Chapter 297: Aria on the G String

Verkina, a beautiful Russian woman with slightly curly blonde hair. Her beauty is different from the subtlety of oriental women, but with a sense of atmosphere and classicism.

At the age of 19 this year, she was fortunate to be selected to participate in this exchange event because of her extraordinary talent. Verkina played the violin well, and she began to learn the violin at the age of seven, and has won several international awards so far, and she is also well-known in the Chai Academy.

Today, she wore a light purple dress, with fair skin and brown eyes, and looked very quiet beauty.

The music she chooses, just like her temperament at the moment, is quiet and timeless.

A leisurely humming violin sound quietly diffuses through the concert hall. It seems to come from the distant past, with a calmness that tells the story, and moisturizes things silently into people's hearts.

It's Bach's "Aria on the G String". This poetic violin work has been recognized as a world famous violin piece for more than 100 years. Although the melody is simple, it is full of beautiful moods, especially the second movement that Verkina is playing now, which is the essence of the whole work. Countless violinists around the world have performed this melody countless times.

It takes a lot of courage to play such a well-known piece in such an exchange event. You must know that the biggest feature of a famous song is that it is widely circulated. Not only the masters have heard it, but also the experts, and even ordinary people have heard it more than once, and they are extremely familiar with it. In this context, even the slightest mistake on the part of the performer will be keenly discovered.

Verkina's snow-white wrist in her left hand rubbed slightly on the golden violin, and her movements were not large, like this quiet song, with the movements of her wrist. A soft melody gradually flowed from the piano.

The wrist of the right hand is extremely stretched, and the bowstring is pulled every time. It's all so soft. There was not a trace of stagnation, and the sound of the piano, which was as traceless as flowing water, flowed softly under this bowstring.

Her face tilted slightly. Leaning against the body, his expression is calm. There is no joy or sorrow, a pair of beautiful brown eyes, staring at a certain point in front of and below the stage. But again it seems to be unfocused. Drift into the depths of time and space.

"It's beautiful, G-string." Listening to Verkina's performance, Chen Siying closed her eyes a little intoxicated.

"Well, not everyone has the courage to play this famous Bach song, this Verkina is very strong." Although Liu Yufan is not a violinist. But I'm also very familiar with this song, and I usually don't listen to those CDs. It's a great piece to listen to when you're relaxing. But listening to Verkina's live version today, it's a completely different feeling.

Looking at Verkina who was completely immersed in the realm of music on the stage, Liu Yufan was also moved by this stretching music, the famous song deserves to be a famous song, although everyone may be more critical of the performer's skills, but as long as the performer has enough skills to interpret it, the power to move people's hearts is huge.

The music is not in a hurry, but slowly floats in the air above the concert hall, like a soft hand, gently soothing people's impetuousness. Listening to this song, the people under the stage fell into deep thought.

The soft sound of the piano seems to come from a distant time and space, ethereal, elegant, and incomparably real, like a warm home, like a peaceful smile on the face of the elderly, which makes people happy.

After a few minutes of playing, everyone felt like they had undergone a baptism of the soul. Although Verkina did not use any accompaniment, but only with this violin, she showed such great artistic charm that by the time she finished playing, she had not yet come out of that beautiful mood. I don't know who took the lead first, and a burst ......of applause changed from sparse to warm, like a little spark, instantly breaking the short silence of the small concert hall!

"What a beautiful tune, it's so quiet, I just listened to it and got distracted."

"Yes, to be able to use a violin, without any accompaniment, to express such a famous song as an aria on the G string to such an extent, this Verkina is really amazing!"

"Alas, tragedy, my brother has been practicing the violin for more than ten years, how can I compare with others, it's like I can't play the violin, alas, I've been hit!"

……

Amid the prolonged applause, Verkina was as quiet as she had just been, bowed to the audience, and slowly walked off the stage with her beloved violin.

Watching Verkina leave, Naumov applauded and showed a satisfied look. This Verkina can be regarded as a well-known performer in the chai courtyard. Although not as well-known as Kozlowski, her violin playing skills is very profound. Yesterday, I was chased by the alto in the piano exchange, and I believe that in today's communication, with her performance, she should be able to maintain the pride of Chai Yuan again.

