Chapter 1304 Strength Idol
Geniuses like Curtis seem to have realized that this Sunday was not wasted. They caught up with Hilary Cole's live performance, and it was a free live venue with VIP treatment. The eyes looking at the stage were so surprised that they couldn't believe it.
Without blinking, I didn't want to miss every tiny movement of this truly "once-in-a-century violin genius" in front of me.
After Hillary took up her posture, she paused for a moment. She was still thinking about something for several seconds before she started to move her bow. Although there was no program list, most of the audience raised their eyebrows and raised their lips in surprise and praise as soon as the performer started. Bach was speechless.
Accompanying the first movement of the third violin sonata, Hilary's strong point is that she has a blessed ear. The accompanist is also happy, he just needs to sit quietly and not disturb the soloist.
The slow movement does not require any professional skills test from the score. Hillary also played it easily but it was more immersive than the previous piece.
The audience in the audience was already intoxicated. Their eyes were sincere, enthusiastic, envious, infatuated and even admirable. Even Kushnir was intoxicated. As expected of his alma mater, all the teachers and students became fans of Hillary's music, or stood still.
There were nearly a hundred people sitting there, which simply showed a beautiful artistic atmosphere of tacit understanding and friendship. There was a real difference between closeness and distance. In the previous lectures, some people were either shocked or doubtful, or they were restless or at a loss, or even refused to admit or accept it.
I have never given lecturers such peace and order as now.
However, we cannot accuse the teachers and students of putting on a show, and the expressions of those who are more music fans than music fans are not false, although there is actually not much difference between the talents and skills of these people and the performers, maybe only two or three steps away.
Yes, but it is these people who have a clearer understanding of those two or three steps. They deeply understand how difficult, how worthwhile, how wonderful, how glorious, and how brilliant these two steps are.
Hilary's performance was truly second to none, and her playing skills were perfect, which made the accompanists take a second look. It is conceivable that with Hilary's level, it is difficult to get much meaningful professional advice from professors or colleagues, so I must be included in the threesome.
Teacher’s words basically don’t apply anymore. Maybe that’s what it means to be cold at a high place, and you can only rely on yourself.
In fact, Hillary has already stood high enough and there is no need to climb up. Even among the geniuses present today, many of them would imagine that they would be satisfied with half of her achievements and fame, and it has long been common among ordinary listeners.
I think she is impeccable. But people are often dissatisfied. It is often said that the richer people are, the more they like money. Perhaps the better performers are, the more greedy they are.
The four- to five-minute movement was a superb performance compared to the albums released a few years ago. After the movement ended, she put down her piano and bow and looked at the accompanist.
Yes, this is not a concert. The audience came back from their intoxication and wanted to applaud between movements but were too late. However, they could still do something for the alumni, which was to watch the accompanist with Hillary. There were so many
The accompanist dared to be disrespectful in any way.
The accompanist nodded to the performer politely: "Continue."
That's enough. The audience returned their attention to the performer, and their expressions became much gentler and entered a state of appreciation. Hillary didn't say anything and let the beautiful melody flow out immediately.
The second movement only lasted for more than ten minutes. The performer's plane was probably choked, but no one reminded her, and the audience was completely selfless. Hillary was dedicated and was ready to start the third movement immediately after the second movement.
"Okay, okay." Yang Jingxing was so brave that he stopped again.
Hillary looked at the accompanist again, her eyes slightly puzzled. The audience's eyes were not puzzled, their eyes became sharp.
The situation in the concert hall still made Yang Jingxing think about it. He didn't dare to speak out loud, and he didn't even dare to look at the performer and the audience with her. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his hand and started playing the piano.
There was no one waiting around in the concert hall. Almost everyone immediately recognized that the accompanist was playing the piece just now, and the audience was stunned.
It’s not that no one has ever tried to adapt Bach’s unaccompanied string music into piano music, it’s just that there are very few people who have the courage to take on such a challenge, and even fewer people who have successfully done so have been widely recognized.
