Chapter 537 A song "Croatian Rhapsody", an epic story of war and rebirth

Wang Xuan played very seriously.

While playing this piece of music, many scenes appeared before his eyes. He seemed to have traveled through time and returned to the difficult years a hundred years ago.

From 1840 to 1949, the modern history of China was a history of humiliation and resistance. During this 109-year history, China was thrilling every day and full of crises every moment. Every decision, every movement, was related to

It affects the life and death of 40 million people. There has never been an era that has been so tense, there has never been an era that has been 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 founded, and the Chinese people finally ended the 109-year war. However, countless homes were destroyed by the war, and countless people fell in a pool of blood from the war, and they will never wake up.

At that time, the country of China was in a state of poverty and poverty. People did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. The 109 years of war caused the country's economy to regress for at least several hundred years. The overall economy was in a state of decline.

The quantity is not as good as some small countries.

That's called tragic, that's called tragic.

Fortunately, everything has passed. Now China has become prosperous and strong again. It took decades to catch up with countless developed countries and become the second largest country in the world.

But history cannot be forgotten, humiliation cannot be forgotten, and 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 closely revolve around a central theme, but it may not only have one emotion. It has the emotion that the writer gave it that it should have conveyed, but it also has the performer's state of mind integrated into it.

When Wang Xuan played "Croatian Rhapsody", what came to mind was the thrilling years of China. He integrated his own emotions into those years. So the music he played naturally conveyed the same

A period of time that is thrilling, tragic, tragic, desperate, and reborn.

Many people present listened quietly to Wang Xuan's performance, 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 return people to the original state. The war has deprived everyone of everything except the lives of the survivors. The scorched land, the walls with thousands of holes, broken rubble, and broken 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, and the people who have been displaced in the war are ruined everywhere. The bloody sunset reflects the tears and dust.

The sky was a little low, and the clouds in the sky showed a melancholic gray. 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 the 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 is shrouded in such death-like silence. This scene can be described as tragic and desperate. But despair cannot rebuild our homeland.

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 focus 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

Love for country and nation.

Starting at 42 seconds, Wang Xuan's starting speed became faster.

After hearing this, Randall and others opened their eyes wide and were shocked.

Nothing else. What was lacking in Horvitz's previous music is present in the piece Wang Xuan plays now.

Horwitz's "Moravian Rhapsody" expresses only the cruelty and tragedy of war, the people's pain, anger and despair. The "Yangyang Chinese Rhapsody" played by Wang Xuan, in addition to the above

In addition to this emotion, there is perseverance, rebirth, and hope. The latter is also the most lacking aspect of "Moravian Rhapsody".

Starting from 1 minute 03 seconds to 1 minute 26 seconds, it is the most uplifting and passionate section in the whole song. A poignant little white flower seemed to appear in front of Randall, Xiaoge and others.

It is a new life, which heralds the nirvana and rebirth of this country.

Wang Xuan is full of enthusiasm and plays freely, and his slender fingers are flexible on the keys. The bright rhythm of the piano is as fast as a surge, full of emotion and hearty.

The piece was not long, only three and a half minutes, and Wang Xuan finished playing it very 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

Listen to an ancient story, which is the history of China's struggle.

The smoke-filled battlefield was full of the smell of destruction and death. People were frightened and resigned to the battle, which was tragic and tragic. After the victory, the holes in their homes formed a sharp contrast with the happy smiling faces of the people. After that, the people began to fight vigorously

The work of rebuilding our homeland. Step by step, we have today's prosperous China.

Such a story can make people sing and cry. Such music can be lively, 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. Apart from others, they have been conquered by Wang Xuan's "Song of 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 "The Great Chinese Rhapsody", he became the god in the hearts of countless people.

"It's amazing! Wang Xuan's talent is simply unrivaled."

"I was worried about Wang Xuan just now. Damn, if I had known this, I would have been so worried. Isn't this "Chinese Rhapsody" much better than the "Moravian Rhapsody"?"

"It's more than 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?"

Horvitz's face turned pale and he was speechless for a moment. He knew that he had failed, miserably and completely.

"If you don't speak, you probably 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 slightly behind 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.

"Horwitz, you have indeed failed. In your songs, there is only the cruelty of war, and the people's pain and despair. Mr. Wang Xuan's songs 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.

"Horwitz, 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 piece 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 went crazy.

"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 really 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."

The situation is similar on the overseas Internet. Comments from international pianists such as Randall also made the overseas Internet abuzz.

"Nani? A famous song handed down from generation to generation?"

"This is too exaggerated. "Dream Wedding", "Canon" plus this "Old Chinese Rhapsody", this Chinese has already composed 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. "Dream It Possible" was composed by this Chinese."

"Ah? He also composed "Dream It 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 from Randall and others also made Horvitz's face paler. But he still didn't want to admit defeat and wanted to struggle again. He said: "No, in terms of the theme alone, my piece is indeed inferior.

It's 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 impossible to play the complete artistic conception using only 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.

"Ah? 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 Horwitz was a symphony and played with other instruments, it's hard to say what it would be like.

Wang Xuan smiled and said: "What a coincidence, my song "Chinese Rhapsody" is also a symphony, and it is impossible to fully express the artistic conception with just the piano. 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."
