There are two kinds of talent cherished in the classical music world, one is playing skill, and if you can play the cello as well as Yo-Yo Ma, or play the piano as well as Lang Lang, they will happily invite you to join you.

But as Shen Long said before, no matter what kind of instrument, playing right and playing well are completely different concepts, he inherited Wang Qiming's playing ability, plus his control over his body after many years of martial arts training is far above that of ordinary people, no matter how difficult the song is, he can play it smoothly and freely.

But that's not enough, you also need to get into the emotion of the music, to put it mildly, you have to play the music with your heart, not just your hands; In this regard, Shen Long was a little powerless.

So this path is obviously not going to work, but fortunately there is a second way, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Bach and other great musicians have left countless classic repertoire to the classical music world, but it is not enough for the classical music industry to have these alone.

People in each era have their own unique emotions, and these emotions also need music to express, so the classical music industry can't hold on to these old tunes, they also need new talented musicians to compose new tunes, this is the opportunity that Shen Long is looking forward to.

Except for a few pieces from the Orient such as "Liang Zhu", it is difficult for him to immerse his heart in the music, but he can move the classics of later generations to this era, simply put, to be a copyist in the classical music industry, Tan Dun, Kitaro, Toru Takemitsu, Hisaishi Jean, Sheng Zongliang, etc., these composers whose music is full of oriental elements can be copied.

As long as the energy source continues to produce excellent works and let the right people hear them, then sooner or later Carnegie Hall will open its doors to him, and he is not worried that these works with oriental charm will not be recognized by them.

As soon as he comes, Tan Dun will win the International Composition Award next year with his symphony "Ode to Feng Ya"; Second, the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu's music with a strong traditional Japanese style has gained a lot of recognition in the West, Kitaro also began to enter the United States two years ago, and Japanese music originated in China, since Japanese music can be recognized, then China must be able to.

Well, the status of the Japanese in the international classical music industry is indeed higher than that of China, but this is not because the talent of the Chinese cannot keep up, it is just for economic reasons; People only have the leisure to ponder music when they are full, and the Chinese have just filled their stomachs at the moment, and by the time Shen Long crossed over, the New York Philharmonic was already full of Chinese.

Because many of the families who immigrated earlier have become the middle class, they have the ability to give their children a good quality education, and the domestic economy is also developing rapidly, music education is not out of reach, so the birth of famous pianists Lang Lang, Li Yundi, New York Philharmonic Orchestra principal violin Huang Xin and other outstanding musicians.

"We'll practice first, and then we'll go to Lincoln Center for the Arts." Shen Long woke up from his thoughts and said to Guo Yan, who was still immersed in the score.

"Okay, but it doesn't seem appropriate to use violin and cello for this piece, right? What instrument did you have in mind when you wrote the song? "Guo Yan is also an expert, of course, she will find these problems.

"Well, I think it's good to use gourd silk to express the longness of the desert, anyway, you will do the same, tomorrow we will go to Chinatown to find it and see if we can buy gourd silk." Students who graduated from the Conservatory of Music do not have the truth that they can only have one instrument, Guo Yan also practiced gourd silk when she was in college, and Shen Long's first plagiarized work chose "Silk Road" for this reason, if Guo Yan is not useful, she will definitely have a pimple in her heart.

Shen Long has traveled through so many worlds and flirted with so many girls, how could he not even think of such a level of problem, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

"It's really good to use cucurbit silk, it's too late today, I'll try it with the violin first, and get familiar with the tune." At this time, Guo Yan was not sad about the decline in income, and picked up the violin again to start the practice on the score, Shen Long also picked up the cello, and in Greenwich Village, a violin duet version of "The Silk Road" sounded......

The next morning, they went to Chinatown, had breakfast in Ah Chun's Xiangyuan Building, and by the way, they inquired about the Chinese folk music music store there from Ah Chun, and then went straight to buy it.

"Hulusi? You are the right one, if you buy pipa, erhu, dong flute, you may still be able to find it in other musical instrument stores, gourd silk is estimated to be here I have, to be honest, my gourd silk is not intended to be sold, I was originally from Yunnan, I made a few of my own play, it is rare to meet people who like this, just send you well. "The shopkeeper is an old Chinese who went abroad from Yunnan before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After Guo Yan and Shen Long exchanged politeness, they accepted the gourd silk, Guo Yan tried the audition, and played a song "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" as a thank you.

When the music floats quietly, it seems to bring the shopkeeper to the verdant phoenix tail bamboo forest by the Ruili River, and see the girl he has loved for a long time and wears a tube skirt, she walks and dances by the blue water of Lijiang, waiting for the arrival of her sweetheart; There was a burst of gourd silk in the bamboo forest, faint and melodious; The beautiful girl leaned lightly beside the phoenix tail bamboo, and her clear eyes showed an expectant gaze......

At the end of the song, the shopkeeper was already in tears, "I'm really sorry for ......, your song reminds me of some things in my hometown when I was young." ”

"Understand, this is called homesickness! To be honest, although we have only been abroad for a few months, we will often miss our country, the roast duck of Quanjude, and the pastries of Daoxiang Village, not to mention that you have been out for so many years, old man! Shen Long understood very well, "I think you probably miss Xuanwei ham, bamboo rice and steam pot**?" ”

"Why, how can you not want to? In addition to Xuanwei ham, it's not like I haven't eaten these in New York, but I always feel that something is missing, and I can't eat that taste! The old man wiped away his tears again, "Hey, I'm so old, I don't know if I will have a chance to eat it." ”

"In fact, now the country is slowly beginning to open up, although it is troublesome to return to China, but it is not too difficult, if you want to, go back to see, and when you arrive in Kunming and Ruili, you can definitely taste the taste of the year." Shen Long persuaded, hey, he can go back now, we estimate it will take a while, right?
