The moment the lights came on, everything on the stage shocked the people's eyes.
The playing postures of the string players in each part are as neat as one person playing.
He drew his bow neatly and moved his head neatly to the sonorous rhythm.
That conductor.
The range of his movements was so small at first that people at the far end of the seat could hardly see him moving, but no matter how far or near, everyone felt that he was like the centerpiece of the entire stage, and his shoulders rose and fell when he breathed.
All are affecting changes in music.
When a sudden and powerful stroke from the viola section sounded, the angle of his bent left arm was slightly raised.
The intensity of the entire music instantly increased, but it was still so layered.
As the range of his movements gradually became larger and larger, the sound of a single orchestra's pizzicato became heavier and heavier.
Just like all predictions are made 0.1 seconds before the final reveal.
Jiang Yuzhen raised the hand holding the bow.
Between breathing and breathing.
Her bow brushed against her string.
She closed her eyes.
At this moment, the opportunity on the stage seemed to shift to her.
Her piano sound was not melodious or melodious.
The arm she waved was like a sharp knife, opening and closing like this, tearing apart a corner of the stage.
At this moment, feeling the strong audio-visual sensation brought by the stage, Qin Jian's arms were covered with a layer of fine goosebumps.
...
First, one must mention the old joke about how Vivaldi wrote a violin concerto and then copied it a thousand times.
Even if it's an old joke.
In that star-studded Baroque era, Vivaldi was a respected leader, a violinist and a master composer.
The most criticized thing is that - 'all his string works sound almost the same.'
"It's like the ever-changing changes of a piece of music." - Fritz Liszt.
Liszt's speech may have been influenced by his teacher Czerny.
This is probably due to Beethoven's deep prejudice against Vivaldi, which seemed to have affected the young Czerny.
If we continue to trace back, we can easily see that Mozart was full of praise for Vivaldi.
Let's make a simple guess here. Maybe the master-disciple relationship between Beethoven and Mozart broke down because of this.
But that’s not the point of the story.
The important thing is that even Beethoven had to admit that Vivaldi did create a new creative technique.
'In the form of music he created, he divided the wind and string instruments into two groups, one is a relatively small solo group, and the other is the entire orchestra.'
The two dialogue or compete depending on the situation.
Later he discovered that this kind of competition could even leave aside the wind section.
One solo instrument and a string orchestra are enough.
Later, a set of great string works "Adventures in Harmony and Creativity" was born.
To this day, this massive work still represents a major concerto form.
As we all know, concertos often provide space for composers and performers to experiment with timbre.
If we want to confirm this, there is no better example than the four concertos that were circulated in the world before the advent of "Adventures of Harmony and Creativity".
They are independent of the concerto.
Often known as 'The Four Seasons'.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, four concertos.
...
"four seasons."
This set of works is so famous that its fame itself even surpasses its creator.
In record stores on the streets of Salzburg or Hamburg, Qin Jian has seen the record with 'The Four Seasons' printed on it in the most conspicuous place on the shelf countless times.
Countless versions.
Although these four works are so similar, it would be difficult for an orchestra to reinterpret them to find a novel way of playing them.
So it's a pity that most Four Seasons records on the market just let these melodies flow from beginning to end on their own.
Qin Jian likes Vivaldi.
The recovery of spring, the heat of summer, the harvest of autumn, and the harshness of winter.
He is very familiar with these four works.
It's just that there seems to be a little problem with the order of performances on the stage.
The beginning is winter.
This alone is enough to explain the conductor's refusal to abide by rules.
The exciting and fast string rhythm was joined by Jiang Yuzhen's lead, but it still maintained the cold atmosphere of the stage.
The harpsichord reappears among the string chords, but the intensity changes from a whisper to a roar.
Just when the cold and biting movement was about to end, the conductor on the stage tapped his left hand lightly.
The music changed again in an instant.
Transitioning to the brightness of spring, Jiang Yuzhen used the violin to imitate the singing of birds and the gurgling water, announcing the arrival of "spring", like a beautiful dream about beautiful people.
But the sudden unison of the cellos was like a burst of thunder and lightning.
Under the pouring rain, the accompaniment rhythm of the two notes of the viola is like the barking of a sheepdog.
Just like the moment when the shepherds were awakened, the music changed again.
Xia's slow introduction slowly sounded in the early morning of a lazy hot night.
The shepherd opened the door.
A false alarm.
The climate change in mid-summer is vividly transformed by the violin's ingenious strength and speed.
The conductor led the orchestra to emphasize this feature.
It seemed to highlight the unusual dream just now.
Once again with a modulation, autumn begins with a dance to celebrate the harvest, and the music finally comes to an end in a drunken carnival.
A stage spliced together with excerpts from four concertos is like a musical fairy tale of the changing seasons presented to the audience.
"Bravo."
It has to be said that the other party is better at this trick than me.
Just when Qin Jian was about to raise his hands and applaud.
A dazzling light rose from the curtain behind the orchestra.
The entire big screen completely illuminated the stage.
The chords of winter sounded again.
Qin Jian's eyes were startled. Along with the music, snowflakes flashed briefly on the big screen and some black lines appeared.
These flowing lines form simple patterns on the white curtain.
The trembling simple little man moved forward with difficulty in the wind drawn by the lines.
In front of the villain is a hut with a stove.
As the scene turned into a warm small room again, the villain lay on the bed supported by lines.
Qin Jian looked at all this in disbelief. It completely overlapped with the previous music scene in his mind.
When the villain falls asleep, the music returns to spring.
After the thunder of the cello, music returned to summer.
The moment the villain clumsily got off the bed, the lines on the big screen outlined another wheat field.
The music has changed to autumn.
The villain seemed to be harvesting when suddenly a dog outlined in lines ran towards him.
During the entire chase, apart from the strings, a loud and holy song sounded throughout the music.
Only then did people notice that there was a choir in the orchestra pit.
The solemn church mass did not cause any discomfort in the biting cold wind.
As the music came to an end, the villain on the big screen ran faster and faster as the conductor made wider and wider swings.
On the screen, a pointed room suddenly appeared in front of the villain.
The audience in the audience were all nervous about this scene.
Finally, avoiding the pursuit of the hound, the villain stepped into the church door amidst the fading sound of plucking from the string section.
"Boom!!"
It was like a loud slamming of the door, all the big money players slapped the piano case together, and all the singers imitated each line of this line.
The conductor under the lamppost, the silver figure bent over greatly and clenched his hands into fists above his head.
All sounds disappeared at this moment.
Only the little figure on the big screen seemed to be holding his knees and panting violently, and his lines were shaking.
...
The conductor was also breathing heavily.
moment.
He turned around, muttering something in his mouth as if he was counting.
Two seconds or three seconds later.
He gently raised his hand,
Then the whole orchestra stood up.
bow.
Just at this moment.
The light and shadow on the big screen change again.
The small house with a steeple was colored and turned into a church.
The villain has an extra red robe.
The hound outside the church door turned into a kneeling believer.
The picture freezes.
A row of subtitles appears.
‘The Four Seasons’
‘Cai Song’s Works’
...
Vivaldi, also a cardinal, was a pioneer in opera creation.
Still in that star-studded Baroque era.
The distance between Qin Jian's pupils swayed.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why the scene started like this.
