Chapter 2: Different Worlds
Wen Hui's "Piano Sonata for the Sound of Summer"? What kind of bird thing?
Shen Wuhuan does not say that she has learned both Chinese and Western, but she has a lot of knowledge of the scores of the world's most well-known classical composers, and she has never heard such a composer as Wenhui Dazao in her memory, and she has never heard the song "The Voice of Summer" at all.
Just as she searched for her inner memory, a prompt suddenly appeared.
"The library has been activated."
With this prompt, the score of "The Voice of Summer" appeared completely in Shen Wuhuan's mind, with her obsession with music, seeing that the score naturally ignored the abnormalities in the music library, she plunged into the score one by one, and glanced at it roughly, but found a problem.
The number of scores for the whole sonata is pitiful, only seven pages, the density of the notes is not enough, in layman's terms, the difficulty is not enough, can not show the player's playing skills, BPM (BeatPerMinute, Chinese called tempo number, meaning the unit of beats per minute) full note 80, is a mid-board piece, only five pages of sheet music plus BMP80 such a concept, this piece can not even play for three minutes, this kind of music can be used for competition?
It's not that this piece is very bad, but it's not suitable, this "Sound of Summer" has a melodious tune and delicate harmony, just looking at the score, the music naturally appears in her mind, which is the crystallization of many years of playing experience, and high-end violin players have done it.
However, on the one hand, the music participating in the competition depends on the performer to show the composer's intention, perfectly restore the meaning of the notes, the emotion of the musical phrases, and more importantly, it can show the personality and skill of the performer.
It's like playing "To Alice" at the World Piano Competition, and as a Beethoven piece, can you say it's bad? Of course not, from the perspective of musicality, many difficult tunes are not as "good" as this one, the reason why a great musician is a great musician, the most important thing is to be able to appreciate both the elegant and the vulgar, but this piece is by no means a good song to participate in the competition.
What's more, the competition requires the restoration of the score, the score is so simple, how do you express the technique? If you add extra notes outside the spectrum of the score to show your skills, even if you pop a flower, sorry, out, this is a competition, not a solo concert!
After thinking about it, Shen Wuhuan didn't know why she chose this song, and in the face of her father's question, she said hesitantly: "En... No problem. ”
It's really no problem, just playing this tune, she can play it once she sight-sings, it's too easy.
"It's okay, I have something to do with your mother today, so I won't watch you play, it's just a small game, you have so much experience before, there shouldn't be a problem."
Seeing that his father didn't say anything more, and then in a simple chat, Shen Wuhuan coped with things resignedly, but also had a new understanding of family members, and finally wrote down the place of the competition and the route of the car in his mother's advice, and left the house.
"Huh, the gap between my father in this life and my previous life is too big, and I can't adapt to it at all."
The nervousness with this girl is entirely because of her father, and it has nothing to do with the competition.
Indeed, with the combined competition experience of her two lives, she is enough to dominate the world, and she can very much say that she is the most experienced person in the world!
Sitting on the bus, her thinking became active again, and she felt that it was not right after thinking about it, looking at her father's appearance, "The Voice of Summer" should be a very famous tune, and in the small talk behind it, her father's musical literacy was also extremely high, such a person, such a father, how could he not tell the quality of the music, how could he let his baby daughter use a bad street song to compete, there must be something wrong elsewhere.
Flipping through the phone, Shen Wuhuan was stupid.
Thousand degrees? Net fish? Penguin PP? What is this?
Shen Wuhuan, who is an idiot in life, can still surf the Internet, and it took more than an hour for her to finally understand some things in this world, and she almost sat on the station for this.
The world I am currently in is very similar to the earth in the previous life, at least more than 90% similar, and the country I am in is also called CN, but this country has never had a devastating war.
This is from a historical point of view, classical music originated from church music, the Renaissance was a period of political instability in Europe, the prestige and power of the church began to weaken, the germination of the bourgeoisie in order to adapt to the development of society at that time and people's new ideas, music began to promote the idea of people-oriented, and at the same time in various fields began the Renaissance movement, that is, during that period, the European tradition of major and small keys gradually formed.
However, in this world, the Renaissance Church reformed on a large scale, which not only further expanded the prestige of the Church, but also further developed its ruling power, and the budding bourgeoisie was contained, which directly led to the lag of the whole society, and the concept of natural human rights was not destroyed until the middle of the 16th century.
The European people, who are accustomed to peace, did not start a world war, but science and technology and productivity suddenly skyrocketed, and the political situation was tense for a while but inexplicably calmed down, even Shen Wuhuan, who was a historical idiot, saw the problem, but in this world, this is the real history, thinking about it, she can only attribute it to the fact that the people of this world are peace-loving in their bones.
