Chapter 844: Questioning

The next day, something happened that made Sun Yun even more disappointed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, the entertainment page of Xiangjiang's "Jiangdao Times", where a middle-aged man surnamed Hua works, published a signed commentator's article questioning Sun Yun and his upcoming comeback concert.

The article writes.

…… On October 10th, Mr. Sun Yun, a famous pianist and conductor who has disappeared from the Xiangjiang classical music scene and the world classical music scene for ten years due to illness, will hold his first comeback concert.

The author went to visit with the dual mentality of a music fan and a reporter, and even the mentality of a music fan is more than that of a reporter, however...... However, the results of the visit shocked the author.

After careful consideration, the author decided to make all this public.

As music fans know, ten years ago, due to the extremely rare "idiopathic upper limb localized dystonia", Mr. Sun Yun was forced to interrupt his thriving career as a professional performer, leaving the classical music stage in disgrace to begin his career as a conductor and a long recovery treatment. At the beginning of this year, Professor Kent of the world-renowned neurology authority and country D used the latest methods of combining Western medicine and Chinese medicine to treat him, and this strange disease that had plagued Mr. Sun Yun for ten years was finally cured. The author believes that every classical music fan in Hong Kong will be happy to hear this news.

As a pianist, Mr. Sun Yun has a large number of loyal fans in the Xiangjiang classical music scene, and his physical condition has always affected the hearts of every music fan, including the author.

After recovering, Mr. Sun Yun decided to hold two comeback concerts to officially announce his comeback after half a year of restorative practice. Before visiting the rehearsals, I was as happy as other Heung Kong music fans were at this decision.

The Hong Kong classical music scene urgently needs a great performer like Mr. Sun Yun!

However...... After visiting Mr. Sun Yun's rehearsals, the author's firm confidence was shaken. The Mr. Sun Yun we used to know, the great pianist who could clearly reproduce Beethoven's perseverance and tenacity on stage, accurately replicate Tchaikovsky's magnificent and romantic style, and depict Chopin's delicate and pure temperament vividly - is gone!

Yes friends, you read that right!

Mr. Sun Yun, the grand pianist who used to make all Xiangjiang classical music fans worship him, has completely disappeared in front of several of our reporters who jointly visited the rehearsal!

Disappear without a trace!

When we visited, Mr. Sun Yun was rehearsing one of his best pieces with the Hong Kong Festival Orchestra, Tchaikovsky's most famous Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, which is one of Mr. Sun's most famous works. Ten years ago, Mr. Sun Yun played this piece of music, which brought us full of emotion and endless shock, and all the audience of every concert could feel the blazing passion and surging power from Mr. Sun Yun's performance...... and the magnificence of Russian music. But this time, we only heard the sound of the piano.

Only the sound of the piano -- this is the first and last impression left by Mr. Sun Yun's current performance on all the reporters who went to visit.

Except that the piano was ringing, which was played meticulously according to the score, we could not hear anything else. Those musical statements and interpretations that were deeply engraved in the sound of the piano ten years ago and belonged to Mr. Sun Yun with great personal characteristics and personal charm have now disappeared completely.

Perhaps this statement is biased, in fact, we can still hear some fragmentary but fragmented statements in Mr. Sun Yun's performance, and some momentary glimpses can even evoke endless memories for us music fans, which belong to Mr. Sun Yun's natural performance. But for a music fan like me, I'd rather Mr. Sun Yun's performance be a clean blank sheet of paper, rather than being stained with ink spots like now, but people can't see what is written and painted on it at all.

So the author would rather say that it has disappeared cleanly, and there is nothing left. Perhaps using such a statement to describe it, the author's heart will not be faintly tingling.

Well, at this point, I don't know how to proceed.

Did you harshly criticize and scold Mr. Sun Yun? For a great musician who has just recovered from a decade of illness, such an attitude is obviously excessive. But...... An Zhiruosu's concealment of such a situation, the author asked himself that he could not do it either.

As a journalist in the media, I am responsible for bridging the gap between musicians, musicians, and music fans, and I can't keep a secret about what I've seen and heard, which would be another kind of pain on top of my pain. The two are superimposed, and the author will be in pain.

I had been eagerly awaiting the start of those two comeback concerts, because they would announce the return of a great pianist. Now, however, I am deeply worried about the start of these two concerts. Perhaps, that will bring the greatest pianist of all time to the Hong Kong classical music scene The ultimate Waterloo of his career?

The author can't judge.

……

This article written by a middle-aged man surnamed Hua is quite gentle in terms of choice of words and sentences, and there is even a little sensationalism between the lines, but no matter how careful he is, this article is indeed the "first shot" to question Mr. Sun Yun.

This point is not something that can be covered up by the sensationalism in the article and the middle-aged man surnamed Hua who claims to be a music fan.

Subsequently, the articles of the tall and thin young man and the yellow fat man were published successively.

Compared with the article of the middle-aged man surnamed Hua, the words of the tall and thin young man are much sharper.

“…… The author will never deny or deny Mr. Sun Yun's past historical achievements, but after visiting Mr. Sun Yun's rehearsals, the author has some doubts in his heart. ”

"There are only four days to go before the comeback concert will be held, but will Mr. Sun Yun's current situation be able to support these two concerts? This is one of them. ”

Second, how does Mr. Sun Yun explain his current situation? Is this a metamorphosis in the style that the broker is talking about, or is it inadequate? Or is Mr. Sun Yun in a hurry to make a comeback because he is not fully prepared? If that's the case, is this just looking out for yourself and the interests of the fans? ”

Third, the author earnestly asks again, Mr. Sun Yun's ten-year chronic illness...... Is it really completely healed? ”

Such an article brings a relatively strong atmosphere of questioning.

Huang Fatzi's article is the most poignant.

"After returning from the visit, there is a question that the author has been looking for answers, why do we in the Xiangjiang classical music scene and Xiangjiang classical music fans still miss a pianist who is obviously outdated? Is it because he has brought us joy and glory? ”

With this kind of question, the author launched some exploration and thinking.

“…… Because of the above reasons, the author is very skeptical that it is possible for Mr. Sun Yun to return to the original trajectory, and in the author's opinion, the era belonging to Mr. Sun Yun has passed. The author believes that even if Mr. Sun Yun completely recovers his state one day and no longer appears in front of everyone as a monotonous and boring playing machine, his achievements in piano performance will end there. ”

"Therefore, the author firmly believes that such an outdated performer is not needed by us in the Xiangjiang classical music scene and Xiangjiang classical music fans!"

……

Within a day, three veteran classical music journalists published such questioning articles in succession, which immediately set off a wave in the classical music scene in Xiangjiang.
