Chapter 124, Free Heart
When kissing passionately, both of them couldn't control their feelings, but at the critical moment, Yu Xue still stopped and said, "Dongkui is outside, it's not good for us to be like this!" ”
Canglong looked disappointed, and after a few seconds of deep kissing, he stopped his movements: "Marry me, okay?" ”
Yu Xue couldn't react a little, her heart was like a deer, she wanted to agree, but refused: "But I don't want to marry you like this." ”
Canglong nodded: "Whether it is the current appearance or the previous appearance, you are the most beautiful Yu Xue in my heart, of course, I also respect your choice." ”
Yu Xue said movingly: "You weren't ready before, but now I'm not ready, give me some time, I want to be your most beautiful bride!" ”
Although Canglong was a little regretful, he was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Yu Xue, but at this moment, the figure of another person suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little sorry for Yu Xue, but fortunately, Yu Xue didn't see it.
Then the three of them went to a famous restaurant in Warsaw to eat, Wei Dongkui seemed to be preoccupied, it seemed that he was a little jealous when he saw Canglong and Yu Xue so affectionate, maybe it was also because of tomorrow's game.
But Canglong didn't enlighten him, what should be eaten, what should be drunk, for some reason, when they returned to the hotel again, all the media who came to interview were gone, which made Wei Dongkui finally a lot easier, in the piano room of the hotel, Yu Xue and Canglong sat behind Wei Dongkui, listening to him practice the repertoire of tomorrow's competition, focused and engrossed.
waited until Wei Dongkui's practice was over, Canglong didn't express any opinions, until Yu Xue corrected him in a few mistakes, and in the evening Wei Dongkui went back to the room to rest, Yu Xue asked worriedly: "Do you think he can get the first place tomorrow?" Aren't you highly accomplished in music, why don't you point him in the spot? ”
"What do you think he studied music for, and what is music?" Canglong asked rhetorically.
"Everyone has a different opinion, but my understanding of music is to cultivate sentiment, and it is a very happy thing to be a music teacher." Yu Xue said.
"Many musicians who pioneered the era have the shadow of that era, our definition of music, far from being able to be inferior to this profound art, if you have to give it a definition, it is wrong, music is free, it can be happy, it can be heavy, it can be sad, it can be elegant, it can even be cheesy, it lies in what the person who learns music himself feels, and his heart is experiencing what is in music, but in any case, music is free." Canglong said calmly.
"Freedom?" Yu Xue didn't understand.
"The music that a person plays is often something that shows his inner feelings, the best music is natural and free, without any definition, is the most beautiful, so only an unrestrained heart can play the best qin music, which has nothing to do with the definition given by outsiders, whether it is Chopin or Beethoven, or the ancient Chinese Boya and Zhongzi period, their hearts are free." Canglong smiled.
"Then the music you play gives people a sense of heaviness, is it telling others that your heart is not free?" Yu Xue suddenly asked, although she rarely heard Canglong playing the piano, but the sound of Canglong's piano gave people the feeling of heaviness.
"Most people in this world do not have a free heart, many people are bound to their own hearts in a circle demarcated by themselves, and there are also many people who put shackles on their hearts, a free heart can use music to play all emotions, such as Chopin." Canglong paused, "He is really a great musician, and many of his piano songs are not worthy of me to play." ”
"Why?" Yu Xue couldn't imagine that Canglong would have such an evaluation of herself.
"Because my heart is also trapped in the shackles of myself and the world, I will never be able to play the soul given in his piano music, but Wei Dongkui can, but he must surpass himself and liberate his heart, which must be done by himself, this competition is very important to his life, whether he can get the first place or not, he can surpass himself and liberate his inner freedom, and he will definitely become a great musician like Chopin in the future." Canglong said flatly.
Yu Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect Canglong to understand music so deeply, but at this moment Yu Xue felt the pain in Canglong's heart, what he expressed was also what he wanted to do, but for some reason, Canglong couldn't do it, so Wei Dongkui has become Canglong's sustenance.
Yu Xue hugged Canglong painfully, and buried his head deep in his arms, at this moment Yu Xue felt that Canglong was a child, let pity and love, she didn't ask the reason for this, she knew that Canglong wanted to tell her, she would definitely say it, don't say it now, maybe there are some scruples.
Can he really free his heart? Yu Xue thought of her student Wei Dongkui, which was not a heavy shackle for him.
The second day of the competition attracted celebrities from all over the world, and even some great contemporary musicians, in the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, there have been many talented musicians, and also flooded many talented musicians, here can make people climb to the sky, but also can bury a person's life.
No one questioned the fairness of this competition, because the jury is a world-renowned musician, their obsession with music has exceeded the material, there have been several competitions, the first place is suspended, mainly because the jury believes that in those competitions, no one can reach the first standard in their hearts, so they would rather let the first one hang in the air, and will not easily select a first who does not meet the standard in their hearts.
