When it comes to practical demonstrations, of course they have to be covered up in practice.
Li Jinglin called in today’s piano accompanist—Lang Lang.
"Lao Li, I have become transparent."
Langlang opened his mouth and was struck by lightning.
"Don't talk."
Li Jinglin naturally knew that this was just a casual joke.
In fact, these reporters conducted quite a few interviews with Lang Lang.
It's just that today's protagonist is not Langlang, everyone is sensible.
"Can you play the accompaniment of "The Deserted Dido"?"
"Won't."
"Here, I'll give you the music score. Even if you don't know how to do it, you have to know how to do it."
Li Jinglin handed Langlang the score.
"ah?"
"."
Langlang's eyes widened and he realized that Li Jinglin didn't seem to be joking.
Dang even scratched his head.
I spread out the sheet music and read it several times.
Immediately, Li Jinglin took him to the side of the stage, next to a harpsichord.
"Harpsichord? This is."
Langlang raised his eyebrows.
He immediately understood what Li Jinglin meant.
Generally speaking, the harpsichord is rarely used in modern music.
The use of this instrument is to seek the taste of the Baroque period, or to give the Baroque period the same brilliant and gorgeous music style, or religious texture.
Coupled with what Li Jinglin said about "The Abandoned Dido", it is naturally easy to understand.
Li Jinglin wanted to recreate the music style of the Baroque period.
"Everyone."
Li Jinglin clapped his hands.
Take out the violin.
Immediately, the musicians gathered around.
Listen quietly to Li Jinglin's performance demonstration.
soon.
The sounds of violins and harpsichords accompanied it.
Although Lang Lang had not practiced this piece carefully, he had heard it as a famous piece and was very familiar with it.
The accompaniment score is not difficult, you can follow it directly after reading it once.
With Li Jinglin taking him along, Langlang felt as if he had fallen into a magical scene.
It was as if I could see the holy light shining in the church. The bronze statue of the Archangel was slowly falling with a few feathers in the curtain of holy light.
All the musicians.
It seems that we can see the story wrapped in the color of myth.
"The Abandoned Dido"
This lament.
It is music adapted from the content of the epic poem "Aeneid" by the ancient Roman poet.
It is a mythical story about Dido, Queen of Carthage, who was abandoned by Trojan Prince Aeneas in the name of God.
There is sadness, loss, and sadness in the music.
The sailors sang songs and danced, the witches gloated, but Dido, abandoned and humiliated, committed suicide singing a dirge.
in this song.
If you look at it from the perspective of the Baroque period.
It is a different interpretation from modern times.
When expressing, it is necessary to have different styles.
Therefore, in Li Jinglin's performance that reproduces the musical characteristics of the Baroque period, he did not elaborate on the story from the perspective of modern people. Instead, in the brilliant and gorgeous Baroque performance style, the emotion of "sadness" was highlighted. Sense of holiness”.
The musicians were suddenly enlightened.
When others express this piece of music, they often emphasize the story, narrative, emotion, and singing.
It is often difficult to notice a rendered aesthetic expression.
Li Jinglin just added this "sense of holiness" with religious meaning, making this piece seem to have come alive from the Baroque era.
Let’s not talk about what is right or wrong about the content of the music, let alone what the three views are.
This extra "sense of holiness" is the source of vitality, and this "sense of holiness" requires the artist himself to be able to feel the aesthetic experience of the Baroque era.
It is not difficult to understand the beauty of the Baroque, but it is not easy to feel the aesthetic experience of the Baroque era.
In that kind of religious, social, and humanistic atmosphere, what kind of "beauty threshold" should there be, and how should we feel that kind of beauty?
"Li, he is indeed the strongest violinist."
Situen's face had the word "service" written in capital letters.
He looked very excited.
This trip was obviously not in vain!
The faces of the surrounding musicians were filled with smiles.
This is really great.
Who would have thought that when you come to a concert, you can also take a master class for free?
"Lee! I want to invite you to my hometown, Brussels, Belgium!"
"Li, if you come to Spain, you must find me!"
"Oh, Lee, I'll wait for you in St. Petersburg!"
The musicians couldn't help but started inviting Li Jinglin one after another.
Such an artist.
Who doesn’t want to invite them to their own country for some cultural exchanges?
"Ha ha!"
