Wang Xuan played very seriously.
While playing this piece of music, many scenes appeared in front of his eyes. He seemed to have traveled through time and returned to the difficult years a hundred years ago.
From 1840 to 1949, China's modern history was a history of humiliation and resistance. In this 109-year history, China has been thrilling every day and full of dangers every moment. Every decision and every movement is related to the life and death of 400 million people. There has never been an era so tense, there has never been an era so crazy. Of course, there has never been an era that has threatened the survival of this nation like this.
In 1949, the State of China was established, and the Chinese people finally ended the 109-year war. But countless homes were destroyed by the war, and countless people fell into a pool of blood in the war and will never wake up.
At that time, the country of China was full of waste and waste. The country is extremely poor, and people don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. This 109-year war has caused China's economy to regress for at least a few hundred years, and its economic aggregate is inferior to that of some small countries.
That's called tragic, that's called tragic.
Fortunately, everything is over. Today, China has become prosperous and powerful again. It has taken decades to catch up with countless developed countries and become the second largest country in the world.
But history cannot be forgotten, and humiliation cannot be forgotten. We must always remember that China’s peace and tranquility, prosperity and strength today are based on the blood of countless people.
A piece of music may focus on a central theme, but it may not contain just one emotion. He has the emotions that the writer gave him that he originally wanted to convey, but he also has the performer's state of mind integrated into it.
When Wang Xuan played "Croatian Rhapsody", what appeared in front of his eyes was the thrilling years of China, and he integrated his own emotions into those years. Therefore, the music he plays naturally conveys a period of time, which is thrilling, tragic, tragic, desperate and reborn.
Many people present listened to Wang Xuan's performance quietly, and their moods rose and fell with the speed of the rhythm. They seemed to have returned to the turbulent years of China with the sound of Wang Xuan's piano.
The eyes are empty, and a war seems to bring people back to their original state. The war deprived everything except the lives of the survivors. The scorched land, the city walls with thousands of holes, the broken rubble, and the ruins of walls can be seen everywhere...
The biting cold wind is raging, and unnamed tombstones that have been devoured by the war appear one after another. The land is stained red with blood, the people who have been displaced in the war, the ruins everywhere, and the bloody sunset reflects the tears and dust...
The sky was a bit low, and the clouds in the sky showed a melancholy gray color. The originally neat houses turned into a world of ruins under the baptism of shells. A group of dark crows stood on the burnt branches, screaming in pain.
The sky over China, where a fierce battle had just ended, was still filled with a strong smell of blood. Collapsed walls and messy gravels covered the ground. Dust swayed in the air, eventually settling and returning to the earth.
The entire country of China was shrouded in such death-like silence. This scene can be described as tragic and desperate. But despair cannot rebuild a home.
There is no need to despair. After so many years of war, we finally won the victory. This should be the time to celebrate.
The country has indeed become a wasteland, but there is always life on the wasteland. The main point of the song "Croatian Rhapsody" is not to express the cruelty of war, but to praise the indomitable spirit of the people and the rebirth of the country, but to express the love for the country and the nation.
Starting at 42 seconds, Wang Xuan's starting speed became faster.
After hearing this, Randall and others' eyes widened and they were shocked.
Nothing else. What was lacking in Horwitz's previous music is now present in the music played by Wang Xuan.
Horwitz's "Moravian Rhapsody" expresses only the cruelty and tragedy of war, and the people's pain, anger and despair. As for the song "Chinese Rhapsody" played by Wang Xuan, in addition to the above emotions, there is also perseverance, rebirth, and hope. The latter is where Moravian Rhapsody is most lacking.
Starting from 1 minute 03 seconds to 1 minute 26 seconds, it is the most upbeat and passionate section in the whole song. A poignant little white flower seemed to appear in front of Randall, Xiaoge and others, which was rebirth, heralding the country's rebirth.
Wang Xuan is full of enthusiasm and plays freely, with his slender fingers moving smoothly on the keys. The lively rhythm of the piano surges like a surge, full of emotion and hearty.
The piece is not long, only three and a half minutes, and Wang Xuan finished it quickly. But these short three and a half minutes were enough to leave people present with endless aftertaste. Listening to the sonorous and powerful sound of the piano, everyone seemed to be listening to an ancient story, which was the history of China's struggle.
