Chapter 304 302. The art of suona, hundreds of birds worship the phoenix!

Obviously, everyone in China knows this instrument...

Although domestic folk music has been in decline for many years, this instrument has always been very popular among the people and is often used in some weddings and weddings.

However, few people know it abroad.

Especially top musicians like Charles and Howard who focus on classical music art have never paid attention to this Chinese national musical instrument.

Heidi asked in a low voice: "Is this a trumpet?"

After all, Phipps had been in China for a while. He shook his head and explained in a low voice: "This is not a trumpet. It looks like a trumpet. However, it is a wind instrument, just like a trumpet. This is called a suona. , is a musical instrument often used by Chinese folk."

"During the auditions for our musician program before, there were Chinese contestants who took this instrument to the competition, but were eliminated very early."

"This instrument has a very loud sound... it requires high lung capacity, and the playing skills are relatively complex. The Chinese player who used this instrument to participate in the competition last time learned it from his family. He has been practicing suona since he was five or six years old. At the age of twenty, he achieved success and was specially recruited by Yangyin of China."

"Now, there are very few people in China who can play this kind of musical instrument..."

Heidi and Professor Heisey both looked at Phipps in surprise, not expecting that Phipps would know so much.

However, then their attention was once again attracted by Wang Cheng on the stage...

Since this kind of musical instrument is extremely niche in China, can Wang Cheng really play it? Or are you just picking it up and playing with it?

Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua, Fan Yu and other domestic folk musicians all looked at Wang Cheng in shock and speechlessness...

They all felt that Wang Cheng was simply too willful.

Xu Chaohua said in a low voice: "There are almost no people who can play the suona instrument now. I wonder if Wang Cheng can play it."

Yan Qing also said with some helplessness: "I used to have a friend who was very talented in suona and studied it for more than three years. But he was always laughed at by relatives and friends, and finally he gave up because he couldn't stand the pressure at home!"

They know that this is the living environment for many ethnic musical instruments now!

The suona, for example, almost has a native flavor. Most people in the society know this musical instrument in the same way - there is no soul that cannot be sent away without the suona. They almost regard the suona as the representative element of white things. one.

In fact, suona is also one of the main elements of red events.

Of course, whether it is a red event or a white event, it is actually a common thing among the people.

Therefore, suona is extremely down-to-earth and has nothing to do with music and art in the eyes of most people.

The Lower Riba people and Yangchun Baixue are almost born to be opposites.

If a serious suona major graduate from Yangyin University introduces himself: I am a suona major graduate from Yangyin University! That will definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed by many people in society.

Without the high-level pretentious attributes, it is impossible to make a living from it.

Then, parents will naturally not allow their children to study, and of course it will become increasingly withered.

and……

Suona is not that easy to learn. It is not as simple as getting started with piano and guzheng. It is also not as sound as the piano and guzheng's grading system. You can see your level improve step by step.

Therefore, everyone present did not expect that Wang Cheng actually picked up a suona...

Throughout the concert, people from the folk music departments of several domestic music schools came, and some folk music masters also came to join in the fun.

However, there is no music school professor or folk musician who can play suona.

because……

The suona major is also an extremely unpopular major in the folk music department of music schools. There are not many people applying to study. Naturally, such an unpopular major is not qualified for the academy to spend precious resources to bring it here. Folk performers who can play suona will not pay high prices. Come here and join in the fun!

Therefore, teachers and students from many domestic music conservatories at the scene looked around each other and could not find anyone who could play suona. And they were not that good at suona, they could only say they knew a little bit about it.

Looking at Wang Cheng holding a suona on the stage, everyone was speechless for a moment...

However, most people still have hope and luck in their eyes, hoping that Wang Cheng does not really want to play the suona, but just picks it up to have a look, and hopes that Wang Cheng would be better off playing instruments that they are all familiar with, such as piano, guzheng, violin, etc. You can wait!

Unfortunately……

Wang Cheng picked up the suona and never let go.

Tian Wen said with a little regret: "If I had known that Wang Cheng could play suona, I would have brought Professor He here! Professor He is the only successor of the suona master in the country."

Chen Yuqi said helplessly: "Uncle He teaches five students. He is so free, so he will definitely be willing to come."

There are really few people studying suona. The five students taught by Professor He all had their own backgrounds, so they applied for the suona major.

Professor He himself is also the successor of Suona master. His uncle was the only famous Suona master in China at that time. However, none of his uncle's children were interested in suona. Instead, Professor He, his nephew, wanted to learn it, so his uncle passed on the family suona skills to Professor He, and then Yangyin recruited Professor He into the folk music field. Department, serves as a professor who specializes in teaching suona, and is currently the only suona performer in the country who can perform on the stage, but he is far from being a master of suona performance.

Because Uncle Professor He passed away many years ago, and now there are no master suona players in the country.

Many folk music experts predict that the suona, a national musical instrument, may be lost in about a hundred years.

