Chapter 64 64. Carmen is a Free Spirit

There is a different Carmen in everyone's heart.

----

Carmen is a simple story.

Carmen, a female worker in a tobacco processing factory, a charming gypsy girl, falls in love with Don Jose, a corporal in the army, and the two quickly fall in love.

After Don Jose fell in love with Carmen, he separated from his original wife. However, Carmen and Don Jose's personalities did not match, so that the conflict between the two became more intense. The resolute Carmen chose to end this relationship.

Don Jose repeatedly tried to keep Carmen's heart but failed to call it back. At the moment when the audience cheered for Carmen's new love, he took out the dagger.

A cold light flashed, and Carmen fell into a pool of blood.

Falling into the arms of the man she once loved.

Undoubtedly, the dazzling ending of the story cruelly exposes the real life, but it is depressing and heavy, and it also deeply inspires the inspiration and fantasy of countless musicians.

In the world of music art, anyone can be Carmen.

Each player can freely display a strong personal style and emotional changes.

Because everyone has a different Carmen in their hearts.

The heavy first theme seems to have planted the seeds for the tragic ending.

The moving part of Chen Xuan's performance is that she did not choose a beautiful tone to describe this section subjectively because Carmen is a female character, but narrated it with a neutral and pure voice like a narration.

The entire paragraph only sets off the atmosphere through the appropriate contrast of strength and weakness, paving the way for the arrival of the next theme in a full and smooth manner.

After finishing the performance of the first theme, Chen Xuan paused slightly, and the speed of finger dropping gradually slowed down.

The melancholic and deep long tune of the second theme seems to be approaching death step by step with heavy steps under her breath.

Inhale and exhale again, it is a heavy sound.

One sentence after another, and one sentence after another, the mood on the stage became more and more dignified.

At this moment, Chen Xuan raised her head after a group of low-pitched two-bar uplinks.

After three consecutive high-sounding syncopated transitions, a long, grinning cry pierced the sky above the hall from the silver flute body.

It seemed to break through some kind of confinement, but after circling a few times, it disappeared into the hot and dry air.

Li An could feel the ending of this paragraph, and Chen Xuan had emotions in her heart that she wanted to express.

However, at this moment, Chen Xuan did not follow the original way of fading out and slowing down marked by the composer, and still played at a moderate speed with a peaceful and confident performance until the end of the paragraph.

Although this treatment creates contradictions with the middle melody, there is also a stunning charm in it under careful scrutiny.

Li An heard stubbornness from it.

Stubbornness is also Carmen, even under the alarm bell of doom, she will not change her pace.

After a few furtive and comical jumps, Chen Xuan's fingers gradually accelerated, and the music seemed to enter a great escape.

The rhythm of priority and urgency is well-constructed, and the orderly descending pattern of triplets in a busy schedule has a solid progression and a smooth attack, as if a full plan has been made.

Suddenly the music pauses in a half-note slur.

After a long period of time, when the journey starts again, the music changes again. Under the repeated crossing and changing of strength and speed, the sound of the flute is like a deer losing its direction.

After a string of dazzling notes, Chen Xuan took a breath and sent the music into a quiet garden called Habanera.

End of the second topic.

Lips moved again, this time the flute's timbre finally changed.

The original pure timbre becomes brighter in the clear rhythm full of jeep style.

With the arrival of the most famous third theme, the melody began to unfold with enthusiasm, and Chen Xuan's performance seemed to be a little more relaxed.

It's just that this paragraph should especially emphasize that the charming and provocative emotions of the gypsy girl were not shown between Chen Xuan's lips and fingers.

Regardless of whether the violin, flute, piano or other instruments are playing this section, they will interpret the role of Carmen through the sound characteristics of their respective instruments, giving her life and charm.

Listening to the whole passage of Chen Xuan, the sound of the flute is a little less aggressive, a little more quiet, a little less wild, and a little more rational.

In the subsequent variation of the erratic triplet chromatic, she only showed some liveliness, not even a little bit of frivolity.

Not to mention Carmen's innate fatal allure in this piece of music.

Only in the last bit of candid expression, there is a bit of femininity and appeal in the sound of the flute.

Fleeting.

Ang Lee had never heard of such a conservative Carmen, but he had to say that the one under Chen Xuan's lips was the one that attracted him the most.

Just like Chen Xuan herself, stubborn yet rational, conservative yet straightforward.

Hearing the music here, Li An couldn't help but feel that the flute bag in his hand was a little heavier.

Some things that have already happened are destined not to be changed, no matter when Wang Panpan comes.

So the first time Wang Panpan appeared, Li An chose to give in and avoid, because he was afraid.

That night at the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music, after he really gave up his self-reliance and replaced the original owner's perspective, he felt that the relationship between himself and Chen Xuan was even more impossible.

There is no way to make any explanation, he acquiesced that he had done those things.

In addition to harvesting Samir's teaching notes, in the next few days he was immersed in the new fingering research and couldn't extricate himself, and basically didn't think about the matter with Chen Xuan.

He had thought that was it.

But seeing Chen Xuan standing in the background helplessly at night, he still couldn't help stretching out his hand.

Hearing Chen Xuan's stomach growl, he even took out his supper on his own initiative.

He didn't think much about what Chen Xuan would think of him doing this.

It's probably like Chen Xuan asked him to eat at noon, and gave him the flute bag for safekeeping before going on stage.

Maybe Chen Xuan didn't think too much about it.

This kind of mental activity with self-expression or hint reminded Li An that he was at the door of the piano room at noon that day.

perhaps.

Or maybe it's just childishness between two adults.

Even if it's just that I think too much. But it has never started, so how can it end.

Once again, he cast his eyes on the charming figure holding a flute on the stage.

A slender figure with uneven bumps, a fair neck, a delicate jawline, a straight nose, focused eyes, and an indifferent expression.

Everyone has a different Carmen in their hearts.

At this moment Li An seemed to feel that Chen Xuan was the Carmen in his heart.

For a moment, the flame that seemed to have not been extinguished rose again from the bottom of my heart.

"call."

Taking a deep breath, Li An felt that he had never been more awake than now.

People can't be beaten to death with a stick.

Raising the corner of his mouth, he clenched the bag even tighter.

The fourth theme on the stage was coming to an end, and Chen Xuan's eyes gradually returned to calm.

At the end of the last story, which was full of struggles, she ended the whole song with a bright and free double voice.

A heart yearning for freedom needs a firm footing every step of the way.

Receive the flute.

Cover your chest and bow.

"Wow———————————————————"

Waves of applause flooded the stage and rushed to the backstage. Hearing the sound, Ang Lee accelerated his search, and in the end he only found a delicate white fake flower among a pile of discarded props.

"Master, can you give me this flower?"

"You want it, take it, take it."

As Chen Xuan walked off the stage, the stage skill assessment of the excellent teachers in Yudong Campus has come to a successful conclusion.

The parents in the audience led the children to get up and leave the seats one after another, and left the concert hall on the second floor of the Huayang Theater with unsatisfied feelings.

-

Carmen is a free spirit, anyone can be Carmen, but not everyone can be Carmen.

Life always opens its doors for the brave.

"Can I take it with me?"