Liu Yufan and Chen Siying stood at the entrance of the stage, looked at Verkina who came over, and nodded at her with a smile. Good musicians are respectable, and although several people are in different countries and schools, this does not prevent them from appreciating each other.

For the kindness shown by the two people, Verkina also smiled and nodded.

At this moment, the sound of the curtain was heard on the stage again.

"Next, let us use warm applause to invite Chen Siying to bring us the erhu solo "Narrative of Northern Henan", with piano accompaniment, Liu Yufan!" The host dressed in a red evening salute announced the curtain in a sweet voice.

According to the usual practice, it is generally not necessary to report separately as a piano accompanist, but Liu Yufan's performance yesterday was so good that it is no exaggeration to say that he is now a hero in the eyes of the alto teachers and students! Because of this, the host announced his name without the permission of the teacher. And it seems that her improvised idea has also had its due effect.

"Liu Yufan? Isn't this the guy who played the second piano for the goddess Wang Yujia yesterday? Why did you come here again today? But I like it! ”

"Wow, it's really Liu Yufan, I really like his song he'sapirate. Yufan, I love you! ”\

"This Chen Siying is really amazing, she can actually invite Liu Yufan to play an accompaniment for her, alas, when I can also cooperate with this piano genius, it will be cool!"

……

Liu Yufan's appearance actually caused a small commotion. Obviously, Liu Yufan is now slightly influential in alto. Even the judges who were sitting in the front row had a smile on their faces when they saw Liu Yufan appear.

As for Naumov, his eyes were full of appreciation. When he was chatting with Liu Yufan just now, he also came to Liu Yufan here to watch the performance today, but he didn't expect that he would serve as a piano accompanist again. This gave Naumov a small surprise.

"With such good technique, why didn't the school let him play a soloist? It's a pity. Naumov thought to himself.

"Yufan, the charm is not small." Chen Siying, who was walking in front, stood down in the center of the stage, and when she bowed to the audience, she whispered a joke.

"It's Senior Sister, you're very attractive." Liu Yufan nodded at her with a smile, then turned around and sat down in front of the piano on the side of the stage.

In the center of the stage, there was a dark red chair, and Chen Siying walked over to sit on it and adjusted her posture for playing. ..., a white spotlight struck her diagonally. Today's Chen Siying wore a red cardigan jacket with delicate dark patterns, carefully cut to highlight her beautiful figure, and a black wide skirt on the lower body, which added a bit of mystery to it.

The high bun made her reveal a pink neck as elegant as a white swan, and it set off the delicate melon seed face beautifully. Some people say that if you want to identify whether a woman is a beautiful woman, you have to look at her face photo and tie up her long hair. And Chen Siying is undoubtedly a beauty of this kind who has withstood the test, such an outfit makes her a little less naughty and innocent, and more mature and elegant. Even when Liu Yufan saw her for the first time just now, he couldn't help but be surprised by her amazing alternative beauty.

Chen Siying thought about Liu Yufan's somewhat stupid eyes just now, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart. Looking at Liu Yufan, who was sitting in front of the piano and looking at her with a smile, a burst of inexplicable joy quietly surged into her heart.

Different from yesterday's exchange of piano department, most of the exchange repertoire of today's string department is played by some famous foreign string music on the Chai Yuan side, while most of the domestic repertoire is mainly on the alto side. This is mainly because of the instrument. String and plucked instruments such as erhu, sanxian, etc., are basically unique to China, and are rarely studied in foreign conservatories, and some of the pieces are also very authentic Chinese local music, so even if those foreign performers are asked to play, they will not. As for why the alto people don't choose foreign music, to be honest, the strength is indeed inferior to others. If Chinese students learn violin, cello and other musical instruments, they will never reach the world-class level unless they go to a famous foreign university for further study for a period of time.

Nodding to Liu Yufan, Chen Siying immediately turned around and prepared to play. She held the piano pole in her left hand, two fingers as white as spring onions naturally placed on the upper part of the erhu's outer strings, her right hand held the bow, her wrist held the bow arm slightly relaxed, her middle finger and ring finger gently supported the bowstring, and her snow-white pink neck listened slightly, waiting for the prelude to sound.

A slightly dimmer light hit the piano in front of Liu Yufan, and the crescent-white keys exuded a hazy and soft light.

Closing his eyes and being quiet for a while, Liu Yufan's arms rose and fell to the keys with joy!
