This year's Spring Festival Gala, Liao Yuan's originally submitted piece was Beethoven's "Für Elise".
This piece of music was actually unknown in the early years. It was not until many years after Beethoven's death that people discovered the score from a woman named Theresa.
Teresa was a female student whom Beethoven taught when she was forty years old, and she was very fond of her. Therefore, in a very happy mood, she wrote this ditty "Baga Taylor in A minor" and presented it to her.
Teresa, and wrote on the score "To Teresa, April 27, 1810, in memory of".
After that, this score remained with Teresa, and Beethoven did not keep the manuscript for himself.
Therefore, this piece of music was not included in his catalog after his death.
It was not until the 1860s that the German musician Noel was writing a biography of Beethoven, and the manuscript of this piece of music was discovered among the belongings of Teresa Malfati.
In 1867, when Noel published the sheet music of this piece in Stuttgart, a city in southwestern Germany, he mistakenly wrote the original name "To Theresa" as "To Alice". From then on, this piano work began to be called "To Alice"
It has been widely circulated in the world, but its original name "To Teresa" has been forgotten by people.
"Für Elise" has become a must-learn piece for piano beginners from all over the world due to its soft and touching, short and exquisite features, simple techniques and easy playing. Therefore, people like to call it "trivial music".
”.
But this insignificance embodies Beethoven's strong personal style and creative ideas, and reflects his unique creative thinking.
The music also has various other unique features and is highly artistic and expressive, making it a favorite piece for many musicians to perform.
However, director Zong Xu felt that this piece was too short.
Because "To Alice" is only a short piece of more than 3 minutes, according to the time left for Liao Yuan in the Spring Festival Gala, as long as it does not exceed ten minutes, Liao Yuan is basically allowed to do whatever he wants.
Therefore, after thinking again and again, Liao Yuan added two more songs. The first one is called "il-salto-dellangelo". The title of the song is in Italian and translated into Chinese, it is "Angel's Jump".
The second song is "oeano", which is translated as "Ocean".
Both are representative works of the famous Italian composer Roberto Cacciapaglia in his previous life.
Unlike Beethoven's "Für Elise", "Leap of Angels" and "Ocean" have not appeared in this life, so when Liao Yuan made a slight adaptation, he softened the three pieces together and played the piece.
At that time, Zong Xu made the decision without saying a word.
Therefore, a song "For Alice", a song "Leaping of Angels", and a song "Ocean" were merged together in this life and will soon appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage tonight.
The three pieces of music all contain pop elements and are naturally incomparable with real classical music in terms of difficulty, but to the audience's ears, they are definitely the most beautiful melodies.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of bells ringing on time came from the speakers on the Spring Festival Gala live stage and all the corridors backstage.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a burst of joyful beating of gongs and drums, the Spring Festival Gala stage suddenly became a riot of purple and red.
Hundreds of dancers and singers took the stage together to present tonight's cultural feast to Chinese audiences around the world.
Subsequently, representatives of various ethnic groups also came on stage to perform ethnic characteristics, including Guangdong lion dance, Mongolian dance, Yi dance, and even performing artists from Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Sichuan Opera, and Henan Opera.
Although they only had ten seconds of screen time on stage, these actors had been practicing off stage for nearly half a year.
Everyone was filled with joy.
Soon, in a joyous atmosphere, the hosts took the stage grandly.
"Dear audience friends, Happy New Year!"
"What you are watching and listening to now is the 2023 Spring Festival Gala broadcast live by China Central Radio and Television to global audiences!"
"Our Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live to the world through CCTV's comprehensive channel, variety show channel, Chinese international channel, children's channel, military agriculture channel and 4k ultra-high definition channel!"
"At the same time, CCTV Chinese Online Broadcast, China Traffic Broadcasting, as well as CCTV.com, CCTV.com, International Online and other new media social channels are being broadcast simultaneously!"
"also……"
While the hosts were memorizing the script, Liao Yuan also sat in the front row of the Spring Festival Gala under the guidance of the staff.
Next to Liao Yuan, Zhang Henge, Ai Shi and others were sitting. A little further away, there were many well-known artists and celebrities. When Liao Yuan just sat down in his seat, the first program officially started.
At this time, Zhang Henge suddenly whispered to Liao Yuan: "Mr. Liao, I heard that Lemon Entertainment plans to bring Han Yu back in the near future..."
Liao Yuan turned his head and looked at him: "Come back?"
