Chapter 82: The New Horse Race

"Lu, the erhu is so strong, why haven't you heard of it before?" Paganini turned around in surprise and asked.

"Mr. Paganini, I don't know much about erhu, you have also seen it, old man Su, you should know that old man Su is stubborn, old man Su basically no longer plays erhu publicly, I haven't seen Liang Zhu to this extent before, Ye Mingxuan is the first. Lu Siqing explained.

"The emotional appeal of this instrument is so strong, it is a little stronger than the piano, which is known as the king of musical instruments. Paganini said with emotion.

"You're not wrong, our traditional musical instruments all pay attention to an artistic conception, the emotions are more subtle, and the timbre is also light and pleasant, but the erhu is a commonly used folk instrument in China, generally used to play mourning music, and the timbre of the erhu itself is sad. Lu Siqing nodded and said approvingly.

"Shouldn't that be? The Starsky song that opened today is very atmospheric. ”

"Sir, Starsky is indeed majestic, but if you think about it carefully, does the erhu have a desolate feeling when it sounds? Starsky had not done this before, and it was actually the first time I had seen the erhu play such majestic music. Lu Siqing patiently explained.

Paganini nodded. "Lu, I want to know about the erhu, can you introduce me to it?"

Paganini's request, Lu Siqing couldn't refuse, nodded and agreed.

"Lu, the erhu and the violin are all stringed instruments, so they shouldn't be difficult to learn, right?" asked Paganini suddenly.

Lu Siqing was inexplicably asked by this violin giant, but he still patiently explained: "Then you can think wrong, erhu is easy to learn and difficult to master, it is easy to get started, and it is too difficult to become a master." ”

"How long will it take to reach the level of this Mr. Ye?" Thinking of the erhu, Mr. Paganini felt impatient and couldn't help but want to learn about this ancient stringed instrument.

"Mr. Paganini, we have another old saying to describe the erhu, a handful of erhu to break the waist. Lu Siqing looked at Ye Mingxuan's young face and said with emotion.

"What do you mean by a handful of erhu pulling off your waist?"

This means that it takes a lifetime to become proficient in this instrument. Compared with Ye Mingxuan's age, this kind of thing makes it unbelievable for him, a person who has been immersed in music for half his life.

"What about Ye? He's obviously still very young. Paganini looked at Lu Siqing with an expression of "I don't read much, don't lie to me.

Lu Siqing said helplessly: "Mr. Paganini, maybe Ye Mingxuan is the kind of musical genius that is rare in a century!"

Lu Siqing just didn't know how to answer, so he casually pinched such a reason, but he didn't expect Paganini to really nod very seriously.

Forget it, you are a titan in the music industry, you can think whatever you want, Lu Siqing looked at Paganini and nodded, thinking in his heart.

Paganini stood up and interrupted the stalemate on stage: "Mr. Xiaoye, can you play another cheerful tune? I really like this instrument." After speaking, in order to apologize, he thought that Ye Mingxuan bowed slightly.

Ye Mingxuan didn't dare to accept it, and hurriedly ran over to help Paganini: "Since the old gentleman is willing to listen to the erhu, then I will play a song." ”

Ye Mingxuan looked at a few people on the stage, everyone on the stage said that they had no objections, and Mr. Paganini spoke, they had no reason to refuse.

No one objected, and Ye Mingxuan was not hypocritical.

"Horse racing, erhu solo, Ye Mingxuan. ”

The skill of horse racing is far from being comparable to that of Liang Zhu, and Mr. Paganini is incredible, with a fiery bow technique and strong emotions, like a volcanic eruption, showing the fierce scene of the racecourse.

The right hand pulls the bow and the left hand presses the strings and beats the fingers, the skills are gorgeous, and the people who see it are dazzled.

The final plucked strings were even more stunned, and a stringed instrument was forced to be played with the feeling of plucked strings, and the imitation of the horse's hooves was vivid, as if it was really in the racecourse.

After the horse race, the atmosphere of the scene is much warmer than Liang Zhu just now, Liang Zhu can make people's emotional side burst out, but this feeling is subtle, unlike horse racing, which makes people burst out of positive emotions, hot and surging.

While the people were still cheering, Paganini had already walked to the stage, looked at Ye Mingxuan hotly and said, "Dear Ye, can you give me your musical instrument? ”

As soon as Paganini's words fell, the audience was shocked and silent, knowing that Paganini's violin had been offered for 20 million US dollars, and he didn't make a bid, and now he actually traded one of the world's most expensive violins for an erhu?

Lu Siqing's heart was shocked, you must know that Paganini's piano is the Guanali family from a family of homemade pianos, his violin alone is worth as much as three million dollars, and Paganini's violin is even more immeasurable, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

Explained to Ye Mingxuan: "Ye Mingxuan, Mr. Paganini's violin was once bid for 20 million. ”

Ye Mingxuan was also taken aback by this price, more than 20,000 US dollars, he couldn't think about it.

Knowing the value of Paganini's violin, Ye Mingxuan couldn't accept it: "Mr. Paganini, your violin gave me a pearl secret projection, and I can't play the violin." However, this erhu is just an ordinary erhu, so of course there is no problem in giving it to you. ”

Ye Mingxuan handed the erhu to Paganini, and Paganini took it with a solemn expression: "Dear Ye, this is not an ordinary erhu, I think his value in the future will definitely surpass my violin, and your achievements will definitely surpass me." Paganini said very seriously.

Ye Mingxuan smiled awkwardly, he really didn't dare to answer Paganini's words, who is Paganini? After Xiaolang and Lu Siqing's explanations, he has already understood that the only remaining music master, giant, and master-level figure, this is an existence that can be compared with Beethoven and Mozart, surpassing him?

This music master takes such a fancy to him, and it is only because of his love and dedication to music, that he can treat music as sincerely as a child, so simply say the request to exchange the violin and erhu.

Paganini suddenly thought of something, and said to Ye Mingxuan: "Oh, by the way, I remember, my violin was asked to be collected by the museum, sorry I can't tell you about it, but I can send another violin made by Stradivarie, I rarely use it, it is also a very good instrument, but I am still used to using my violin 'cannon'." But dear Ye, I need you to sign this erhu with your name, is that okay?"

Ye Mingxuan signed his name on the erhu as he said, and Paganini looked at the erhu happily, looking at a rare treasure. Ye Mingxuan was extremely embarrassed to watch, this erhu was found for him by the Music Association, and it was valuable, but it was definitely not a world-famous piano.

Listening to Lu Siqing's introduction, whether it is Guarneri's piano or Stradivari's piano, as long as it is well preserved and can be played well, there is no less than one million US dollars. What's more, these two violins are guqins with a history of more than 300 years.
