The famous conductor Seiji Ozawa said that "the music that must be listened to on your knees" refers to "The Moon Reflected in Two Springs"

There is such a story about the origin of this statement:

In the late 1970s, the world-class Japanese conductor Seiji Ozawa visited Beijing for the second time. He conducted the Central Orchestra to perform the string ensemble "Er Fountain Reflects the Moon", which was a great success and was well received by the audience. He received unanimous praise and people stood up and applauded him for a long time. Because everyone didn't expect that "Er Quan Ying Yue" could be played like this, and it was played so movingly.

However, the master's good mood after the successful performance was completely shattered after just one night. Master Ozawa visited the Central Conservatory of Music the next day and specially listened to the original piece of Erhu solo "Er Quan Ying Yue". At that time, the person who played for him was Jiang Jianhua, a 17-year-old girl from the Folk Music Department of the Central Conservatory of Music. She was dignified and elegant, with a solemn expression. After starting with a long sigh, the melody gradually rose, sometimes like weeping, sometimes sad and desolate, sometimes lingering. As Ozawa listened, he couldn't help but cover his face and cry. Suddenly, he knelt down from his chair. Everyone present was shocked, and the little girl stopped playing at a loss. The dean of the Central Conservatory of Music sitting next to him was also shocked. He thought something had happened to his body and quickly took his hand to help him sit in his seat. But Ozawa Seiji refused. He said with the unique piety of Easterners: "You should kneel down to listen to this kind of music. Sitting or standing to listen is extremely disrespectful." In fact, there was an episode at that time. A Chinese escort said: "This is just a piece of music composed by a homeless man." This meant that Master Ozawa did not have to kneel down to listen.

However, the master was unmoved. He kept kneeling with his knees together until the end of the song. After the performance, Ozawa stood up with tears streaming down his face, bowed affectionately to the little girl Jiang Jianhua, and said, "Thank you for your performance. If I had heard you play it on the erhu earlier, I would not have dared to conduct the orchestra." Play it again." Then he murmured to himself, "This is a real piece of music, a world-class song."

Seiji Ozawa knelt down sincerely. Because of his inner passion and emotion for music, and the deep reverence for good music deep in his soul. A great work is a history of the soul, which reflects the reason why people stand. This kind of standing is not only about life activities, nor about life experience, but also about personality. Master Ozawa's kneeling to listen makes his image taller and his personality even more noble. Several years later, Jiang Jianhua, who had become an erhu performer, once again played "Er Quan Ying Yue" for Master Ozawa. This time he did not kneel down or shed tears. However, the author believes that he must have knelt down and listened in his heart. Tearful.
