Logically speaking, a concert with only one violin and one piano would be relatively monotonous, but for an hour and a half on the evening of November 25, Russian musicians Vengerov and Varg Papian gave me a colorful and different world.
In the first half of Brahms's two suites, I was not very interested, so I could only close my eyes and follow the music and think. Unfortunately, I was confused and half asleep. I used to think that music that can make people fall asleep is bad music. Just like when an insomniac learns English, he can fall asleep just by turning a few pages of a book, which speaks volumes.
It was only later that I realized that as early as ancient times, the ancestors of China had discovered the healing effect of music in addition to solemn sacrifices and the enjoyment of emperors and nobles. It can relieve tension and reach a soft state, allowing the body to relax. At the same time, it can nourish the body, mind and soul, reach the ideal state, and naturally eliminate all diseases. I think I got enough nutrients in these forty-five minutes, haha.
In the second half, the French music by Ravel and Saint-Sa?ns changed the rhythm, and romantic emotions wandered in every corner of the concert hall. A piece of "Habanese Dance" brings a strong Spanish style. There are more than a dozen wild and unrestrained flamenco girls in red dresses dancing in front of you. It is extremely enjoyable.
The last song, "Hungarian Dance No. 5", was happily played amidst the familiarity of the audience. The corners of Vengerov's mouth in the telescope raised from time to time and he smiled knowingly, and danced his hands with joy. This melodious tune was clearly made by him letting the sweet sounds he knew well in his heart flow from his fingers. It is dazzling, smooth, pure and complete, and is really a glutton for the spirit. .
A person who wrote a public account once said that middle-aged greasy women often feel empty, lonely and cold, and they have plenty of money. How they spend their time is up to each person. A while ago, it went viral among friends and people in various regions. Gurus and Rinpoches are popular in recruiting disciples to make money. Now, there is a sudden rise in white-clothed Zen dance, meditation, and slogans about health preservation and cultivation of body, mind, and soul. A group of bored and empty greasy old women continued to cut leeks, sinking deeper and deeper into the chaotic dance of demons and unable to extricate themselves.
It can be seen that people always have to find a spiritual home for sustenance, otherwise it will be difficult to recover from the loss of talents and talents. Those seemingly noble arts are actually very suitable as carriers of spiritual sustenance. You are destined to be lonely when you are born and die. You spend many times in your life alone, whether you have a partner or relatives or friends. Once you understand this, you can accept pure music.
Just like when I was listening to Ravel's "Violin Sonata No. 2 in G major" played by Vengerov and his partner, I imagined a scene in a Western aristocratic manor in the 18th century. , young aristocratic men and women fall in love and play in the garden, but a powerful man is secretly sabotaging it and leading his gang in an attempt to kill the young man. The woman does not hesitate to harm herself to fight against the power and flee with the man. In the end, the lovers finally get married, such a clichéd plot...
Of course, this imaginary movie can completely vary from person to person. What I want to say is that listening to pure music is like a self-made movie. It's a game you play with yourself, as long as you're happy, it's all kinds of movies that you write, direct, and act in. It's quite lonely, but also quite interesting. When you master such skills, your spiritual home will slowly become richer. Even if no one walks along the long road of life for decades, you can go on happily by yourself without bothering the world or disturbing others. There is no greater happiness than good.
Do you listen to any relaxing music?
