Chapter 64: The Beginning of Memory
When night fell, someone brought dinner.
Because I had greeted him in advance, I made an extra meal for Gu Li, and the old and the young sat on both sides of the table to eat.
It's just that when he was eating, Gu Li found that Old Man Le had been looking at him, so he asked calmly, "Is there anything wrong with Old Man Le?" ”
"Haven't you watched the latest issue of The Sound of Music?" Old Man Le found that Gu Li really didn't know, remembered that he was from Taojiang City, patted his forehead and said, "I forgot that you are not a local, and you don't know the column "The Sound of Music". ”
"What's that 'The Sound of Music'?" Putting down the chopsticks, Gu Li looked at the old man suspiciously and asked, "Does it have anything to do with me?" ”
"If it doesn't matter, I'll tell you this, what's the matter?" Looking at Gu Li angrily, the old man adjusted the light screen to a display state, then searched for the latest issue of "The Sound of Music" and opened it and said: "This is just broadcast, you can watch it yourself." ”
Looking at the light screen, a beautiful hostess and an old man sat on a single sofa.
Hostess: Hello everyone! Welcome to "The Sound of Music", it has been almost a month since the last meeting, today we are fortunate to invite Mr. Hao to the scene, for Mr. Hao I believe that there are many audiences who know, I am here to briefly talk about his old man's deeds...
Mr. Hao waited for the host to finish speaking, then waved his hand to the screen and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Haoqing." ”
"Mr. Hao, do you know why we specially invited you over today?" The hostess smiled and blinked a little mischievously and said, "It's related to one of your songs." ”
"It's the violin song "The Beginning of Memory" on the Internet, right?" Mr. Hao said with some emotion: "I have listened to it more than a dozen times on the way here..."
"What do you think?" The hostess looked at the air a little, and a light screen appeared, looking at the list of top searches and downloads on it, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen a song that has been on the hot search so quickly." ”
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for my leg problems, I would have liked to meet the guy who played this piece." Mr. Hao nodded seriously and said, "Although the level of performance is not very proficient, it is very spiritual, and he really plays the feelings he wants to express." ”
"We all know that learning music starts with familiarity with the instrument, and then slowly learns the score, memorizes it in our minds, and plays as much as possible the meaning of each note when playing."
"This stage we call it introductory, and at this stage, you can start to think about the meaning of the piece and express it in your own way."
"But because many pieces are being created, the creators have different ideas, so that the performance will be of different levels, and there will be a big difference in sound."
"At this time, above the entry, there are third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, quasi-master and master levels."
"As we all know, every five years, the City of Music holds a conference of the highest awards, which is dedicated to awarding awards to outstanding musicians, composers and performers, in order to encourage them to continue to create better songs."
"But from the inception of the Supreme Awards Conference to the present, why is it that only nine people have received the highest level of the Order of the Sun, while the others can only receive the Starlight Award and the Star Award?" Speaking of this, Mr. Hao sighed, he had already won the Star Award, and he was only one step away from the Haori Medal, but this step was enough to hinder him for thirty years.
The hostess saw that Mr. Hao's mood was a little low, and hurriedly said, "Why is this happening?" ”
"There are two reasons." Mr. Hao quickly cleaned up his mind and said calmly: "The first reason is that my own level must reach the master's level, and I can independently compose a spiritual song. ”
"A performer who can't compose music is not a good composer has always been on our lips, and this sentence shows that if you want to win the Haori Medal, then the level of performance and composition must be at the level of a master."
"The second reason is the contribution to the city of music, that is, whether the music created by individuals can bring innovation and vitality to the city of music."
Listening carefully to Mr. Hao's explanation, the hostess said with a smile: "Thank you very much Mr. Hao for explaining to us what the purpose of the creation of the highest award is." ”
"So what does it have to do with the song "The Beginning of Memory" on the Internet that we are talking about?"
Mr. Hao showed a meaningful smile and asked, "Have you studied "The Beginning of Memory"? ”
"Well, I've learned." Although I don't know why Mr. Hao asked like this, the hostess nodded after being stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you notice any difference between this piece and 'The Beginning of Memory' I wrote?" Mr. Hao looked at the confusion on her face, stretched out his hand to the air, searched for the song and clicked play.
The harsh sound came, which made the hostess frown slightly, but the sound of the piano slowly soothed and became low and made people indulge in it, feeling the meaning of the performer at that time.
Loneliness, silence, and darkness envelop the listener's heart, and a sad emotion wells up in his heart, whether it is a child in the eyes of sadness or a sadness for his own past.
Sunlight seeps in, dispelling the darkness and revealing a bright smile.
Time passes, and the boy who was a child gradually grows up and becomes an independent adult, taking care of the warmth of his palms.
The storm came, lapping against this warm little world, falling into boundless silence.
After listening to the song, the hostess's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't come back to her senses until the director's voice came to her ears, and quickly wiped her tears.
"Do you hear that now? This "The Beginning of Memory" is not the one I wrote at all. Mr. Hao's hands on the sofa trembled slightly, and his eyes were ruddy and said: "This is a new song "The Beginning of Memory", from the hesitation of birth, to the silence of falling into the darkness, and the hand of light stretched out, we seem to see a lonely child silently bearing the pressure of different ages. ”
"When I heard the warm and cozy tone of the second half, I thought it would end the whole piece, but what I didn't expect was that the high notes made my whole body get goosebumps, and my heart was greatly shocked, as if I had seen a manic storm destroy this warm little world at once."
Stretching out his hand excitedly, Mr. Hao suddenly froze, sighed and said, "But it's a pity that this piece is not complete, it can only be counted as half a piece." ”
"Incomplete?" Looking at Mr. Hao in surprise, the hostess asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Just like a person's life, there are wonderful places and painful memories, whether they are happy or sad, they will be expressed in various forms when people are about to die." Mr. Hao pointed to this "Beginning of Memory" and said: "But this piece only describes the current feelings of the performer, and does not draw an ending note, indicating that this piece is not over in the hearts of the performers." ”
"It's not so much 'The Beginning of Memory' as 'The Beginning of Memory.'"