Look at these musicians.
Henrik couldn't help but smile.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, Li will definitely come to Paris.
"Okay, let's give the reporters some space."
"Haha! Same thing."
"Li, then you can accept the interview, we won't disturb you anymore."
"However, Li, if you have time, you must seriously consider the invitation. We invite you very sincerely."
Li Jinglin smiled.
Shake hands with the musicians one by one.
"If I have time, definitely."
"Thank you thank you."
"Thank you all so much for coming."
After bidding farewell to Li Jinglin.
The musicians hurriedly left the concert hall.
Li Jinglin's statement that "the threshold for experiencing beauty becomes higher, so the experience of aesthetics will become poorer" is really to the point.
It can very well summarize the reasons why music is gradually losing its vitality nowadays.
But if you have this understanding.
There are ways for these artists to develop further from this.
In the field of aesthetics, there is the "theory of subjective-objective relationship".
That is, "Beauty lies neither objectively nor subjectively, but in the combination of the two."
Absence also means presence.
The so-called "degradation of aesthetics" is actually, from another perspective, it is better to say that it is "an increase in the threshold of beauty experience."
For the receiving party, this is actually an objective issue.
So, now that we know what the problem is, we just need to move from the objective to the subjective.
Take the initiative to recognize, in the ordinary world, from the most ordinary perspective, to discover some beauty that has been ignored in the past.
Then, from it, we can dig out the ugly imperfections on the opposite side of beauty, on the back side of society, in the dark corners.
Then sew and mend.
With Li Jinglin's remarks, these artists really don't want to waste a moment, they just want to go back to think, to be enlightened, and to take a step further on the road of music.
It’s not just the musicians.
Li Jinglin's two apprentices.
He couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The reporters who were very touched by what Li Jinglin said finally gathered around.
"plum!"
The reporters were very excited.
“So, is this how you think about culture, about art?”
"Is this why music or art can have an impact on the world?"
"um, yes."
Li Jinglin nodded with a smile.
He glanced at everyone present.
Jin Zunxi had already slipped away as soon as the concert was over.
But Li Jinglin felt that whether he could slip away did not depend on him, but on himself.
"We must face up to culture and art, and do not belittle it, but let alone deify it. When we discover ordinary beauty, we must also discover ugliness, and make up for the shortcomings in this aesthetic to create beauty."
"Jin Zunxi is actually very good at this point. He can look directly at the truth of culture and dare to say no to thieves."
Speaking of which.
Li Jinglin couldn't help but spread his hands.
"It's just that when he put it into practice, he faced the evil cultural thieves in his country. The pressure and confusion caused problems in his performance."
"But I believe he will overcome it."
Bang bang bang! !
The reporters were in awe and couldn't help but applaud Li Jinglin.
And heard this sentence.
Xu Xin and Liu Chenyang, who were deep in thought, couldn't help but raise their heads.
His eyelids started to twitch wildly.
Okay, Brother Lin is Brother Lin, can you show off in this situation?
6
As long as I can learn one-tenth of Brother Lin's skills, I can play dirty tricks openly and openly in the future.
The concert ended perfectly.
Li Jinglin received invitations from quite a few people.
The invitations from these people are very precious treasures.
Don’t look at it as just a musician.
But in fact, once exchanges truly begin, focusing on culture and art, mutual connections can drive cooperation in all walks of life.
For example, a few days later, Li Jinglin and Henrik's dinner party will be attended by the sponsor of the concert, France's Balenciaga, the domestic manufacturer Warwick, which is recently negotiating with Li Jinglin for endorsement.
As well as the school authorities on both sides, as well as some important leaders in the arts from both sides.
Have a private banquet to discuss more possibilities for cooperation.
End the concert.
It's getting late too.
There was no celebration banquet or anything like that in the past.
This is just the beginning after all.
There are still many things that need to be put on track after that. It is better to wait until the dust settles on these events to start the celebration party.
In the process of going back to school.
Li Jinglin was chatting with Xu Xin and Liu Chenyang about his feelings today.
"Speaking of which, Liu Chenyang, the paper I assigned you before was "From French Couperin Keyboard Music, a Brief Discussion of the Baroque Period, the Birth of Rococo Music, and its Impact on Later Classicism," right?"
"right!"
Liu Chenyang nodded.
