"I can't hide anything from Madam. I have been thinking about it for nearly a year. I just finished the score yesterday. I played it myself and listened to it. I don't know whether it is good or bad. Today I came to Madam's house to play it for Madam to listen to.
Madam, you belong to the Chinese Fang family, so please give me your advice without hesitation."
Mrs. Xiao was also very happy after hearing this. She straightened her posture and looked like she wanted to listen to the loud music. She smiled softly and said: "This poem is a masterpiece in both artistic conception and words. I have never shared it with you before.
I'm just afraid that if you can't have your own opinion, the music you compose will definitely not be beautiful...
Ah, by the way, let's move to a more spacious place, and you should go and take a bath. We are not like Boya Ziqi. We can be under the thunder when we like, and we can let nature take its course. It is more solemn to make such a loud noise.
For the best, what do you think?"
When two cultural people come together, it is natural that they have similar interests and are sophisticated enough to put a rough guy to shame.
Lu Xiangjun nodded repeatedly, "That's exactly what happened, so Xiangjun was rude and resigned..."
………………
Both the performers and the audience took half a day to adjust their moods, and when they met again it was in a flower hall specially set up for performances in the back house of Mrs. Chengguo's house.
At this time, their faces were solemn, as if they were facing distinguished guests.
After Lu Xiangjun took a bath and changed clothes, she was wearing a palace dress, revealing a large area of white breasts, and her long hair was casually spread over her shoulders. She had also burned incense and sat in meditation for some time in the quiet room, feeling energetic and energetic.
Unprecedentedly full.
At this time, she put aside all other things and focused almost entirely on the piano platform, as if every cell in her body was preparing for the upcoming performance.
In her mind, there were only the brilliant fireworks, the clear starry sky, and the figure walking in the lantern market as if there was no one around.
And Mrs. Xiao is like a gourmet who loves good food. She has been waiting here for a long time, but she is not impatient at all, because before the big meal arrives, she must make herself full of emotions, so that she can enjoy the delicious food after the dinner is served.
Mrs. Xiao will no longer politely praise the beauty of Lu Xiangjun's palace attire, and Lu Xiangjun will no longer find a close friend. They no longer have any verbal conversations, and they don't even look at each other.
A solemn and sacred atmosphere was created in this way.
Lu Xiangjun came to the piano table and sat down. With nothing else in his eyes, he habitually reached out and fiddled with the strings a few times to adjust the pitch.
In fact, she had already tuned the strings before she came to the house, and no further correction was needed.
She stopped and waited for a moment, then raised her hands and positioned herself, ready to play.
If Li Po were here at this time, he would definitely complain about it. There were not so many adjustments at the Chang'an Maritime Academy construction site before, and it was obviously perfunctory.
……………………
The sound of the piano finally sounded like running water, and the rhythm was quite soothing. This was the overture.
Xiao quietly tasted the taste, and his consciousness wandered and pursued in the music. This rhythm was obviously different from the gorgeous and vast opening of the Sapphire Case.
The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and even blows down stars like rain... As long as Xiao thinks of the words and sentences in it, he will tremble all over, and he will feel that there is no Yuanxi poem in this world.
But what Lu Xiangjun is playing now is too peaceful and relaxing...
But Mrs. Xiao is not in a hurry. Lu Xiangjun is different from the piano masters at Taichang Temple. She may be slightly inferior in some skills, but the rare thing about her is that the music she composes is always flexible and changeable. In later words, it is full of energy.
With imagination and creative passion, there are almost no restrictions.
Xiao's artistic accomplishment is not just for boasting, she soon got a feel for it...
Music is not just scattered notes. From the moment it was born, it was designed to imitate the sounds in nature. Later, people learned to use music to express their feelings. This is a higher level of musical accomplishment.
It can use sound to express the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the player, to achieve the role of venting emotions and soothing the soul, and the piano is one of the best.
But the higher level is to connect all the notes in series to tell people a complete story. This is just like how people later converted heat energy into electrical energy. Only those who play the piano at a certain level can express themselves freely.
Even if other people play according to the music composed by their predecessors, they are just following in the footsteps of their predecessors, walking in a regular manner, and they cannot achieve the effect of making the listener immersed in the scene and unable to extricate themselves.
And Lu Xiangjun seems to have entered the room, and can use music as a medium to freely outline the picture in the audience's mind.
However, this is the biggest limitation of music. If you want to follow the sound of the piano and imagine, you also need profound artistic cultivation. Ordinary people cannot achieve this state. They just listen to it and cannot form a resonance with it. It is almost the same as
Playing the piano to an ox.
If you want to create something that both refined and popular people can appreciate, I guess even if a saint comes, it won’t work. Of course, we should elevate something that everyone understands, like squinting, into an artistic act, and be able to shamelessly say, you don’t understand, only we understand.
Fake artists are a different matter.
