After listening to Nian Xiaobai's introduction, Mr. Chen nodded with satisfaction, but said with a smile, "Let me correct it, as early as 1556, in the book "Music Digest" published in Lyon, France, there was a record of the violin, and the violin spread all over Europe at that time, so the appearance of the violin has been almost 500 years now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As for Paganini's status in the music industry, I don't have a problem with that. ”

Nian Xiaobai's face turned red, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open from outside.

Fu Xiaoya poked her head in, smiled at the three men in the room, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Chang Kai turned his head and replied with a smile, "What about talking about music, have you learned to make tea?" ”

Fu Xiaoya shook her head, "No, it's so difficult to learn......"

Teacher Chen realized that he had snubbed her, so he proposed to Chang Kai and Nian Xiaobai, "Let's go out and taste the tea she made first?" ”

Chang Kai nodded in agreement, and was the first to stand up.

Nian Xiaobai couldn't help but glance at the stereo a few meters away, and only got up reluctantly later, he thought that Mr. Chen would turn on the stereo and turn down the sound of the stereo as background music.

But Mr. Chen didn't do this, but casually put the remote control on the cabinet and walked out after him.

Chang Kai and the others sat down again according to the original position.

After drinking the tea poured by Fu Xiaoya, Teacher Chen re-held the pot and said, "Paganini, formerly known as Niccolò Paganini, was an Italian violinist and composer, born in 1782 and died on May 27, 1840, at the age of 58. A month after his death, the First Opium War began between China and Britain. And four years after his death, another great artist, Sarasati, was born in a poor family in Spain. ”

"Sarasati?" Chang Kai repeated the name with some puzzlement.

"Sarasati is the composer of the Song of the Wanderer, and he is considered by his contemporaries to be the finest violin performer, if not one; Of course, contemporaries also called it 'Paganini at the end of the century'. So, if he and Paganini pk, he probably can only lose to the latter! Teacher Chen explained with a smile.

Chang Kai smiled and thought to himself, "The Song of the Wanderer is so shocking, what about Paganini's performance?" ”

Teacher Chen refilled the teacups of several people and continued, "Engels once said in the Dialectics of Nature, 'The hand is not only an organ of labor, but also a product of labor. 'In the process of labor, human skill is becoming more and more perfect, and the perfect examples in his mind are the oil paintings of the master Raphael, the sculptor Thorwaldson, and the violinist Paganini......"

Chang Kai and Nian Xiaobai listened quietly, but Fu Xiaoya couldn't help but ask, "Engels and this Nini are also contemporaries, right?" Have they met? Or rather, did Engels see his performance? ”

"Engels has not seen his performance, I can only say that there is a certain possibility. If you meet, it's almost impossible! Engels was born in 1820, when Paganini was already a celebrity in Europe, and he was just a merchant's child, how could they intersect? Even when Engels saw Paganini as a child, he was afraid that he would be frightened and cry by his appearance, right? ”

"Paganini looks so ugly?"

"Yes, he was born with a devilish face, a hideous face, a sharp side profile, a hooked nose that occupies the main part of the face, a flat mouth, a long, pointed chin thrown forward, a hairy face, long shoulder-length hair, and a pair of deep-set twinkling eyes. When he played, he was agitated and drunk, and his attackers said that he had sold his soul to the devil, and that the devil possessed him and secretly helped him in the performance. Rumor has it that his strings were made from the intestines of his dead mistress, and that the overtones he played were the screams of his mistress's ghost attached to the strings; It is also said that he has sold his soul to the devil, and that he plays not the sound of his harp, but the sound of the devil. And 'The Devil's Laughter' became the title of the 13th piece of his "24 Caprice". ”

After passing through Mr. Chen, Chang Kai had a better understanding of this violin master, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Chen just said that there is a record of 'Devil's Smile'?" ”

"'The Devil's Smile' is just one of the songs, but the title of the album is 'The Devil's Trill.'" Mr. Chen corrected his statement and continued, "In the music world, there is a recognized law, 'Immortal greatness can only be attained by composers.'" But Paganini broke this shackle, and he won praise not only for the many famous pieces he composed, but for his performance. His works and playing techniques have impressed almost all European artists, such as Stendhal, Balzac, Megne, Alexandre Dumas, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, etc., who have been thrilled by his performances. He was deeply inspired and influenced by the creations and performances of Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Berlioz, Rachmanilov and others. When Paganini died, Liszt wrote in his obituary with infinite grief, 'I have no hesitation in saying that there will never be a second Paganini.' ’”

Nian Xiaobai took over Mr. Chen's words and said with a smile, "Didn't there be 'Paganini at the end of the century' and 'Paganini alive' later?" ”

"But Paganini's playing skills are unparalleled! There are many legends about his amazing violin playing skills, but the most 'classic' is that he deliberately broke one or two strings in order to show off his skills during a performance, and even then he was able to pull the piece down in its entirety with ease, without any repercussions. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge about violin and Paganini's violin music knows that this is impossible, but such a legend is not unfounded, for he did play the whole piece on two strings or even one. Also when he was a court musician, he played "Scenes of Love" for Napoleon's sister, the Duchess of Bachocchi, in which he used only two strings, the highest E for women and the lowest G for men. He alternates the two strings, and the music is both rigid and soft, showing a ******** scene. This funny rhyme, which resembles a couple's conversation, also made the duchess faint with excitement on the spot. ”

Nian Xiaobai immediately said, "In that "The Devil's Trill", there is also this one, right?" I can't wait! ”

Fu Xiaoya and Chang Kai also chimed in, "Teacher Chen, go play music!" I'm also curious. ”
