Chapter 1207: The Guide

"YO-YO, this performance is very important, Mr. Bernstein should have arrived, it's not good for us to be late...... "What time is it now, and you still have the leisure to listen to the street performers?" Despite the fact that it is close to Carnegie Hall, the street performers and the musicians who can perform in it are completely different levels of people, so this person is very unhappy with his behavior.

"Shh~~" YO-YO frowned, put his index finger to his lips to stop his words, and immediately turned around to listen carefully to Shen Long's performance.

What's so good about that? If they had the ability, they would have gone there to perform a long time ago, so why would they be street performers in the square...... Well? No, the way this cello is played...... He is also an insider, although he is not a performer or a musician, but if he wants to eat in this industry, he still has to have the ability to appreciate, and when the music comes to his ears, he immediately shuts up.

The technique is not bad, but it is not top-notch, but this way of playing is unheard of, no wonder YO-YO will stop and listen, his pursuit of performance technique is so obsessed; He now understands why YO-YO stopped and turned to listen to the music.

He hasn't heard of the words that the stone of the mountain can attack jade, or that there must be a teacher in the threesome, but it doesn't mean that there are no similar proverbs in the West, since the other party's technique is worth learning, it is not surprising that it is attracted to YO-YO.

The three-minute performance ended quickly, but YO-YO was a little unsatisfied, he couldn't fully explore the specific skills of the other party in such a short time, so he immediately stepped forward and rummaged through his pockets, but found nothing, he couldn't help but be a little impatient, but fortunately his friend followed, handed over a twenty dollar, and resolved his embarrassment.

YO-YO put the dollar bill into the piano case in front of Shen Long, and then couldn't wait to ask, "What kind of song is this?" And your playing technique is very special! ”

"Oh, YO-YO-MA, why did he come to listen to the buskers?" Before Shen Long could talk, Robert Boris and others became excited, and then many people in the audience recognized him.

Yes, YO-YO is Yo-Yo Ma, whose English name is his English name, and he has formed an indissoluble bond with Carnegie Hall since he first appeared at Carnegie Hall at the age of seven, and has often appeared on the stage here, either as a soloist or with other world-class musicians.

This time, he was invited by Leonard Bernstein, the first native music director of the New York Philharmonic, to attend a charity concert. Yo-Yo Ma originally came to participate in the rehearsal, but he didn't expect to usher in an unexpected joy.

Shen Long's performance made him feel novel and intimate, and he always felt that this kind of performance technique and this piece seemed to be prepared for himself, so he couldn't help but come over to talk.

If Shen Long heard what he said in his heart, he would definitely feel ashamed, right? Because this performance technique was originally Yo-Yo Ma's, and this "Silk Road" was also tailor-made by Tan Dun for Yo-Yo Ma.

"This piece is called "Silk Road", I use some elements of traditional Chinese music, as for the performance of the cello, I refer to some erhu playing techniques......" Shen Long pretended to be curious and looked at Yo-Yo Ma, at this time the communication between the East and the West was not smooth, Yo-Yo Ma did not seem to have been to China yet, so Wang Qiming should not know him.

"Great idea? Are you a musician from China? Oh, by the way, I'm Yo-Yo Ma, a French-born Chinese. Yo-Yo Ma stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shen Long.

"My name is Wang Qiming, this is my wife Guo Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Saying that, Shen Long glanced at his cello and pretended to be excited, "You also play the cello?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Robert and Boris all laughed, this person who played the cello is now one of the top cellists in the world, and they kindly helped introduce Shen Long.

"I just came to the United States, and I am not very familiar with the musicians in the United States. Shen Long pretended to be embarrassed and said, in fact, he knew Yo-Yo Ma's status in the music industry better than Boris and Robert.

Let's put it this way, the highest award in the American music industry is the Grammy Awards, and if a musician can win a Grammy Award in his lifetime, it will be enough to have no regrets, and Yo-Yo Ma has won a total of eighteen! Can you imagine what is the concept of someone winning eighteen Oscars in the film and television industry, or what is the concept of someone winning eight Ballon d'Or in football?

Yo-Yo Ma didn't care about this, he was more concerned about this piece and the specific performance skills, so he was ready to ask patiently, but his friend had to come and interrupt them, "YO-YO, if you don't leave, you'll be late!" ”

"Okay, I'll leave right away." Yo-Yo Ma couldn't let Bernstein wait for him all the time, so he had to leave regretfully, "I'm really sorry, I wanted to communicate with you, but I still have a rehearsal task today; Have you been performing here? ”

"Yes, if there are no accidents, I've always been here." Shen Long said, Robert, Boris and the others next to him kept giving him a look, but Shen Long pretended not to see it.

After Yo-Yo Ma left in a hurry, Robert and the others immediately surrounded him, "King! Do you know what you're missing? That's Yo-Yo Ma! If he can play your tunes, you're famous! ”

"Is he famous? I only know Casals, Tsavoran, Fournier, these masters, and he looks young. Shen Long pretended to be ignorant and asked, just now Robert and they only had time to introduce that this is Yo-Yo Ma, a very famous cellist.

"He's been performing at Carnegie Hall since he was seven years old! At the age of sixteen, he gave cello recitals here, and since then he has continued to collaborate with many symphony orchestras...... Even, some people even say that he will be the next Casals! Robert and the others were a little angry.

Pablo Casals was a Spanish cellist, conductor, composer and considered the greatest cellist of the last century; With his amazing playing and expressive talents, he elevated the status of the cello as a solo instrument, and among the cellists of this century, he made the greatest contribution and was a great artist of epoch-making significance.

"Wang, if you can get his approval, you can enter the mainstream music scene in New York." Boris added.

I've known this for a long time, and I'm here to wait for a guide.
