Chapter 354 Master-level performance
This year's Spring Festival Gala, Liao Yuan originally submitted Beethoven's "Fur Elise".

The piece was actually unknown in the early years, and it was not until many years after Beethoven's death that people discovered the score from a woman named Teresa.

Teresa was a female student taught by Beethoven when she was 40 years old, and she was very fond of her. Therefore, in a very happy and happy mood, she wrote a ditty of "Bagatelle in A Minor" and presented it to Teresa Sarah, and wrote "Dedicated to Teresa, April 1810, 4, in memory" on the score.

Since then, this score has remained with Teresa, and Beethoven did not keep his own manuscript.

Therefore, there is no such piece in the catalog of his works after his death.

It was not until the 19s, when the German musician Noel wrote a biography of Beethoven, that the manuscript of the piece was found in Teresa Malfati's belongings.

In 1867, when Knoll published the score of this piece in Stuttgart, a city in southwestern Germany, he miswrote the original title "To Teresa" as "To Alice". It is widely circulated in the world, but the original name "To Teresa" has been forgotten by people.

"Fur Elise" has become a must-learn work for piano beginners all over the world because of its soft and moving, short and exquisite features, simple techniques, and easy performance. Therefore, people like to call it "insignificant music". ".

But this insignificance embodies Beethoven's strong personal style and creative ideas, and reflects his unique creative thinking.

The music also has various other unique features, which are highly artistic and expressive, making it a favorite repertoire of many musicians.

However, director Zong Xu felt that the piece was too short,
Because "To Alice" is only a short piece of more than 3 minutes, according to the time left for Liao Yuan in the Spring Festival Gala, as long as it does not exceed 10 minutes, Liao Yuan is basically allowed to play.

So, after thinking twice, Liao Yuan added two more songs. The first one is called "Il -salto -dell'angelo".

The second song is "Oceano", translated as "Ocean".

The two capitals are representative works of the famous Italian composer Roberto Cacciapaglia in his previous life.

Unlike Beethoven's "Fur Elise", "Angel's Leap" and "Ocean" have not appeared in this life, so when Liao Yuan made a slight adaptation, he softened the three pieces together one after another, and played the piece At that time, Zong Xu made a decision without saying a word.

Therefore, a song "To Alice", a song "Angel's Leap", and a song "Ocean" have been fused together in this life, and will appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala tonight.

The three pieces of music all contain popular elements, so they cannot be compared with real classical music in terms of difficulty, but to the audience, they are definitely the most beautiful melodies.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of bells ringing on time came from the sound stage of the Spring Festival Gala and all the corridors in the backstage.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a burst of joyous beating of gongs and drums, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was suddenly full of colors.

Hundreds of dancers and singers took the stage together to present a cultural feast to Chinese audiences around the world.

Subsequently, representatives of various ethnic groups also came on stage to perform ethnic characteristics, such as Cantonese lion dance, Mongolian dance, Yi dance, and even performing artists of Peking opera, Yue opera, Sichuan opera, and Henan opera.

Although they only had more than a dozen seconds of on-camera time on stage, these actors had practiced off-stage for nearly half a year.

Everyone is filled with joyful expressions.

Soon, in a beaming atmosphere, the hosts took the stage grandly.

"Dear audience friends, happy new year!"

"What you are watching and listening to now is the 2023 Spring Festival Evening Gala broadcast live by China Central Radio and Television Station to audiences all over the world!"

"Our Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live to the world through CCTV's comprehensive channel, variety channel, Chinese international channel, children's channel, military agriculture channel and 4K ultra-high-definition channel!"

"At the same time, CNR Chinese Online Broadcasting, Huaxia Traffic Broadcasting, and new media social channels such as CCTV, CNR, and International Online are being broadcast simultaneously!"

"also……"

While the hosts were reciting the manuscript, Liao Yuan was also led by the staff and sat in the front row of the guest seats at the Spring Festival Gala.

Beside Liao Yuan, sat Zhang Henge, Ai Shi and others, and there were many well-known artists and celebrities a little further away. When Liao Yuan just sat down in his seat, the first show officially started.

At this time, Zhang Henge suddenly whispered to Liao Yuan: "Mr. Liao, I heard that Lemon Entertainment plans to bring Han Yu back soon..."

Liao Yuan turned his head and looked at him: "Come back?"

