At this year's Spring Festival Gala, Liao Yuan originally submitted the repertoire of Beethoven's "To Alice".

The score was not well known in its early years, and it was not until many years after Beethoven's death that it was discovered from a woman named Teresa.

Teresa was a schoolgirl taught by Beethoven at the age of forty, and was very fond of her, so she wrote a piece of "Baga Taylor in A minor" and presented it to Teresa in a very cheerful mood, and wrote the words "To Teresa, April 27, 1810, in commemoration" on the score.

After that, the score remained with Teresa, and Beethoven did not keep the manuscript for himself.

As a result, there is no such piece in his catalogue after his death.

It was not until the 60s of the 19th century, when the German musician Knoll wrote a biography of Beethoven, that the manuscript of the piece was found among the relics of Teresa Marfati.

In 1867, when Knoll published the score of this piece in Stuttgart, a city in southwestern Germany, he mistakenly wrote the original title "To Teresa" as "To Alice", and from then on, the piano work began to be widely circulated around the world under the name "To Alice", but the original name "To Teresa" was forgotten.

"To Alice" has become a must-learn piece for piano beginners all over the world because of its soft and moving, short and delicate, simple technique and easy to play, so people like to call it "insignificant music".

However, this insignificance is the embodiment of Beethoven's strong personal style and creative philosophy, and reflects his unique creative thinking.

There are many other unique features of the music, which are highly artistic and expressive, and have made it a favorite repertoire for many musicians.

However, director Zong Xu felt that this piece was too short,

Because "To Alice" is only a sketch of more than 3 minutes, according to the time left for Liao Yuan in the Spring Festival Gala, as long as it does not exceed ten minutes, it is basically at the mercy of Liao Yuan.

Therefore, after thinking twice, Liao Yuan added two more songs, the first one is called "Il -salto -dellangelo", the name of the song is Italian, translated into Chinese, it is "Angel's Jump".

The second song is "Oceano", which translates to "Ocean".

The two capitals are representative works of the famous Italian composer Roberto Cacciapallia in the previous life.

Unlike Beethoven's "To Alice", "Angel's Jump" and "Ocean" did not appear in this life, so when Liao Yuan made a slight adaptation, softened the three pieces together one after another, and played the song, Zong Xu didn't say a word, and directly made a decision.

So, a song "To Alice", a song "Angel's Jump", and a song "Ocean" have been fused together in this life and will appear on the stage of tonight's Spring Festival Gala.

All three pieces contain pop elements, which cannot be compared with real classical music in terms of difficulty, but in the audience's ears, it is definitely the most beautiful melody.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of the bell ringing on time came from the sound of the live stage of the Spring Festival Gala and all the corridors and passages in the backstage.

"Boom!"

With a burst of joyful gongs and drums, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was suddenly full of purple and red.

Hundreds of dancers and singers took the stage together to present tonight's literary feast to the global Chinese audience.

Subsequently, representatives of various ethnic groups also took the stage one after another to perform national characteristics, including the lion dance in Guangdong, Mongolian dance, Yi dance, and even performing artists of Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Sichuan Opera and Henan Opera.

Although they only have more than ten seconds on camera on stage, these actors have been practicing offstage for nearly half a year.

Everyone was filled with joy.

Soon, in a jubilant atmosphere, the hosts took the stage ceremoniously.

"Happy New Year, dear viewers and friends!"

"What you are watching and listening to now is the 2023 Spring Festival Gala that will be broadcast live to global audiences by Huaxia Central Radio and Television Station!"

"Our Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live to the world through CCTV's comprehensive channel, variety channel, Chinese international channel, children's channel, military agriculture channel and 4K ultra-high-definition channel!"

"At the same time, the Chinese online broadcast of the Central Broadcasting Network, the Huaxia Traffic Broadcasting, as well as new media social channels such as CCTV, CCTV, and International Online are being broadcast simultaneously!"

"In addition......"

When the hosts were reciting the script, Liao Yuan also sat in the front row of the guest seats at the Spring Festival Gala under the leadership of the staff.

Next to Liao Yuan, there are Zhang Gege, Ai Shi and others, and there are many well-known artists and stars farther away, and when Liao Yuan just sat down in his seat, the first show officially began.

At this time, Zhang Gege suddenly whispered to Liao Yuan: "Mr. Liao, I heard that Lemon Entertainment plans to make Han Yu come back in the near future......"

Liao Yuan turned his head and looked at him: "Comeback?"

