Hrutav is a technical violinist who likes virtuoso performances the most, so that when Hrutav's name is mentioned now, people will think of those difficult repertoires.
After all, Hrutav's works account for more than half of the ten most difficult violin pieces listed in the world. But the Capriccio "Flowing Water", which claims to be the most skilled, can only rank second among the ten most difficult pieces.
Not to mention that Hrutav has always made countless enemies in the music industry because of his own arrogant personality.
It is in modern times that people tend to pay more attention to the emotions conveyed in music than the so-called violin skills. Therefore, the producer of this ranking gave the first place to the concerto of one of the greatest composers, just because this composer has experienced life's climaxes and nightmares again and again. In this concerto, no one can completely grasp the emotion of this concerto.
Even when playing this piece of music, different violinists often need to play different movements, and even the fast and slow parts of a movement need different people to understand.
However, the status of "Flowing Water", known as "Devil's Tremolo", is constantly declining in today's music industry, because gradually some people think that although the skills required for "Flowing Water" are difficult, they are not as good as Hrutav's. The rest of the virtuoso caprices and variations are no different, and some people even suggested that "Flowing Water" should give up the second place.
However, Qing Yun didn't think so. In his opinion, Lai's "Flowing Water" was not inferior to the number one "Concerto in D Major".
It's time for Qingyun to play. He took his piano step by step and stepped onto the stage firmly.
The venue of the international music competition is the most famous Capital Opera House, Xiang Chenyu has not been on such a broad stage for a long time. When he played in the open square in the past, this cheerful boy never knew how to be nervous.
But now, as soon as he holds the bow, his body will tense up unconsciously, like a stiff robot. Even when Qing Yun had just crossed over, he could feel the trembling of this body.
Everyone scolded Xiang Chenyu for his incomparably mechanical playing, but no one knew how hard he tried to catch the tone from the piano box with his right ear, and how hard he tried to control himself not to make mistakes.
But even so, even with such difficulties, the boy still loves the violin so much, because the violin is the only light in his life and the only connection with his carefree childhood.
The host's enthusiastic voice sounded: "Next, we invite contestant No. 12, Xiang Chenyu, to bring his performance—Hlutav's caprice "Flowing Water"!"
Speaking of this, the host paused for a moment, why didn't his lines card specify which movement of "Flowing Water" the piece that contestant No. 12 was going to play was
It's impossible for him to play the whole piece, right
Oh God bless the pompous fellow! The host shrugged helplessly. He thought that maybe the people below who counted the repertoire made a careless mistake, otherwise he would not believe that someone dared to challenge the second movement of "Flowing Water" in this small preliminary competition. Be careful and you will get confused.
The judges next to them, when they heard the song reported by the host, some of them immediately became worried, and some raised their eyebrows in surprise, noncommittal. And the only two technical judges out of the ten judges didn't look so good-looking.
Because in the eyes of the emotional judges, this contestant chose Hrutav's piece without hesitation even though they were all present. In a sense, it was a provocation to them.
However, the two technical judges regard Hrutav's "Flowing Water" as the Divine Comedy in their hearts. Even they themselves cannot fully guarantee that they can perform the second movement well. What do conservatory students have to look forward to
There was even an angry judge who gave Qing Yun a score of zero before hearing Qing Yun's performance.
Of course, this hot-tempered judge is just an exception. Most of the judges are hindered by their own upbringing. Even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they will not show it too obviously. After all, this is only the preliminary round. But when the audience heard the name of the next player to play, they immediately lost interest.
The audience who watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the computer posted their own comments one after another:
[Xiang Chenyu? emmmmm I'll go play a game first and then come back, or call me when his brother Xiang Chenjin is playing...]
[Hahaha, why do you all have to leave? I really want to see how he made a mistake playing "Flowing Water"!]
[anger! I hope he won't insult "Flowing Water" in my heart! People must be self-aware, and don't try things that can't be done lightly.]
[Those of the techies upstairs get away, don't talk like it's high-end, it's just meaningless notes, you Hrutav party can leave!]
