Chapter 1306 Cultural Differences(1/2)

Bach's Unaccompanied Violin Suite in E major contains seven pieces, all of which are short and concise. The first two pieces are three to four minutes long, and the last few pieces are just over a minute or two minutes. There is not much difference between different performers.

The first is the Prelude and Allegro. The piece fully demonstrates Bach's talent and requires complex and exquisite skills. It is almost recognized as the highest peak of violin works in the history of music.

Hillary's performance was still impeccable, and the audience was still intoxicated. Even the accompanist seemed to have forgotten his dangerous situation.

Encores often get the loudest applause, and today it was like this. As soon as the song ended, the hundreds of audience members gave it all their energy, seeming to show that they also have great fan talent.

Hillary was of course a performer who no longer cared about applause. After putting down her bow, she looked at the accompanist with an expression that sounded provocative but also encouraging.

What should we do? Yang Jingxing looked at the keyboard and was having trouble. Oops, someone finally had some sympathy. The academic director came on stage with a cup of tea in his left hand and a stool in his right hand, and placed it next to the accompanist.

Yang Jingxing thanked Pu Yin for this kind gesture but did not drink tea because the situation was too suspicious. Not only did no one in the audience despise and condemn the academic director's elbow removal, there were also many people who praised it.

His expression suggested that this might be a scam and he had to be careful. Yang Jingxing had better start playing the piano quickly, otherwise he might be forced to drink tea.

The accompanist's playing was obviously different this time. He made full use of the expressive power of the piano from the beginning and no longer had that unconventional approach.

The change in the audience's expressions showed that they quickly realized that the lecturer did not simulate the performance this time. After listening for a while, some people began to confirm that the lecturer was really playing the arrangement this time. If you continue to listen, you should still

Some people can tell that the lecturer's performance skills are limited to the Baroque period, and more experts should judge that the lecturer's arrangement method is limited to Bach, although Bach seems to have no limitations.

Yang Jingxing played the song for more than three minutes, but it lasted less than two minutes. Next, Grafman stood up. Although the audience was very focused on the music, they were still distracted by the actions of the top experts. Grafman frowned.

His stoic gaze seemed to be ready to fire at any time. Grafman had such charisma that the Taiwanese teachers also stood up, and then more teachers and students responded.

Yang Jingxing's intention in adapting this time is completely opposite to the previous two. He is trying to restore the musical image, but it has basically no connection with the violin performance, at least not so directly. Something that is originally very subtle has an extra layer or even

Of course, it was harder to understand after changing the form. But Hillary was not angry. She was still very engaged in listening, and she even leaned forward towards the piano.

When the last note fell, the lecturer smiled at the audience. Although two-thirds of the audience were standing, not many people actually stood up in advance, because nearly half of them had no seats. Maybe this is the so-called independent thinking.

, if in Puyin, even the principal would not dare to neglect Li Yingzhen if she stood up. Of course, no one would make Li Yingzhen stand up in the middle.

Hillary seemed to have just noticed that many people below had stood up, so she stood up too. Immediately afterwards there was a small exclamation in the concert hall, because Hillary stood up and applauded, as if she had forgotten that the piano was still sleeping on her lap.

This famous piano was much more expensive than a Steinway grand piano, and it fell from the performer's lap.

The audience exclaimed, followed by a louder exclamation. The accompanist grabbed the violin by the neck and caught it, only a few centimeters off the ground. The accompanist's butt left the foot of the stool but remained in place, with his upper body

His arms and arms were almost touching the floor. His posture was almost like peeking under a violinist's skirt. Fortunately, Hillary was wearing a long skirt.

The applause stopped, and the audience looked up. Some people began to sigh with joy, while many others were still nervous and afraid of patting their chests.

Yang Jingxing stood up, holding the piano in both hands and handing it to the performer in a clear-cut manner. Hilary, who only grabbed the bow, looked at his piano with a guilty look in his eyes, and took it carefully before looking at the accompanist again.

There was still lingering fear in his eyes, as if he was doubting whether the accompanist had caught it or not.