This paper is also a topic based on the joint education with the National University of Paris.
Just some time ago, the proposal report was completed.
At this time, I have just entered into the writing of the main text of the paper.
"I listen to you, Brother Lin. I just bought "Baroque Music" by John Walter Hill and "Music of the Baroque Period, from Monteverdi to Bach" by Manfred Bukovtze. As a reference work.”
"Um."
Li Jinglin nodded.
"I have written a paper on "Rococo Music from the Perspective of French Culture in the 18th Century" before. You can use it as a reference."
"okay!"
Liu Chenyang looked happy.
This is the benefit of having a fierce mentor.
His hard-core papers can give you the greatest support.
You only need to write in the paper "The famous Chinese violinist Li Jinglin once said", then it really has been said.
"Do you have a general idea?"
"I've already written part of it, including some of my opinions."
Liu Chenyang nodded.
"Give me Kangkang."
Hearing Brother Lin's request, Liu Chenyang did not hesitate.
Turn on your phone immediately.
I sent a little bit of what I had written before to Li Jinglin.
I even sighed in my heart.
Brother Lin is really a good and responsible teacher, and he will take the initiative to pay attention to it in the early stage.
You know, many master tutors are very busy people.
Such a caring instructor is like putting food in your mouth.
"Um"
Li Jinglin looked at it carefully.
Didn't say anything.
"How's it going? Brother Lin?"
Liu Chenyang felt that he still had a lot of ideas.
Actually.
There is a lot of Liu Chenyang's own understanding in what he wrote.
This is actually a very good thing, at least it is not a Chinese-Chinese translation of the paper.
Moreover, Liu Chenyang felt that he did have some new ideas and they were very academically valuable.
"Forehead"
After hearing what Liu Chenyang said, Li Jinglin immediately scratched his head.
This paper cannot be said to be very good, it can only be said to be stupid.
Of course, this is not a matter of accumulation of basic knowledge.
Rather
"What was your score in the Chinese language test? Did you not write the essay?"
Li Jinglin looked complicated.
"Pfft."
Xu Xin almost laughed.
But I still held back.
For people who are not majoring in liberal arts, choosing words and sentences in papers is really a big difficulty.
I'm sure I can explain it clearly, but when I write it, it's a mess and I don't know how to express it.
Especially papers on art and culture are even more difficult to express accurately.
"Besides, your opinions and thoughts are quite interesting, but too immature."
Li Jinglin scratched his head again.
Although I couldn't bear to attack Liu Chenyang.
But this time, it is impossible not to attack.
after all.
This is my own student.
Is the paper just "qualified"?
This is not okay.
"oh"
Liu Chenyang's eyes darkened.
It was obviously a bit of a shock.
Li Jinglin looked at Liu Chenyang and felt that he needed comfort.
So, he patted Liu Chenyang on the shoulder.
"It's fine."
Li Jinglin smiled.
Just when Liu Chenyang's slight disappointment had disappeared, he spoke.
"You don't pose any threat to the academic world."
"??"
Liu Chenyang felt like he was struck by lightning.
Tell the truth.
Brother Lin feels that he is young, which is normal.
Although I was slightly disappointed, it was really only for a short period of time, and I didn't even need to adjust my mentality.
No need for any comfort at all.
Don't know why.
Brother Lin was so comforting.
Instead, Liu Chenyang felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
"ha"
Xu Xin almost couldn't help laughing again.
But I still held it in.
I never expected that the scene where the instructor angrily scolded the master for being stupid and uttered wise words would actually happen before my eyes.
But think about it.
I will definitely be sprayed in the future.
He became nervous immediately.
"Laughing? Are you still laughing?"
Li Jinglin glanced at Xu Xin angrily.
"Liu Chenyang is better than you in theory. You should just worry about yourself."
"."
"Don't look at me like that. If you can't write well, I'll show you to other teachers and let them laugh at you."
"Brother Lin, you are a devil!!"
"You just knew?"
"▌°Д°;)!!"
From a modern perspective, "The Abandoned Dido" is a Shabi story about a man abandoning a woman for his career, so modern composers focus more on expressing the "sorrow of being abandoned."
There are even many extended interpretations possible.
But if you want to express the texture and thinking content of the Baroque period, you need to consider the social environment, ideological changes, and religious influence at that time.