In order of play, Thomson of the United States of the United States first, followed by Lee Jung-hyun of South Korea, Afutieva from Russia and François from France, Wei Dongkui was the last to play.
In the final final, the jury asked for the same piece, the most beautiful Nocturne in F sharp major, among Chopin's many music, and this time there will be no orchestra accompaniment, so they need to show no rendering. Bare. Tone, this kind of assessment is also the most difficult assessment, no matter what the instrument, the loss of accompaniment is very monotonous, only people who can really be called musicians, can be played into fascinating and beautiful music.
Although the questions were difficult for the contestants, everyone seemed to be confident, and the first American player to take the stage, Thomson, began to play after bowing, and then the whole Philharmonic was left with only beautiful sounds.
Thomson's grasp of the rhythm is very subtle, and the tension revealed at the key moment makes everyone on the field follow the music, until the end, everyone is very memorable.
Then the newcomer Lee Jung-hyun was even better, he sat on the piano, as if he was integrated with the keys and the score, and even his breathing was still, and people were afraid that the sound of their breathing would be mixed in and would desecrate the music, until the end, the scene resounded with thunderous applause.
In the following episode, Avtieva showed that her musical attainments were not inferior to those of Lee Jung-hyun, in the grasp of rhythm and integration with the movement, every time she touched the keys, she would reveal an indescribable emotion, as if Chopin was sitting in front of the piano and playing for everyone.
When she finished playing, Wei Dongkui in the background broke out in a cold sweat nervously, he was confident that he would never lose to the previous few people in the grasp of the rhythm, but he couldn't play the emotions in that note, that kind of tension is difficult to replicate, and the previous few have already shown this Nocturne in F sharp major to the fullest.
"You have a lot of potential, come on!" When the name of the next person in the Philharmonic rang, François smiled and cheered Wei Dongkui up, "Believe in yourself!" ”
Wei Dongkui nodded, he was still very moved by François's kindness, a real musician is very pure and simple, they have put all their minds on music, so their hearts are also without variegation, and when interacting with real musicians, they often feel that kind of warmth and kindness from the heart.
Before the appearance, several people have communicated with each other, and there is not much estrangement, and there is not even the awkwardness of nationality, because in their hearts, music has no borders, let alone the so-called high and low, just to come to the Warsaw Philharmonic to play, is the dream of every musician, because this is the hometown of the great musician Chopin.
The moment François's piano sounded, Wei Dongkui had no confidence at all, François's attainments were not worse than those before, but he had more nature, which was definitely not something that could be radiated by long-term training, but that he must have this kind of nature in his heart, and playing the notes would reveal this nature.
"Such beautiful music, this young man's heart has begun to be liberated, and his attainments in the future will definitely not be low." Just when Wei Dongkui lowered his head and was silent, a voice suddenly sounded.
He looked over, only to see Canglong closing his eyes as if he was enjoying it, he wanted to say something, but Canglong made a silent gesture, and after a few minutes, Canglong opened his eyes: "I can hear such music, I have no regrets in this life." ”
Facing Canglong's evaluation of François, Wei Dongkui lowered his head and smiled: "He is more accomplished than me, and your student is afraid that he will lose this time." ”
"Do you know Chopin?" Canglong asked suddenly.
"As a musician, if you don't know Chopin, then what kind of music is there?" Wei Dongkui smiled helplessly.
"Poland is a country that has been divided several times, and Chopin was born in an era when the motherland was partitioned, there was no fairness in the era in which he lived, but his piano music was not melancholy, not only passionate patriotic marches, but also beautiful nocturnes, and cheerful dance music, Chopin loved his homeland deeply, but have you ever thought about why, can he create such different music?" Canglong asked.
Wei Dongkui's face changed, and he fell into deep thought, but he didn't find an answer, in that era, how and what kind of mood should Chopin create a happy repertoire? But he created it, and no one seems to have thought about it, and it has been passed down to future generations and revered.
"Why?" Wei Dongkui couldn't find an answer.
"Because he has a free heart, the country is invaded, although he has grief in his heart, but he regards music as life, because he himself cannot change anything, but his music can transcend war, and be recited to all countries in the world, so that everyone knows that Poland has a Chopin, and it is because of his free heart that his music is not affected by any reality, can drift across the ocean, can cross national borders, and even make the invaders respect him." Canglong said calmly, "And you don't have such a free heart, you are here to prove yourself to your father, not to prove yourself like yourself, when the purpose of music appears, in fact, music itself is not free, you can play Chopin's repertoire, but you will never be able to play your own Chopin!" ”
"Pop your own Chopin?" Wei Dongkui's face was like ashes, and at this moment he felt that he was a fledgling person who could only use the piano, rather than a person who composed music