Zhang Henge cheered up: "Yes, this is absolutely true. After more than a year of dormancy, Lemon Entertainment has arranged a movie for Han Yu not long ago. Although it is a supporting role, isn't this what it means?
Is this a sign of comeback?"
Liao Yuan groaned, and while his mind was racing, he said casually: "What is the attitude of radio and television towards artists with bad records?"
"Bad deeds?"
Zhang Henge laughed: "Actually, Han Yu's deeds are not really bad. If he was taking drugs, visiting prostitutes, etc., he would definitely not be allowed to relapse. But Han Yu is not the case. He is evading taxes, and he also lost all his money to pay all the tax arrears.
He was on it, not even on the blacklist. Now, the radio and television side can only turn a blind eye to his comeback. Otherwise, Lemon Entertainment would not dare to arrange roles for him, right?
?”
Liao Yuan was thoughtful.
Zhang Henge added: "Not only Han Yu, but also Huang Zibin has paid all the tax arrears and is ready to pay in the near future. They are all artists with a fan base. As long as the agency promotes it well and plays well,
Cards, it is not difficult to restore the past situation..."
Liao Yuandao: "This doesn't seem to have much to do with me."
Zhang Henge smiled: "Mr. Liao, that incident caused a lot of fuss at the beginning. Although we all know that Mr. Wang Rui did it, many people regard you as the leader behind the scenes. Now that Huang Zibin and Han Yu have come back one after another, I
I think they may have a grudge against you, so you should be careful, especially Han Yu. I know him, he is a villain who will seek revenge, and I am not saying that Mr. Liao should understand the issue of people's safety."
"Thank you for reminding me." Liao Yuan smiled slightly.
What is dirty in the entertainment industry is not the transaction of power and money, but a series of means for personal development.
For example, a well-known film and television actor in his previous life was reported by various people in the sun, and after various incidents of drug abuse and prostitution were exposed, his career was ruined in an instant.
There are countless such incidents.
But Liao Yuan is not worried. First, he is not afraid of slanting shadows if he is upright.
Second, even if he leaves the entertainment industry, he is confident that he can live a good life.
However, Liao Yuan still overlooked one point. Although he was clean and self-sufficient, not all the people around him were holy Buddhas.
…
At the middle of the Spring Festival Gala, Liao Yuan took the stage to perform amid the loud shouts of the hosts.
He had only rehearsed once before, but he was not too nervous. Facing the eyes of the audience and the cameras from all directions, Liao Yuan behaved very openly, just like his sitting posture, as straight as a pine tree.
This is a white Steinway piano. Liao Yuan is wearing a white suit. He is sitting there with ice fog slowly rising under his feet, as if he is riding on a ship.
The whole place was dark.
But there are stars twinkling in the sky.
This is a 3D projection, and when viewed on a TV, the effect is more realistic.
Suddenly, a dolphin's cry appeared in everyone's ears.
On the big screen, the deep sea was boiling, and dolphins jumped out of the sea one after another.
At this time, Liao Yuan's fingers began to play on the keys.
The first melody was clearly transmitted to the ears of the global audience through live broadcast.
At that moment, the audience in front of the TV, computer, and mobile phone screens were instantly brought into a rich imaginary world.
There seems to be a lonely ship sailing on the sea. It neither seeks happiness nor escapes from happiness. It just sails forward, with the calm blue sea below and the golden sun above its head.
The prelude is taken from "Ocean", and the countless turns clearly reveal the vastness of the ocean, its tides and ups and downs, its turbulence and calmness, making people unable to help but be attracted by the sea in the dark night.
"Awesome my brother!"
"This piece of music is obviously very quiet, but I am very excited in my heart, just like listening to a novel..."
"I saw the lonely mountains and rivers, the flow of people, the long ancient roads, the wandering elves, the caravans in the desert, the marching soldiers, the gentle waves, the huge abyss, and I also saw your tears."
"I heard the phantom of the old Soviet Union, Lenin's impassioned speech, the cheers of the October Revolution, and then I seemed to hear the whine of steam gears, the gunfire that killed Ferdinand, and the cannons of the defense of Leningrad.
Boom, I heard countless people singing the Internationale together. After a while of silence, I heard people wailing and roaring. I heard women, children and the elderly crying on the road. I heard a leader announcing the end of a great period. I heard everything finally fell silent."
"Yes, the sea in the dark is the place that most inspires imagination. Just listen to it tell those ancient and distant secrets!"
