Chapter 1003 Who said that Huaxia Wuyin can't write operas?
In the surprised eyes and discussions of everyone, they only looked at Master Puccini's pestle and cane, walked to Su Huai's side, looked at him, and then said:
"Mr. Su, I admit that your "Laughter in the Sea" has a unique flavor, the audience is willing to vote for you, I have nothing to say, but this is said at two ends, the level of appreciation of ordinary audiences is limited, I believe that if it is a professional musician to comment, "My Sun" and "Song of the Matador" may not necessarily lose to your three songs, do you think what I said makes sense. ”
Su Huai didn't expect that Puccini was still alive at this time...... secretly said in his heart, although this opera master put on music in public, the truth is correct, and he does not refute it, but says modestly:
"There is no first place in the so-called literature, there is no difference between high and low music, only preferences. ”
"I don't think so. Old man Puccini didn't eat this compliment at all, but waved his hand solemnly:
"Good is good, bad is bad! I just think that in terms of the level of music and art, our opera is more advanced and more appealing than your Chinese pentatonic sound!"
Pavarotti, Domingo listened with embarrassment, and thought to himself, the Eastern team won this game, Su Huai himself can be modest, but your old man said this, it sounds a bit of a dead duck's mouth to the ordinary audience, and our opera has lost more than 9 million votes......
However, Puccini is not a strong argument, he has his own set of theories, and said to Su Huai:
"When I say this, Mr. Su may not be convinced, but my reason is also very simple, that is, Chinese pop songs are made of seven tones, but our classical opera in Europa has never been composed in five tones......"
When everyone heard this, they understood what Puccini meant, and he wanted to say: "What we can do with the Chinese pentatonic tones, we can do the Europa seven-tone melody, but what we can do with the Europa seven-tone melody, you can't do it, so your Chinese pentatonic is not as good as ours." ”
Su Huai originally thought in his heart that if it comes to melody and harmony, European music is indeed richer than the music handed down from China, but when he heard Puccini say that five tones can't write songs, he narrowed his eyes and said:
"Master Puccini, I'm afraid this is not right, your so-called Chinese five tones can't be used for opera, I'm afraid that you are not strong enough and have too narrow knowledge of music, you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. ”
Everyone exclaimed, but they didn't expect Su Huai to dare to go toe-to-toe with Master Puccini.
When Puccini heard his words, he thought to himself, from the few Chinese songs just now, this Su Huai's high musical literacy is only afraid that he will not lose to him, but he may not be Su Huai's opponent in terms of other music types, but when it comes to opera, Puccini feels that Su Huai is making an axe in the class.
It's just that Su Huai dared to say this, I'm afraid he didn't know anything about opera, so he frowned slightly and said, "Does Mr. Su also know ancient Europa opera?"
He asked very cleverly, he asked not "Does Su Huai understand opera?" but "Do you understand ancient Europa opera?"
These two sound similar, but there is one crucial difference, and that is language!
Although Pavarotti and Domingo sang Chinese opera in the Spring Festival Gala, when performing at the Europa Classical Opera House, they still retained some ancient Italian opera singing, which was originally a minority in Europa, and even Kirk, the chairman of the Europa Cultural Federation sitting in the VIP seat, did not understand, let alone Su Huai, a Chinese man, could understand.
Su Huai didn't answer his question, but said:
"Master Puccini, I have heard that you have recently been working on an opera of ancient Europa called Turandot, and in it there is a passage, a chorus melody and a song under the royal palace, and you have not been able to compose a suitable ...... The reason why the release of this opera has been postponed is because of this creative bottleneck. ”
Puccini listened to him intently, originally thinking that Su Huai had discovered his trick, but he didn't expect Su Huai to suddenly change his words and point out the most distressing thing he had been doing recently, and his face couldn't help but change color, and he said after a while:
"You...... How do you know?"
Su Huai unfolded the folding fan in his hand and smiled faintly, and said:
"The younger generation knows a little about ancient Europa opera, if Master Puccini can trust me, it is better to wait until after the Spring Festival Gala, and we will work together to compose this melodic song...... I believe that this problem in Turandot can be solved. ”
Su Huai's words can be said to have given Master Puccini enough face, but in Puccini's sound, it was Su Huai who was playing tricks, and snorted:
"Although not many people know about my creation, it is not surprising that a powerful person like Su Shengren can understand it.
But even if Mr. Su knows some opera music theory, but I haven't found inspiration, and Mr. Su, you don't know the orchestration in "Turandot", how can you help us compose the music?"
Saying that, Puccini sneered and sneered: "Mr. Su, I'm afraid that he thinks too highly of himself, I'm afraid that Master Verdi is resurrected, so he is qualified to say such a thing." ”
Verdi, the "father of Italian opera", reformed opera 100 years ago to adapt to the aesthetics of modern people, and is the pinnacle of art in the minds of all opera creators.
Su Huai frowned slightly and said: "Master Puccini, when Verdi improved the opera, he used a lot of Europa and African ballads, and integrated them into the opera, but there is no such argument that the ground is a prison. ”
Puccini originally had a high status in the opera world, although he knew that Su Huai had some truth in what he said, but at the Spring Festival Gala, he was accused by a Chinese man of being "narrow-minded", how could he not be angry, and laughed angrily:
Since Mr. Su is so confident, why not use these Chinese five tones on the spot to create the melody in "Turandot"?
You Su Huai, don't sell your mouth, you have this thing to prove on the spot.
Academician Zhou and Monk Gu on the side both looked at Su Huai and knew that his music background was actually average, but they pretended to be a master, talked eloquently, and taught Puccini a lesson, and couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
But I can't help but be secretly anxious in my heart, this Puccini is difficult on the spot, how to respond to this?
Wang Xiaoya, the hostess on the stage, also hurriedly played a round and said:
"Master Puccini, don't be joking, although Mr. Su is a pedantic, but Italian opera has its own heritage, the creation cycle is extremely long, live creation, where is the time enough, even if Master Verdi is resurrected, I'm afraid I can't do it~"
As soon as the words fell, Su Huai smiled and said: "Since Master Puccini asked, then I can also try it and adapt this opera melody with traditional Chinese five tones." ”
The audience and the audience in front of the TV were stunned, what did Su Huai mean by this? Could it be that he really wanted to use five tones to write an Italian opera?
