Please, come home and practice the piano

Under applause, Boss X came on stage holding a bouquet and hugged old Charlie.

Old Charlie was obviously in a state of excitement. He bowed to the audience three times, and finally walked off the stage with the support of Boss X. The teachers all applauded to get out of the way.

"Thank you." Old Charlie responded to the teachers' enthusiasm with lame pronunciation.

It is indeed a unique concert.

The opening track creates a curtain call atmosphere.

Boss X asked the old man to step off the stage. It was supposed to be the next show, but Boss X came on stage alone with a microphone.

"Does it sound good?" he asked.

"Sounds good!" the children replied in unison.

Boss X did not ask questions, but motioned to the children to be quiet like a speaker.

The scene fell silent for a while.

"Children, this piece is called the Italian Concerto."

"A concerto named after a place."

"You may be guessing that this is a work Bach wrote for Italy, right?"

Half the kids in the audience raised their hands.

"Perhaps some people are guessing that this is a work inspired by Bach's travels to Italy. Is there any idea?"

Most of the children who had not raised their hands just now raised their hands.

"Bach was born in Thuringia, Germany, in a place called Eisenach."

"Bach wrote a lot of works based on regional names, such as French suites and English suites. I know many of you have heard them and even practiced them."

The children nodded.

"But what I want to tell you is that Bach never left his hometown in his life, and he never took a step outside his hometown."

The children were shocked: "??"

The children were in disbelief. In their opinion, Bach is a big star, a big musician, and a great performer today. He should be the kind of big man who holds concerts all over the world every day.

But such a big shot never left home in his life?

So how did he write those works?
"You must be thinking, since he has never been anywhere, how did he come up with the musical characteristics of these places and how did he write them?"

The kids nodded!
"We might as well try to imagine now, what should Bach's Italy look like?"

"Bach was born in 1685, and he composed the Italian Concerto in 1735."

Suddenly a voice came from far away in the back row of the audience: "50 years old."

"Yes, this piece was written by Bach when he was 50 years old."

"What was it about Italy in 1735 that attracted the 50-year-old Bach? What was it that amazed him? Where did his creative inspiration come from?"

Boss X asked three questions in succession, and Professor Martin in the audience once again translated Boss X’s words to the other three foreign professors.

Old Charlie nodded, looking like he was thinking.

How can children know the answers to these three questions, but this does not prevent everyone from having a desire to know the answers to these three questions.

Including Ang Lee, he has never fully understood the collision and intersection between various musical styles in the Baroque period, especially the relationship between Bach and Vivaldi.

After a moment, Boss

Car:!
She was watching this section before setting off!

“Since the thirteenth century, Italy has been the religious and cultural center of Europe.”

"In a free academic atmosphere, the Renaissance brought Western music quickly onto the stage of history."

"Vocal Cantata, Cantata, Opera."

“Instrumental overtures and concertos, especially violin concertos, are the most developed in Europe.”

"In the Baroque period, note that Italian music had two outstanding achievements. One was the birth and rapid development of opera."

"The second is that string instruments represented by the violin have become the highest-status instrument. The violin reached its peak at that time, and almost every Italian composer was writing concertos for the violin."

"There is a very famous figure among them. Do you know who he is?"

Wang Xiaohu: “Vivaldi.”

Everyone looked at Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu was not false at all. The teacher had told them this several times.

"That's right, Vivaldi."

"As Italian musical styles spread across Europe, Vivaldi became the real big star of his day."

"Becoming the object of imitation by musicians all over Europe."

"One day, Bach heard a very moving piece of music from a troubadour at the door of his estate."

“The music was sophisticated, rigorous, and singing.”

"Bach was fascinated by this style."

"No great composer is born with unlimited creativity, and Mozart once fell into the dilemma of not being able to write a melody."

"Not even Bach." "But he loved Vivaldi's music style, so he did this."

Boss X's ears twitched, he looked towards the third row, and asked with a smile: "What did you just say?"

Meng Yanxi: "Copy homework."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Boss X also laughed: "Your metaphor is actually quite appropriate."

Children: "?!"

Xiaobei: "No"

Boss He performed.”

Ha ha ha ha--

Although the children don't quite understand what performance is, they roughly understand it as salary deduction. When they think of the three words "salary deduction", everyone seems to feel that Grandpa Bach is so close to them.

"Think about it, we just said this afternoon how many people there are in the Bach family."

"More than 100 people!" "100 people!" "Many people!"

The children responded in various ways.

"Right, I have to rely on Bach to support him."

"So in order to improve the output and quality of his works, he began to imitate Vivaldi."

"He is not imitating, he is imitating the form of the three movements fast, slow and fast according to the standard of Vivaldi's concerto."

"In the end, he felt that he no longer needed to imitate, so he directly composed an Italian concerto. At that time, he labeled this work - Italian Interesting Concerto."

"Do you know why?"

"Because he didn't dare to use Italian concertos directly. He was afraid of being criticized if he didn't write well, so he added a fun twist, meaning I wrote it for fun, so don't take it too seriously."

"Don't look at it from the current photos, Ang. Bach looks heroic, but in fact he is not very courageous."

Ha ha ha ha--

"As a result, he didn't expect that as soon as this piece came out, it would shock everyone at the time."

"You say it, you say it." Boss X looked at the children in the fourth row, "Just you, what did you just say?"

Lou Xiangnan: "Because this piece of music sounds good, surpassing other people's Italian-style works."

"You are half right. Bach's work did surpass all Italian-style music at that time, but in terms of its beauty, it is not the most melodic Italian-style work today."

The kids don't understand.

"Have you noticed that this is a concerto?"

"Have you ever seen a concerto that can be played solo on a piano?"

The children seemed to understand immediately. They knew that concertos require orchestra accompaniment.

"Yes, to this day, no one can surpass it. This is a concerto that can be completed solo on the piano."

Suddenly, the children felt that Grandpa Bach was really awesome.

"Children, let us review the music just now. In its first and third movements, we heard singing and dancing. In the second movement, we heard lyricism."

"In my opinion, this lyricism is what touches me the most."

"There is Bach's infinite fantasy about music here."

"From today's perspective, this lyricism is beyond the times. Bach used his music to tell us 100 years before the advent of Romanticism that lyricism is not just the privilege of Romanticism."

"Your teacher may have told you about it, or maybe he hasn't told you yet. Now let me tell you that the so-called rigor of classical music comes from its format, not that they are inherently cold."

"Every note has temperature and soul. Vivaldi bathed in the center of art and culture, and used what he saw and heard to compose a melody, which was spread to Eisenach thousands of miles away."

"Bach may have seen Vivaldi using vibrato to outline the carvings on the palace walls and the ripples on the doorframes."

“Perhaps seeing towers soaring into the sky, full of Tintoretto paintings and classical features.”

“Perhaps a magnificent view of the Venetian lagoon.”

"No matter what Bach saw, I think he must have really felt Vivaldi's melody, those pauses and turns, those ups and downs, like a long road of life."

"Bach seemed to have traveled through music from a foreign country and finally wrote such a work."

meal.

"Children, we don't have to have seen Bach or been to Eisenach before we can play the so-called Bach."

"The secret of Bach's music has actually been written in every note of his music."

"I would like to give you a suggestion. When we play Bach music in the future, we might as well think about this Italian concerto."

"Music in the heart."

moment.