It is said that in order to support the national musical instrument, the state made a special film to interpret the story of a folk suona inheritance. For this purpose, several famous folk music professors from the conservatory of music were specially invited to serve as consultants.

Zhou Zhe and other people from Yangyin didn't say anything. They just stared at Wang Cheng with complicated expressions.

Wang Cheng's performance of two consecutive erhu pieces just now had conquered them all.

Now, they just want to know what other surprises Wang Cheng will bring them?

Wang Cheng didn't pay attention to the whispers and the many strange and expectant looks at the scene. He just took the brand-new suona in his hand, touched the lines on it, and then brought it to his mouth and blew gently, making a harmonious sound. There was something different about the sound she imagined.

With the sound of the suona, everyone at the scene was startled, thinking that Wang Cheng's suona playing was about to start. They all sat upright and stared at Wang Cheng.

but……

Wang Cheng did not start immediately, but after playing a few times, he adjusted it a few times.

Everyone at the scene looking at Wang Cheng was a little surprised.

because……

From the looks of it, Wang Cheng might actually be able to play the suona.

Otherwise, how could the performance and debugging movements look so professional?

Folk music experts such as Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua, Fan Yu and others who are suona professionals can all see that Wang Cheng might really be able to play suona!

only……

Why?

This question is destined to have no answer.

I saw that after Wang Cheng made some adjustments, he picked up the suona and started playing suddenly.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Cheng, knowing that Wang Cheng was serious and really wanted to play the suona!

Everyone is also very curious and looking forward to it...

Does Wang Cheng know how to play the suona?

When Wang Cheng started to play.

A loud suona sound sounded, like the rising sun in the east. As the suona sound became louder and louder, a rising vitality began to brew in everyone's heart, and there was also a festive atmosphere mixed in it.

Even if there are 3,000 people present, most of them basically don’t know much about suona, and the very few folk music masters who know some about suona can’t play it.

However, most people understand music and the art of music...

Foreign musicians such as Charles, Howard, Haixi, Heidi, etc. can all see clear pictures from the suona music played by Wang Cheng, like a rising sun, a group of flying birds in the fresh mountains. Flying by, every bird is extremely lively and beautiful, full of lively and festive atmosphere. Every bird seems to be flying in the same direction, and every bird is very excited...

This clear ability to express music shocked Howard, Scott, Claude and others again.

Folk music masters such as Xu Chaohua, Tian Wen, and Fan Yu, who knew some suona, were even more shocked.

Because, from Wang Cheng's blowing away process, they could clearly see Wang Cheng's difficult suona blowing away skills.

Their respective conservatories all have suona majors, so they all know some suona to some extent. Even if they don't understand it very well, they also know some of its difficult performance techniques.

And at this time...

Wang Cheng is using his actual actions to demonstrate the difficult Suona playing skills to them one by one.

Articulation, portamento, tongue twisting, fingering, vibrato...as well as techniques such as swallowing, spitting, padding, hitting, wiping, pressing, etc...

They can all see it from Wang Cheng!

There are also some difficult techniques that several Suona professors they know have talked about but cannot often successfully use. They also appear in Wang Cheng's hands one by one, such as tongue punch, air punch, rebound sound, and continuous playing. Sound, lip air and vibrato, finger air and vibrato, etc. Their extremely difficult skills are all vaguely visible...

So many difficult skills were performed naturally and smoothly by Wang Cheng, and they were perfectly integrated into this piece of music. It was not just a show of skills.

This is extremely rare!

this means……

The song itself is very cleverly composed.

Moreover, Wang Cheng's playing skills are beyond imagination.

They have heard that these difficult skills do not need to be played successfully during the performance. They only need to be able to play them successfully once or twice during the exam to obtain a high degree...

And Wang Cheng's suona performance is extremely difficult yet extremely smooth, with a high artistic conception.

They have never heard of it in their lives...

Even the performance they listened to decades ago by Professor He's uncle, the only suona master at that time, seemed not to have the same artistic conception as Wang Cheng's suona performance at this time.

At least!

Wang Cheng's playing is more picturesque.

Even though Wang Cheng did not speak or interact with them during the whole process, he did not introduce the piece of music.

They can also purely rely on Wang Cheng's performance, listen to the music, sounds, and emotional expressions to feel that this is a joyful work, and it may be related to many birds.

From the picture transmitted to them by Wang Cheng's performance, they could clearly see that in the picture, birds were flying happily in the same direction, and there seemed to be a great and mysterious existence attracting them in that direction. !

This feeling made them dare not make mistakes easily. Everyone listened quietly and attentively to Wang Cheng's performance.

Even though everyone at the scene was extremely shocked, no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the artistic conception, for fear of missing the clear picture conveyed to them by the music, for fear of missing the most exciting moment...

Wang Cheng himself was completely focused on playing the only suona piece he knew.

And this suona piece is the one he remembers most clearly from his previous life: Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix. It is a famous suona piece that has a certain reputation in the world. It is also a piece that can almost represent the suona as an instrument.