Zhang Gege's spirits perked: "Yes, this matter is true, after more than a year of dormancy, not long ago, Lemon Entertainment has arranged a movie for Han Yu, although it is a supporting role, but isn't this a signal of a comeback?"

Liao Yuan sighed, his mind was fighting, and he said casually: "What is the attitude of radio and television towards artists with bad deeds?"

"Bad deeds?"

Zhang Hege smiled: "Actually, Han Yu is really not a bad deed, if it is drug abuse, prostitution or something, it must not be revived, but Han Yu is not, he is tax evasion, and he also went bankrupt to make up all the tax arrears, not even on the blacklist." Now on the radio and television side, it can only be said that he has turned a blind eye to his comeback, otherwise, Lemon Entertainment would not dare to arrange a role for him, right?"

Liao Yuan was thoughtful.

Zhang Hatge said again: "Not only Han Yu, but also Huang Zibin, has also made up all the tax arrears, and they are ready to pay in the near future, they are all artists with a fan base, as long as the brokerage company promotes well and plays a good hand, it is not difficult to restore the old situation......"

Liao Yuan said: "This doesn't seem to have much to do with me. ”

Zhang Hatge smiled: "Mr. Liao, there was a lot of trouble at the beginning, although we all know that this matter was done by Mr. Wang Rui, but there are also many people who regard you as the leader behind the scenes, and now Huang Zibin and Han Yu have come back one after another, I think they may hold a grudge against you, you have to be careful, especially Han Yu, I know him, this is a villain who will be revenged, I don't mean the problem of people's safety - Mr. Liao should understand this." ”

"Thanks for the reminder. Liao Yuan smiled slightly.

The dirt of the entertainment industry is not the trading of power and money, but a series of means for personal development.

For example, in his previous life, a well-known film and television actor was reported by various sunrise people, and after various incidents of drug abuse and prostitution were exposed, his life's star career was instantly ruined.

The list goes on.

But Liao Yuan is not worried, the first is that he is not afraid of shadows.

Second, even if he leaves the entertainment industry, he is confident that he can live a good life.

It's just that Liao Yuan still ignores one point, he is clean and self-conscious, and there are no loopholes, but the people around him are not all holy Buddhas.

......

When the Spring Festival Gala was held in the middle of the stage, in the loud shouts of the hosts, Liao Yuan took the stage to perform.

He had only rehearsed once before, but the whole person was not too nervous, facing the eyes of the audience and the cameras in all directions, Liao Yuan behaved very frankly, just like his sitting posture, straight as loose.

This is a white Steinway piano, Liao Yuan is wearing a white suit, sitting there, the ice mist under his feet slowly rising, as if riding on a ship.

It was pitch black.

But there were stars shining in the sky.

This is a 3D projection, and when viewed on a TV, the effect is more realistic.

Suddenly, a dolphin chirp appeared in everyone's ears.

On the big screen, a deep sea is boiling, and dolphins jump out of the sea one after another.

At this time, Liao Yuan's fingers began to play on the keys.

The first melody, after being broadcast live, was clearly transmitted to the ears of the global audience.

At that moment, the audience in front of the TV, computer and mobile phone screens was instantly brought into a rich imaginary world.

Where it is as if there is a lonely ship sailing on the sea, it neither seeks nor escapes happiness, it only sails forward, with the calm blue sea below and the golden sun overhead.

The prelude is taken from "Ocean", and the countless transpositions clearly reveal the vastness of the ocean, the tides and ups and downs, the turbulence and calm, which makes people can't help but be attracted by the sea in this dark night.

"Awesome my brother!"

"It's a quiet piece, but I'm so excited that it's like listening to it......"

"I saw the lonely mountains, the surging people, the long ancient roads, the wandering elves, the caravans of the desert, the marching soldiers, the gentle waves, the great abyss, and your tears—"

"I heard the phantom of the old Soviets, Lenin's impassioned speeches, the cheers of the October Revolution, and in the blink of an ear I heard the whining of steam gears, the guns that killed Ferdinand, the bombardment of the defense of Leningrad, the countless people singing the Internationale, and for a moment silence, and then the wailing and screaming of people, the crying of women, children and old people on the road, the announcement of a great end, the silence of everything—"

"Yes, the sea in the dark is the place where the imagination is most stimulated, listen to it tell those ancient and distant secrets!"