Yang Jingxing: "This is probably the most valuable thing I did today."

Hillary finally came back to her senses and sighed: "Thank you..."

The applause started again and quickly became enthusiastic. Judging from the audience's appearance, it seemed that they were celebrating that the violin was safe and sound. Of course, it was said that the accompanist also deserved credit, and even those who shouted for the encore began to look good.

Yang Jingxing came closer and talked to the violinist: "Your performance inspired me. Of course, I made some adjustments according to my personal taste."

The audience fell silent before Hilary nodded, but we couldn't let that guy take advantage of it. Now that it was quiet, Hilary thoughtfully said to the accompanist: "I feel... something, I'll try my best."

.”

But Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No, it's not necessary now, just think of it as a kind of relaxation. Maybe we can feel something later, that's better. Now let's continue with the next step."

Hillary hesitated and nodded: "That might be better."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Okay."

The audience applauded again because it was Hillary's turn to perform next.

There were six more songs, Hillary played one and Yang Jingxing played another. Yang Jingxing could not come up with any new tricks, they were all the same arrangements as the first song, and the audience was no longer surprised. Neither of them stood up after the two songs.

Applause. Hilary's condition is getting better and better. Later on, it feels like her whole body is flying, and her performance is indeed more exciting than in the album.

Of course the audience was happy, and even with such intense applause, they could give their best every time. Grafman seemed to be more focused on the piano. After listening to the piano, he clapped his hands even more, seeming to spare no effort in his old age, and his expression was more academic and serious.

Kushnir didn’t seem to be a petty person. He didn’t stop applauding the piano because of Grafman’s differential treatment. He basically treated everyone equally.

In the last jig, Hillary really danced while playing, completely forgetting herself. The audience didn't know whether to pay more attention to their ears or their eyes. The violinist's strings seemed to

It was already burning, and the tone was full of extraordinary charm, but Hillary's dancing was even more rare, and Kushnir was stunned.

After playing the song, Hillary closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm applause. She still maintained some dance lines. She really felt very good about herself. The audience really liked the performer's narcissism. This is called an artist, not like that

The accompanist doesn't look like he loves music at all.

When the applause almost stopped, Hillary woke up from her self-consciousness, then looked at the accompanist, she seemed a little embarrassed, and smiled.

What time is it now? He Peiyuan is about to get up, and Yang Jingxing quickly starts playing.

It was the last song, and Hillary was too polite to sit down. She just stood next to the piano and watched and listened.

Okay, when the work was done, Yang Jingxing stood up while fingering the last note, and stretched out his hand towards the violinist.

The encore started shouting before the applause started, and the experienced audience immediately showed the momentum of working together.

Hillary stopped shaking hands with the accompanist to see what his attitude was.

Yang Jingxing smiled dryly and plucked up the courage to bargain with the audience loudly: "The last song."

The audience first cheered for the stage victory.

Yang Jingxing almost urged the violinist: "What do you want to play?"

Hillary needs to think about it.

The violinist seemed to have no ideas, and the audience began to make suggestions. Of course, the suggestions were all the performer's specialty, Mozart's sonatas, or Bach, Paganini, Schumann, and some people wanted to listen to something not so old...

Hillary smiled and thanked the audience for the suggestion. She seemed to be considering her choice, but she might have difficulty choosing. Then she looked at the accompanist.

Yang Jingxing also suggested: "What about Corelli? I think you almost reshaped his work."

Hillary thought for a while, but shook her head, and then she seemed a little anxious herself: "Excuse me... I think I may be too excited."

"It doesn't matter." Yang Jingxing said, "Me too."

The audience began to quiet down so as not to disturb the discussion between the two people on stage, but this silence made Hillary even more anxious. She almost hugged the piano in her arms and took a deep breath, then looked at the accompanist in embarrassment: "I don't know why.

, but I want to play Tchaikovsky.”

Does Tchaikovsky have any violin solo works? Yang Jingxing doesn’t know.