China's history also changed dramatically in the middle of the last century, with the abdication of the emperor and the establishment of the same political system as his predecessors, with little else to change.
Returning to the history of music, the European major and minor keys of this world are indeed based three centuries later than the previous life, not only Bach, Handel, nor Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and the subsequent Paganini and Liszt are not visible.
Of course, the scores created by these great men have not contributed to the world, as for the forms of classical music, they are as diverse as ever, these are the inevitable trends of music development, and the reasons for their formation will not be repeated here, although the great men of this world have also created countless great works, but Shen Wuhuan is not interested, because she has never heard of it.
In her eyes, she has always adhered to a strict definition of classical music, that is, the music works of great musicians such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven are called classical music, and the classical music in this world is far from enough.
Relative to the development of folk music, the music played by the world's national instruments can also be attributed to classical music, although the original world has had similar statements, but there have always been criticisms, but this world is not so entangled.
In other words, the level of classical music in this world is equivalent to that of the original world in the early 16th century, but it is a mixture of various tunes and instruments, and it lacks the deformed era of great people.
Except for the classical music part, there is nothing else to say, literature and entertainment have not changed from the previous life, anyway, Shen Wuhuan doesn't watch it, as long as she can concentrate on studying classical music, it is enough.
For Shen Wuhuan, this is the best era, an era that is enough to shock the world!
Shen Wuhuan was excited, she couldn't wait to run to the competition site and sit in front of the piano and start playing, and she didn't stop playing for the rest of her life, but unfortunately she was in trouble now, because she was lost.
Strange cities, unfamiliar streets, and extremely poor survival ability, the strange scenes around her only made her dizzy, and she didn't even know whether it was a human or a ghost walking by her.
At this moment, someone patted her, and she looked up, it was a tall girl, half a head taller than herself, with a radiant expression on her face with great confidence, and her long hair draped over her shoulders was black and shiny.
The girl asked, "Hey, are you alright, I think you're about to faint." ”
"Ah, indeed, I'm a little dizzy."
Shen Wuhuan was indeed dizzy, this was an obvious phobia, and she couldn't walk if she didn't have a piano to accompany her in a crowded place.
"Then sit down." When the girl saw that she was really dizzy and not touching porcelain, she quickly helped her to sit on the nearby steps.
The girl was very kind, and she also took out a fan from her small backpack to help Shen Wuhuan fan the wind, which made her recover quickly.
After a while, she finally didn't feel so uncomfortable, and then said with difficulty, "Thank you." ”
"It's okay, it's fun to help others, my name is Li Yunxi, what about you?"
"Thank you anyway, my name is Shen Wuhuan, Wu is Wu Zetian's martial arts, and Huan is the famous Huan Huan..."
But when these words are heard in other people's ears, they really only think that this person is crazy, introduce himself, is there an analogy with Wu Zetian, also known as Zhenhuanyu? This is clearly not meant to be friends.
However, Li Yunxi didn't think much about it, it was really Shen Wuhuan's current image that was too innocent and innocent, if it was a boy who said this, he would definitely be labeled as unruly, but the world always has to be more patient with beautiful women.
It's just that Li Yunxi still has some impressions of the name Shen Wuhuan, but she can't remember who it is, and she herself is a pianist, and the people she knows well are either her classmates and friends, or people who are famous in the performance circle, she put aside the previous idea, she asked.
"You're not going to be here today, are you?"
Shen Wuhuan nodded and said, "Yes, but I can't find the venue, there are so many people around, I'm not used to staying in a crowded place..."
As she spoke, she reacted, and the other party's question mentioned a word, "Ah, are you also here to participate in the competition?" Can you tell me how to get to the venue, it's almost time for the game to start, I... I..."
Li Yunxi was speechless for a while, she really couldn't stand the other party's cute character, and pointed to the building above the steps very casually, but she didn't speak.
Shen Wuhuan followed her finger and looked, and several gilded characters of "West Lake Concert Hall" were hanging above the building.
She rubbed her eyes, and then took out a small note from the pocket of her dress, which her mother had given her when she was leaving, and it marked the destination, for fear that she would be lost.
Looked up, looked down, looked down, looked down, looked up, looked down, looked down, confirmed it three times, and she suddenly realized, "Oh, this is it." ”
Then she turned her head and said to Li Yunxi: "Thank you for helping me find the venue, then I'll go to the game first." ”
seemed to forget that the other party was also a contestant, which made Li Yunxi cry and laugh.
Who the hell is this little cute thing? Shen Wuhuan... I really think I've heard this name somewhere...
Li Yunxi followed the pace while thinking about it, and walked into the venue, and the game will officially start in half an hour.
