Chapter 461 The Bible of Violin Playing
Liu Wenting is three years older than Wang Mo, so Wang Mo has no problem calling her sister.
Moreover, Liu Wenting has a relatively outgoing personality, and she and Wang Mo have become acquaintances in the past few days.
So when she heard Wang Mo's shout, her eyes immediately brightened and she said, "Wang Mo, Master Wang, are you going to open a small stove for me alone?"
These days, people from the Chinese music delegation have long admired Wang Mo.
And I also learned that Hao Mingxing’s huge backpack really contained a package of music scores—not just piano music.
So now that everyone heard Wang Mo's words, their eyes widened.
"Brother Mo, did you really write violin music?"
"Brother Mo is awesome."
"Hahaha, I've known for a long time that Brother Mo has a killer move."
"That's necessary. Wang Mo is now a world-class musician and a master of creating new systems. Isn't it easy to write a violin piece?"
"..."
In fact, music is interconnected. A composer who can be called a pianist is not only able to write piano music. It is not a problem to compose other music. It only requires slight adjustments in details.
Just like Zhao Shu, he can write piano music, violin music, orchestral music, etc.
As for people like Romando and Aida who are at the top of the music industry, it is even easier to write any music score. It's just that they are the most accomplished in the creation of piano music, so they are called piano masters.
Simon, on the other hand, has blossomed in all fields of piano music, violin music, orchestral music, and symphony, so he is dubbed the title of music master.
so.
From this aspect, musicians are still slightly less powerful than pianists.
Soon, Wang Mo left with Liu Wenting.
Zhao Shu watched them disappear, with a slight hint of worry on his face.
I feel a little unsure inside.
He knew that with Wang Mo's talent, it would be easy to compose a few violin pieces. Even now, several of Wang Mo's piano pieces can be played on the violin.
However, the piano and the violin are two very different instruments.
A piece of music may sound very beautiful when played on the piano, but it may change when played on the violin.
For example, Zhao Shu himself tried to play "Sea of Clouds Under the Moonlight" on the violin, and found that the performance was completely different.
Because the two instruments have completely different timbres, expressions, and playing techniques.
Therefore, Wang Mo's ability to compose top-notch piano music does not necessarily mean that he can compose top-notch violin music.
When Zhao Shu was troubled in his heart.
Wang Mo had already brought Liu Wenting to a separate room.
Liu Wenting was carrying a huge backpack, which contained her beloved violin.
Violin playing is different from piano playing.
For piano performances, performers usually use the piano prepared by the organizer. After all, this thing is too big to hold by themselves. And the piano itself has little impact.
But violins are different. Every violinist basically has a custom-made violin that accompanies him day and night. They are his most beloved companions.
Every string.
Everywhere.
They are all familiar to violinists.
Basically, most violin players regard their violins as forbidden and will not let anyone touch them.
The same is true for Liu Wenting.
She carefully opened her backpack, took out the violin that had been with her for more than ten years, and then looked at Wang Mo with a smile: "Master Wang, what do you want me to do?"
Wang Mo asked: "Are you playing solo or in concert?"
Liu Wenting said: "Violins are generally played in concert, and rarely solo. After all, the sound of the violin is not like that of the piano, and it is a bit monotonous when played solo. Only concerto can reflect its elegance and nobility. But this time it is world-class. Competition, so solo is essential. First is my solo, and then comes my concerto performance with the team.”
Wang Mo nodded.
This was also what he saw in the system mall. Regarding violin scores, most of them were concertos, and there were very few solo scores.
In this case.
Wang Mo smiled and said, "What were you going to play before?"
Liu Wenting: “Originally I wanted to perform a violin solo composed by Master Simon.”
Wang Mo: "How long do you need to prepare to perform a new solo piece again?"
Liu Wenting: "As long as the score is not too complicated, a few hours is enough."
When speaking, Liu Wenting had strong confidence on her face.
Although she is not a world-class violinist, she can still play a new piece of music easily. It's just that the emotion may be a bit lacking in the early stage, but performing emotion from a piece of music cannot be achieved in a short time.
"good."
Wang Mo nodded and said to Hao Mingxing behind him: "No. 18, No. 23."
Hao Mingxing quickly pulled out two folders from his backpack.
Liu Wenting was stunned: "Two?"
Wang Mo snapped his fingers: "Didn't you say there are solos and concertos? No. 18 is your solo piece, and No. 23 is the piece you and your team played together."
Even though Liu Wenting had been prepared, she was stunned at this moment.
But she quickly came to her senses and took the folder from Hao Mingxing's hand.