Hillary's eyes were straight again and she was almost tough: "I want to play the Concerto in D major, right now!" Fortunately, she dared to speak. For the concerto, she had to appoint an accompanist. Could Diao Nan be more aggressive?

However, it is not difficult to practice piano accompaniment to the concerto. Yang Jingxing still nodded: "Okay, what movement is it?"

Hillary didn't hesitate now: "Three!"

Not bad, not bad, Yang Jingxing was simply happy: "Okay, please."

Hilary let go of the piano in her arms and looked at the accompanist who solemnly explained to everyone: "I want you to accompany us just like the first song we collaborated on, not as an accompaniment, but as an ensemble! I want to feel that different feeling again.

Unbridled enthusiasm!" She probably also realized that there were only two pianists who could play with her like this, and the one in front of her was free.

Even with the crowd pressing, Yang Jingxing still had to nod: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Hillary still said something nice: "Thank you so much!" Her expression was a bit like He Peiyuan's angry look after eating chili.

The audience cheered up and clapped again, but many people were obviously tired of standing, so they might as well quickly get a chair and sit down to listen.

The third movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major begins with orchestral unison. Hilary is already ready. Yang Jingxing, who is looking at his hands, is sitting in front of the piano and thinking about something. The audience doesn't rush them, they all watch quietly.

.

Unable to drag out the savior, Yang Jingxing raised his hands and smashed it down. It was barely enough, which shocked many people so much that they blinked. Hillary was not shocked, and she set up her bow and got ready to go. The audience could almost see this.

The violinist has accumulated so much energy and is ready to burst out.

After the orchestra's prelude, it was time for the violin solo to come on stage, and Hillary's first bow was extraordinary. Some music critics and music fans once thought that Hillary was too tough and less gentle when playing Bach or Mozart. If they were allowed to

After hearing the performer's performance today, I would probably give Hillary an unpleasant nickname such as "Iron Princess". In fact, Hillary's performance cannot be described as tough, but it can be said that there is a softness and a softness to it.

Bingji doesn't seem appropriate either. A more accurate description would be that her performance is sometimes like a gentle and elegant armored warrior.

But today, it was just for fun anyway. Hillary was not so gentle and elegant. She felt more like an armored warrior who painted girlish and romantic patterns on his armor, then decorated it with roses and went to charge into battle, but there was no blood.

Fighting may be a romantic fantasy battle.

It's not easy to be an accompanist. You play strings sometimes, then you play wind instruments, and sometimes you have to work full-time. You can't just do it half-heartedly. You have to be enthusiastic and unrestrained. This piece is the performer's specialty, and the accompaniment

Members were sometimes almost dragged away by the violin.

The original movement is a lively Allegro, which usually requires intense intensity. Hillary, who returned to her alma mater, was almost crazy when it was time to be intense. Not only did she forget herself, she almost forgot about the world, and only music existed. Especially the original movement

The song is an extremely exciting chapter in which the orchestra and the violin alternately advance. Hillary is so full of energy that one wonders if she is going to cut off her beloved violin. Yang Jingxing cooperates with the violin's volcanic eruption of enthusiasm.

I was so busy that I tried my best to do everything, and I almost had the temperament and image of someone who loves music.

The audience didn't care whether the performer lived or died. They were happy to hear and watch. Many people became excited with the music. Not only did their expressions become more and more excited, but their heights also generally increased.

The music ended in a climax. When it entered the final climax, the violinist had moved to the position next to the piano and performed condescendingly and oppressively to show off his skills. The poor accompanist was so frightened that he did not dare to raise his head and exert himself.

I'm almost done working on the keyboard, but I don't want to make any mistakes and waste all my efforts.

The music finally came to an end. Everyone present knew this by heart and could not mistake it. So when the violin stopped and the pianist struck the last row of chords, the audience almost stood up and started applauding.

Embarrassing, I had to suppress the applause as soon as it started, because before Hillary had finished, she started again, probably a cadenza. The audience who had already stood up simply stood and listened, and could still see the performer's selfless style.
To be continued...