Wang Cheng abandoned everything and only had this piece of music in his mind, so he played the piece almost perfectly, perfectly presenting the artistic conception so that everyone present could appreciate it.

When it reached the climax, Wang Cheng played a long note, making everyone at the scene silent again!

This lung capacity makes everyone marvel, and some people who know Wang Cheng can't help but sigh - Wang Cheng is also a top-notch singer.

With such lung capacity, it is difficult to succeed as a singer.

but……

Immediately, they stopped paying attention to these.

because……

Waves of powerful suona sounds came.

It was as if a group of colorful birds were flying around a sacred bird in the sky. Each bird gave a crisp and cheerful name. The whole scene was extremely lively and exciting...

Wang Cheng also showed his difficult playing skills and played this section perfectly.

Let everyone's blood boil when they listen, and they are immersed in the scene...

Howard murmured to himself unconsciously: "God, this is the most incredible live performance I have ever heard. I don't understand this instrument at all, and it's my first time listening to this piece of music, but I can completely feel it." The artistic conception and picture expressed in this piece of music! This is simply incredible..."

Charles nodded and said: "Yes, me too. No one in history has been able to do this. It can only be said that he has mastered the essence of this musical instrument called suona, and this piece of music also perfectly displays this." This is a perfect combination of the musical instrument and his own strength, so it produced a perfect musical and artistic effect beyond imagination..."

Scott: "This is real musical art! China's national musical instruments can be passed down for so many years. There is a mysterious power in them. It's incredible..."

Several people were completely conquered by Wang Cheng's suona performance.

Xu Chaohua, who was not far away, whispered directly: "This piece of music should also be composed by Wang Cheng himself. The artistic conception of the performance is perfectly consistent with the folklore of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. If you can name it, I hope this song The song can be called that.”

Yan Qing also nodded in agreement: "Yes, a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, and what I feel and see, it does match perfectly!"

Xu Chaohua said with excitement in his eyes: "This Suona piece is the most exciting, artistic, and picturesque Suona piece I have ever heard, and it perfectly incorporates most of the Suona playing techniques! The most representative suona songs I have ever heard are better, and Wang Cheng’s playing ability is definitely beyond all of our imaginations!”

"In an era when suona is about to end its inheritance, the appearance of his suona song is of extraordinary significance!"

Xu Chaohua, who is the director and vice-president of the Folk Music Department of Sichuan Music University and one of the few authoritative experts in the folk music department in China, praised Wang Cheng’s suona piece even more and saw the great significance behind this piece!

If possible, he really wanted to kneel down and beg Wang Cheng to join Sichuan Sound...

When the people around Xu Chaohua heard the name Bai Niao Chao Feng, they all nodded in agreement!

at this time……

Wang Cheng on the stage also slowly finished playing the suona piece.

Everyone present immediately started applauding.

There was no silence.

Everyone immediately stood up again and gave their warmest applause to Wang Cheng.

Although, they also stood up just now.

However, I have to stand up now, otherwise I seem to feel sorry for Wang Cheng's performance!

after all……

This was really the first time they had seen someone who could play the suona to this level.

Waves of applause...

but.

Wang Cheng ignored it and just looked at the suona in his hand with a little regret.

This suona was too new. It was not the first time he used it, so it was not the perfect performance.

Moreover, this is the only suona song he knows...

He shook his head slightly helplessly...

Everyone in the audience who saw this scene was speechless, with the corners of their mouths twitching!

It seems that Wang Cheng is not satisfied with his performance?

The applause gradually died down.

Then……

Arms are raised again!

This time, more people raised their hands.

In addition to many musicians, teachers and students from the Conservatory of Music, and many music and art lovers also raised their hands, hoping to get the opportunity to talk to Wang Cheng.

But……

Wang Cheng still didn't look at them, as if he didn't see the thousands of people there. He turned around and walked to the musical instrument stand, and gently placed the suona in his hand on the musical instrument stand.

Everyone at the scene felt a little regretful and a little relieved when they saw this scene.

Unfortunately, they could only listen to the wonderful suona performance just once.

It was relaxing because, after all, the suona was not their favorite or familiar instrument, and they still hoped that Wang Cheng could change it to an instrument they were familiar with.

Now that Wang Cheng has put down the suona, will he switch to an instrument that they are all familiar with?

Pairs of eyes looked at Wang Cheng...

Looking forward to Wang Cheng’s next choice.

At the same time, hundreds of people still raised their arms and did not put them down, expecting Wang Cheng to choose them to have a few words with each other, including Charles, Howard, Claude, Scott, Hanks, and Mueller. Waiting for top music artists from the world's top music schools in Europe and the United States, as well as top domestic folk music artists such as Xu Chaohua and Tian Wen.

However, Wang Cheng still didn't look at them. After putting down the suona, he still turned his back to them and glanced at the instruments on the instrument stand.