"I came from hell and want to go to heaven. Tonight, I accidentally heard Liao Yuan's performance, so I went down to earth and passed by the world."
"I am drifting in the lonely sea, where the sea and the sky meet. I don't know the direction, and I don't know where to stop. I just know the same thing, keep moving forward without looking back until I find the place where I am willing to stay."
"Holy shit, poets are all poets!"
"Some of the greatest poets of the 21st century appear in this live broadcast room!"
"Nima, it seems that you can't show off in the live broadcast room without showing off your special skills. Let me do it too: I can row a boat without oars, and I can sail without wind direction, because in my life, I rely entirely on waves!"
"Life is like an adverse journey, and I am also a traveler; I have a bowl of wine to soothe the wind and dust."
"Yes, they are all great masters. I am so impressed by them."
"Passing by, give me your knee!"
Not only the major online live broadcast rooms, but also Weibo, there was a wave of heated comments about the song "Ocean".
It seems that at this moment, poets all over the world can no longer hide themselves and all jump out to pretend to be bards!
But it has to be said that Liao Yuan's song contains the ups and downs of various emotions.
For example, rapid and soothing, tense and relaxed, but in the end all the rhythms will become indifferent.
This seems to be a microcosm of life.
After the "Ocean" segment was played, Liao Yuan played a classic "Female Elise" piano sketch in the middle.
After this clip appeared, many people who knew music throughout the Spring Festival Gala showed discouraged smiles. Some audience members who were itchy even walked with their fingers in the air and played along with Liao Yuan's playing.
At the end, a strange song "Angel's Jump" once again amazed the audience.
In the climax passage, the majestic melody shocks people to the point of numbness of the scalp. Loneliness, sadness and poignancy are all evaporated at this moment.
Zhang Henge, Tan Jie, Ai Shi and others all raised their heads and looked at Liao Yuan with burning eyes.
This kind of music, even if it is promoted hundreds of years from now, will never go out of style!
This is music that goes deep into the soul and never needs words!
This is a masterful performance!
The loneliness in the sound of the piano is heartbreaking, like two people who can never meet each other
I can't see you in the sky, and you can't hear me in the darkness.
I am on top of the green grass, and you are under the fallen leaves. We are obviously very close, but yet too far away to reach.
Loneliness is the biggest theme of this song "Angel's Jump".
Love cannot eliminate this loneliness, but it can bring about thinking. It is precisely because we understand the loneliness of others from ourselves and others that our hearts are filled with the most sincere love for others.
We walk side by side in the dark, on our own pilgrimage roads, and we have no way of knowing whether we are heading to the same holy place, because we cannot tell others or even ourselves what the holy place in our hearts is like.
When ten minutes passed, Liao Yuan's performance officially ended.
The entire Spring Festival Gala was silent.
Everyone was clearly dressed in a festive manner, but at this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten where they were, with a look of endless aftertaste.
Master-level performances can often arouse everyone's deepest emotions.
When people came back to their senses, in an instant, applause surged like a tidal wave.
Liao Yuan stood up and bowed to the audience as a gentleman.
He was actually a little embarrassed. Director Zong Xu was a rough guy. During the initial interview, he casually played "Für Elise". Later, because he had too much time, he added "Ocean" and "Leap of Angels"
.
Zong Xu couldn't understand the realm in the sound of the piano, but he just thought it sounded good, so he made the decision immediately.
Liao Yuan was too lazy to mix the three songs together at home until he was about to go on stage.
The first two songs are actually pretty good. "Ocean" and "For Alice" are both very fascinating and allow people to experience beautiful melodies.
But "Angel's Jump" is very capable of leading people into the unpredictable abyss, because everyone will have various emotions when listening to the climax passage, especially when it is played by a master pianist like Liao Yuan.
It's even more exciting.
Therefore, it is obviously a festive day, but now it makes everyone feel lonely for a while.
But it has to be said that Liao Yuan's performance made many people who didn't care about piano suddenly change their previous views on piano and music.
A good piece of music represents a thought, love, peace, or various powers emerging in the heart. If this music is played by a top pianist, this power will be infinitely amplified.
Therefore, many people like to listen to concerts by world-class musicians.
Of course, when listening to similar large-scale musical works, it is best to be supplemented by some relevant knowledge.
Only in this way can we hear the differences in the performance of the same piece of music by different performers, understand the emotions of the performers, and officially enter the door of the music palace. ——
