2019 is coming to an end. The end of the year is an important time for everyone to look back on the previous year and look forward to the next year. Therefore, New Year's Day has become very grand, and various activities to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new come one after another. No, I have been paying attention to the Hubei Provincial Library’s New Year’s Concert for a long time, and I took my children to queue up to get tickets early yesterday morning.
Maybe it’s because this concert is completely free, or maybe because there are so many classical music lovers, so at 11 noon, everyone voluntarily queued up to wait at the service counter where invoices were opened at 2:30 pm without eating or drinking. , just to get the qualification to enter.
Chief Yong’s team occupied most of the space on the first floor of the library. The usually quiet and peaceful library seemed particularly restless on this day. People waiting in line were chatting back and forth to pass the time.
Finally got the tickets, walked into the lecture hall, and found that my seat was right in the middle of the second row. I felt so happy that it was not in vain that we had stood in line for so long.
This concert was performed by the Hubei Provincial Symphony Orchestra. I heard that the conductor was the slightly famous Ouyang Shen (although I have never heard of it). This is the first time I have attended a concert in my whole life, and it is also the first time I have taken my four-year-old child to a concert. I want to improve myself and my children’s taste through this free opportunity.
The main instrument played in this concert is the violin. The opening song is a cheerful New Year's song. To be honest, I really can't understand such elegant music and can't feel the joy flowing from the music.
The performers then played Beethoven's "Destiny" and Mozart's "String Serenade". These two international classics are very beautiful, paired with conductor Ashen's soulful guidance from head to toe. , the soul was really shocked. It turns out that the real live concert experience is this kind of experience, where you feel like you want to sway with the beautiful melody.
However, when I played some pieces that I had never touched before, I started to feel sleepy, but the seat was very close to the front, and I felt that falling asleep was disrespectful to the musicians, so I kept holding on. eyelid.
When everyone gradually became tired and lost their initial enthusiasm, Ashen picked up the microphone and spoke: "Generally, there will be an intermission in concerts, but we will not have an intermission this time because the time is short. "However, the beginning of the next piece of music is very calm, which is suitable for everyone to close their eyes and relax. We allow everyone to doze off when playing this piece." So, the musicians performed like magic under Ashen's command. It produced very beautiful and soft notes, and everyone closed their eyes and immersed themselves in it. Suddenly, the music we heard was like a thunderbolt in the air hitting the ground, waking us up. When we opened our eyes, we saw that it was the lovely Ashen who was playing a joke on us, and he stamped his feet hard at the turning point of the music. We in the audience laughed, had fun, and were not tired anymore. There was constant applause in the audience. It turns out that this piece of music is Haydn's "Symphony of Surprise". In this unique way, Ashen allows us to appreciate the charm of this world-famous piece of music.
Isn’t life just like this song? A life that seems to be filled with clear skies and full of flowers may thunder in the next second, dark clouds may appear, violent storms may come, and the branches may drop and the flowers may fall.
Therefore, people should always stay awake and not indulge.
