Chapter 183 Love - Concrete Next. The two practiced again on "Praise of Love". Because it suited Lin Tian's performance very well and out of such selfish motives, Lin Tian asked Gan Yanyu to submit this piece for the semi-finals. Gan Yanyu was very surprised when he learned that Lin Tian chose this song. because, In this song written by Lin Tian for Gan Yanyu. "Praise of Love" is a piece that to this day, the two of them have never played together to a satisfactory degree. For other music, if you play it a few times and find the feeling, you can find the state to some extent. But this piece was not good. Even if he played it very well, Lin Tian always felt that it was just "make do" and his emotions were not in place at all.
The reason is very simple. This is a piece composed by the famous musician Edward Elgar for his fiancée Alice. That year, 1888. Elgar was engaged to Alice. Alice was a very literary woman, so she wrote a poem called "Greetings from Love" and gave it to her fiancé who was traveling far away. At that time, Elgar was on a trip to visit his friend, Dr. Charles Barker. When Elgar saw this poem on the train, one can imagine his sweet mood. So, in response to Alice, Elgar wrote "Hymn to Love". This "love letter" written by Elgar to his fiancée appeared for the first time in the Crystal Palace in the UK one year and three months later. He gave the whole world a mouthful of dog food. More than a hundred years have passed, through this music. Can vaguely feel it. Elgar, 31, had just gotten engaged and was sitting on the train heading to a friend's house. At that time, Elgar was so high-spirited and excited. The carriage shook, looking at the scenery outside the window and retreating continuously. After reading the letter from his fiancée, Elgar took a breath, put the letter on his chest, and felt his heartbeat. At that moment, love was in his heart, It seems to have materialized More than a hundred years have passed. The vicissitudes of life are nothing more than this. The people from back then are no longer there. But Elgar's love was preserved forever in the form of music. Such a song. How should Gan Yanyu experience it?
I don’t know, I really don’t know. She tried many different solutions, but every time she played it, she always felt like something was missing. The prerequisite for empathy is to be able to understand such emotions. If you don’t understand it, you won’t be able to play it at all. In contrast, It's Lin Tian. It’s great to play! It’s really fun to play! ! Lin Tian stretched, feeling extremely happy. Damn it, how did I just discover that it is so exciting to put personal items into the piano? No, there’s no music, it’s all private stuff! ! Just now, he was playing the piano with a smile on his face. Ever since he learned how to inject his own emotions into the piano, Lin Tian seemed to have discovered a new world. Because in the past, his performance was based on following Gan Yanyu, studying Gan Yanyu, and cooperating with Gan Yanyu. Now, Lin Tian began to taste the joy of music on his own in a real sense. The music I played before suddenly became interesting. He feels more and more that music is really the greatest art in the world. "." Seeing Lin Tian playing better and better, Gan Yanyu felt a little reluctant - more out of envy than unwillingness. "Lin Tian, how did you do it?" "Are you referring to finding the mood of this piece of music?" "yes." In Gan Yanyu's eyes. Lin Tian is obviously the same as himself, the same age, a high school student, and has never been in love. Why can he find it so accurately? "Have you found a substitute emotion?" Gan Yanyu asked. Just like the previous performance of the "Pathétique" Symphony in G minor. Although Lin Tian didn't grasp it well, he found a new angle to interpret the song, which also achieved very good results.
This is also a relatively common method in performance. "It's not necessarily a replacement." Lin Tian thought for a moment, but he didn't say anything. In fact, it is in his imagination. The most correct way to open "Praise of Love". Just let Gan Yanyu treat himself as the object of his love - play. This is the right answer! But the particularity of Gan Yanyu’s playing style basically bids farewell to the possibility of interacting with reality. "." The two people were chatting about "In Praise of Love" here. One is constantly seeking knowledge, and the other is seriously thinking and answering. other side. Nunnally sat in front of the counter, holding her chin in her hands. Today she did not tie up her hair, but just wore a red Lolita headdress, and her long golden hair spread on the table. The girl stared at them blankly, lost in thought. "Lilia!" Lin Tian turned around and suddenly shouted towards her. "Call me Nunnally." Nunnally showed a disgusted expression, but she no longer wanted to dwell on this topic and asked, "What's wrong?" "What do you think?" "What do you think?" "I bet you weren't listening at all. Didn't you say you were here to train with us?" Lin Tian smiled helplessly. So, he changed the subject and asked, "Do you think this piece is suitable for us to play in the semi-finals?" "Are you asking a competitor this question?" Nannali narrowed her eyes, "If I say 'suitable', is it possible that I am fishing for you, actually deliberately letting you play an inappropriate piece of music? On the contrary, I said 'unsuitable' because I am afraid that you will beat me with this piece of music." "I know."
Lin Tian said, "So I plan to listen to it the other way around." "." Nannali cursed in her heart. Then, she looked at Gan Yanyu, thinking of the heated discussion they had just had. Suddenly, she lowered her head again, "Gan Yanyu, do you like music very much?" "Ah?" "I said, do you like music very much?" "What are you talking about?" Gan Yanyu slightly widened her eyes, "If I didn't like it, how could I have come to this point today." "Indeed." In order to play a piece of music to satisfaction, study its emotions, substitute its story, constantly change the playing techniques, and strive for perfection. In Nanali's eyes. This is the embodiment of love. If you don't really have extraordinary feelings for music, how can you achieve this level? This feeling is really good. Nannali murmured softly: "If you don't like it, of course you can't get to this point." A trace of bitterness that is not easy to detect appeared at the corner of Nanali's mouth. Becoming a professional cellist and stepping onto the stage of the semi-finals of the Parrot Qin Cup. It is not easy to get here. What do you say about whether you like it or not, whether you are passionate or not. At this point, what's the point of thinking about this? "Okay--" Nannali stood up, raised her hand, and threw her long golden hair to her shoulders. "Today's sparring ends here. The honorable Christine Nanali is very busy and has to leave first." Before Gan Yanyu politely spoke to keep her.
Nanali walked to the door, turned around, pointed at the girl, and suddenly said loudly, "Gan Yanyu, this is a life-and-death battle!" "In the semi-finals the day after tomorrow, I will definitely beat you, I will!" "This is for your 'passion', and for my--'passion'!!"
