Golden Greenery

Vienna is the capital of Austria and the music capital of the world. It was also the center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

That was the heyday of Vienna. During those half a century, Vienna became the center of Europe, and it also established the urban temperament and scale for it, which has been maintained to this day. Until then, the history of Vienna can be ignored.

The tragic First World War destroyed the empire with a population of 50 million, and it also completely sank the glorious Habsburg family, but after the war, Vienna was still Vienna after the war, and the music of Johann Strauss Still playing over the city.

Vienna is a symbol of Europe, because Vienna does not belong to any nation or anyone, it belongs to a vanished era, it is a dream built by generations with marble, sandstone, and more fashionable cement. In 1914, when Count Berchtold, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was asked what nationality he was, he angrily replied: "I am from Vienna!"

Viennese music also belongs to the world.

There are many New Year's Concerts around the world during each New Year, but the most famous one can only be the Vienna New Year's Concert. Every New Year's Day, many famous musicians hold their own personal New Year's concerts in different concert halls, but no one has ever held a personal concert in Vienna's Golden Music Hall on New Year's Day.

Every year at six o'clock in the evening on New Year's Day, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will play a magnificent movement in the Golden Concert Hall, and Johann Strauss is the never-fading melody in the movement. After more than half a century, even the smoke of World War II failed to interrupt its holding.

The New Year's Concert in the Golden Hall introduces the coming of the New Year to the whole of Europe and the world, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, just like the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

Therefore, on New Year's Day, it belongs to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and any individual or other orchestra's performance can only go to the back row. It is not a question of how much money is spent. A player who breaks the traditional rules of the Golden Hall.

It is quite a high standard to be able to have a performance on the evening of the last day of the year, because this time is in principle the time for the Philharmonic Orchestra to rehearse for the next day's New Year's concert. Senior sister Helen Elena Grimaud can hold a solo piano concert at this time, firstly because of her lofty reputation as a female pianist, secondly because her concert named after Mozart is also an Austrian Part of the event commemorating the great musician.

This year is the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. FIFA wants to take a look at the nobility of the sages. How can Austria, the motherland that is deeply proud of Mozart, be indifferent? The entire commemorative event will last for six months and be held across the year.

Zhuoyang has been very interested in Mozart's music in recent years and has done some research, which is not common in the field of classical music.

It is recognized all over the world that Mozart's music is very beautiful, pure and comforting, a bit like chicken soup for the soul. The serious music industry thinks that his music is not as profound as Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert and others. Mozart's music is full of comfort and straightforwardness, happiness is happiness, and sadness will cry with you. Like a child, Mozart's music is sincere and clear.

Big names in the industry studied Mozart with great fanfare, fearing that their peers would laugh at their shallowness, but Zhuoyang was not afraid because he was young. I am only 21 years old, who is shallow if I am not shallow? I'd be damned if I was as deep as you old gang.

Listening to Mozart's concerto for the first time, you will be greeted with a deep sense of warmth, the color of the music is bright and moist, and the drama required by the concerto is presented by the calm and chic development of the theme. Everything is so natural and inadvertent. Yet simply captivating.

Compared with Beethoven's ocean-like turbulence, Schumann's "clear as a pencil sketch" touch, and Rubinstein's volcanic performance, listening to Mozart, you need to taste the magical connection "like oil flowing". sound.

In Zhuoyang's view,

Mozart's music, like Tang poetry, cannot be analyzed. If the analysis is thorough, the poetic flavor will be lost. It is the affirmation and support of the emotional agitation that cannot be contained, the transformation of the whole body and the comfort of the whole body, the movement of comfort and watchfulness, the shortcut to change the face, the pleasure of no taboos, and the depletion of individual life. The brilliant imprint to come out!

Pianist Horowitz once said in his later years: Mozart is my NO.1, this is the return of the highest level in the evening of life. When Mahler was dying, the last word he uttered was "Mozart".

How beautiful it is to return to childhood! Mozart perfectly explained what it means to return to basics.

If Zhuoyang is now alone in the golden hall to control such a themed session, it must be somewhat difficult. He doesn't have so many deep reserves, and he can't fool these golden ears whose forehead lines look like staves. But as a well-known young man It's no problem for a pianist to serve as an assistant guest.

Zhuoyang played only once and played two pieces of Mozart's music - "23# Piano Concerto Adagio" and "A Major No. 11# Piano Sonata (KV.331) Third Movement", the third movement of KV331 The movement is the well-known "Turkish March".

At the end of the concert, there were less than three hours left in 2007 when the concert ended. The crowd in the golden hall gradually dissipated, and when they left, they were as quiet and orderly as when they came. Among the exiting crowd was a family of three, a middle-aged couple with their daughter, and the beautiful girl was like the rich fragrance of a magnolia flower under the moonlight. Her appearance took away the love of heaven.

His father was a calm and handsome man. This city was the place of glory for his ancestors, and also the place where their family's last glory. The family has been in decline for a hundred years, and now he lives in the small country of Liechtenstein, where he is just an ordinary official who is obsessed with art and stamps. However, as long as he returns to Vienna, his ancient surname will still attract the attention of everyone in the country.

"The young Chinese man just now is amazing. I didn't expect him to play the piano so well. What do you think?" the father asked his daughter.

Walking between father and mother, holding an arm very affectionately. "Yeah! He's even better than he was at his first solo concert three years ago. Father, you should have gone to Hannover with me and mother."

"This Zhuoyang is very interesting. I watched him play football last time. You know that Dad doesn't watch football games very often. He is a layman." Father Franz Joseph said: "But even a layman like me could watch football games that time." It turns out he played very well."

"Well, Franz, why didn't I know that you also watched Zhuoyang play football?" Mother asked curiously.

"Hey, I took it with me to Lisbon last May. I happened to meet His Royal Highness Prince Ergüle, and His Royal Highness invited me to go with him. It was a UEFA Cup final." Franz Joseph said: " Zhuoyang's "23# Concerto" just now is not the best I have ever heard, nor is it the most powerful, but he is the purest "23# Concerto Adagio" I have ever heard. His playing , like streams reflecting each other like spring water flowing down from snow-capped mountains, although it is bitingly cold, it is clear and pure."

"Only a person with a truly pure heart can play such a pure movement. Zhuoyang, he is amazing."

"This young man from the East is very good. He saved Midelle in Hannover that year. According to Ophelia, the relationship between the Swinburne family and him is very close now." Mother Matilda Arabella said . Ophelia in her words, yes aunt, Ophelia Josephine, husband Franz Joseph's only sister, Midelle Swinburne and Geofflyn Swinburne's mother.

"Yes, Mom. Midelle likes him very much!" Under the neon lights of Vienna at night, her smile bloomed like a flower. Hearing her father and mother praise Zhuoyang, she felt unspeakable joy in her heart.

——Brother Zhuoyang, do you know? I'm coming to your concert again.
