Chapter 304 302. The art of suona, a hundred birds chasing the phoenix!

   This musical instrument, obviously, no one in China does not know it...

  Although domestic folk music has been in decline for many years, this musical instrument has always been very popular among the people, and it is often used in some weddings and funerals.

  However, few people in foreign countries know about it.

  Especially top musicians like Charles Howard who focus on the art of classical music have never paid attention to this Chinese national musical instrument.

  Heidi asked in a low voice: "Is this a trumpet?"

Phipps has been in China for a while, shook his head and explained in a low voice: "This is not a trumpet, it looks like a trumpet. However, this is a wind instrument, just like a trumpet. This is called Suona , is a musical instrument often used by Chinese folk."

   "When we auditioned for our musician program, there were Huaxia contestants who participated in the competition with this instrument, but they were eliminated very early."

"This musical instrument has a very loud sound... It requires a lot of lung capacity, and the playing skills are more complicated. The Huaxia contestants who used this musical instrument to participate in the competition last time learned it from their families. They have been practicing suona since they were five or six years old. At the age of twenty, he achieved something, and was specially recruited by Huaxia's Yangyin."

   "Now, there are very few people in China who know how to play this kind of musical instrument..."

  Heidi and Professor Hessian both looked at Phipps in surprise. They didn't expect Phipps to know so much.

  However, their attention was once again attracted by Wang Cheng on the stage...

  Since this instrument is extremely rare in China, can Wang Cheng really know how to play it? Or just pick it up for fun?

  And Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua, Fan Yu and other domestic folk music players all looked at Wang Cheng in shock and speechless...

   Everyone felt that Wang Cheng was simply too capricious.

  Xu Chaohua said in a low voice: "There are almost no people who can hold the suona instrument on the stage now. I don't know if Wang Cheng can do it."

  Yan Qing also said helplessly: "In the past, I had a friend who was very talented in suona. He had learned it for more than three years. But he was always ridiculed by relatives and friends. In the end, he couldn't stand the pressure at home and gave up!"

  They know that this is the living environment of many ethnic musical instruments now!

For example, suona, almost has a kind of local flavor. Most people in the society know this kind of musical instrument is that sentence - there is no soul that can't be sent away by suona, so they almost regard suona as one of the representative elements of white things. one.

  In fact, suona is also one of the main elements of red events.

  Of course, whether it is a red event or a white event, it is actually a folk affair.

  So, suona is extremely down-to-earth, and in the eyes of most people, it has nothing to do with music art.

  Lower Riba people and Yangchun Baixue are almost born to be opposites.

  If a serious suona major student who graduated from Yangyin introduces himself: I graduated from Yangyin Suona major! That will definitely be ridiculed by many people in the society.

   Without the pretentious attribute of tallness, you can't make a living by it.

   Then, parents will naturally not allow their children to study, and of course it will become more and more withered.

and…

  Suona is not so easy to learn. It is not as simple as getting started with piano and guzheng, nor is it as sound as the ladder system of piano and guzheng examinations. You can see your level improve step by step.

  So, everyone present could not have imagined that Wang Cheng actually picked up a suona...

   Throughout the concert, the folk music departments of several domestic music colleges came, and some folk music masters also came to join in the fun.

  However, I couldn't find a music college professor or folk musician who could play suona.

because…

The suona major is also an extremely unpopular major in the folk music department of the music school, and few people apply for it. Naturally, such an unpopular major is not qualified to be brought here by the college at the expense of precious resources, and folk performers who can play suona will not pay high prices. Come here to join in the fun!

  So, the teachers and students of many domestic conservatories at the scene looked at each other, but they couldn't find anyone who could play the suona, and they were not very good at the suona, so they could only say that they knew a little bit.

  Looking at Wang Cheng holding a suona on the stage, everyone was speechless for a moment...

However, most people still had hope and luck in their eyes, hoping that Wang Cheng didn’t really want to play the suona, but just picked it up to have a look, and hoped that Wang Cheng would play the instruments they are familiar with, such as piano, guzheng, violin, etc. You can wait!

Unfortunately…

  Wang Cheng picked up the suona and never let go.

   Tian Wen said with a little regret: "I knew that Wang Cheng could play the suona, so I brought Professor He here! Professor He is the only suona master in China now."

  Chen Yuqi said helplessly: "Uncle He only teaches five students. He is so free, so he is definitely willing to come."

   There are really few people who learn suona. The five students led by Professor He all have family education, so they applied for the suona major.

  Professor He himself is also the successor of Suona master, and his uncle was the only famous Suona master in China. However, none of his uncle's children were interested in suona. Instead, Professor He, who was a nephew, wanted to learn it. Therefore, his uncle passed on the family suona skills to Professor He, and then Yangyin recruited Professor He into folk music. Department, as a professor specializing in suona, and the only suona performer in China who can get on the stage, but he is far from being a suona master.

  Because, Professor He’s uncle has passed away for many years, and now there are no master suona players in China.

  Many folk music experts predict that in about a hundred years, the suona, a national musical instrument, will be lost.