Zhang Henge cheered up: "Yes, this matter is absolutely true. After more than a year of dormancy, Lemon Entertainment has arranged a movie for Han Yu not long ago. Although it is a supporting role, isn't it exactly Is it a sign of a comeback?"

Liao Yuan snorted, and in a moment of thought, he said casually: "What is the attitude of Radio and Television towards artists with bad records?"

"Bad deeds?"

Zhang Henge smiled: "Actually, Han Yu's deeds are really not bad. If he is taking drugs, whoring or something, he must not relapse, but Han Yu is not, he is tax evasion, and he also went bankrupt and paid all the taxes he owed." He is on the list, not even on the blacklist. Right now, the radio and television side can only turn a blind eye to his comeback, otherwise, Lemon Entertainment wouldn’t dare to assign him a role, right? ?”

Liao Yuan was thoughtful.

Zhang Henge added: "Not only Han Yu, but also Huang Zibin have paid all the taxes owed, and they are ready to pay in the near future. They are all artists with a fan base. As long as the brokerage company promotes well, it will be a good fight." card, it is not difficult to restore the former state..."

Liao Yuan said: "It doesn't seem to have much to do with me."

Zhang Henge smiled: "Mr. Liao, there was a lot of trouble at that time. Although we all know that Mr. Wang Rui did it, many people regard you as the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that Huang Zibin and Han Yu have come back one after another, we I think they may hold you grudges in their hearts, you have to be careful, especially Han Yu, I know him, he is a villain who will take revenge, I am not talking about the safety of people's hearts-Mr. Liao should understand this aspect. "

"Thank you for the reminder." Liao Yuan smiled slightly.

What is dirty in the entertainment industry is not the trading of power and money, but a series of means for personal development.

For example, in the previous life, a well-known film and television actor was reported by various Chaoyang people, and after drug abuse and prostitution incidents were exposed, his career as a star was instantly ruined.

There are countless such incidents.

But Liao Yuan is not worried, the first is that he is not afraid of the shadow slanting.

Second, even if he leaves the entertainment industry, he is confident that he can live a good life.

However, Liao Yuan still overlooked one point. He is clean and self-sufficient, but the people around him are not all holy Buddhas.

……

When the Spring Festival Gala was held at halftime, amidst the loud shouts of the hosts, Liao Yuan went on stage to perform.

He had only rehearsed once before, but the whole person was not too nervous. Facing the eyes of the audience and the cameras in all directions, Liao Yuan performed very frankly, just like his sitting posture, straight as loose.

This is a white Steinway piano. Liao Yuan is wearing a white suit, sitting there, the ice mist slowly rises under his feet, as if he is on a ship.

It was pitch black.

But there are stars twinkling in the sky.

This is a 3D projection, and the effect is more realistic when viewed on a TV.

Suddenly, a burst of dolphin chirping appeared in everyone's ears.

On the big screen, a deep sea boiled, and dolphins jumped out of the sea one by one.

At this time, Liao Yuan's fingers began to play on the keys.

The first rhythm was broadcast live and clearly heard by audiences around the world.

At that moment, the audience in front of the TV, computer, and mobile phone screens were instantly brought into a rich imaginary world.

There seems to be a lonely ship sailing on the sea. It neither seeks happiness nor escapes from it. It just sails forward, with the calm blue sea below and the golden sun above.

The prelude is taken from "Ocean", and the vastness of the ocean, its tides and ups and downs, turbulence and calm are clearly revealed in countless transitions, making people unable to help but be attracted by the sea in the dark night.

"Amazing my brother!"

"This song is obviously very quiet, but I am very excited, just like listening to a novel..."

"I saw lonely mountains and rivers, streams of people, long ancient roads, wandering elves, caravans in the desert, marching soldiers, gentle waves, a huge abyss, and I also saw your tears—"

"I heard the phantoms of the old Soviets, Lenin's impassioned speeches, the cheers of the October Revolution, the whine of steam gears, the gunshots that killed Ferdinand, the cannons of the Battle of Leningrad Boom, I heard countless people singing the Internationale in unison, after a moment of silence, I heard people wailing and roaring, I heard women, children, and old people crying on the road, I heard a leader proclaiming a great end, and I heard everything finally fell silent—”

"Yes, the sea in the dark night is the most imaginative place, just listen to it tell those ancient and distant secrets quietly!"

"I came from hell and I want to go to heaven. Tonight, I heard Liao Yuan's performance by chance, so I went down to earth and passed by the world."

