The strength, speed, mood, theme, form, genre and style of Liang Zhu's violin concerto.

Liang Zhu Violin Concerto is the work of Chen Gang and He He during their study in Shanghai Conservatory of Music. It was made in the winter of 1958 and premiered in Shanghai in May the following year, with Lina Yu as a violin solo. The theme is a well-known folk story, with the tunes in Yue Opera as the material, using symphony and China folk opera music expression techniques, carefully conceiving the layout according to the plot development, and adopting sonata structure, single movement and subtitles. The main contents are "Grass Bridge Becoming sworn", "Anti-marriage between Yingtai and Taiwan" and "become a butterfly at the Grave".

The whole song takes about 28 minutes. First, describe Liang Zhu's love theme in five minutes, then happy school life, and then send eighteen gifts. From eleven minutes to the second paragraph, Zhu Yingtai went home and refused to get married. Finally, he cried. The second paragraph is about the same length as the first paragraph, which is also eleven minutes. The last paragraph is become a butterfly, which can be said to be the reappearance of the whole song.

The tune begins with a few plucked strings and then a flute, which seems to be like being in the clouds, thus opening the curtain, just like falling from the sky, sweeping away the clouds and overlooking the world, and the scene of the characters gradually becomes clear from the obscurity. First of all, the theme is played by the violin, with two long and two short lyrics and an ending sentence, which is long and weak, as if Zhu Yingtai were telling the past beside him. Then repeat the theme in the bass and return to earth.

The orchestra always plays the theme and fully understands it on the spot. Liang Shanbo, the representative of cello, also appeared, and the two of them were affectionate. The big violin and Ming played the theme, and gradually the violin dominated the melody and introduced orchestral music to emphasize again. When the music stopped, the woodwind instrument continued to fall slowly. Violin solo is deeply soothing and introspective, which shows that Zhu Yingtai has doubts about the future, but still firmly believes in himself. Dare to love! The mood is light, the flute is loud, and the cello is dancing, just like a beautiful spring outing in March. Violin shows skill and is absolutely beautiful.

It's good to get together, but there are always differences. After a good mood, it is farewell. Play the theme variation slowly, like a ruthless step, and eventually leave. The big violin duet is closely combined and inseparable. At the end of this passage, the string played the theme of crying for the first time, predicted the end of the tragedy, and constituted the presentation part of the whole song, "Love".

In the second paragraph, the development department has three segments: strong, weak and strong, which mean fast, slow and fast respectively. At first, the orchestral sound like a big wave represented Zhu Fu's opposition. He continued to play a few bars, as if to say: No! No way! Violin is in fierce competition with it, and the conflict between them is gradually rising. Finally, the whole ensemble played the theme of Liang Zhu to show the exposure of love, and waves finally drowned the theme.

The balcony will gently tell the feelings with the violin and listen with the cello. It's the cello's turn to pour out love, and the violin is easygoing. Suddenly, the music turned sharply, and Liang Shanbo died of excessive sadness and despair, using the method of "tight beat and slow singing" in Yue Opera.

On the way to get married, Zhu Yingtai stopped at Liang Shanbo's grave and cried. The violin screamed: Brother Liang! Broken, staccato sad melody, crying, kneeling, and some memento mori. Gradually, the tears opened and the crying stopped. I made up my mind. In the voice of grief and indignation, I plunged into the grave and suddenly burst open, and the music reached its climax at the same time.

The last part of the music is the reappearance part "Becoming a Butterfly". Under the light and elegant strings, the theme of love reappears, and butterfly lovers becomes a pair of butterflies from the grave, flying freely among the flowers and never parting.

Rainbow Wan Li bloom.

Butterflies in the flowers are in pairs.

Thousands of years cannot be separated from generations.

Chinese violin concerto. He and Chen Gang created. 1959 Shanghai premiere. The works are based on popular folk stories, and with the aria of Yue Opera as the material, the nationalization of symphony music has been successfully explored. The presentation, development and reappearance of the works are based on three main plot fragments of The Legend of Liang Zhu, namely, The Grass Bridge Becomes Righteousness, Yingtai Refuses to Marry, and Butterfly at the Grave. In shaping the musical image, according to the formal characteristics of the concerto, the content and melody of the original music were comprehensively refined, developed and created. According to the needs of the title content, the sonata form is used to express dramatic contradictions and conflicts. In order to give full play to the symphonic effect and highlight the national characteristics, it absorbed the "dialogue" form of singing in China traditional opera, the inverted board in Beijing opera and the arrogant board in Yue opera, and also borrowed some special techniques from Chinese traditional musical instruments to enrich the violin playing art, making it a far-reaching masterpiece in the form of modern national concerto in China. After the premiere, this song was well received by the music industry, and it was widely performed all over the world and in Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other regions.

The violin concerto "Butterfly Lovers" is an inevitable product of the development of China culture to a certain extent. It is a beneficial attempt to express Chinese classical music by borrowing the advantages of western musical instruments, which fully embodies the feasibility of making foreign things serve China.

This song not only gives full play to the advantages of western music, but also gives full play to the characteristics of Chinese classical music. It is different from western symphonies. Up to now, it is not easy for some famous orchestras in western countries to perform butterfly lovers very well and appropriately. Because it is under the framework of western music, it is infused with the nutrition of China culture (Yue Opera).

In a word, this song is a successful example of making foreign things serve China.

Richard Clayderman was born in 1992. Richard performed in China for the first time. When he first came to this ancient oriental country, Richard made many friends in China. Now more than ten years have passed, Richard has more and more friends in China, but what impressed him most is three children who love music. Their names are Shao Rong, Liu Qi and Sun Lian. Richard likes China's music very much. In order to promote China to the world, Richard arranged many China songs for the piano. He is the most foreign artist who has adapted and performed China's music works in the world. When we hear Richard's adaptation of "A Big River" and "Butterfly Lovers" and other music, we will have a sense of intimacy with Richard. We know that Richard used China's music to show his respect for China audience in this way.

Butterfly Lovers

In order to explore the nationalization of symphonic music, he chose this well-known folk legend as the theme, absorbed the tunes from Yue Opera as the material, and successfully created this violin concerto with a title.

The story selects three main plots, namely, "Worship on the Grass Bridge", "Anti-marriage in Yingtai" and "become a butterfly in front of the grave", as the content of music presentation, development and reappearance, respectively, to show the loyal love of young men and women, and to accuse and resist feudal patriarchal ethics. Finally, the description of becoming a butterfly is full of romanticism, reflecting people's wishes and ideals. The musical image of the work is not an imitation of the "card drama" of Yue Opera, but a comprehensive refinement, development and creation of the original drama content and tune according to the formal characteristics of the concerto. Structurally, according to the needs of the title content, the sonata form in the western concerto is adopted, which shows the dramatic contradictions and conflicts well. In terms of artistic treatment, in order to give full play to the symphonic effect and make it have national characteristics, it has absorbed rich expression techniques in China traditional operas, such as absorbing the form of "dialogue" in traditional operas at the end of the presentation department to express the theme of "love between lovers"; The development department's "Crying Grave" uses the inverted board in Beijing Opera and the noisy board in Yue Opera.

In violin playing, I borrowed some playing techniques and effects from China national musical instruments, which sounds very unique. This concerto is melodious, colorful, easy to understand and artistic. Known as "national symphony music" in China, foreign music critics call it "Butterfly Love Concerto". This is a "fascinating, novel and original work."