   It is said that in order to support national musical instruments, the country specially filmed a film to interpret the story of a folk suona inheritance. For this reason, several famous folk music professors from the Conservatory of Music were specially invited to serve as consultant experts.

  Zhou Zhe and other Yangyin people did not speak, but stared at Wang Cheng with complicated expressions.

  Wang Cheng's performance of the two erhu works that he connected just now has conquered them all.

   Now, they just want to know what surprises Wang Cheng will bring them?

However, Wang Cheng didn't care about the whispers at the scene and the many strange and expectant eyes. He just held the brand-new suona in his hand, touched the lines on it, and then brought it to his mouth and blew gently, making a harmonious sound. There was something different about the voice she had imagined.

  With the sound of the suona, everyone at the scene was startled, thinking that Wang Cheng's suona playing was about to start, they all sat upright and stared at Wang Cheng.

but…

  Wang Cheng didn't start immediately, but after playing a few times, he adjusted it a few times.

  Everyone who looked at Wang Cheng was a little surprised.

because…

  Looking at it like this, Wang Cheng might really be able to play the suona.

   Otherwise, how could it be so professional to play and debug?

  Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua, Fan Yu and others are experts in suona. Folk music experts can tell that Wang Cheng may really be able to play suona!

only…

Why?

  This question is destined to have no answer.

  I saw that after Wang Cheng adjusted it a little, he picked up the suona and started playing it suddenly.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Cheng, knowing that Wang Cheng was coming for real, that he was really going to play the suona!

  Everyone is also very curious and looking forward to it...

  Wang Cheng knows how to play suona?

  When Wang Cheng started playing.

  A loud suona sounded, like the rising sun in the east. With the louder and louder suona sound, a rising vitality began to brew in everyone's heart, and a festive atmosphere was mixed in it.

  Even if there are 3,000 people present, most of them basically don’t know much about suona, and very few folk music masters who know some suona can’t play it.

  However, most people understand music and understand the art of music...

Foreign musicians such as Charles, Howard, Haixi, Heidi, etc., can see clear pictures from the suona music played by Wang Cheng, as if a group of birds in the fresh mountains are formed by the rising sun. Flying over, every bird is extremely lively and beautiful, full of agility and festive atmosphere, every bird seems to be flying in the same direction, every bird is very excited...

  This kind of clear and incomparable musical expression ability shocked Howard, Scott, Crowder and others again.

  The masters of folk music such as Xu Chaohua, Tian Wen, Fan Yu, who knew some suona, were even more shocked.

  Because, from the process of Wang Cheng's blowing away, they could clearly see Wang Cheng's difficult suona blowing away skills displayed one by one.

  They all have suona majors in their respective music schools, so they all know some suona, even if they don't understand it very well, they still know some of the difficult playing skills.

   And at this time...

  Wang Cheng is using his actual actions to show them the difficult playing skills of suona one by one.

  Sound, slide, flower tongue, finger flower, tremolo... and, swallow, spit, pad, hit, wipe, press and other skills...

  They can all see it from Wang Cheng!

There are also some high-difficulty techniques that have been mentioned by several Suona professors they know, but they can't be used successfully. Sound, air-lip with vibrato, finger-qi with vibrato, etc., their super-difficult skills are all faintly visible...

  So many high-difficulty skills are displayed naturally and smoothly by Wang Cheng alone, and they are perfectly integrated into this song, not just purely showing off skills.

   This is extremely rare!

this means…

  The composition itself is very clever.

   Moreover, Wang Cheng's playing skills are beyond imagination.

  They have heard that these difficult skills don’t need to be played smoothly in the performance, they only need to be able to play it successfully once or twice during the exam, and they can get a high degree...

  While Wang Cheng’s super-difficult suona performance is extremely smooth and has a lofty artistic conception.

   They never heard in their life...

  Even if they listened to the performance of Professor He’s uncle, the only suona master at that time, they didn’t seem to have the artistic conception of Wang Cheng’s suona playing at this time.

At least!

  Wang Cheng's playing is more visual.

  Even though Wang Cheng didn’t speak the whole time, didn’t interact with them, and didn’t introduce this piece of music.

  They can also purely rely on Wang Cheng's performance, listen to the music, sound, and emotional expression, and feel that this is a joyful work, and it may be related to many birds.

They can clearly see from the picture transmitted to them by Wang Cheng's performance, the birds are flying happily to the same direction in the picture, and there seems to be a great and mysterious existence in that direction that is attracting them !

   Such a feeling made them dare not make trouble easily. Everyone listened to Wang Cheng's performance quietly and attentively.

  Even though everyone at the scene was extremely shocked, no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the artistic conception, for fear of missing the clear picture conveyed by the music, for fear of missing the most exciting moment...

  Wang Cheng himself was completely focused on playing the only suona piece he knew.

   And this suona piece is the one he remembers most clearly in his previous life, Bainiao Chaofeng. It is a well-known suona piece in the world, and it is almost a work that can represent the suona instrument.

