Behind the big suite and parting with 20,000 points of worship
It sounds good.
The word "pleasant" can be used to describe Liszt's works, which always makes people feel that it is not so accurate.
Heine once publicly called him "the most naive and ignorant child of our time" in the Paris music circle because of his overly gorgeous and exaggerated "Grand Etudes".
Belgian musicologist Fettes once pointed out to his face, "It is a pity that Mr. Liszt, who is so talented, turned music into a juggling or magic trick." He also sincerely advised the other party, "You are still young and have enough time."
Change your will."
Even to this day, academic circles are still debating which of Liszt's symphonic poems or the twelve virtuoso etudes better represents his artistic achievements.
But no matter whether it is ancient or modern or inside or outside academic circles, no one can deny that "Hungarian Rhapsody" has always been Liszt's most popular work.
There are a total of 19 songs, and each one has a different temperament. If we must find something in common among them, it would be - they sound good.
At this moment, the rhythm of the piano sound in the hall is full of joy and magic. The unexpected rhythms and decorative sounds that suddenly appear from time to time, the simple melody and the instant changes, all express the joy of singing, laughing and dancing.
"Gypsy song and dance." Cai Song's tone could not be said to be critical, but it gave people a sense of conviction.
Xia Shu believed it, "That's it."
But her words had just fallen.
"Sorry, I think you made a mistake."
Qin Jian's words were obviously not directed at Xia Shu,
He had always thought that Gypsy music represented Hungarian folk music, but at about 56% of the reading progress bar of Chris' Intermediate Piano Guide, he saw related record descriptions.
And he thinks it is correct, "Gypsy music is not real Hungarian folk music. For Liszt, this set of works, which has been created for 40 years, is more like the meaning of Chopin's creation of Mazurka, which is to maintain the
A bond with the motherland.”
Caisson felt that the liquid in the wine glass in his hand had frozen. After staying in Budapest for four years, he was sure that he knew Liszt and Hungarian national music better than the other party.
Even the person playing the piano now is his classmate at the Budapest Conservatory of Music.
So the other person's point of view is nothing more than serious nonsense to him, "Are you sure you are serious?"
Qin Jian nodded matter-of-factly, "Liszt mentioned this in an article titled "Gypsies and Music in Hungary" published in 1876."
"He said - I can recall my boyhood from the life and work of the Gypsies. Weaving these bits and pieces into this set of rhapsody is how I express my deep feelings as a Hungarian."
After saying that, he looked at the two people with their hands spread out and said, "That's it."
"That's it!" Repeater Natsuki.
Cai Song didn't know what to say for a moment. He decided to ask his old classmates later.
The three of them stopped talking and continued to quietly enjoy the style of "Hungarian national music".
C-sharp minor, No. 2, stretching and wild, typical Hungarian csardas folk dance music.
As soon as the woman in front of the piano lowered her hands, the rhythm of the melody became faster and faster, and a series of interspersed variations pushed the music to a climax.
The final passage makes full use of Liszt's habitual and difficult technique of octave and register jumping with both hands.
Finally, the whole melody ends in a joyful gypsy melody.
"When~~"
As the sound faded away, the figure in front of the piano stood up.
Under the applause and cheers of young people from various music schools, she bowed lightly.
This made Qin Jian even more anxious. From the beginning to now, he has never seen the other party's appearance.
It's not that he had any other special ideas, he simply wanted to see what kind of person was playing the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 just now.
At this moment, the woman turned around and bowed to the audience behind her.
"I see."
The green pupils brought a touch of wildness to the woman's narrow facial features.
Qin Jian felt comfortable.
But he didn't understand the next scene.
As the applause ended, he felt the woman's eyes locked on him, and then she walked towards him with a smile.
"No way?" Qin Jian secretly swore in his heart that he had never been in contact with the other party.
Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, Cai Song on the side opened his arms and stepped forward to greet the approaching woman: "Sura." There was a string of jabbering words behind it, and Qin Jian couldn't understand it.
Natsuki: Ah...
Qin Jian:...
In front of Qin Jian Xia Shu, the two rubbed their faces, and then Cai Song let go of the woman and introduced the two of them.
"Sulla, my college classmate, Hungarian."
Qin Jian's doubts were cleared.
Then Cai Song introduced Qin Jian to Sulla.
Su La politely shook hands with each other, but when it came to Qin Jian, she said a few words to Cai Song.
Cai Song translated: "Sulla said that he knew you and that he liked your performance of Mozart very much."
"thank you."
Qin Jian clasped his hands together and said, "You play Liszt very well."
While compliments were exchanged on one side, the piano played again on the other side.
Natsuki: "Mazurka No. 2."
As soon as the music started, the four of them couldn't help but look at it again.
Sulla: "."
...
Like a relay, after Sulla's performance of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, Chopin's Mazurka came on stage again.
The performer is a young man with a flat head.
His playing is clear and tranquil, and his beautiful hazy melody makes people walk on the country roads of Poland.
The mazurka is the most Polish genre among all Chopin's creations.
The youth's performance has varied accents and strong intensity, which is different from the mazurka performance that Qin Jian often heard in China.
Different from the rigidity of ordinary academic performances, his overall melody and harmony are handled very concisely.
Still couldn't see the other party's appearance, but Cai Song translated Sulla's words. The performer at this time was a doctoral student in piano at the Warsaw University of Music, and won third place in last year's Norwegian Piano Competition.
Although it is not an international competition, third place is pretty good. There are few young people standing in this hall who have not won several awards.
When the song ended, the applause started again.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to be completely ignited. One after another young people from major international schools bravely sat down in front of the piano under applause and sang one song after another.
What’s interesting is that it seems that after Sula started, everyone played the national music works of their own country, which somewhat hinted at the theme of this conference.
From the romantic French Debussy to the German and Austrian Bruckner, from Finland's Sibelius to Norway's Linnemann.
Competing to perform.
Although there is no smell of gunpowder, there is always a smell of secret competition.
Since it is such an occasion, music academies from different countries naturally represent their own countries.
Here, a person from the Tokyo National Conservatory of Music, who could not tell whether he was a teacher or a student, had just finished performing an enka-style piece of music.
