"Sir, I still can't touch the inspiration for creation, is there something wrong with the direction of my efforts?" Zhuo Yang asked Professor Carl Norman.

Zhuo Yang's undergraduate degree is piano performance, and the direction of study is to become a pianist. However, in Professor Norman's view, with such an outstanding musical talent as Zhuo Yang, it is a bit of a talent to pursue performance alone, and Zhuo Yang has delicate emotions, unique creative thinking, and the ability to integrate and shape music, which has given him the prerequisite talent conditions to become a piano composer.

From the time when Zhuo Yang decided to continue his studies, it was already clear that he would embark on the path of both performance and composition. Since then, Zhuo Yang has strengthened his study and study of classical music theory and orchestral performance, which was originally something outside of his curriculum. In other words, Zhuo Yang has actually begun his master's studies.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Zhuo Yang has been able to compose piano music independently, and he does have a lot of works in fact.

The accumulation of various musical elements, the integration of various complex performance techniques, and the many obscure rhythms and transpositions, how awkward and how to come. Composing such an etude is not very difficult for Zhuo Yang at present, as long as he ponders it for a while and makes it up little by little, he can still complete it. Moreover, this style of piano professional composition is highly respected in many music universities around the world, including professional music schools in China.

Of course, this style is popular but also controversial, because what such music pursues is transcendence and leadership, which can also be said to be self-righteous transcendence and advancement. To surpass this era, to be ahead of this era. In other words, how can you not understand it, how can you not understand it, how can you not understand how the melody comes. This category is called the avant-garde for the time being.

For those who advocate this kind of thing, if the repertoire created is understood and understood by the current people, it means failure.

In fact, this style of repertoire, even the creator himself is not very willing to play, it is so ugly that it is an errand for the department, and then it is shelved and left to fend for itself.

The University of Music Hannover is one of the world's leading musicians, and this style of writing is also popular, but the greatest advantage of the piano department, led by Professors Al Vardy and Karl Norman, is compatibility. While allowing this avant-garde style to exist, the piano department also has its own insistence.

There are also many people in the industry who believe that music creation should contain emotion, and this emotion must withstand the precipitation and test of time, such music is real music, just like many classics handed down by previous generations.

The avant-garde believes that much of the music of masters such as Beethoven was not understood in their time, and that many people could not understand their music at the time. The emotions in the movement are given by later generations after the precipitation of time, that is to say, it is precisely because it cannot be understood that it can be fully interpreted, and the music can be freely given a soul.

It's like the famous Eiffel Tower, when it was first built, its bizarre and rough steel shape was completely out of step with the romantic and classical urban atmosphere of Paris, but over time it blended perfectly into the feelings of Paris, and even became a symbol of Paris.

That's what the avant-garde wanted.

The Emotional School believes that the music created is like a mountain and the sea, it is a part of the universe itself, which can withstand the telling and touch of time, and from the moment it appears, it has become the emotional essence of the artistic universe, and it will remain fresh over time.

The two genres are indistinguishable, but for Zhuo Yang of the Hannover University of Music, he naturally admires the emotional school more. Zhuo Yang, like his teachers, believes that a successful piano piece comes into being after the expression and accumulation of emotions, which is the rendering and sublimation of feelings, as well as the perception of the universe and life.

Such a movement, from the day it was born, can resonate with the audience, can let the audience touch the emotional atmosphere, and with the passage of time more and more rich and infectious. The music of Beethoven and other sages was not incomprehensible in their time, but the unique and complex emotional expression in it was quite pertinent, and the special love was given to the special you.

This is Zhuo Yang's pursuit on the road of music.

.

"I've never been able to put the pieces together, should I ditch them and start anew?"

Since more than a year ago, Zhuo Yang has already had many fragments of self-composed music, which are all derived from his improvisational insights in his studies and life. At that time, he was optimistic that he would soon have a complete movement, and he just needed to find a way to organically connect these emotions.

But more than a year has passed, but Zhuo Yang has not made an inch on it, and the music fragments have accumulated more and more, but he has never been able to accumulate sand into piles, and no matter how many fragments there are, it is still fragments.

Grandpa Al Wadi always told him: take your time, take your time.

Professor Carl Norman also comforted him: Don't worry, don't worry.

Okay, don't rush and take your time, just wait. But after waiting for more than a year, I still have no clue, I don't even know where the direction of my efforts is, and I don't know if the learning method is correct, which is very troublesome.

When spring came, Zhuo Yang discussed this problem with Professor Norman many times, trying to find the crux of the problem with the help of his mentor, or perhaps find the door. When I came to school today, this is still the case.

.

"Zhuo Yang, in fact, it's normal for you to not find inspiration for creation at your age for a while, under normal circumstances, it is already fast to be able to create your first track before the age of thirty."

"The first song is a barrier, with the first song, you have found a way, and the inspiration behind will be endless, don't worry." Norman teaches the Tuntun Teachings. "Actually, the etudes you've written before are already very good, and I think a few of them may become classics."

"Hehe, then it depends on how others interpret it many years later, anyway, I don't know the meaning." Zhuo Yang knows that the kind of repertoire made of depth and skill depends on how the descendants forcibly give something, and after a long time, it will not be the same.

——Lu Xun's sentence expresses the author's bitter smile and helplessness at the dark society at that time, and the author intends to convey a positive and optimistic mood to the readers, to be vigilant to the people, to be sober, and to break through the shackles of the old system. And the author's use of interjections is superb, fully and strongly expressing the idea of ending the old system.

- Lu Xun Quanxia knows: Fuck, I don't know how to say 'hahaha!' 'How can it be so profound?'

"Zhuo Yang, your real problem is that you are too young. You have too little experience, both emotionally and experiencedly, and you have accumulated too little. ”

"Your current age is the biggest threshold for your music creation."

Professor Norman woke up the dreamer with one word, but the next words really disturbed Zhuo Yang's heart.

"Zhuo Yang, it's time for you to leave, it's time for you to leave Hanover!"
