Chapter 378: A Misleading Request
Liao Dongneng closed the score, sighed deeply and said, "It's only one step away from greatness!" It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu also thought about this problem last night while picking up the score, and said, "Actually, it's not that it can't be written, but after all, this is a concerto that belongs to the Chinese nation, and we must take care of the feelings of our Chinese people, we Chinese people have always attached more importance to melody, so the use of classical techniques is ignored, after all, if the two ends can't be taken into account, it is better to only strengthen one side." ”
Of course, Liao Dongneng is also aware of this diǎn, but after all, the world of classical music now belongs to the West, and such concertos will inevitably not be recognized internationally, so he said, "But the harmony and form of Deao are passports in the classical world, and to write national music with classics, you must have a good classical foundation." What you are talking about is indeed a common problem of our Chinese people, and there is a problem with the classical genre music that we create, that is, the melody is very good, and the use of classical techniques is not proficient. That's the first question."
"And the showmanship is another problem you have in this work, the cadenza with the showmanship in the concerto is a test of the composer's ability to control, the showmanship is not a pile of notes, the cadenza is a complex project that needs to be finely handled, it is easy to write, but to write difficult and reasonable, you need a good classical foundation, because the showmanship is only reasonable if it serves the music itself. Showmanship does help the status of the work, provided you can handle it well. From this diǎn, we look at people like Grieg, Chai, and Lahe who have succeeded in writing folk music in classical music, and the works are difficult and reasonable. I think you still lack systematic learning and suitable tutors, and I think if you are willing to come to the composition department, you can appoint any teacher to be your mentor. And I'll make sure you're doing a PhD, really. Xiaoyu, I believe that as long as you are willing. You will surely become a great composer in Chinese history. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu has long had an idea about his future, and his passion for classical music is not very great, he said, "I stop at classical music, and my ambition is not to create classical symphonies, I have always believed that classical music in general was the popular music of the time, and it was a part of people's lives at that time." But now that we are in the 21st century, we are still entangled in the creation of classical music, and we cannot surpass Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. And to be honest. At present, classical music is not in (4) ± dǐng (4) ± diǎn (4) ± small (4) ± said, .▼.∨os_ (); It's mainstream. The reason why there is no way to surpass them in the same field is not because there are no great classical music composers now, but because symphony lovers, because they appreciate the changes in their spleen and stomach, they are more inclined to listen to famous classical music works than to listen to newly composed symphonies, and in addition, it is difficult for each genre to innovate and break through in terms of technique after it has matured. This leads to the situation in question. But I feel that I can create my own field, and my idea is to combine classical music and electronic music to reach more young listeners with symphonic music. Approaching the symphony, it is impossible to do this diǎn in obscure classical symphonies. And I think it's also the future of the modern symphony. ”
Liao Dongneng didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to think so far and be more ambitious. I feel that I really underestimate this boy-looking boy, who is not only talented but also has ideas. And his future will definitely be the pride of the play, Liao Dongneng smiled with relief, "It's good that you have a clear goal." It doesn't matter if you're right or not, if you do it to the extreme, you're bound to achieve something, well, now you can say what you want. For a school like Shangju, which has a fairly open learning atmosphere and advocates insisting on individuality, Cheng Xiaoyu's deviant ideas will be encouraged if he has the strength, but assuming that Cheng Xiaoyu is in the alto, it is estimated that he will be straightened out by the teacher anyway.
Cheng Xiaoyu paused and said to Liao Dongneng: "I ask that the principal violin who plays this concerto must be Pei Yanchen. ”
"Yo? Pei Yanchen! School flowers! No wonder! This song was made especially for her, right? Liao Dongneng, as the vice dean, of course knows that Pei Yanchen, who has won two consecutive terms, is the first time in the history of the Conservatory of Music, he smiled at Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "No wonder it is written so affectionately, no wonder you want to use this story as the background, it seems that you have failed to confess, right?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at this gossipy dean with black lines on his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Vice Dean Liao, this matter has nothing to do with you, right?" ”
Liao Dongneng smiled and said, "As a student of our conservatory, of course, I have the responsibility to care about the physical and mental health of each student. Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's collapsed face, Liao Dong could think of his student days, and said comfortingly, "Don't be discouraged, with your talent, you will definitely have a chance to catch up with the school flower!" I want to be with your wife back then."
Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but interrupt Liao Dongneng and said, "Vice Dean Liao, Pei Yanchen and I really don't have anything, you want to be crooked!" ”
Liao Dong couldn't admit it when he saw Cheng Xiaoyu dead, thinking that he just couldn't pull it off, but he didn't say much, shook his head and said, "I want to tell you an inspirational story, but you don't want to listen to it, okay, let's take a look at your inspiration for creating this violin concerto!" ”
"My mother used to sing Yue Opera, and the storyline is quite similar." Cheng Xiaoyuyun said lightly.
Liao Dongneng put away his smile and could only be speechless.
Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu say this, Liao Dongneng stopped asking about the source of inspiration for the creation of this violin concerto, and discussed with Cheng Xiaoyu why there is such a big gap between Chinese folk music and Western music.
Realistically speaking, ancient Chinese musicians were very, very good. And the reasons why the mainstream of world music is in the hands of Westerners are very complex.
Subjectively, the ancient Chinese hierarchy of etiquette suppressed the development space of big band ensembles, making monophonic music the absolute mainstream. Objectively, Chinese folk instruments are not suitable for ensemble performance, but more suitable for solo performance. In music theory, there was no in-depth study of harmony, and the twelve equal temperaments were ignored, and ancient Chinese musicians were unable to write music in this form of large-scale instrumental ensembles. But the most important thing is that most of the Chinese folk music has been lost.
The two discussed the legal system to the inheritance, and then to the musical instrument.
In the end, Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Huaxia's set of etiquette is unreasonable, because it is made from the perspective of "etiquette", and the acoustic effect is not considered at all. The orthodox view of music of the ancients is the concept of politics, and "Music Notes" is not about music, but about politics. As for the loss of Lile or something, I'm not disappointed. The court music declined as early as the Han and Tang dynasties, and it was just a symbol. But unfortunately, Chinese music is still advocating political correctness. ”
Liao Dongneng had to sigh that this student had a keen mind and was very knowledgeable, sighed and looked at the table below, it was almost a diǎn clock, and said to Cheng Xiaoyu, "With a student like you, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, hurry up and eat!" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu diǎn head, when he walked out of the office, Liao Dongneng said, "Although I can promise you to let Pei Yanchen be the first consideration, but her level must be reached, after all, the New Year's Day concert is not a child's play." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu knew that Pei Yanchen's level was good, so he said, "No problem." ”
"Then you tell her to come to me the next afternoon." Liao Dongneng smiled and said, this is also his kindness, so that Cheng Xiaoyu can have more opportunities to contact the person of his dreams.
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Dean Liao, you want someone else to go to inform her." And don't sue her, let her be the chief is a condition I put forward. ”
Liao Dong was surprised by Cheng Xiaoyu's silent dedication, and said, "I didn't see that you are still a seed of infatuation!" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to explain so much, even if he did, this gossipy and approachable vice president wouldn't believe it, so he told him again, "Don't tell her!" Dean Liao. ”
Liao Dongneng smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and eat!" I'm not going to sue her. ”