The smoke-filled battlefield is full of the smell of destruction and death. People are afraid and desperate to fight, which is tragic and tragic. After the victory, the dilapidated homes and the joyful smiling faces of the people formed a sharp contrast. After that, the people began the vigorous work of rebuilding their homes. Step by step, today's prosperous China has emerged.
This kind of story is heart-wrenching. This kind of music is bright, moving, thrilling and shocking.
For a long time, the entire scene burst into applause.
Countless people are shouting Wang Xuan's name, including many foreign audiences, who have been conquered by Wang Xuan's "Chinese Rhapsody".
On the Internet, countless people are also shouting Wang Xuan's name.
Even many middle-aged people were infected by this song and remembered Wang Xuan.
At this moment, Wang Xuan became the most dazzling existence, and with his song "Yangyang Chinese Rhapsody", he became a god in the hearts of countless people.
"It's amazing! Wang Xuan's talent is simply unrivaled."
"I was sweating because of Wang Xuan just now. Damn, if I had known this, I'd be so nervous. Isn't this "Large Chinese Rhapsody" much better than the "Moravian Rhapsody"?"
"It's more than just brilliant. "Moravian Rhapsody" is not even worthy of holding a shoe in front of "Yangyang Chinese Rhapsody."
"I like Wang Xuan so much. This guy has never disappointed anyone."
...
On the other side, after Wang Xuan finished playing, he looked at Horvitz: "How was it? Has this song "The Chinese Rhapsody" ever disappointed you?"
Horwitz turned pale and was speechless for a moment. He knew that he had failed, miserably and completely.
"If you don't say anything, I guess you also know that you have failed. In this case, apologize. On this stage, in front of everyone, I want to apologize to all Chinese people. China is not the sick man of East Asia in the field of music. We are just experiencing After hundreds of years of war, we were busy developing the economy and had no time to take care of it, so we fell behind a little in music. But sooner or later we will catch up." Wang Xuan said.
"Wait, who said I lost?" Horwitz said, he didn't want to admit defeat.
"That's enough, Horwitz, you lost. If you lose, you are defeated. If you refuse to admit it, you will be looked down upon." Randall scolded.
"Horvitz, you have indeed failed. The reason for your defeat is that in your songs there is only the cruelty of war, and the people's pain and despair. In Mr. Wang Xuan's songs, you have everything you want to express, and in other people's songs, there are The perseverance of the people brings hope and rebirth. Compared with Mr. Wang Xuan's music, first of all, in terms of conception, your music falls into the inferior category," Egelina said.
"Yes, Horvitz, hope and rebirth are what are most lacking in your music. When you were playing just now, a few of us were discussing that if your music could sublimate the theme, it might become a classic. Otherwise, it's just a good piano piece. War is indeed hateful, but being obsessed with it won't help at all. People always have to look forward." Xiao Ge also responded.
"Horvitz, it is undeniable that the piece you played is very good, but it is nothing more than that. But the piece played by Mr. Wang Xuan is enough to be passed down to the world and become a famous song handed down from generation to generation. You did not lose unfairly. "One of the top ten pianists in the world spoke up.
"It's a worthwhile trip. I didn't expect to hear another famous song in China this time." Someone praised.
.....
These comments from the top ten pianists in the world made the scene excited and the Internet ablaze.
"6666!!"
"Isn't this too awesome? Wang Xuan randomly throws out a piano piece, and it is a famous piece handed down from generation to generation."
"No wonder Wang Xuan was so confident just now. In terms of composing, this guy is truly invincible."
"Who will dare to say that our country is the sick man of East Asia in the field of music? Wang Xuan has single-handedly raised the status of our country's music in the world to another level. He is really awesome."
...
It’s similar on overseas networks. Comments from international pianists such as Randall also made overseas networks abuzz.
"Nani? Famous song?"
"This is too exaggerated. "Dream Wedding", "Canon" and this "Old Chinese Rhapsody", this Chinese has created three famous songs that have been handed down from generation to generation."
"I never thought that China could produce such a great pianist. By the way, what is the name of this Chinese pianist?"
"Wang Xuan. By the way, this Chinese is not only a pianist, but also a very powerful pop music composer. "Dreamit Possible" was composed by this Chinese."
"Ah? He also composed "Dreamit Possible"? I like that song so much that it is the ringtone of my mobile phone."
