encore call.

Two years ago, there was a grand standing ovation when Jeromil conducted the North American premiere of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. 1", but the audience at that time was far from as neat and decisive as it is today, and that was the normal state.

But Yeromil is a veteran after all. He has played outdoor concerts with tens of thousands of spectators. He is not panicked or flattered by being treated by a mere two thousand spectators in his own territory. In fact, he is still

He seemed almost unmoved. Faced with the instant standing up, the more turbulent applause, and the cheers that started to emerge, the famous conductor still smiled a little and expressed his proud gratitude with stingy little gestures.

Not only the conductor, but also the musicians didn't have any big reaction. They just seemed to be happier with the conductor. They seemed to really love their conductor and looked at them with congratulations and admiration behind their backs. The difference became apparent at this time.

Just a few hours of running-in is far from making the Chinese and Western musicians truly familiar and harmonious. The sixteen folk musicians on the stage are not as skilled as the Philharmonic musicians, and more of them remain solemn.
