Why is the violin concerto Butterfly Lovers warmly welcomed by Chinese and foreign audiences?

The violin concerto Butterfly Lovers is one of the most beautiful concertos in China's music history. It is adapted from China's traditional drama-Yue Opera. But this is not a simple transplant. In drama, music is just a form, while in concerto, music is unique and independent, so it is a successful re-creation.

Music is divided into three parts: love, anti-marriage and becoming a butterfly.

The melody of the first part is concise and lively, expressing innocent and happy feelings. One of the dialogues between violins is very touching. The violin is sharp and sonorous, and the cello is deep and vigorous. They echo each other, as if Shanbo and Yingtai were telling endless love stories.

The second part is full of drama, which is also the most difficult part for players to grasp. Sorrow, despair and anger are intertwined. The violin is sometimes sad, sometimes as fast as lightning, suffocating. The band's performance was like a volcanic eruption, pushing the anger to the peak of tragedy.

It also introduces an urgent board of Beijing Opera, which the author intends to strengthen the tragic atmosphere. But some bands omit this part when they play. In fact, this kind of treatment is also very appropriate, because this section of Beijing Opera emergency board sounds as if it is bonded by external forces, rather than an inseparable part of the whole music.

The third part is like an idyll. After the rain in Chu Qing, a gorgeous rainbow was drawn in the sky and butterflies danced. Beautiful melody and slow rhythm are a tribute to beautiful love. And this love is eternal and idealistic.

The whole work is exquisite and elegant, and it is worthy of being a masterpiece.