"Me too."
"Wang Xuan? I remember him."
...
The comments made by Randall and others also made Horvitz look even paler. But he still didn't want to admit defeat and wanted to struggle again. Said: "No, in terms of theme alone, my piece is indeed inferior and not as good as Mr. Wang Xuan's piece. But the problem is, my piece is not a pure piano piece, but a symphony! It's just that It’s impossible to play the complete artistic conception using the piano, so I don’t think I lost.”
As soon as Horwitz said this, Randall and others were stunned.
The audience was in an uproar.
"Huh? Symphony?"
"I'll go! The symphony, it looks so classy."
"If it was really a symphony, could Wang Xuan still win?" Many people don't know the answer to this question.
Even Randall and others don't know. Because if the "Moravian Rhapsody" played by Horvitz was a symphony, it's hard to say what it would look like when played with other instruments.
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "What a coincidence, my "Chinese Rhapsody" is also a symphony, and the piano alone cannot fully express the artistic conception. Since you don't give up, then let's each find someone to cooperate. Come on stage and play. Anyway, there are many top musicians here, so it shouldn’t be difficult to choose someone? Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”
When Horwitz heard this, his expression changed drastically.
When Randall and others heard this, their eyes widened with shock.
The scene was once again in an uproar, and the Internet burst into cheers.
"66666, what a 6, Wang Xuan!"
"Wang Xuan: Unexpectedly, what I just played was also a symphony."
"Please help that foreigner's psychological shadow. He spared a hand. Who would have thought that Wang Xuan also spared a hand."
"A shitty hand. In my opinion, Wang Xuan should have kept a hundred hands."
"Basically, don't do it six times."
"It is indeed a basic exercise. The "Dance of the Four Little Swans" that Wang Xuan played on the national team stage before was not a symphony. At that time, Teacher Peipei gave up, and we didn't know why."
"This guy is so awesome! Sure enough, you can trust Wang Xuan anytime."
"The piano version of "The Rhapsody of China" is nice enough, but I didn't expect that this piece is actually a symphony. I really don't know what "The Rhapsody of China" would be like when played with symphonic instruments."
"Want to hear it!"
"I want to hear it too, so that foreigner, don't give in!"
...
Now that the matter has come to this, Horwitz certainly cannot give in. The two sides began to select people, get along, and agreed to have another competition in two hours.
Although the international music groups coming this time are mainly pianists, there are also many symphony orchestras. So it’s not hard to pick people. Soon, Horvitz picked someone and went to the rehearsal room to get started.
Wang Xuan also picked a lot of people. Of course, he picked all domestic musicians, such as Gu Jiahui, Huang Zhan, and Pepe. Most of them were from the national team, and a few were from the music association. musician.
Two hours is neither long nor short. Fortunately, while Wang Xuan and others were rehearsing, the live concerts did not stop. Pianists such as Lu Zitao took turns playing their own pieces on stage, and top ten pianists in the world also took the stage one after another to perform their favorite works, which did not make the audience too bored.
Finally, two hours flew by.
Horwitz and his chosen band began to play. After adding orchestral instruments such as violin, cello, drums, trombone, and trumpet to perform this piece of music, the artistic conception is indeed much higher. The tragedy and cruelty of the war, and the people's pain and despair are all rendered very well. In addition, the addition of the bass adds vitality to the artistic conception of this song.
But all this is doomed to be in vain.
"Croatian Rhapsody" is a piece of music that was only created in the new century, but it has become a household name. Isn't it a joke that it is not inferior to those classical masterpieces?
"Croatian Rhapsody" is played with violin, viola, cello, double bass, bass, jazz drum, tambourine and other instruments. The tragic and tragic, unyielding roar, hope and rebirth are simply exaggerated to the extreme. . It seems to be describing a period of war and rebirth, telling the story of the Chinese people rebuilding their homeland amidst blood and fire. It is tragic, grand, unyielding and strong.
Someone once predicted that the ultimate direction of human beings is self-destruction, and everything will be destroyed by their own hands.
Maybe, but on the other side of the darkness and blood is the glorious unyielding nature of human nature.
War is indeed cruel, but life must go on. Whether forgotten or remembered, people will always continue to survive strongly, carrying scars and seizing new life on the devastated land.
