Chapter 264: Paganini's Twenty-Four Caprice No.24 (II)
After the star-like ninth variation, the acoustics of the tenth variation were stretched to the limit.
Unlike ordinary singing melodies, the entire tenth variation is played entirely in artificial overtones, and the melody is ethereal and noble, like a holy angel.
This is exactly what people say about Paganini, both positive and negative, and it is where his divinity is abundant.
Artificial overtones were not invented by Paganini, but they were the first to be used throughout his compositions.
Looking at this, we can see that basically every variation is completely new.
These new techniques, new expressions, can be said to be the cornerstone of Romanticism.
The conservative academics who came to see the situation were shocked beyond measure.
And the sentence that Shen Wuhuan said, which made them unable to say a wordless declaration, came true at this time.
They angrily scolded Shen Wuhuan in their hearts for being a madman and a psychopath!
But the throat was filled with dead grass that had been burned by a wildfire.
They could only open their mouths, but they could not say a word.
Creating a new genre of music may sound intimidating at first glance, but it's actually a thorny path that can quickly fade into oblivion if you don't come up with an iconic tune.
It is an established fact that Shen Wuhuan released new tunes at a very fast pace.
And these conservative scholars were invited to come when they knew that Shen Wuhuan would come up with a new tune, precisely because no matter how menacing the romantic music was, it was still within the scope of people's understanding.
But today they know they were wrong.
The tune in front of me is not like that at all.
How do you understand this?
This is much more than the existing violin pieces.
If "Introduction and Rondo Caprice" is a romantic music that marks the national character, then "Hunting" is a manifestation of the development of the sound in Romanticism.
And this "Caprice XXIV" is the culmination of the whole romanticism.
Its transcendent expression is enough to shock others in any world.
The first ten variations came to an end, and the audience was greeted by the final variation, the eleventh variation.
If the opening theme is likened to a babbling stream, then this variation is a sea under a storm!
The stormy breakdown of chords and two-string tones becomes brilliant under the staggered playing technique.
The atmosphere was detonated at the pole.
Almost all of the previous techniques are included in this short few sections.
Double tones, left-handed plucking of strings, extremely fast bow movements, etc., etc., flashed in a blink of an eye, dazzling general changes in technique, like a god!
The difficulty of the last section is the pinnacle of the whole piece, and unlike the difficulty of the single technique of the ninth variation, the rapid performance of this section can be said to challenge the limits of the fingers.
There is even a two-digit thirty-second note in a bar, and just looking at the score can give people an extremely strong sense of frustration.
But Xin Xiangyang still played it perfectly.
The difficulty of this "Twenty-fourth Caprice" is also very amazing, but Xin Xiangyang's performance today is enough to make people applaud.
This is the standard performer, who can perform extremely difficult pieces even if he or she may not practice on a regular basis.
The representative of this type of player is the Chrysler in modern times.
The audience didn't even wait for the end of the song to stand up.
The auditorium erupted in frenzied cheers.
"Oh my God, what do I see? Such a violin piece is simply unprecedented! ”
"Makes me feel like I've seen Ghost Fire? Is it my delusion? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, this song is better than "Ghost Fire", I don't know how much!"
For a while, in addition to praise, there was nothing to say.
Of course, it was more about the curiosity of the skilled performer on stage.
"Actually, when I entered the arena, I wanted to ask, who is the performer? Why not Master Shen playing? ”
"Not to mention, I was quite disappointed at the beginning, but it really shocked me, is there such a great violinist in our country? I see in front of her, the former self-proclaimed master performers have to be recast, right? ”
"You see she's so young, tender and tender, can't she be a student?"
"Students... No way? ”
"Maybe it's Professor Shen's student, otherwise why did Professor Shen put her on the stage?"
"Don't make any noise, Professor Shen is going to speak."
Shen Wuhuan on the stage stood side by side with Xin Xiangyang with the microphone, and she joked with a smile: "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”
After experiencing the stormy performance just now, it happened to be as Shen Wuhuan said, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Her joke was just right, and it also made all the audience turn their attention to her.
"Since I am relieved, let me introduce the player who just brought us such a shocking performance, my student, Miss Xin Xiangyang."
Shen Wuhuan put Xin Xiangyang, who had just finished bowing to the microphone, Xin Xiangyang was holding a violin and a bow in his arms, and it was a little difficult to hold the microphone again.
But Shen Wuhuan won't go to "be a good person" to help her take over the violin in her arms.
For the player, the piano is the comrade-in-arms who fought together just now, and if the two are separated when they speak, what is the matter?
It is also a very important etiquette.
Xin Xiangyang said with sweat: "Thank you for being here today, to be able to watch a little-known student performance like me, I really don't know how to describe it." ”
"The piece I played today is still the work of my teacher, Professor Shen, and the whole piece is overwhelmingly changing with extreme speed, intricate and original acoustics, even as a performer, I am fascinated by this piece."
The audience in the audience was in an uproar, it turned out to be really a student, are the current students so high-end?
Sure enough, someone shouted his doubts to the stage: "May I ask Miss Xin, how did you convince yourself to complete the practice when you got such a difficult song?" ”
This question does reflect the voice of most people.
If today's performer was Shen Wuhuan, others would not have so many strange questions to ask.
But this person on the stage is just an ordinary student, and it is inevitable that people will diverge their thinking, right?
Xin Xiangyang couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this question, she looked at Shen Wuhuan who was standing beside her, nodded to her, and after getting permission, Xin Xiangyang replied: "In fact, my piece is not the most difficult piece I've ever seen, and I'm also practicing the most difficult piece, so..."
"That's it."
