When David stood up.

Applause rang out from the surroundings. Everyone knew what David was going through and understood and sympathized with him for crying just now.

Everyone is an artist or a person who likes art. We all know that each other’s emotions are very sensitive and it is easy to laugh and cry.

At this moment, David bravely stood up and communicated with Wang Qian, which was recognized by everyone.

Perhaps, because of the poem just now and Wang Qian’s performance, the violin professor at Eastman College, who was immersed in grief, came out of the shadow of losing his beloved?

Everyone has more recognition and expectations for Wang Qian.

The applause rang for a while

Two old men on both sides of David stood up and hugged him gently to show comfort.

Wang Qian on the podium seemed to have suddenly become a supporting role.

Although David is not well-known in the European and American music and art circles, he has not held a top-level world tour that has been recognized by the world, nor has he performed at the Vienna Golden Hall. He has only taught at Eastman College for decades, and occasionally in New York The small theater has held small-scale concerts, and only his relatives, friends and students were present.

However, David’s decades of teaching at one of the world’s top schools like Eastman, the reputation he has accumulated in the circle, and the hundreds of students he has taught have made him a highly respected figure in the field of music and art. people, especially those who graduated from the Eastman School of Music, have the utmost respect for him.

Furthermore, people who know and are familiar with David in the circle know that his violin playing level is definitely at the level of the world's top masters, but he does not pursue fame and fortune so much, so it is not widely spread.

This is a very common phenomenon among top universities. It can be said that there is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Many people are very focused on their own fields and do not like to be in the limelight.

That is, the outside world may not have heard of this person, but he is truly the world's top player in his own professional field.

Wang Qian also gently clapped his hands and applauded David to show respect.

Although, he doesn't know who the other party is, where he comes from, and what his masterpieces are.

However, seeing everyone applauding, he just followed suit.

The applause lasted for a few seconds and then slowly stopped.

Taylor attended Curtis Institute and is familiar with several of the top music conservatories in New York not far away.

Three top classical music schools including Eastman, Juilliard, and Manhattan, together with Curtis, form the world's number one New York Classical Music Art Alliance.

These four colleges almost occupy the top five, or even the top four, of the world's top classical music schools all year round. The top rankings are transferred back and forth between these four colleges. Their foundation is extremely rich and beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Therefore, the four colleges have more exchanges with each other. As a talented piano girl from Curtis, Taylor has studied and exchanged in the other three colleges, and is quite familiar with some of the famous professors and talented students. learn.

Taylor whispered to Sophie and Qin Xuerong and explained: "Professor David is a violin professor at Eastman College, a violin professor at all the four colleges in Manhattan: Curtis, Eastman, Juilliard, and so on. Among them, he can be ranked in the top two. He plays the violin very well. I listened to it twice and I have a deep memory."

"Paton, one of the top ten violinists in the world, was his student more than 20 years ago."

After hearing this, Sophie, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong and others were in awe of the old gentleman who was crying just now.

Teachers and students from three famous music schools in China, such as He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, and Peng Donghu, have great respect for this old professor David. He is a real old artist.

Although the violin is far less popular than the piano, it is more difficult to practice than the piano, and it is a musical art that the poor cannot afford.

Now that China's economy has developed and risen, many people have money and are willing to spend money on the education of children. Most children will learn one or two art courses from an early age, such as dance, music, singing, musical instruments and painting. Don’t wait any longer!

More than ten or twenty years ago, everyone in primary and secondary schools would think they were awesome if they could play the guitar. If they could play the piano, they would be even more awesome. The guzheng was equally rare. Only one or two people in a class could play it. As for the violin At that time, many students had never seen cello and the like, and there was probably not a single person in the entire school who could play it.

However, many wealthy families now let their children learn violin or even cello to increase their artistic accomplishment and set themselves apart from other children learning musical instruments!

In the musical instrument training circle, there is a chain of contempt!

The harp is at the top of the contempt chain, followed by the big violin, then the piano, zither and the like!

In the past, parents thought that learning piano was very expensive. An ordinary piano cost thousands or tens of thousands, and hiring a teacher for a lesson cost hundreds of dollars. Rich people could not afford it, but practicing piano for a year It will start to show results after half a year, and you can play some simple music. It is very suitable for learning as a hobby, and it can also be used as a talent.

However, compared with the violin, it seems cheap and simple. Buying a slightly better violin costs tens of thousands, and violin teachers are even rarer. A lesson of more than one thousand is a discount, while the violin requires The practice time is longer and the difficulty is higher. You may not be able to find the right notes after practicing for a year or two. If you want to play the music seriously, it is impossible without more than a few years of practice. This is still a good talent, ordinary A person may practice for ten or eight years but still not be able to actually play a piece of music.

