Chapter 217: Shocking
Sun Yun's introduction was very detailed and clear, but Ye Zi could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this last sentence.
Factions are really boring stuff after all. The so-called factional struggle is, in the final analysis, a struggle for an orthodox position.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the relationship between the F department and Beethoven is also very close. Strictly speaking, the F line can even be regarded as another Beethoven lineage.
However, it is precisely because of this that Vienna and the F department have always looked at each other at a different pace.
You must know that Liszt is also a descendant of Beethoven, and like Leshetitsky, he is also a disciple of Czerny. However, Liszt is known as the "king of the piano" of a generation of grandmasters, and Czerny's strength is only teaching, except for etudes, there are few works, and his reputation and status in the history of Western music are far below Liszt.
The difference between the two is very obvious.
Czerny's influence was great. It is no exaggeration to say that he and his disciple Leshetitsky laid the foundation for modern piano playing. It is precisely because of their excellent teaching ability that they have cultivated generations of pianists that modern piano performance has become so rich and beautiful.
It is no exaggeration to call these two grandmasters of piano education.
But the problem is that it is certainly easier to gain fame and status by teaching than by playing. Therefore, although Liszt is a mess in teaching, his position in the history of music is incomparable to that of the first two.
The title of "King of Pianos" is not something that any pianist can get. There are only two performers in the Western music world who can truly be called Wang Chengshen, one is the violinist Paganini, who is known as the "God of the Violin", and the other is the "King of the Piano" Liszt.
Their attainments in violin and piano have transcended their time and reached the pinnacle. Until today. It is still widely sung.
Although Segovia is also known as the "Emperor of the Guitar", in the Western classical music scene, the influence of the classical guitar is still a little smaller, and it cannot be compared with the piano and the violin after the instrument. Segovia's honorific title of "Emperor of the Guitar" is inevitably a little less convincing than the "God of the Violin" and the "King of the Piano".
In terms of works, Liszt threw off the countless streets of Cherny and Leschetitsky. Twelve super technique etudes alone. It is already a dazzling pearl in the piano repertoire. What's more, Liszt also pioneered the musical genre of symphonic poetry, and his symphonic works are equally unconventional.
Based on the above situation, we can know that Liszt, who is also a disciple of Beethoven, has a far more important position in the history of music than Czerny, which makes the disciples of the Vienna family, who have a large number of families, a huge heritage, and occupy a dominant position in the modern international music scene, very dissatisfied.
Therefore, of course, they will shout angrily, desperately looking down on the inheritance of the F line.
But in fact, the battle between the Vienna system and the F system is a bit incompatible.
The Viennese pretend to be orthodox, and their greatest emphasis is on the musicality of their works. And the F is one line. Because they originated from the two piano masters, Chopin and Liszt, they paid more attention to the technical performance of the performance.
It's actually two sides of the same coin. To put it nicely, this is a difference in musical philosophy. But in the eyes of the factions, this is a life-and-death struggle.
In the case of the so-called three factions being juxtaposed, neither the Vienna faction nor the F faction will compete with the R faction. Although the strength of the R series has continued to increase in modern times, R pianists such as Kissin have been active in the international music scene and have achieved remarkable results. But they are still at a disadvantage compared to the Beethoven lineage, which is widely recognized as the orthodox piano legacy. So Vienna's opponent is only the F-line. It can only be F-series.
The stance and starting point are different, but everyone wants to be the boss. Then it is not surprising that they do not like each other and belittle each other.
Ye Zi would never get involved in such a boring thing. For Ye Zi, as long as he can truly convey his thoughts and emotions, it doesn't matter what kind of performance faction, it is easy to use.
There was silence in the living room for a while. Each of the three was digesting and chewing on the contents.
With a smile, Sun Yun waved his hand: "Xiao Yezi, you can just hear this, don't take it to heart." ”
"Yes, teacher. I understand. Ye Zi nodded.
That's for the best.
If he really had to choose between the two teachers, it would be difficult for him to do it.
Cai Qingde took a sip of water and said softly: "Xiao Yezi, I told you this, just to let you know that in the circle of classical music, factional disputes are everywhere. The same is true for the classical guitar you are learning. ”
"You can ignore the piano faction, but in the future, you will definitely face the same problem with classical guitar. I think you should know that there is no right or wrong thing about the so-called factions. The most important thing is to see how you choose and choose. ”
"But no matter what faction you choose in the future, one thing I want to stress to you is that you should never forget the fundamentals of music."