Bach's unaccompanied violin works are fundamentally different from Paganini's works, and the musical image and connotation pursued by the two are even more different. Paganini did make a big step forward in violin playing technology, but it was just that
Staying at that level, and those endless dazzling skills are quite suitable for change. Bach is different. The reason why his works are called the bible of violinists is not because of the technical difficulty of playing, but because these works have been nourishing
As for the art of music, it is said that musicians of different eras can always get new inspiration from it. Great composers such as Mendelssohn and Schumann once tried to provide piano accompaniment to these works of Bach, but the result almost became their
Jokes and jokes.
Yang Jingxing, a child with a yellow mouth, is very courageous. In addition to being surprised, there were also some secret joy in the audience, because they could finally watch a joke.
At first it sounds like Yang Jingxing's changes are very faithful to the original work, with note-to-note rhythm to rhythm, and no bass harmony or anything like that. However, the violin is a fretted instrument and the piano is a percussion instrument, one line and one particle. If the original work is copied,
The score will make the music completely lose the expressiveness of the violin and fail to bring out the characteristics of the piano. Anyone can do this kind of adaptation, but no one will succeed.
Instead, the audience listened more carefully, with eyes filled with anticipation. It seems that the professional book on screenwriting that He Peiyuan read said that a major feature of comedy is misery, and that was right. People just liked to hear it.
Yang Jingxing seemed to realize that there was a problem, but even if he had ten fingers on one hand, he couldn't play the vibrato overtones of the violin on the piano. He still had to adapt it. But what the accompanist did this time was not to change the music, but to perform an arrangement.
When the lecturer on the stage who was commenting on the major piano masters an hour ago used triplets for the first time to try to express the violin note duration lines in the original music, some audience members almost burst into laughter. It was too much.
It's just child's play.
When the lecturer then played a quadruplet, no one laughed, and more people began to raise their eyebrows and frown. Hillary, who was originally geared towards caring for the audience, also turned to the piano more often.
Next, there was even a quintuplet and a quintuplet. The accompanist showed precise tone rhythm control and pedal use, but still could not save the musical image. It was really weird, just like the crazy school. But by this time, no one was laughing at the musical image.
The expressions of novelty and surprise on the faces of the professors seemed to be even better than when they listened to the lecture before. Of course, the students followed the professors.
Many violin teachers often use the piano to teach students. They can lead the students in the form of accompaniment and use the grainy feel of the piano to train the students to play clear notes. Another important reason is that the piano is convenient and easy to control. Because the teacher has
The students' requirements often exceed the teacher's own level, or the teacher's actual operation cannot keep up with his theoretical knowledge. In this case, the teacher can only teach by mouth and it is difficult to demonstrate. The piano can be a better assistant than teaching musical instruments.
effect.
Yang Jingxing had never taught violin students before and had zero experience. He didn't know what to say. He could only use precise fingering and pedals to demonstrate his theoretical knowledge on the piano. But after all, they were two different instruments, and the music was not the same.
The language is so direct, which requires students to have strong listening and comprehension skills.
In the piano playing that has distorted the image and even made people feel strange and strange, I don’t know how many people can feel the subtle rhythm shown in the rapid legato. And the lecturer will also have many tricks, tremolo
, vibrato, beat, pause, echo, these techniques that are usually only regarded as minor spices in piano performance are now almost regarded as staple food by lecturers, and not only are they large and intensive, lecturers also use these techniques towards
Extremely advanced, the tremolo is so fast that it almost loses its graininess but contains volume changes, and then there are rapid alternations of staccato vibrato that challenge the mechanical performance of the piano...
It sounds like the violinist's bible has been adapted by the accompanist into a vicious but meaningless etude. Not only does the piece lack beauty and lose its musical image, but the technique of transcending limits seems to be divorced from the music itself.
In fact, what the accompanist wants to show at this time is the musical image rather than the performance skills. However, not many people in the concert hall can hear the musical image from the crazy notes of the piano, or even if they hear something, it is difficult to compare with the violin sonata.