Take a closer look.
Number 18 reads: "Chaconne".
Number 23 reads: "Concerto in E minor."
Wang Mo looked at the time and said: "It's getting late. Hurry up and get familiar with the music. Try to get familiar with two songs in the past few days. If you don't understand anything, please call me at any time."
Liu Wenting snapped her fingers: "No problem!"
After saying that, she hurriedly left with the sheet music.
When Liu Wenting left.
Wang Mo sat there and thought for a while, then dialed Zhao Shu's phone: "Mr. Zhao, why don't you come over to my place? I have something I want to discuss with you."
A few minutes later.
Zhao Shu pushed the door open and walked in: "Xiao Wang, what's the matter?"
Wang Mo asked: "Mr. Zhao, have we not arranged orchestral and symphony competitions?"
Zhao Shu shook his head: "No."
Wang Mo: "Then what competition do we have?"
Zhao Shu: "Piano collaborative performance, piano solo, violin solo, violin concerto, these are the four."
Wang Mo understood.
No wonder Zhao Shu only brought about twenty people here.
Music teams such as Australia and North America have hundreds of people. After all, a symphony orchestra has dozens of people.
Wang Mo took a deep breath: "Can I still sign up for other competitions now?"
Zhao Shu was startled, but nodded: "Of course, the music exchange competition is not as strict as sports. After all, one is competition and the other is performance. It's not a big problem if you add programs at any time."
In this case.
Wang Mo raised his eyebrows: "Our country should have its own orchestra and symphony band, right?"
Zhao Shu said angrily: "Of course, what do you think our country is? We still have this background. Even these bands often go abroad to perform, and the level is not bad."
"That's fine!"
Wang Mo snapped his fingers: "Mr. Zhao, look at this."
As he spoke, he took out a few folders from Hao Mingxing's backpack next to him and handed them to Zhao Shu.
"This is?"
When Zhao Shu saw the name on the folder, his heart immediately surged.
One minute.
Two minutes.
After almost an hour, the most outstanding musician in China raised his head and shouted with red eyes: "I will call China immediately and send a special plane to pick up our most outstanding orchestra and symphony band." come over!"
Wang Mo smiled and said: "Don't be anxious."
Zhao Shu's heart was burning: "No rush? Can I not be in a hurry? I have to let them all come over, this is..."
Wang Mo said: "I didn't say not to let them come over. What I meant was: In this case, why not bring our Chinese National Orchestra over too."
National orchestra?
Hearing this, Zhao Shu was at a loss again.
Why bring them here?
In this kind of international competition, Chinese orchestras are simply not qualified to participate.
Wang Mo smiled mysteriously: "Mr. Zhao, just take it together."
"All right."
Seeing that Wang Mo was trying to pass things off, Zhao Shu knew that he couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement. Of course, he also had some speculations in his mind, but he thought they were too ridiculous.
…
When Liu Wenting and her concerto team were working overtime to become familiar with the new music.
On the Internet, it is still very popular.
Because after the first round of piano performance, the most critical scoring step finally came.
According to previous rules, each piano piece will be scored according to the following detailed rules:
Each piano piece has three days of display time. For example, although "To Elise" is still sweeping the world, it only counts the data of the first three days to calculate the points.
Even if a piano piece reaches No. 1 on the Golden Sound Chart on the fourth day, as long as the data in the first three days are not good, it will not get high marks from the judges.
Such rules ensure fairness to a certain extent.
Otherwise, the piano music performed on the first day will naturally stay on the gold charts for a few more days, and no one will be convinced.
This is why it took three days after the first round of piano performances to start with the violin performance.
These three days are just three days for the final round of piano music to be displayed.
Each piano piece is the final data taken three days later.
Extremely fair.
In every previous trip to the International Music Hall, no one was sure which piano piece would win the final championship until the last minute.
However, this year, as soon as Yevgeny's performance ended, netizens lost interest in the list.
As usual, compete for your country?
Fight for a hair!
Many people commented:
"Why wait three days? The results can be announced now."
"That's right! There's no suspense at all."
"Hahaha, look at the current golden music charts, Wang Mo alone beats everyone."
"In such a situation, waiting three days is simply an insult to others."
Why do netizens say this?
In fact, on the current list, Wang Mo’s piano music occupies six positions.
That scene would make anyone who doesn't understand music feel palpitated.
One person crushed the six major music kingdoms.
One person suppressed a group of piano masters.
This scene is too explosive.
However, fair and impartial officials still waited until three days before posting the announcement.