[No, no, I don’t think it’s a problem with the song. This contestant seems to be boring every time he plays. Although he can’t make mistakes, I always feel that his timbre is too mechanical, no matter how emotional the song is in his hands will be destroyed.]
[I agree with the above, it's a madman who destroys music, I really don't know how Xiang Chenyu was hailed as a child prodigy when he was a child.]
There were remarks satirizing Xiang Chenyu's own skills, and there were also those who attacked Hrutav and the song "Flowing Water". Xiang Chenyu and the song he wanted to perform became the target of public criticism.
It's no wonder that the audience reacted strongly, because Xiang Chenyu's previous performance was indeed not satisfactory, and his skillful skills were indeed praised, which is why he was able to enter the final of the preliminary round.
But everyone who has listened to his music said that there is something missing in his music, which makes people feel dull. There are only a small number of people who are still staying at the scene, or squatting in front of the computer to watch his performance, and some people have left bored, thinking of coming back when the next contestant takes the stage.
Compared with booing, most of the seats under the stage are empty, which is the worst situation for the performers. Qing Yun didn't care about the reaction of the audience. After all, he had already suffered the sharpest attack and received the highest praise.
Holding the piano in his left hand, he slowly leaned his cheek against the chin rest. He wanted to fully release the poor boy's dream and his unswerving love for music.
The judge who had a fiery temper and even angrily gave Qing Yun a zero point was about to walk away when he was caught by a strange tone.
The judge, who is extremely sensitive to music, couldn't help trembling twice. He froze his body like this, allowing the notes to flow into his ears slowly like flowing water, encroaching on his nerves.
This is an extremely strange tone, like a cold and ruthless natural rule, but with a kind of silent jump, it seems that something precious is sprouting.
The melodious sound of the violin, accompanied by the figure of the boy with his eyes closed, broke into everyone's hearts.
Some spectators who were about to get up and leave in front of the computer couldn't help but be attracted by the music like running water, and they barely stopped.
The drizzle, the ding-dong of the spring water, and the rustling of the stream, these natural sounds in nature came from the hands of the black-haired boy.
In an instant, they were brought from the noble and spacious opera house to the rainy mountain forest.
Is it just the sound of water? No, there seems to be something to look forward to in this voice, it is brewing, dormant, but it makes people want to pursue it, just like expecting a newborn baby.
Even an indescribable anxiety is conveyed in the Adagio of the first movement. This kind of anxiety is like watching the chicken peck open the eggshell little by little, and like the figure of the father wandering back and forth outside the delivery room.
Water breeds life.
In order to better master the piece, Xiang Chenyu had already memorized Hrutav's life by heart. Judging from Qing Yun's own experience, as Hrutav's last work, "Flowing Water" definitely has a different meaning in his life.
In his later years, Hrutav experienced a serious illness, but he was lucky to pass the test of life and death, and won the battle against the illness.
After recovering, Hrutav became unusually relaxed. He no longer lingered in various high-end concerts, but used his usual arrogance to devote himself to nature, and dragged his old body to see the whole world. He wrote the song "Flowing Water", which uses stringed instruments to perfectly express the sounds of various flowing water.
After composing the Capriccio "Flowing Water", Hrutav had no other works, and he even passed away helplessly the day before the performance of "Flowing Water".
However, according to records, when Hrutav passed away, he did not have any regrets, and his remains were full of peace.
Some people say that this is because Hrutav finally made the most extreme breakthrough in technique, and "Flowing Water" is already his top work, so he passed away peacefully like this.
Qing Yun, who has struggled with illness for thousands of years, doesn't think so. He can fully understand the transformation that a person can obtain after defeating fate.
The reason why the proud Hrutav stopped showing off his skills is because the song "Flowing Water" completely overturned his previous life creed and brought him a new life.
At the end of the first movement, after a slight pause, the rhythm suddenly picks up, and a new life has sprouted. Everyone's mood can't help but become cheerful, and the music is like a cheerfully flowing river, making "squeaky" laughter.