However, cellos are more expensive. A good cello costs tens of thousands, almost one hundred thousand or so. Better cellos can easily cost tens to millions, and most of the time they are not available at all. In stock, you need to book in advance and wait a long time to get it, and teachers who can teach cello are even rarer. There may be only a dozen or twenty teachers who can teach cello in a small city with a population of one million, and a training institution may only have one. Classes cost thousands of yuan per class, and they are not taken alone, but with several students together. If you want to achieve something, you need to practice for a longer time.

As for the harp, you may not be able to buy it if you want to. Many musical instrument shops don’t want to sell it to you. If you can buy it, the price is scary. More importantly, even in super cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, , it is very difficult to find a teacher who can teach harp. A few thousand yuan per lesson is normal. In smaller cities, you may not be able to find a teacher who can teach harp in the entire city!

So, although the piano is recognized as the king of musical instruments in the world, it is no longer rare in China, and it is a popular instrument in Europe and the United States.

If there is a junior high school class in China that wants to put on a theatrical performance, and the teacher counts the number of people in the class who can play musical instruments, there may be more than ten or twenty people who can play the piano and guzheng, but you need to find someone who can play the violin. There may not be more than two hands in each grade, but if you want to find someone who can play the cello, one or two in each grade will be good. For those who can play the harp, there are basically no ordinary schools, and only famous schools will have one or two.

This situation is actually the same all over the world.

The same is true here in North America.

When you say you can play the piano, people just smile, because maybe many people present can play a piece.

But if you say you can play the violin, others may be impressed and think it’s great!

However, if you say that you can play the cello, others may immediately look at you with admiration and immediately think that you may be an artist.

And when you say you can play the harp, then you are definitely a giant panda-level existence, with an artist aura around you.

Rare things are more valuable.

The Piano Department is the largest department in almost all classical music colleges.

Instruments such as violin, cello, harp, trumpet and French horn are relatively niche compared to the piano.

So!

Artists who have achieved success in the field of violin are even rarer than those in the field of piano.

This is why He Chaohui and others respect David very much!

Not to mention, Professor David is also a violin professor at Eastman College, the world's number one classical music school. His status is definitely very high in the field of classical music.

The teachers and students of the Chinese delegation also sincerely applauded Professor David.

The applause stops!

Everyone looked at Professor David, looking forward to what kind of musical sparks there would be between David and Wang Qian.

Wang Qian looked at David and asked: "Sir, what do you call me?"

Professor David took the microphone handed over by the staff and said solemnly: "David, you can call me David."

Although Wang Qian didn’t know David’s identity, he knew from everyone’s applause and respect for him that David’s identity might not be ordinary, and those who could sit in the first two rows were world classics The heavyweight in the field of music and art said with a little respect: "Hello, David, you can tell me what you think."

Professor David thought for a while and said: "I really like the poem you just wrote, When You Get Old. This poem is almost a true portrayal of my wife and I's life. We have been together for a lifetime. Unfortunately, one person will leave first, and that person is not me."

The scene fell into silence, and the atmosphere was relatively gloomy. Everyone expressed sympathy for David's experience.

Wang Qian said apologetically: "Sorry, the person left behind may suffer more."

David stared at Wang Qian with bright eyes. He knew that Wang Qian really understood him, and said movedly: "Yes."

His voice was choked again, and he had the urge to cry again.

Two people who love each other until old age, the one who leaves first must be the happier one. He will not bear the loneliness of crying alone, and can still see his lover before he dies.

So, the person left behind will suffer more pain, the pain of loneliness, and the pain of losing his lover. When he finally leaves the world, he still leaves alone and cannot see his lover for the last time.

Only those who truly understand love will understand this kind of pain.

Many emotional people at the scene, as well as people with unique ideas about love, were very respectful and kind to Wang Qian.

As Christine et al.

Because, they feel that Wang Qian really understands them and love.

David quickly controlled his emotions, his voice became hoarse, he looked at Wang Qian and said: "Mr. Wang Qian, you are a truly talented and powerful artist. Your music and your poem, I I like them all very much. Your expression of your emotions is simply god-like. ”

“I have been teaching violin for decades, and I have never seen a performer who can play music so clearly like you. Whether it is violin, piano, or other instruments, I have never seen anyone do it like you. The level of live performance”

Wang Qian smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. David for your recognition. I am honored."

