The story of the musician is very inspiring: the violinist Paganini plays with leather shoes.
Paganini, a famous Italian violinist, is best at playing music with complex and changeable melodies. People who like classical music appreciate his profound piano skills very much.
One night, Paganini gave a concert. After listening to his exquisite performance, an audience thought his violin was a magical piano and asked to watch it. Pug immediately agreed. The man looked at this violin, which is no different from ordinary violin, and felt very strange. Pagani saw what was on his mind and smiled. You feel strange, don't you? To tell the truth, I can play beautiful sounds on anything with strings. The man asked: Are leather shoes ok? Paganini replied: Of course.
So the man immediately took off his leather shoes and handed them to Paganini. Paganini picked up his leather shoes, nailed some nails on them, tied some strings on them, and pulled them up when he was ready. Strange to say, the leather shoes are in his hand, and they are almost like playing the violin. The unsuspecting people listened to this beautiful melody and thought it was played on the violin!
Revelation:
It is no accident that you have to go through a long period of hard training to learn any kind of skills before you can reach the realm of ecstasy and follow your inclinations.

Musician's Inspirational Story: Xian Xinghai
Xian Xinghai, formerly known as "Huang Xun", was born in Panyu County, Guangdong Province, 1905 in a poor boatman's family in Macau. His father died before he was born, and he lived on the help of his mother and grandfather. He entered a private school at the age of six. After his grandfather died of illness, he left school and went to Singapore with his mother. 19 18 returned to China. Because he couldn't afford the tuition, he entered the voluntary school run by the Youth Club of Lingnan University in Guangzhou and joined the school band. At this time, he has shown his talent in music.
Xian Xinghai is a late bloomer. He didn't learn to play the violin until he was about 20 years old, and was dubbed by his colleagues as an "expert in killing chickens"-playing the violin is as ugly as killing chickens. When he first arrived in Paris, he spent most of his time solving the problem of food and clothing. Later, he met Ma Sicong, a China student studying there. He introduced Oberdorfer, the chief violinist of the French Paris Opera House, and Galen, a master musician. The masters admired his perseverance and exempted him from the tuition of 200 francs (about 10 silver dollar) every month. His sonata "Wind" adapted from the famous sentence of Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu "The hut was blown by autumn wind" was put on the program of the new concert of Paris Conservatory of Music, which was broadcast on the radio and became famous from then on.
From 65438 to 0929, Xian Xinghai came to Paris, known as the center of world music culture, to study music. He makes a living by running errands in restaurants and barber shops. He fainted several times under the buttonwood of the Seine River and was almost sent to the morgue by the French police. After that, he was admitted to the advanced composition class of the Paris Conservatory of Music, studied under the famous violinist Oberdorfer and the famous composer Ducas, and wrote his early works, such as Violin Sonata in D minor and Wind Music. /kloc-in the summer of 0/935, he refused to be retained by the Paris Conservatory of Music and returned to China to resist Japan and save the country.
65438-0934, Xian Xinghai was admitted to the advanced composition class of the Paris Conservatory of Music to study composition and conductor. He is the first China examinee in this class for decades. Because of his untidy clothes, he was almost stopped by the French doorman and was not allowed to enter the examination room. After the exam, Ducas, the examiner, announced on behalf of all the judges: "We have decided to award you an honorary prize. According to the traditional regulations of the college, you can make your own material requirements. " Xian Xinghai only said the word "meal ticket", and then he was speechless.
Music can reflect the fate of a nation. Xian Xinghai was discriminated against by the western powers against the disadvantaged ethnic groups during his western learning. On his way back to London, the British customs refused to let him enter the country and detained him for several hours. After returning home, he conducted the Shanghai Industry Orchestra to play Beethoven's Eighth Symphony, but no one in this orchestra came from China. He deeply realized the suffering of the oppressed nation, thus embarked on the road of pursuing revolution and issued a cry of liberation with music. Xian Xinghai came back from the Paris Conservatory of Music and became a celebrity. The Kuomintang wanted to use him to write carols, but mercenary businessmen also paid him a lot of money to write commercial songs such as "There are many beautiful women in the peach blossom nest", and he was unmoved. He carefully composed music for progressive films such as Resurrection, Thunderstorm, Sunrise and Singing at Midnight, and asked for no reward for resisting Japan and saving the country.
During Yan 'an period, Xian Xinghai not only joined the Party in organization, but also reached a brand-new level in artistic creation. Without a piano in Yan 'an, he completed most of his major works and trained a large number of music cadres for the Party. It should be said that this is precisely the result of the influence of the revolutionary environment around him. Xian Xinghai, like Nie Er, regarded music as a weapon of mass liberation, and people always remembered them in their songs.
Xian Xinghai is the pioneer of the new national music in China. He composed more than 200 pop songs, 4 choruses, 2 operas (one of which was unfinished), 2 symphonies, 4 symphonic suites, 1 symphonic poem, 1 orchestral rhapsody, many instrumental solos, duets and a large number of artistic songs, and also wrote many music papers.
