Chapter 124: The Erhu Pavilion that no one cares about
"Master, you see that others are also playing strings, and we are also strings, so why don't anyone come to see your lectures? Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A little boy asked, looking at the empty hall with a bored face.
I really envy the violin player, not to mention the largest concert hall, I just went to take a look, the posture outside the door is simply crowded, the huge concert hall feels like it can't be fitted, and our own erhu hall, not even a single figure can be seen.
The "audience" sitting in the front row of the hall are all the brothers and sisters in the Chinese orchestra pretending to be popular.
The little boy sighed as if he had seen through the world, and continued,
"Master, if we don't change to playing the violin, we won't be able to mess around!"
"Change your size, didn't a lot of people come to see it just now, there are quite a few! There are foreigners, and there are reporters, when you take pictures of you, why is the erhu not good?"
There was an old man with a goatee on the side, and he slammed Xiao Zhengtai's head!
"It's a violin hall that's not open. You see, you've prepared such a long speech, and it's been less than fifteen minutes since you started speaking, and you're running out. ”
Xiao Zheng is too truthful, to the point, the embarrassed and angry master is another violent shock, and the orchestra members in the small hall who pretend to be the audience to make up the popularity watch the master educate the little junior brother, and laugh crookedly.
"Don't be presumptuous! What has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, we have to pass it down and promote it, and it is not easy to win this opportunity. Where can't the erhu compare to the violin?"
Xiao Zhengtai, who was holding his head in pain, pursed his lips and continued to muttered dissatisfiedly, but no one came to listen to it.
The old man looked helplessly at the recital hall, where there were not more than one fly, and even he himself was a little disheartened, and he had a long way to go.
In the sigh of the erhu small orchestra, a young man wearing a mask suddenly came in, and he was also holding a little Lori who was also wearing a cute bear mask.
Su Luo looked at the concert hall with only a dozen people and was a little confused, wouldn't it? So deserted?
Standing at the door like an uninvited guest, he was watched by a dozen or so people inside, a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and asked with a smile,
"Hasn't this started yet? Looks like I came early. ”
"Welcome, welcome, it's already started, it's all been talked about for a round. ”
A little Zhengtai sitting in the front row said weakly with a small face.
Su Luo hugged Yike and sat in the front row generously, took off the mask and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, took a sip, and teased this little Zhengtai with a smile.
"Isn't it, I just saw the time on the sign, and it was less than half an hour before I started to talk about one round? The erhu, a traditional Chinese bowed string instrument with a history of more than 1,000 years, really can't be finished in three days and three nights!
As soon as he heard Su Luo's words, the old man with the goatee's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up in his heart, this is a young man who knows the goods!
"That's right, erhu began in the Tang Dynasty in China, has been passed down for more than 1,000 years, and is an important part of traditional folk music in China. The professor didn't dare to be a professor, he was just an ordinary charlatan. ”
The old man with a goatee in a tunic clasped his hands and clenched his fists and said.
"Cut, I can't pass it on anymore, and I'm still bragging! Master, I still want to change careers to practice violin." Xiao Zhengtai said nonchalantly.
The old man with the goatee glared at the little apprentice, and the stinky boy was demolished! Is it easy to have an audience?
looked at the empty hall again, and had to admit that the little apprentice was right, no one really paid attention to it.
reluctantly accepted the reality, and said to Su Luo: "Anyway, there is no one, the lecture hall can't be talked about, let's talk casually." ”
said that he introduced the "audience" in the front row, and did not scare Su Luo, it turned out that they were all members of the Chinese orchestra, and the real audience was just him and Baobao, touching his nose, was it so miserable?
The goatee old man sighed,
"The erhu is developed from the huqin, and in the feudal era, the huqin in the eyes of successive rulers was a vulgar musical instrument that could not be elegantly displayed, although it was widely circulated among the people.
However, it has long been limited to a tool for some lowly folk artists to make a living, so the erhu has even been regarded as a "musical instrument called Hanako" for a long period of time and has been reduced to the streets.
When others see the erhu, they evoke associations about poverty and the countryside, and when they think of beggars, they think that the erhu is very vulgar, it is a begging tool, and its status is indeed incomparable with the violin of the natural aristocracy. ”
Su Luo touched his nose and said: "I think there is no distinction between expensive and cheap musical instruments, the tension and expressiveness of the erhu are extremely strong, its beauty and melodiousness are not inferior to the violin, and the changeability of the erhu is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
It is a thousand-mile horse that has not been excavated, but it is still wandering among the stables for the time being, and is not accepted by the world.
The impression of the erhu is indeed inferior to that of the violin, the first impression and feeling of the erhu when ordinary people hear the erhu is "earthy", and when they hear the violin, they associate it with "elegant", which is influenced by many historical factors, but I think this is only one of the small reasons why the erhu is unpopular with the people, not the main reason. ”
Su Luo talked eloquently, and Xiao Zhengtai and the other members of the Chinese orchestra on the side were surprised.
The more the old man listened, the more surprised he became, and he clenched his fists and arched his hands: "I want to hear and see!"
"You're welcome, sir, I can't say it, there is no doubt that the erhu is an excellent instrument, there is nothing wrong with itself, and the impression of the erhu tradition can be changed, and the unpopularity is more because of the insufficient excavation and development of the erhu, the violin appeared much later than the erhu, but the accumulation of history provides the violin with too many excellent repertoire and complex techniques.
As for the erhu, it appeared much earlier than the violin, but its classic repertoire is still in those tones full of outdated atmosphere, too lacking in excellent repertoire, most of the songs that have been handed down are of low difficulty, poor charm, and it is okay to practice with your hands, really speaking, it is difficult to find even a piece of dazzling skills, how can it attract people, how can it be elegant? In this regard, the violin can fall into the erhu several streets, so if the erhu wants to be popularized and promoted to the world, it must be innovative!"
After Su Luo finished speaking, his mouth was dry again, and he hurriedly drank a bottle of water.
The whole of the Chinese orchestra was dumbfounded, originally we gave lectures to promote erhu knowledge to people, but now it has become someone else giving us a lesson, and we are convinced.
Tang Yike's baby looked at her baby master with little stars in her eyes, although she didn't understand what Su Luo said, but it didn't prevent her from feeling that the master was so powerful, because those brothers and sisters all admired their baby master, she could feel and understand the eager admiration of the gaze.
The arrogant little face inspected the brothers and sisters around him, hum! My master is the best!