"I came from hell and wanted to go to heaven, tonight, I happened to hear Liao Yuan's performance, so I went down to earth and passed by the world. ”

"I was drifting in a lonely sea, where the sea and the sky were intertwined, and I didn't know where to go or where to stop. Just know the same, keep moving forward, don't look back. Until I find a place where I am willing to stay. ”

"Damn, poets, all poets!"

"Some of the greatest poets of the 21st century haunt this live broadcast room!"

"Nima, it seems that you can't pretend to be forced in the live broadcast room if you don't show your housekeeping skills, I'll also have one: I can row without pulp, I can sail without wind direction, because in my life, it all depends on the waves!"

"Life is like a journey, I am also a pedestrian, I have a bowl of wine, I can comfort the dust. ”

"Yes, they are all great gods, and the five bodies that the younger brother admires. ”

"Pass by, and offer your knees by the way!"

Not only the major online live broadcast rooms, but even Weibo has set off a fierce comment on the song "Ocean".

It was as if at this moment, the poets of the whole world could not hide - they all jumped out and pretended to be bards!

But I also have to say that Liao Yuan's song contains the ups and downs of various emotions.

For example, urgency and soothing, tension and relaxation, but in the end, all the rhythms will also be indifferent.

It's like a microcosm of life.

After the "Ocean" fragment was played, Liao Yuan played a classic "To Alice" piano sketch fragment in the middle.

After this clip appeared, many people who knew music at the Spring Festival Gala showed a discouraged smile, and some viewers who had itchy hands even walked in the air with their ten fingers and played along with Liao Yuan's playing.

In the end, the unfamiliar song "Angel's Jump" once again amazed the audience.

In the climax paragraph, the majestic rhythm makes people feel so shocked that their scalp is numb, and loneliness, sadness and poignancy are volatilized at this moment.

Zhang Gege, Tan Jie, Ai Shi and others all raised their heads and looked at Liao Yuan with burning eyes.

This kind of music, even if it is practiced for hundreds of years, will never go out of style!

It's music that goes deep into the soul and never needs words!

That's a masterpiece!

The loneliness in the sound of the piano is heartbreaking, like two people who will never see each other-

I can't see you in the sky, you can't hear me in the dark.

I'm above the grass, you're below the fallen leaves, we're so close, but so far away that we can't reach it.

Loneliness is the biggest theme brought by this song "Angel's Jump".

Love does not eliminate this loneliness, but it can bring thinking, and it is precisely because we understand the loneliness of others from ourselves and others that our hearts will be filled with the most sincere love for others.

We walk side by side in the dark, walking on our own pilgrimage paths, and we have no way of knowing whether we are walking towards the same holy place, because we cannot tell others or even ourselves what the holy place in our hearts is like.

When ten minutes passed, Liao Yuan's performance officially ended.

The entire Spring Festival Gala scene was silent.

Obviously, everyone is dressed and dressed up for a festive time, but at this moment, everyone seems to have forgotten where they are, and their faces are full of aftertaste.

Virtuoso performances can often arouse everyone's deepest emotions.

When people came back to their senses, in an instant, the applause was like a tide.

Liao Yuan stood up and gave a gentlemanly salute to the audience.

He was actually a little embarrassed, the director Zong Xu was a big boss, and when he was interviewing, he casually played a song "To Alice", and later added "Ocean" and "Angel's Jump" because of too much time.

Zong Xu couldn't realize the realm in the sound of the piano, but he just thought it sounded, so he immediately made a decision.

Liao Yuan was too lazy to do so, and he didn't mix the three songs together at home until he was on the stage.

The first two songs are actually okay, "Ocean" and "To Alice" are both very engrossing and make people feel beautiful melodies.

But "Angel's Jump" can lead people into the unpredictable abyss, because everyone will have a variety of emotions when listening to the climactic passage, especially when played by a master pianist like Liao Yuan, it is even more exciting.

Therefore, it is obviously a festive day, but now it makes everyone feel lonely for a while.

But I have to say that Liao Yuan's performance made many people who didn't care about the piano suddenly change their previous views on piano and music.

A good piece of music represents a thought, a love, a peace, or the power of the heart, and if the music is played by a top pianist, this power will be infinitely magnified.

That's why a lot of people like to go and listen to concerts by world-class musicians.

Of course, when listening to similar large-scale musical works, it is best to supplement them with some relevant knowledge.

In this way, you can hear the differences in the performance of different performers on the same piece of music, understand the emotions of the performers, and officially step into the door of the music palace.