During the first round of piano collaboration.
Wang Mo scored 28 points alone.
Of the six piano pieces, four received a perfect score of 5, namely "Für Elise", "Croatian Rhapsody", "Canon" and "Blue Danube".
Two songs received 4 points, namely "Dream Wedding" and "Mark of Rain".
Master Simon, who ranked second, only scored 8 points.
Although everyone had expected this score, when they saw the official score with their own eyes, everyone still felt a trembling feeling.
"Oh my God! In one round, an individual scored 28 points?"
"Historically, the highest individual score seems to be only 17 points, right?"
"Wang Mo set another record?! It even exceeded the previous record by more than ten points, oh my god!"
"It feels like this record is almost unlikely to be broken in the future."
“Remove the word feeling.”
"terrible."
"It seems that Wang Mo is bound to get the highest personal honor trophy."
"That's for sure. Just because he created the music form of "Canon", no one else but him would dare to accept this trophy, not even Simon."
"Fortunately, Wang Mo seems to be only very accomplished in the piano field, otherwise he would really be able to crush the music industry by himself."
"indeed,"
"..."
There was shock.
At a loss again.
There is also happiness.
Fortunately, generally for people in the music industry.
Especially people from the six major music kingdoms even breathed a sigh of relief.
Why?
Because Wang Mo, the big devil, will finally not appear again for the time being. Although everyone knows that there will be a piano solo performance later, Wang Mo will definitely perform on stage again at that time.
But at least for the violin performance, there is a high probability that Wang Mo will not be able to come.
In fact, these days, they were fed up with the fear of being dominated by Wang Mo.
Many people tremble in their hearts when they hear Wang Mo's name.
"Wang Mo won't be participating in the violin competition again, will he?"
"impossible!"
"Of course it's impossible. How old is he? Does he still know everything?"
"Unless he really is God."
"..."
Although everyone knows that Wang Mo's musical talent is already a definite master level. But a person's energy is bound to be limited. Since Wang Mo put so much effort into the piano and composed eight top-notch pieces, of course he doesn't have time to study scores for other instruments.
Therefore, everyone is certain: Wang Mo is unlikely to have any in-depth research on the violin.
Even netizens believe that Wang Mo will rest for a few days and will not appear again until the piano solo.
"Brother Mo, we are waiting for you on the day of the piano recital."
"It's still exciting when Wang Mo is around."
"It would be great if Wang Mo could also play the violin."
"Hahahaha, although I'm looking forward to it, I also know it's unlikely."
When it was hotly discussed on the Internet.
No one, not even the reporters, noticed a thing.
Just the day before the violin solo began, a plane took off from the Chinese capital and landed at the New York Airport.
More than two hundred people got off the plane.
At the same time, various large and small bags were transported from the plane.
These objects are obviously various Chinese national musical instruments, including guzheng, guqin, pipa, erhu... and even a huge series of chimes and chimes.
When these people came to New York, they immediately booked a theater on Broadway and isolated it from all outsiders.
Everyone had no idea what they were doing.
Of course, no one cared about the actions of this group of Easterners.
…
Three days later, the violin performance finally started.
Piano performance is a people-friendly yet elegant performance that is loved by music lovers all over the world.
Violin playing is basically a noble activity that is exclusive to aristocrats.
Generally speaking, the general public is basically unlikely to learn the violin from childhood.
First: Violins are generally personal belongings, and there are no training classes outside. If you want to learn, you can only ask for private lessons.
Second: There are very few violin teachers, and even if you want to learn, you can’t learn it, and their levels vary greatly.
Third: Violins are expensive. A high-end violin costs hundreds of thousands, and even an ordinary violin costs several thousand. It also requires constant maintenance. Such prices are not affordable for ordinary people.
so.
Those who can become violinists are basically children from rich families.
And those who can appreciate violin playing are those who have studied music to a certain extent. Many ordinary people always feel that the timbre of the violin is too sharp and harsh, and they cannot appreciate it at all.
In China and other Asia-Pacific regions.
With the opening of the violin performance, the number of people paying attention to this music festival dropped significantly.
Western netizens, on the other hand, like violin far more than Chinese ones, so the number of people in Instagram and other live broadcast rooms has increased instead of falling. Almost most celebrities are sitting in front of TVs and computers, wanting to enjoy a noble performance belonging to the aristocracy.
"Hey! My favorite violin."
"Wait until I take out my beloved violin and let's play a noble performance."
"Mr. Simon, the violin is what you are best at."
