Nana and I took Ning Bao to see a stage musical on the night of May Day. The name is: Play the piano and talk about love.
On the stage, a pair of teachers and students, two pianos, and five backup singers performed a duet about love and life. In other words, conversation.
Blind pianist Xu Zhicheng became blind not long after he was born. He was very sensitive to music since he was a child and began to study music. Later he became a student of the American pianist Van Deten.
On the stage of the performance, teachers and students sat opposite each other in front of two pianos, showing fragments of piano lessons in their lives.
From blues to classical music to pop music, from Chopin to Bach, they gave us a music lesson with their fingertips and conversation.
Among them, the teacher and student took off their coats and pants when they talked about passion. The American teacher took off his shoes and played together on the piano. The teacher and student played four hands together also left a deep impression on me. .
In particular, it was mentioned in the dialogue that pianists are not as expensive as pianos. He also said that if you respect artists, you should not take free tickets to watch performances. He also said that if you don’t understand, don’t pretend to understand. Applauding indiscriminately will destroy the music. The most wonderful essence. It makes people laugh and is worth thinking about.
When I wanted to write about that performance, I asked my daughter, what impression did the musical "Playing the Piano and Saying Love" leave on you?
She said that the teacher and his student took off their clothes and shoes to compete with each other to play the piano, and she felt that their piano learning was very enjoyable.
She said that the teacher was very interesting and she dreamed that she was giving piano lessons to the president.
She said I also know the blues. Blues. is a kind of music.
She said that Zhecheng asked the teacher, what is the smelliest music? The teacher played a song dedicated to Alice. The teacher thought that such beautiful music was placed on a garbage truck in Taiwan as a reminder of the arrival of the garbage truck, so the music turned stinky.
Haha, the sprinkler truck in Zhengzhou is ringing to wish you a happy birthday. Does that mean it has become the "wettest" music?
She remembered a sentence that if Beethoven heard it, he would be so angry that he would come to life.
I think from now on, she will probably never forget that "Für Elise" is Beethoven's piece.
Then she said that it was also fun to appear on the big screen and not be allowed to clap. Very humorous.
When she told me about it again, she couldn't help but sing "You are my eyes".
This week after watching it, I decided to keep a pen record of the music and thoughts in my own life.
In 2015, I took my 6-year-old daughter on a trip to Europe. In the window of a small gift shop in Provence, my daughter fell in love with a music box. The appearance of the music is the pattern of piano keys. She took it in her hand and wound it up. When she turned the music box, the piano music "Dedicated to Alice" played.
Then she went to the store to find the boss. Because of the language barrier, she gestured with her hands to wind up a music box.
The boss gave her an OK gesture, and then took out a music box.
When she saw the appearance, it looked different from the piano keys she wanted. Just stretch out your hands and make the posture of playing the piano.
The boss nodded, turned around and took out a music box that looked like piano keys for her.
The little girl turned the clockwork, and music flowed from the music box.
As soon as she heard the music was not what she wanted, she sang the music to Alice for her boss.
The boss stretched out his hand and said OK, then nodded with a smile and took out the one she wanted.
During the whole process, the two of them did not communicate a word, but because music has no borders and no language barriers, she bought the music box she wanted.
Last year I listened to a program called The Correct Posture for Opening Classical Music. For the first time, I felt that classical music is not difficult.
Many people, like me, are intimidated by the word "classic". Consider it inscrutable.
Because China’s education model gives people a fixed mindset.
Each question has a standard answer, and each article has a central idea.
We have grown up with this kind of training. Once we are exposed to music, we have an innate impulse to understand what is going on? You also need to understand what this means? What do you want to express?
When I think about it, I feel tired listening to music. As a result, not many people like classical music.
Before the Spring Festival, I invited my catering seniors and several sisters to Huiju for dinner. One sister on the way told me that she had booked a column for the Xuefeng Concert and would listen to Teacher Liu Xuefeng’s lectures on classical music every day and then listen to In the last song, she said that the moment the music slowly started playing, she felt that the fatigue of the day no longer existed. All the fatigue disappeared.
Catering is tiring, but music can heal. This is the summary I gave her at the time.
I read a book a while ago, "Baishuo", and there was a chapter in it: when the text ended, the music started playing.
Music is almost impossible to express, but the Chinese people insist on expressing it.
Music is not something you need to understand, you just need to feel it.
Playing the Qin and Talking about Love says:
"What is eternity in the passing time? Love, music, and reading."
Baiyan Songyuan's words
"When the whole world turns its back on you, music will not. It will still stubbornly stay by your side.
It belongs to anyone. It will accompany generations after generations.
Let you know that you are not alone”