At this moment, even the photographer couldn't help squinting his eyes, and began to shake his body to the beat of the music. The camera just stopped at the corner of the boy's slightly raised mouth.
No one thought about whether the boy would skip the second movement.
Because the second movement has arrived, the highly skilled vibrato pops up little by little, and the flow of the river also makes waves from time to time. Happiness was hidden in the bottom of my heart, but uneasiness and worry came out again.
The rhythm of the music accelerated, and a silent depression emerged in people's hearts. The audience couldn't help but opened their narrowed eyes and looked at the teenager who was immersed in his own music on the stage.
Sweat had already oozed from his forehead, and even his expression became serious, even ferocious.
Here it goes, the devil's trill.
This is a kind of extreme depression, and the constant vibrato depicts a strange and familiar agitation. No one knows what kind of sound this is. Someone once simulated each movement of "Flowing Water" with electronic instruments, and then analyzed how many kinds of sounds of flowing water are depicted in this caprice.
All of them can associate music with flowing water in nature, except for the second movement.
No one knows exactly what sound the second movement depicts, so it was named "Devil's Tremolo". But Qing Yun knows that the second movement is not just flowing water, this movement depicts the beating blood in the human body.
It is the sound of blood rushing into the heart and being pumped out again, and it is the sound of blood continuously agitating in the arteries.
This kind of voice made humans subconsciously feel oppressed, but they couldn't break free, and could only stare at the boy on the stage for a moment.
Pain, sorrow, and surprise, all intertwined and exploded in the hearts of the audience!
In the lounge, Xiang Chenjin suddenly sat up from his seat and looked away from his phone. This is "Flowing Water"? "Flowing Water" famous for its skills
Xiang Chenjin looked in the direction of the stage in disbelief. Usually, even when musicians are playing "Flowing Water", people mostly judge their skills.
But now, who can spare the mind to evaluate the boy's playing skills
They were completely drawn into the field of music by the teenagers. The emotions contained in this piece of music had already filled their heads, leaving them no energy to think about the so-called musical skills!
Seeing that the second movement was about to end, Xiang Chenjin looked at the contestants in the lounge who were also immersed in the music, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth in anticipation, something went wrong! Make a mistake!
At the end of the second movement, there is a very difficult turning point. Unless the top violinist, no one can pass it smoothly!
However, Qingyun will definitely not let Xiang Chenjin get what she wants.
In an instant, like a hundred rivers entering the sea, the previous depression was swept away, and there was a vast expanse in front of him, and the rhythm hidden in the music became stable.
Everyone exhaled involuntarily and wiped the sweat off their faces.
Immediately afterwards, the music calmed down, and the expression of the boy on the stage became more relaxed, as if the audience who had just experienced a war were leaning back on their chairs and closing their eyes to enjoy the moment of tranquility.
The melodious and gentle music has turned into a trickle again, but it is like two elderly people walking hand in hand in the sunset. They have gone through a lifetime, experienced various ups and downs, and finally entered the twilight years of their lives.
The sound of the violin gradually became thinner and disappeared, leaving only the sound of the boy gasping lightly on the stage and the sound of sweat hitting the violin case.
Everyone opened their eyes, but there was no desire to talk.
It’s like waking up from a dream, and it’s like experiencing a complete life. This is the feeling of everyone, and combined with their own unique experiences, everyone has their own unique taste in their hearts.
The teenager on the stage had already left the stage without a sound, and only then did the audience remember that they forgot to give their own applause. There was thunderous applause all of a sudden, and the originally sparse audience was startled when they heard the applause at this time. They turned their heads and saw that the partners who had left around them all came back at some point. They forgot to sit back in their seats and just stood there. His face was flushed at the door, and he applauded for the boy.
The score will not be announced until the end of the game.
The judge who gave Qing Yun a score of zero earlier grabbed his number plate from the staff shamelessly at this moment: "No, no, no! No, no, let me change it!"