  Wang Cheng abandoned everything and only had this song in his mind, so he played this song almost perfectly, perfectly presenting the artistic conception in it, so that everyone at the scene can experience it.

   When it reached its climax, Wang Cheng played a long note, making everyone on the scene silent again!

  This vital capacity has amazed everyone, and some people who know Wang Cheng can't help but sigh—Wang Cheng is still a top-notch singer.

  With this lung capacity, it is very difficult to succeed in the field of singers.

but…

   Immediately, they stopped paying attention to these.

because…

  Bursts of powerful suona sounds hit.

  It seems that a group of colorful birds are flying around a divine bird in the air, and each bird makes a clear and cheerful name, and the whole scene is extremely lively and exciting...

  Wang Cheng also showed his difficult playing skills and played this passage perfectly.

   Let everyone's blood boil with excitement, immersive...

Howard unconsciously muttered to himself in a low voice: "God, this is the most incredible live performance I've ever heard. I don't understand this instrument at all, and it's the first time I hear this piece, but I can feel it completely. The artistic conception and picture expressed by this piece of music! This is simply unbelievable..."

Charles nodded and said: "Yes, me too. This is something no one in history has been able to do. It can only be said that he has mastered the essence of this musical instrument called suona, and this piece of music perfectly expresses this It is a perfect combination of musical instruments and his own strength, so it has played a perfect musical artistic effect beyond imagination..."

  Scott: "This is the real art of music! The Chinese national musical instruments have been passed down for so many years, and there is a mysterious power in them, which is incredible..."

   Several people were completely conquered by Wang Cheng's playing of the suona.

Xu Chaohua, who was not far away, said directly in a low voice: "This piece of music should also be composed by Wang Cheng himself. The artistic conception of the interpretation perfectly matches the folklore of the hundred birds facing the phoenix. If I can name it, I hope this piece The song can be called this name."

  Yan Qing also nodded in agreement: "Yes, a hundred birds and phoenixes, and what I feel and see are indeed a perfect fit!"

Xu Zhaohua said with a little excitement in his eyes: "This suona piece is the most exciting, the most artistic, and the most graphic suona piece I have ever heard, and it perfectly integrates almost most of the suona playing skills! The most representative suona songs I have heard are all better, and Wang Cheng's playing ability is definitely beyond the imagination of all of us!"

   "In the era when suona is about to end its inheritance, the appearance of his suona song is of extraordinary significance!"

  Xu Chaohua, as the director and vice president of the Sichuan Music Department of Folk Music, is also a rare authoritative expert in the Department of Folk Music in China. He praised Wang Cheng's suona piece even more, and he also saw the great significance behind this piece!

  If possible, he really wants to kneel down and beg Wang Cheng to join Chuanyin...

  When the people around Xu Zhaohua heard the name Bai Niao Chaofeng, they all nodded in agreement!

at this time…

  Wang Cheng on the stage also slowly finished playing the suona piece.

  Everyone on the scene started applauding instantly.

   There was no cold spot.

  Everyone immediately stood up again and gave Wang Cheng their warmest applause.

  Although, they also stood up just now.

  However, I have to stand up now, otherwise I feel sorry for Wang Cheng's performance!

after all…

   This is the first time they have seen someone who can blow suona to such a level.

   Applause like waves...

but.

  Wang Cheng ignored it, but looked at the suona in his hand with a little regret.

   This suona is too new, and he was not very comfortable with it when he used it for the first time, so he didn't actually reach the most perfect playing state.

   Moreover, this is the only Suona song he knows...

   shook his head helplessly...

  All the people in the audience who saw this scene were speechless, and the corners of their mouths twitched!

   It seems that Wang Cheng is still dissatisfied with his performance?

   The applause gradually died down.

Then…

  Arms up again!

  This time, more people raised their hands.

  In addition to many musicians, teachers and students of the Conservatory of Music, many music and art lovers also raised their hands, hoping to have a chance to talk to Wang Cheng.

But…

  Wang Cheng still didn't look at them, as if he didn't see the presence of thousands of people at the scene, he turned around and walked towards the musical instrument stand, and gently put the suona in his hand on the musical instrument stand.

  Everyone at the scene felt a little regretful and a little relieved when they saw this scene.

  Unfortunately, they can only listen to the wonderful suona performance just now.

  Relaxed, because after all, suona is not their favorite and most familiar musical instrument, and they still hope that Wang Cheng can change to a familiar musical instrument.

   Now that Wang Cheng has put down the suona, will he change to a musical instrument that they are all familiar with?

   Pairs of eyes, all looking at Wang Cheng...

  Looking forward to Wang Cheng's next choice.

At the same time, hundreds of people still raised their arms and did not put them down, expecting Wang Cheng to choose them for a conversation, including Charles, Howard, Claude, Scott, Hanks, Muller Waiting for the top music artists from the world's top music schools in Europe and America, as well as Xu Chaohua, Tian Wen and other top domestic folk music artists.

  However, Wang Cheng still didn't look at them. After putting down the suona, he still turned his back to them and scanned the instruments on the instrument shelf.