Make a connection, because intuitively they are very different.
Many students were confused and even angry. They could only ask teachers and professors for help while closely monitoring the lecturers, or they could place their hope in Hillary on the stage, whose eyes were eager for Curtis to stop the lecturers from continuing to act wildly.
Then the leadership experts were so engrossed in watching what was new, and Hillary also focused on the piano.
Fortunately, the lecturer was not completely crazy. After playing the first movement, he turned to Hillary and asked: "Is this okay?"
The audience's attention immediately shifted from the lecturer to the famous alumni, and their eyes all turned into ardent expectations and encouragement. Many people even looked anxious and worried.
Big stars are different. Hillary's expression was still calm. She observed the accompanist's caution in words and deeds: "...This is so sudden and shocking. I never thought it would be like this."
Yang Jingxing laughed: "What do you think now?"
In full view of everyone, Hillary still looked uncertain after hesitating for a while: "I think...this is probably what I want."
The audience was silent, almost sad. The teachers were better. Students are always students, and they gave Hillary a look of support.
Yang Jingxing was beaming with such a big star's favor: "Okay, let's try the second movement. Can someone give Miss Cole a chair? Thank you."
The two boys sitting in the front row stood up at the same time, almost fighting for the chance to get close to the big star.
Hilary took the chair with a bow in one hand and thanked her. She sat down gently in the piano ensemble position, looking suspicious.
Yang Jingxing was also pretending, making sure the big star was seated before starting again.
"Wait, wait!" Hillary's energy suddenly increased, and it looked like she was about to make a major decision.
It is very likely that it is a reversal, and the audience is expecting joy and excitement again.
Hillary stood up slowly, placed the piano on her collarbone with gentle movements, put her chin on the chin rest, stared at the fingerboard with her blue eyes, and drew an arc in the air with the bow of her right hand and placed it on the piano.
Today's most outstanding young violinists already exude a temperament, which can also be said to be an aura or aura. This aura is composed of the performer's appearance, name, skills, achievements, reputation, qualifications and other factors. Which one can you see?
The boy who got up the chair and returned to his seat was reluctant to sit down.
After successfully making the entire audience watch with bated breath, Hillary began to move the bow.
The performer performed the same movement twice less than 20 minutes apart. I believe that most professional ears at the scene can hear the subtle but clear differences. In fact, there is no improvement in the performance technique, nor is it a correction.
What little details, but a change in the image of the music, an overall and very subtle change.
This kind of change made by the performer is too extreme. If it is only for this piece of music, it is actually meaningless to most listeners. Even most people at the scene cannot understand the performer's change in a short period of time.
Make academic judgments based on subtle changes, and anyone can say emotional things, and they can say all kinds of weird things.
No matter what, after listening to less than half of the song, the audience turned to the performer with admiration. They all knew how impossible it was to suddenly make reasonable changes to what they were best at, not to mention the sound of Hillary's changes.
It doesn't seem rushed or immature, it seems like she just has two perfect versions in reserve.
Hillary played very seriously and kept gazing at the fretboard lovingly. When the movement was over, she was still gazing at the fretboard without putting down her bow.
The leading professors were the first to applaud, and their expressions spoke volumes. This is Curtis’ pride. The young and strong students applauded fiercely, their expressions saying that this is their idol, this is their talent, and this is their strength.
Yang Jingxing had to be convinced and applauded.
The applause lasted almost half a minute, and Hillary finally put down her dick, looked at the accompanist, and smiled.
Yang Jingxing laughed.
The applause basically stopped. Hillary continued to look at the accompanist and asked uneasily: "Did you do this?"
Yang Jingxing nodded happily: "It's very close."
Hillary smiled, looked at the piano keyboard, and then at the accompanist.
Yang Jingxing asked: "Continue?"
Hillary nodded vigorously: "Please, thank you."
Yang Jingxing also asked, please sit down: "I won't play the whole movement, but try some details to see if you can understand it."
Chapter completed!