The white snow in spring is inherently noble and pure, and only a few people know how to hear it.
However, because of cultural inheritance, as long as you are in the original civilization, even if you are not familiar with music, you can sometimes experience something from music, but it is not as profound and clear as those who have learned it.
………………
For example, now, a figure appeared in Xiao's mind, walking in the market in the dark night, with no one accompanying him, and without any purpose, walking casually, like a god wandering at night.
Just as she had guessed, Lu Xiangjun understood the true meaning of the Qingyu Case, and she could feel a hint of desolation from the calm sound of the piano.
The sound of the piano flows, as if lamenting the geometry of life and the impermanence of time.
The prelude was not long, but it was meaningful. Mrs. Xiao nodded secretly. This young lady's piano skills have improved again. It can be said that she has made further progress. There are no more traces of chiseling, which is rare and rare.
The turning point soon arrived, the main vocals were loud, but the backing vocals were still disconnected, as if there was a faint light ahead, and it might shine brightly at any time.
Mrs. Xiao secretly exclaimed that it was wonderful. Such a turn requires profound skills, otherwise it would be extremely messy. If you are not a skilled luthier, you should not challenge this kind of task.
The strings of the piano were clanking, and Mr. Lu Xiang was concentrating on it.
The poem "The Sapphire Case" has a gorgeous opening line. It was very difficult to compose music for it. It took Lu Xiangjun more than half a year to complete it.
Simply playing the piano is so difficult, and it will have to be sent to Taichang Temple to be accompanied by other musical instruments, because this is a song that requires a singer to sing the harmony.
The Sapphire Case was born on the night of the New Year's Eve last year. Now it has been sung for a long time. Someone in the palace must have composed the music for it. The first ones to complete it were actually the prostitutes in Caiyufang.
They don't need to make it too advanced, they just need to find an ordinary piano player to compose a tune that can be catchy. Just like those ancient tunes, there are so many versions that no one knows how many people have changed them.
But the backbone of the music usually doesn't change much. This is what everyone like Lu Xiangjun strives for. She also has this confidence. The music I composed can be worthy of this "Sapphire Case". Once it is spread, it will be popular. Take the lead.
It's just that as a violinist, words like Qingyu'an grab the spotlight first, and no matter how wonderful the sound of the piano is, you have to give in to it. This is the power of a masterpiece, so that you can't even think about the desire (harmony) to dominate the guest.
………………
At this time, the music has reached the climax (harmony), the notes are beating, neither soft nor hard, but full of surprise, like a blind man suddenly seeing the sky, or like a cold and hungry man suddenly approaching. fire.
The starry sky is thousands of miles away, as bright as day, the eyes are full of flowers, and there are a lot of people...
The passionate emotion revealed in the sound of the piano was so gushing out that it was like a dream, making Xiao instantly indulged in it and almost unable to extricate herself.
The prosperous scene in the early days of Daye seemed to suddenly appear before her eyes again, with a ten-mile long stage, singing and dancing all night long, everything she saw was prosperous, and everything she heard was high-pitched...
Lu Xiangjun seemed to relax at this time, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, but there was sadness climbing up between his eyebrows, as if he was hiding endless thoughts.
But her hands kept dancing, and each note appeared like an elf when the strings were playing, jumping around her, and finally disappeared into the depths of her heart.
There were some areas that seemed a bit awkward before, but now they have become smoother naturally. There is no need to do it as deliberately as before, everything is under control, and it seems to fall into place naturally.
She had some understanding in her heart, but her whole mind was immersed in the music and she couldn't care about anything else.
The main sound is as strong as wine, but the accompanying sound is still vague, as if it is telling the listener something. In terms of artistic conception, it has been split into two parts, one outside and one inside, both isolated and connected.
For contemporary luthiers, this is a piece of music that is almost impossible to copy. If you can’t understand the Sapphire Case, you can’t understand this piece of music. But once you are immersed in it, how can you do two things at once? You have a strong sense of immersion For everyone in the piano, it was too painful...
Mrs. Xiao was like this, with a longing smile on her face, but at some point, tears started to flow down her face.
The sound of the piano led her thoughts to the sapphire case...a refreshing spiritual journey...
Lu Xiangjun moved his hands like gods, holding fire in one hand and water in the other, but he accurately found a balance between them, so that they could always live in peace.
The sound of the piano continued, and the accompanying sounds gradually infected the main sounds, causing them to gradually merge together. A kind of resentment and loneliness from the bottom of my heart quietly emerged, and finally replaced the bewildering gorgeousness at some point, as if everything was gone. It's an illusion.
The figure was alone again, searching endlessly in the darkness, but found nothing, as if he only hoped to see a little light...
Mrs. Xiao held her chest as if she was out of breath, and wanted to get up and ask Mr. Lu Xiang not to play anymore. If he continued to play, there would be dead silence...
