Why did you choose March 1 1 to launch a concert by Bach in the first half and piazzolla in the second half? On the evening of February 18, two young artists sat in the lecture hall on the third floor of the drama shop of Shanghai Duoyun Academy, and talked about the past in detail with Yan Feng, a professor of China Language and Literature Department of Fudan University and a veteran fan.
1921March1kloc-0/day, Argentine piazzolla, who later became a world-famous composer and accordion player of Banduoniu, was born. March 2 1 is the birthday of Bach, a German composer and keyboard player. He was born on March 2 1685. One is the father of classical music, and the other is the father of tango music. The two young performers have long admired them, so Kuang and Mao Jun hit it off and chose a day from the birthdays of the two masters to hold a concert to show their respect. As Yan Feng said, although Bach's music is fun to climb mountains and climb to the top of the mountain, the technical difficulty always makes it difficult for listeners to quickly touch the core of the work, and the time pushes away the Baroque period in which Bach lived, thus increasing the difficulty for us to approach and enter Bach's music castle. Therefore, although the repertoire of March 1 1 concert was arranged by Bach in the first half and piazzolla in the second half, two young performers first explained and played for us after picking up the guitar and portable accordion. This is piazzolla's work.
The movie "The Smell of Women" makes more and more people know that there is a charming music called tango in distant South America. Because they don't know enough, many people mistakenly think that the song "One Step Away" in the movie is piazzolla's work. Although it is a misunderstanding, it is a beautiful misunderstanding, which shows the importance of piazzolla to tango.
1937, 16-year-old piazzolla has moved to the United States with his family and moved back to Argentina with his family. At that time, the pianist artur rubinstein happened to live in Argentina, and piazzolla, who had a certain musical foundation and played the accordion well, wrote a piano with Rubinstein face. After listening to piazzolla's works, the pianist suggested that piazzolla go to the Conservatory of Music to study music formally and systematically.
Piazzolla, who accepted good advice, went to Paris for further study after graduating from the Argentine Conservatory of Music, in order to forget the tango completely and concentrate on studying classical music. However, in the romantic city, piazzolla soon got lost, and he could not find the direction of his efforts. Just when he was at a loss, his teacher reminded him to believe in the music in his hometown. It really sounded the alarm. Otherwise, we may lose a father of tango. Piazzolla is honored as the father of tango in the music world because he promoted tango from the foil of the bottom bar to the repertoire that is often performed in the elegant hall. Goodbye, Nonino, Free Tango, Banduoniu Accordion Concerto, Grand Tango, Forgetting, Angel Milonga, Tango History, Four Seasons in Buenos Aires, etc. piazzolla's works are frequent visitors on the classical music stage.
Kuang and Mao Junhao chose two works by piazzolla for the concert on March 1 1, namely "Four Seasons in Buenos Aires" and "The History of Tango". The two works written by piazzolla for the band are now completed by a classical guitar and a Bayan accordion, and the adaptation is inevitable. Perhaps it is mindful that piazzolla always incorporates classical music elements such as folk songs, fugues, sonatas, arias, romances and mass into his works, and Mao Junyi, who accepted the task of adaptation, also added the "vocabulary" of classical music. Unfortunately, although two young performers performed once in the four seasons of Buenos Aires, they performed once every season. There is no way to get a glimpse of music. Many fans who come to the lecture can't wait to buy tickets at the door after the lecture. They turned on their mobile phones and put the tickets for the March 1 1 concert in their pockets.
Nevertheless, we still expect Kuang and Mao to explain the four seasons in Buenos Aires and tell us how to understand piazzolla's another work, The History of Tango. Our enthusiastic response touched two young people. With their vivid descriptions and beautiful piano sounds, a history of tango has come to the present through 1900, 1930 and 1960:
The tango we heard at 1900 has a strong rhythm and a strong flavor of life;
The tango we heard at 1930 told a very lyrical sweet and sad story, which was still chaotic;
We heard from 1960 that tango is free and easy after being integrated into Posanova style.
We heard that the tango of our time is very strong, that is, piazzolla died on1July 4th, 992. How did the tango he imagined in our time fit this moment so well? This is why piazzolla is honored as the father of tango.
Kuang Hongjun and Mao Junhao, although they only dramatize the tip of the iceberg of The History of Tango that they will present on March 1 1, do not prevent us from imagining the whole history that piazzolla tried to tell with tango, sometimes dark and sometimes bright; Sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet; Sometimes realistic, sometimes romantic.
Listen, Kuang plays Bach's works numbered BWV 1007 on the classical guitar.
I think there is probably no classical music fan who doesn't know that Bach's BMV 1007 is the Vast Cello Suite. Because I like cello, the instrument closest to human voice, and I know that besides cello, many instruments have also adapted Bach's cello suite, so I have never turned on the stereo to listen. This is the first time to listen to a classical guitar playing the prelude of Bach's Cello Suite No.1. If you listen to the cello, it seems that there is a flowing news in front of you, there is flowing air in your ear, and your hands are stretched out as if you feel the flowing sunshine. Then, listen to the classical guitar "cover" Bach's "Cello Suite" prelude No.1. When the strings are plucked, everything is silent, and we can take care of ourselves in the sound of the piano.
While entering the Year of the Tiger, Shanghai seems to have entered the rainy season. It always rains for a few days before the sun shows its face for a while. Shanghai, which is famous for its cold, is particularly wet and cold in winter. After Mao finished playing Bach's "Italian Concerto" on the accordion, the professor had to end the overtime lecture.
Humming the Italian Concerto I just heard, I walked on Changle Road in the rain, and my body was stretched when I came. I think of Professor Yan Feng's concluding remarks, "On this rainy winter night, listening to two young people talking about music, I once again feel the love and beauty that music brings us", which is really good.
