Chapter 883: Please Note It's Classical, Not Classic (Medium)
"You don't have to stress the difference between classical and classic, in our minds classical music should be classic/music. In the public's understanding www.biquge.info classical music appears as classical music. ”
"Xiao Yezi, you can't deny this, right?"
This time, Huang Baiwen was the first to jump out.
As a fanatical classical music school, Huang Baiwen will never tolerate anyone to tarnish the sanctity of classical music, even if it is just a word difference. However, in terms of title, he naturally followed Lin Liming's name for Ye Zi.
That's a lot of fun.
Ye Zi nodded and smiled: "Uncle Wen, what you said is some visible facts, of course I won't deny it with my eyes closed." But...... I don't know Uncle Wen, have you ever verified the scope of the 'public' you are talking about? ”
Huang Baiwen changed his name, and Ye Zi's attitude followed by the close title of "Uncle Wen". However, although the attitude is a lot closer, the content of Ye Zi's words is not very polite.
"I've checked some information."
"In the European countries where classical music originated, the proportion of this 'public' accounts for about 25% of the total population, and the highest can reach 40%, but only a few countries can reach such a proportion; The United States is relatively close to Europe, but in Asia, the proportion will drop sharply to only about 10%, and the highest is only 20%; The proportion in Africa will be much lower, and Oceania will be basically the same as in Europe and the United States, slightly lower. ”
"This is a relatively authoritative survey source, and I also found it from Sir Cai Qingde for a long time, from a UNESCO investigation report. Uncle Wen, don't you feel anything from this ratio? Compared to pop music, which generally accounts for more than 70%, classical music can only be regarded as a very niche genre. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Zi paused.
This ratio comes from an investigation report that Ye Zi saw on the Internet in his previous life, and the intention of this report is also to break the "sacred and noble" aura that has been shrouded in classical music.
I borrowed it here and it was just right.
……
"What is the problem of proportion? In my opinion, this can only show that classical music is indeed classic/music, and the music will be high and low. Li Liang Fengxiu said in a cold but proud tone.
She doesn't have any doubts about the information that Ye Zi said, in this circle of classical music, Li Liang Fengxiu is also very familiar with these situations, but she is not very clear about this specific ratio. But the niche nature of classical music, Li Liang Fengxiu is clear.
"Sister Fengxiu, I really don't understand your logic," Ye Zi shook his head and smiled: "What most people don't understand, you say it's rare, it's worth it, that's a bit reasonable, it's rare and expensive, but what most people don't understand, you say it's 'classic', the cause and effect relationship in between...... Can you please help me sort it out? It's all high and low, how can it become a classic? Could it be that the key factor in becoming a classic is that people can't understand it? ”
When it came to the real confrontation, Ye Zi automatically changed "Ms. Fengxiu" back to "Sister Fengxiu", and Li Liang Fengxiu was really awkward and awkward to hear. She can't say anything yet, who told her to give Ye Zi the right to "whatever you want to call it"?
Li Liang Fengxiu avoided answering Ye Zi's question, which was extremely difficult to explain: "Little guy, can you deny the classicism of classical music?" ”
After Huang Baiwen's name for Ye Zi changed, of course Li Liang Fengxiu would not continue to call him "Mr. Ye Zi", which would be too exalting Ye Zi. However, she will definitely not be as close to Huang Baiwen and Lin Liming as "Little Yezi", so the neutral term "little guy" is more appropriate.
Regarding Li Liang Fengxiu's question, Ye Zi already had the answer in his heart.
"For me, a lot of classical music is classic enough, and I don't deny that. But for the vast majority of the general public who don't understand classical music, they are likely to recognize the classics of the Beatles, and they will also recognize the classics of MJ's works. ”
"Sister Fengxiu, if the general public doesn't understand and disapprove of the work, how can its classicity be reflected?"
Ye Zi used the psychology of the public to deal with it, because at some point, he himself had the same idea. Classical music is something he loves, but this does not mean that Ye Zi will unconditionally accept all classical music works and turn himself into an NC fan of classical music, not to mention treating all classical music works as classics.
In Ye Zi's heart, classical music is as important as pop music, and this is what he wants to tell everyone through this show today.
As for whether Li Liang Fengxiu and Huang Baiwen, fanatical fans of classical music, can accept such a statement, Ye Zicai will not care.
……
Steven raised the microphone in his hand: "Mr. Ye Zi, hmm...... I know your English name is Bruce, can I call you Bruce? ”
Of course, Ye Zi would not object.
"Bruce, I think you've made a small mistake by citing all of the popular classics that you've cited are modern things, and they haven't stood the test of time. I think that judging whether a work is classic or not, the public does not matter, only time can best and accurately test, if these works can still be sung a hundred years later, then these works can really be called classics. ”
"Bruce, what do you think?"
Although he is questioning Ye Zi's statement, Steven's attitude is an attitude of real discussion and discussion, and he is by no means aggressive.
"Mr. Steven, I partially agree with you," Ye Zi smiled slightly, "It does take time to truly confirm the classicality of the work, and I think you are right in saying this." But I have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Steven to answer for me. ”
"Composers such as Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and Britten have only been dead for a dozen years, and their works have only been in circulation for twenty or thirty years at most, but the classical music world has already regarded their works as classics during their lifetimes, which is ...... What kind of standards are used for inspection and validation? ”
"This ......," Steven was momentarily speechless.
He couldn't deny what Ye Zi said, it was the truth. These modern composers all died around '75 and '76, but their works were considered classics in the classical music scene very early, or rather, ...... Praise for the classics. After staying in this circle for more than ten years, Steven knows very well about many things in the classical music world, which of the works of these composers Ye Zi just mentioned can be worthy of the label of "classic", and which ones are just indiscriminate, he is also very clear in his heart.
But...... Externally, these composers are masters, and their works are basically all classics – the classical music scene needs such modern composers and modern classics. Such a fact made Steven unable to argue with Ye Zi, he was afraid that Ye Zi would not be able to help but say all this in front of the audience watching the show in front of the TV.
In this way, something big will happen!