There was another slight round of applause, but many people recognized Professor David’s words.

Similarly, this is also a recognition of Wang Qian’s performance just now.

It was the first time for them to hear Wang Qian's performance at this level. While each of them was shocked, they also highly recognized Wang Qian's ability.

Professor David looked at Wang Qian and continued: "The Luo Shen by the Water you just played is like a painting rather than a piano piece when you played it. I would like to ask Wang Qian about this. Sir, how did you achieve this? I have been studying music performance for decades, and I really want to go further and reach the level of Mr. Wang Qian’s performance just now. I hope you can give me some guidance."

Professor David looked at Wang Qian with extremely serious and eager eyes.

After losing his lover, he focused his whole heart only on music, determined to pursue the most perfect and ultimate violin playing realm.

As for this realm, he originally had no specific concept. He only believed that he had not reached that realm yet and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

I came to Curtis’s class today just to relax and see if the so-called musical genius from China is a real genius

I didn’t expect such a harvest.

The Luo Shen by the Water played by Wang Qian just now allowed Professor David to see what a truly perfect and extreme performance state is like

It makes the listener forget the music, forget the notes, forget the instrument, and even forget the person playing, and only see that picture.

This is how Professor David felt when he heard Wang Qian play piano music just now.

He was completely pulled into that kind of picture, saw clear pictures one after another, and saw everything that the song wanted to express.

However, when he wanted to recall the note rhythm of the music afterwards, he found that it was not very clear, as if he had never heard it before.

However, the picture I felt and saw while listening to the music is still lingering in my mind.

This shocked him extremely.

His musical feeling is the perfect realm of music performance he pursues.

The purpose of music performance is to allow people to hear the music played clearly and to let the listeners feel the essence of the music.

And what is perfect musical performance?

If it were before, David would not be able to say this and had no specific concept of it.

And now, he wanted to say.

Perfect extreme musical performance that makes people forget about music!

This is what Wang Qian's performance just inspired him.

He remembered a saying from the Eastern philosophy he had studied: When things go to extremes, they must be reversed!

So, the ultimate expression of music is no music!

He did not expect that when he did not know what the ultimate musical performance was, a young Chinese man had already reached this state, and he could clearly feel it on the spot.

So, regardless of his status and the mood he had just collapsed, he insisted on getting up and asking Wang Qian for advice on how to achieve this state, how to make the audience forget the music itself when playing music, but be able to clearly remember all the musical expressions picture.

When many music artists at the scene heard Professor David's question, they all looked at Wang Qian with burning eyes and some longing.

There was almost no one at the venue who didn’t understand music, and most of them were a small group of people who knew the most about music in the world.

They all know that Wang Qian has surpassed them in piano performance.

So, they also want to know now, how did Wang Qian do it?

Can they also reach that state?

Many people’s eyes became longing and hot.

Even Max, Malone, Dawson, Kalman and others looked at Wang Qian expectantly, looking forward to whether Wang Qian's answer could help them.

When Wang Qian heard David's words, he thought about it carefully and then asked: "Mr. David, you said you teach violin. Where do you teach?"

David answered truthfully: "At the Eastman School of Music."

Wang Qian was slightly shocked. Although he guessed that Mr. David's identity might be unusual and that he might be from a top prestigious school, he still didn't expect that the other party turned out to be from the top classical music school currently ranked number one in the world. Mann School of Music.

However, Wang Qian's face was very calm, as if the Eastman College he mentioned was no different from other ordinary music schools.

Wang Qian asked again: "How many years have you taught violin?"

David thought for a while: "Forty-six years."

Wang Qian: "Can you play the piano?"

David said seriously: "I know a little bit, I can play a few simple tunes, that's all. I focus on the violin."

The scene returned to extreme silence again!

No one looked at the two of them seriously, listening to their conversation, looking forward to their final answers, and expecting that Wang Qian would bring them inspiration and progress.

Wang Qian frowned slightly and said: "You don't know much about piano, and what I just played was piano music, so if I explain this piece and piano, you may not understand it well. Moreover, your question , it is difficult to express it in detailed and objective language, and it is difficult for me to explain it clearly."

"The best way is to play a piece of music to show you, but piano is not in line with your major. You have studied violin all your life."

"So, who can lend me a violin?"

After Wang Qian said what he said, everyone is still looking forward to his answer!

But, the last question!

The whole place became even quieter, and even the breathing of many people could not be heard.

Every pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian with wide eyes again, with obvious doubts and question marks——

Say it again?

What do you want?