"Liszt is known as the 'King of the Piano' because of his virtuosity, but his works are not only about technique, but also have a deep humanistic background and core ideas. That's the most important thing. ”
"I hope that at all times, you can remember this clearly, and don't be blinded by those so-called tricks."
In the end, Cai Qingde's expression became stern.
Ye Zi got up and replied, "Yes, Sir." ”
"Sit down, sit down," Cai Qingde's expression relaxed, and he waved his hand again: "Just relax at home, I don't want another Sun Yun." ”
Ye Zi sat down with a smile.
"By the way, Xiaoyun, it's just right that you don't go back to Shencheng for the New Year this year." After chatting for a while, Cai Qingde suddenly remembered something: "Next month, Mr. Li invited the Kent professor from country G to give a lecture at St. Mary's, and I will make an appointment and ask him to help you check again to see if there is any possibility of recovery." ”
"Sir," Sun Yun frowned slightly: "It's been so many years, I'm afraid it's ......"
"I know, I know." Cai Qingde said anxiously, and persuaded again: "But...... It's a rare opportunity! It wouldn't hurt to check it again anyway, at most it would be as it was, but what if Professor Kent had a new solution? ”
"Then ......" Sun Yun hesitated for a long time, then nodded and agreed: "Okay then, thank you, Sir." ”
"You don't have to thank me." Cai Qingde shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Hope...... I hope that Professor Kent will make new progress in his research, alas! ”
Speaking of these, the old man's face was full of loneliness.
Sun Yun in turn comforted the old man: "Uncle, it's been so many years, and I've long been used to it. You see, aren't I all good now? ”
"What a ......"
Cai Qingde forcibly resisted the foul words blurted out, stood up and said excitedly: "What's good! How many decades can a pianist have? Yes? An extraordinary genius pianist and a genius conductor has made it look like this, okay? You're just in your early forties, and you're in the prime of life, can I not be in a hurry? ”
Sun Yun also stood up and smiled calmly: "Uncle, sit down." You also know that some things are not subject to human will, and we can only face reality. ”
Cai Qingde sat down and sighed helplessly: "Yes, I also know this." But...... Alas! ”
There was silence in the living room.
"Sir, teacher, this ...... What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it? Ye Zi asked cautiously.
From the conversation between Cai Qingde and Sun Yun just now, Ye Zi can be sure that something must have happened to his teacher that people can't bear to look at directly. It should be some kind of disease, otherwise, Cai Qingde would not have specifically mentioned the Professor Kent.
Sun Yun turned to face Ye Zi and smiled gently: "It's not a big deal, Xiao Yezi, you don't have to worry about this." ”
"Sun Yun, Ye Zi is your personal disciple, he has the right to know this, what are you hiding from him? Yes? Maybe Xiao Yezi knows what ancestral secret recipe or something like that, and it will be effective for you? Cai Qingde said in a deep voice.
Ye Zi hurriedly asked, "Teacher, are you sick?" What kind of disease? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's old, you don't have to worry." Sun Yun still has a calm attitude.
Cai Qingde was anxious: "If you don't say it, I will say it." ”
"Sir, is the teacher very sick?" Ye Zi asked again.
Cai Qingde shook his head: "Xiao Yezi, you are wrong, it's not just Yan Zhan, but Yan Zhan Zhòng to ruin Sun Yun's career prospects." Otherwise, he would still be active in the international music scene. ”
"Ten years ago, when Sun Yun was famous, he had a very strange problem, he couldn't control his strength when playing the piano. At first, this situation occurred occasionally, but then it gradually worsened, and the number of occurrences became more and more frequent. ”
"After going to the hospital for examination, I learned that he was suffering from a special occupational disease, the scientific name is 'idiopathic upper limb localized dystonia'."
"It's this problem that ruined Sun Yun's career as a pianist." (To be continued.) )
ps:ps: The three major factions are recognized as zài, but this understanding in the text is only the author's personal understanding, and it has not and will not be further developed. This is purely the words of a family, speculating on the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Just mention such a thing, don't argue or discuss, hehe.
