Chapter 1207: Guide

"Yo-yo, this performance is very important, Mr. Bernstein should have arrived, we are late..." What time is it now, do you still have time to listen to the performance of street performers? Don't think it's very close to Carnegie Hall, but street performers and musicians who can perform there are completely different levels of people, so this person is very dissatisfied with his behavior.

"Hush~~" YO-YO frowned, put his index finger on his lips to stop his words, and then turned around to listen to Shen Long's performance seriously.

What's so good about that? If they had the ability, they would have performed there long ago, so why would they be street performers in the square... huh? No, the way the cello is played... He is also an insider. Although he is not a performer or a musician, he still needs to have a good taste if he wants to make a living in this line of work. Mouth.

The technique is not bad, but not top-notch, but this kind of performance has never been heard before, no wonder YO-YO will stop and listen, he is so obsessed with the pursuit of performance techniques; now he also understands why YO-YO Will stop and turn to listen to the music.

He has never heard of the words that the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade, or that three people must have my teacher, but it does not mean that there are no similar proverbs in the West. Since the other party's techniques are worth learning, it is not surprising that they are attracted to YO-YO up.

The three-minute performance ended quickly, but YO-YO was a little unfinished. In such a short time, he couldn't fully figure out the opponent's specific skills, so he immediately stepped forward and rummaged in his pockets, but found nothing. When he came out, he couldn't help being a little impatient. Fortunately, his friend followed and handed over a twenty-dollar bill, which resolved his embarrassment.

YO-YO put the dollar bills into the piano case in front of Shen Long, and asked impatiently, "What song is this? And your playing technique is very special!"

"Oh, YO-YO-MA, why did he come to listen to the street performer's performance?" Before Shen Long spoke, Robert Boris and others became excited, and many people in the audience recognized him.

Yes, YO-YO is the Yo-Yo Ma whom Shen Long talked about many times before. YO-YO is his English name. Since he debuted at Carnegie Hall at the age of seven, he has formed an indissoluble bond with this place. , and has since often appeared on the performance stage here, either solo or with other world-leading musicians.

This time, at the invitation of Leonard Bernstein, the first native-born music director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, to participate in a charity concert, the picture Shen Long and Guo Yan saw at the entrance of Carnegie Hall The poster was promoting this performance; Yo-Yo Ma was originally here to participate in the rehearsal, but unexpectedly, he ushered in a surprise.

Shen Long's performance made him feel novel and intimate. He always felt that this performance technique and this piece of music seemed to be prepared for himself.

So I couldn't resist coming over to chat.

If Shen Long heard what was in his heart, he would definitely feel ashamed, right? Because this kind of performance technique was originally Yo-Yo Ma's, and this "Silk Road" was also tailor-made by Tan Dun for Yo-Yo Ma.

"This piece is called "Silk Road". I used some elements of traditional Chinese music. As for the performance of the cello, I used some erhu performance techniques..." Shen Long pretended to be curious and looked at Yo-Yo Ma. Fang's communication was not smooth, and Yo-Yo Ma seemed to have never been to China, so Wang Qiming probably didn't know him.

"A great idea? Are you a musician from China? Oh, by the way, I am Yo-Yo Ma, a Chinese born in France." Yo-Yo Ma stretched out his hand and shook Shen Long.

"My name is Wang Qiming. This is my wife Guo Yan. Nice to meet you." Shen Long looked at his cello and said excitedly, "You also play the cello?"

As soon as these words came out, Robert and Boris laughed. This person is not only a cellist, he is now one of the top cellist players in the world. They kindly introduced it to Shen Long.

"I just came to the United States not long ago, and I'm not very familiar with American musicians. I really don't know Taishan." Shen Long pretended to be embarrassed and said, but in fact, he knew better than Boris and Robert. Yo-Yo Ma's status in the music industry.

Let's put it this way, the highest award in the American music industry is the Grammy Award. If a certain musician can win a Grammy Award in his lifetime, it is enough to have no regrets, and Yo-Yo Ma has won a total of eighteen! Can you imagine what it means for someone to win eighteen Oscars in the film and television industry, or what it means for someone to win eight Golden Globes in football?

Yo-Yo Ma didn't care about this, he was more concerned about the piece and the specific performance skills, so he was going to ask patiently, but his friend had to interrupt them, "YO-YO, if you don't leave, you will late!"

"Okay, I'll leave right away." Yo-Yo Ma couldn't keep Bernstein waiting for him, so he had to leave regretfully, "I'm really sorry, I wanted to communicate with you, but I still have a rehearsal today task; have you been performing here?"

"Yes, if there is no accident, I have been here all the time." Shen Long said, Robert, Boris and others next to him kept winking at him, but Shen Long pretended not to see it.

After Yo-Yo Ma left in a hurry, Robert and the others immediately surrounded him, "King! Do you know what you missed? That's Yo-Yo Ma! If he can play your piece, you will become famous!"

"Is he famous? I only know masters such as Casals, Shafran, and Fournier, and he looks very young." Shen Long asked pretending to be ignorant, just now Robert and the others only had time to introduce this Yo-Yo Ma is just a famous cellist.

"He has performed at Carnegie Hall since he was seven years old! He gave a cello recital here at the age of sixteen, and then continued to cooperate with many symphony orchestras... Even, some people even say that he will become the next Casa Erles!" Robert and the others were a little annoyed.

Pablo Casals is a Spanish cellist, conductor, and composer. He is considered to be the greatest cellist in the last century; Among the cellists of this century, he has made the greatest contribution and is a great artist with epoch-making significance.

"Wang, if you can get his approval, you will be able to enter the New York mainstream music circle." Boris added.

I have known this for a long time, I am performing here just to wait for a guide.