"Master Simon was severely trampled by Wang Mo during the piano session. Today he will finally feel proud!"
now.
Metropolitan Opera House.
Simon was equally high-spirited and felt that the sullenness in his heart for many days was gone.
As the greatest music master in the world today, he was crushed to death on the piano by Wang Mo, a yellow-haired boy. Although he was convinced that he lost, he still felt regretful after all.
And now, he has finally reached the violin area where he is best.
So he decided in his heart: This time he must let the world know that he, Simon, is still a great musician, and that he, Simon, can still create top-notch music!
night.
A violinist from Simon's country of Italy appears.
The violinist's name was Francisco, a handsome young man in his twenties. He excitedly said after he took the stage: "What I will be playing in a few days is Teacher Simon's latest work "Poem of the Passage of Time". Please enjoy it." Learn.”
Simon!
Latest works!
When hearing Francisco's words, both the celebrities at the scene and the audience watching the live broadcast all over the world became restless.
"Wow! It's Master Simon's new work!"
"Mr. Simon finally took action!"
"In the last round of piano sessions, Master Simon never came up with any new works. Others played his famous songs."
"It seems that Master Simon is going to make a bigger move this time!"
"..."
Countless violin lovers are excited.
The excitement is understandable.
Because next, they appreciated the beauty of "The Poem of the Flow of Time".
Under Francisco's superb performance, this violin solo composed by Simon was very beautiful, and the audience was mesmerized.
"What a nice view."
"sounds amazing."
"It's not inferior to Master Simon's previous famous songs."
"It seems like another classic is about to come out in the violin world."
"..."
Even Romando, Aida and other piano masters in the audience nodded secretly, feeling that Simon's sword is still young. Because this violin piece is indeed of extremely high quality and can be called a world-class masterpiece.
Simon stretched out his hand and touched his beard, and looked proudly at Wang Mo, who was sitting next to them, with a smile: "Xiao Wang, although my violin music is not as good as your previous piano music, it is not far behind. How much?"
"sharp!"
Wang Mo gave a thumbs up, sincerely impressed.
Simon said proudly: "Although I'm not as good as you in piano composition, the violin... I'm not exaggerating, you should still be a little behind me."
This time.
Wang Mo smiled and said nothing.
Simon continued: "By the way, the next performance seems to be the Chinese violin performance, right? Xiao Wang, have you prepared any new music for the representatives of your country?"
In fact, Simon was just asking politely. He was already convinced that Wang Mo could not prepare and had no reason to prepare.
However.
The next second, Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Yes."
"No? Haha, it's normal, after all... huh?"
As Simon spoke, he suddenly froze.
He looked at Wang Mo in astonishment, his little eyes full of confusion: "What...what did you say? You...did you really get the music for your violinist?"
Wang Mo blinked: "Yes."
This time, it's not just Simon.
The eyes of the other people nearby all widened.
no.
seriously?
Simon felt bad all of a sudden. He opened his mouth, but finally stopped talking.
As for the others, they also fell into silence.
Everyone just looked at Wang Mo with different expressions.
In fact, they never dreamed that Wang Mo would dare to come up with violin music after presenting six high-quality piano pieces.
There are only two possibilities for Wang Mo to do this.
First: Wang Mo is floating.
Second: Wang Mo has this strength.
Which one is it?
No one knows.
But at least at this moment, the hearts of these masters have become uneasy.
Simon, on the other hand, had the most complicated expression on his face. He didn't think Wang Mo could surpass him on the violin. After all, what he was best at was composing violin music. The "Poem of the Passage of Time" played by Francisco just now is even more of his proud work. He has no reason to fail.
So when Wang Mo did this, Simon even thought it was a provocation to himself.
"Very well, I'll let you know later that I, Simon, am not a vegetarian."
Simon took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on the center of the stage.
He was eager to know what kind of violin music Wang Mo had composed.
He also desperately wants Wang Mo to know who is the king of violin.
Uh-huh!
The lights at the venue became soft and dim, and the celebrities in the room fell silent.
Wearing an elegant light blue dress, Liu Wenting walked onto the stage holding a violin.
After Liu Wenting bowed to the audience, she smiled and said: "Hello everyone, I am Liu Wenting from China. Tonight I am playing the violin piece "Chaconne" composed by teacher Wang Mo. I hope you like it."
Hear the words.
Simon nodded secretly. It turned out to be called "Chaconne", and now he knew it.
But Simon didn't know that this "Chaconne" is a classic work of Bach who is known as the "Father of Western Music" on earth. It is also known as the "Bible of Violin Playing". (End of chapter)
