(Happy New Year, friends!! The Year of the Monkey is auspicious!!

"Grandmaster? Master, you are so exalting me, how can I have this possibility! Ye Zi smiled bitterly.

When he first got the system, Xiao Qi showed him the difficulty of the grandmaster-level work, and at that time, Ye Zi slandered the grandmasters as inhuman.

Unexpectedly, now, Segovia actually pinned his hopes on him as the first classical guitar virtuoso in history, which is really too much...... What's that?

The master blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course you don't have this qualification now, but you will ...... in the future That's hard to say. ”

"My child, you have such a good talent for playing and have laid such a solid foundation, don't you want to see how far you can go on this road?"

"Don't forget, there is me, and Carkashi, and Tarrega, and many, many classical guitar masters will stand behind you to support you, and we will be your most solid backing."

"Don't be in a hurry to deny yourself, my child, please...... Give it a try! ”

The master's face was full of pleading.

Ye Zi was able to understand the master's mood.

By the time they were alive, whether it was Carcasi, Tarrega or Segovia, they had already climbed to the highest point of classical guitar playing at the time. But they all know very well that this is far from the top.

Carkashi's playing skills are unparalleled, but his playing is too mechanical and lacks that shuddering soul power. This is evident from his classical guitar tutorials.

This extremely classic set of advanced mode tutorials has greatly influenced the classical guitar teaching for nearly 100 years after him, and it can be called a model in the tutorial. But the drawbacks of this tutorial are also obvious, as Carcassi sacrifices the musicality of these works in the tutorial in order to rationalize the playing technique.

A virtuoso is not a virtuoso alone. So Carcasi could only become a Czerny and Kaisai in the field of classical guitar - a master player and educator. (PS: Czerny, piano pedagogue.) Kaisai: Violin educator. ）

Tarrega has been hailed as the "savior of classical guitar". Prestige is revered. His work is also excellent, and it is a dazzling pearl of classical guitar repertoire. "Memories of the Alhambra" is one of his masterpieces.

But Tarrega's boycott of big concerts, and his penchant for holding small chamber concerts with friends, greatly weakened his influence in the classical guitar world.

He's a good guy. He is an excellent composer and an outstanding performer. But without the domineering Tarrega, he can only stop at the master classical guitarist.

As for Segovia, he is the closest classical guitar master ever to the grandmaster and occupies a pivotal place in the history of classical guitar.

He greatly elevated the classical guitar to the status of the classical music industry. As a result, the classical guitar is one of the three major musical instruments in the world, and guitar teaching has spread all over the major conservatories, becoming one of the most important faculties. (PS: The other two of the three major instruments are the piano and the violin)

His adaptations of classical guitar works have become the repertoire of classical guitarists, such as "Chakong", "Debussy's Hymn" and so on.

Because of his promotion and early use, the loud nylon strings gradually replaced the hundreds of years of sheep intestine strings, and the problem of the low volume of the classical guitar was improved.

He also brought out countless students, and these classical guitarists who are active in the music scene today. Almost all of them have been instructed and influenced by him.

However, without this "but", Segovia would have succeeded, and unfortunately this "but" will still be there. There are two reasons why Segovia ultimately failed to reach that summit and become the first virtuoso in the history of classical guitar.

First, there was an over-recording of classical guitar performances. Second, it is too busy to perform concerts. In fact, these two points boil down to one thing, that is, Segovia has played too much in his life.

Since the twenties of the twentieth century, Segovia has been recording a large number of albums of classical guitar performances. With the use of nylon strings, this recording became more frequent.

It is recorded that there were almost more than 100 concerts a year in Segovia, even at the age of ninety-three a year before his death. That year, he still had a staggering fifty performances. By the time he was 70 years old, he had amassed a staggering number of more than 3,000 performances. Not to mention that he has been on TV, holding master classes, and many other things.

Segovia's purpose in doing this was to better and more widely spread the word about classical guitar, for which he fought all his life, and also achieved the effect he wanted. But too many recordings and performances left him with little time to stop and think about precipitation. He galloped forward like a wild horse that had escaped its ropes. It broke new ground for classical guitar.

But what he lost was the possibility of becoming a grandmaster himself. Without thinking and precipitation, it is impossible to become a true grandmaster.

If Segovia had been born in the current era, he would no longer have had to devote himself to the promotion of classical guitar, and would have had enough time to slowly accumulate and accumulate thoughts, and with his unparalleled talent, he would probably have become a true virtuoso.

A thin line, a world of difference!

Pity!!!

Ye Zi can fully understand Segovia's "grudge" against the grandmaster, but he hopes to do it himself?

It's better to save it.

That's really not something people can do!

Once the Grandmaster is the goal, all of Ye Zi's Qiqi will devote themselves to this "great and noble" mission, painfully struggling between self-affirmation and self-denial, just to find the slightest possibility of breakthrough.

It doesn't always work out!

The possibility of failure is far greater than the possibility of success!

And once he can't break through, that feeling of death will burn him to ashes!

I hope that in the future, Ye Zi's proper master will not do it, what kind of play will break through the realm of grandmasters, what kind of jokes!

But in the face of Segovia's blazing eyes, pleading expression, and direct refusal, Ye Zi was still unable to speak.

"Master, I appreciate the importance you have shown me, but don't you think it's a bit too early to say this?" Ye Zi also said earnestly.

"To be able to become a grandmaster, I believe that any professional performer will have such expectations, and I will do the same. But Master, we have only started our first class today, and we don't know where the road ahead will take. It's not necessarily a good idea to set too high goals now. ”

"Master, what do you think?"

Ye Zi's words are reasonable.

"Okay my boy, then...... More on that later. Segovia nodded silently, the spark in her eyes darkening. He could know the words that Ye Zi had never said in his heart.

His heart trembled slightly, Ye Zi didn't want to disappoint this old man, even if the one in front of him was just a projection synthesized by the system.

Segovia's position in Ye Zi's heart is irreplaceable by other classical guitar masters, and he has all the respect of Ye Zi.

"Master, what if...... I mean, if I can step into the ranks of virtuoso before the age of thirty, then I can promise you that I will try to challenge the supreme realm of the grandmaster. ”

Ye Zi sighed and said softly.

Even if it was just to comfort the old man, he could only say this.

Segovia's eyes lit up. Although he also knew that Ye Zi was just comforting himself, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would hold on to it firmly.

Ye Zi doesn't have this idea now, what about the future?

No one knows for sure.

That's enough!

"Well, that's settled, my boy. I will do my best to make sure that you can reach the realm of a master as soon as possible. ”

"You, you have to work hard!" (To be continued.) )