"I am drifting in the lonely sea, where the sea and the sky are intertwined. I don't know the direction, and I don't know where to stop. I just know the same thing, keep going forward, and don't look back. Until I find the boundary I want to stay in."

"Damn, poets, all poets!"

"The greatest poets of the 21st century appear in this live broadcast room!"

"Nimma, it seems that you can't pretend to be aggressive in the live broadcast room if you don't show your housekeeping skills. I will also do one: I can row a boat without an oar, and I can sail without a wind direction, because my whole life depends on waves!"

"Life is like traveling against the road, and I am also a pedestrian; I have a bowl of wine to comfort the world."

"Yes, they are all great gods, my younger brother admires them all."

"Passing by, offer your knee by the way!"

Not only in the major webcast rooms, but also on Weibo, there were heated comments on the song "Ocean".

It seems that at this moment, the poets all over the world can't hide - they all jumped out and pretended to be bards!

But it has to be said that Liao Yuan's song contains the ups and downs of various emotions.

Such as haste and relief, tension and relaxation, but in the end all rhythms will also be indifferent.

This seems to be a microcosm of life.

After the "Ocean" segment was finished, Liao Yuan played a classic "Fur Elise" piano piece in the middle.

After this clip appeared, many music-savvy people at the Spring Festival Gala showed frustrated smiles, and some audience members who were itching to hear it walked in the air with their ten fingers, playing along with Liao Yuan's playing.

At the end, an unfamiliar song "Angel's Leap" once again amazed the audience.

In the climactic passage, the majestic melody makes one's scalp tingle, the loneliness, sadness and poignancy are completely evaporated at this moment.

Zhang Henge, Tan Jie, Ai Shi and others all raised their heads and looked at Liao Yuan with burning eyes.

Even if this kind of music is promoted hundreds of years later, it will never become obsolete!
This is soul-deep music that never needs words!

This is master class playing!
The loneliness in the sound of the piano is heartbreaking, as if two people who will never see each other——

I can't see you in the sky, you can't hear me in the dark.

I am on top of the grass, and you are under the fallen leaves. We are obviously very close, but we are so far away that we cannot touch them.

Loneliness is the biggest theme of this song "Angel's Leap".

Love cannot eliminate this kind of loneliness, but it can bring thinking, and it is precisely because we understand the loneliness of others from ourselves and others that our hearts will be filled with the most sincere love for others.

We walked side by side in the dark, on our own pilgrimage paths, unable to know whether we were heading towards the same holy place, because we could not tell others or even ourselves what the holy place in our hearts was like.

When 10 minutes passed, Liao Yuan's performance officially ended.

The entire Spring Festival Gala scene was silent.

Obviously everyone is dressed and dressed up festively, but at this moment, everyone seems to have forgotten where they are, with endless aftertaste on their faces.

Master-level performances can often mobilize everyone's deepest emotions.

When people came to their senses, the applause was surging like a tide in an instant.

Liao Yuan stood up and saluted the audience as a gentleman.

He was actually a little embarrassed. The director Zong Xu is a big bastard. During the interview, he played "To Alice" casually. Later, because of too much time, he added "Ocean" and "Angel's Leap" .

Zong Xu couldn't comprehend the realm in the sound of the piano, he just thought it sounded good, so he made a decision immediately.

Liao Yuan was also too lazy to mix the three songs together at home until he was about to play.

The first two songs are actually not bad, "Ocean" and "Fur Alice" are very fascinating, let people experience the beautiful melody.

But "Angel's Leap" can lead people into an unpredictable abyss, because everyone will have various emotions when listening to the climax passage, especially when it is played by a master pianist like Liao Yuan, It's even more exciting.

Therefore, it is obviously a festive day, but now it makes everyone feel lonely.

But I have to say that Liao Yuan's performance has made many people who don't care about the piano suddenly change their previous views on the piano and music.

A good piece of music represents a kind of thought, love, peace, or all kinds of power in the heart. If this piece of music is played by a top pianist, then this power will be infinitely magnified.

Therefore, many people like to listen to the concerts of world-class musicians.

Of course, when listening to similar large-scale music works, it is best to supplement with some relevant knowledge.

In this way, it is possible to hear the differences in the performance of the same piece of music by different performers, to understand the emotions of the performers, and to formally step into the door of the palace of music.
