A rising star in the world of pure music composition
The more Ma Sui thought about it, the more excited he became, and he quickly stopped Dai Tianxiong: "Elder Dai, how about we ask first if there's a full version?"
Elder Dai looked at the eyes of the others, all filled with anticipation; that impatient desire to know was written all over their faces.
"Alright, I'll ask!"
"Everyone, hold on a moment!"
"Nan Ye, the piece you just played should be an ensemble piece, right?"
Nan Ye stood up and faced Dai Tianxiong, "Yes, Elder Dai, Croatia Rhapsody is mainly an ensemble piece consisting of violin, cello, piano, and other instruments.
A pure piano piece cannot fully express its flavor."
Elder Dai and the others exchanged glances; it was indeed as they thought.
They were just about to say something when Nan Ye interrupted: "Actually, North Dust and Wang Xuan both know a bit.
However, time was too short, and they couldn't remember the whole thing. They can probably play about half the piece!"
In fact, at the Musical Instruments Museum that day, Nan Ye had already showcased Croatia Rhapsody and attempted to play it with Wang Xuan and North Dust.
Wang Xuan naturally played the violin, Nan Ye the main piano, and the Western instrument North Dust knew happened to be the cello.
This combination was already perfect.
On the way to North Dust's house, Nan Ye had already printed out the sheet music and given it to the two of them.
As for how much North Dust and Wang Xuan actually remembered, that remained unknown.
The Chairman became spirited upon hearing there was a chance.
Ma Sui was the first to speak: "Elder Dai, the international exchange meeting is imminent. How about listening to the full version first? Regardless of whether it's good or bad, we can make a decision as early as possible.
If the ensemble version is significantly better than the piano version, it can absolutely be showcased at the international meeting!"
The other Chairman all nodded in agreement. At an international meeting, if they could perform a piece originally composed in Great Xia, that would naturally be the best.
It would bring them great honor!
It could also take down the arrogance of these foreigners.
Dai Tianxiong immediately made a decision: "Alright, then the three of you have a go at a collaboration. Play as much as you can remember!"
As soon as Dai Tianxiong said this, the viewers in the live stream became interested:
【Ahhh, I thought I could only listen to a solo today, but now I finally get to hear an ensemble! Is it pure music? Ensemble is definitely more powerful!】
【Hmm, I saw Nan Ye and North Dust's pipa ensemble yesterday, and today they're doing a piano and cello ensemble. These two are really multi-talented.】
【Yeah, I've been looking forward to their collaborative stage for a long time! I thought it would be on the international stage, but it's great that I can watch it in advance!】
【Wang Xuan: What about me? Am I not a person? Where are you putting me?】
【Hahahahaha, Wang Xuan is crying himself unconscious in the bathroom...】
Above the winding stream, there was a stage, not too big, not too small.
This stage was actually for the host, but now the instruments needed by the three were placed on it.
Nan Ye looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, how much of yesterday's piece did you remember?"
Both of them said, "Guess!"
Nan Ye rolled his eyes. Guess what?!
How could he guess something like this!
For someone who had just started, wanting to learn Croatia Rhapsody in one night was a pipe dream.
But North Dust and Wang Xuan were different!
Wang Xuan only learned the violin, and his proficiency was so high that even the Violin Chairman praised him greatly. No one knew how strong his skill truly was.
And North Dust was the same. Although he knew many instruments, it didn't hold him back.
His proficiency in the cello, while not as masterful as Wang Xuan's control over the violin, wasn't too far behind.
Purely in terms of musicality, North Dust was even stronger than Wang Xuan.
For two abnormal individuals like this, learning Croatia Rhapsody in one night was not impossible.
As soon as North Dust's cello came in, it immediately created a sad, somber, and eerie atmosphere.
At the same time, it carried a sense of depth.
This feeling was something the piano alone couldn't bring.
Against the backdrop of the string instruments, the gradually intensifying piano sound played a mournful melody. That despair, helplessness, and sadness slowly permeated.
At the 42-second mark, the entire piece became more spirited.
That feeling of wanting to rush towards dawn, even if broken, became increasingly strong.
The audience felt as if this piece should have been played this way.
Without adding the cello and violin, it felt as if it was the piece's fault.
With the piano version of Croatia Rhapsody, Jiang Linfeng could still sit still.
He just felt that the piece was very new and had great ideas. If it was composed by Nan Ye, then he was indeed impressive.
In terms of playing technique, he was at most on par with himself.
But after adding the cello and violin, Jiang Linfeng couldn't sit still anymore.
The musical texture directly rose several dimensions.
This feeling was like you were just eating plain white rice, and suddenly a plate of visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious braised pork was handed to you.
All the senses were instantly attracted to it.
It was impossible to break free.
It wasn't just Jiang Linfeng; everyone felt the same way.
In a live stream with 60 million viewers, there were only a sparse two or three comments.
This situation was undoubtedly very rare.
After the piece ended, the audience's reaction was much stronger than the previous time.
【Awesome! The piano version felt a bit monotonous, but with the addition of the other two instruments, this piece seemed to be sublimated.】
【This is the charm that pure music should have! As expected, ensemble is the best.】
【Nan Ye and North Dust are indeed the best match! Their pipa ensemble gave me a sense of amazement, and now they can still shock me!】
【Speaking of which, did you guys forget Wang Xuan again?】
【Wang Xuan: Forget it, forget it. Just treat me as invisible. Anyway, you'll never think of me!】
【...】
The group of musicians upstairs were also greatly startled by this piece.
Especially Ma Sui, he couldn't sit still at all.
"Incredible, incredible! The piano version of the Rhapsody might get some small awards if nominated internationally.
But the ensemble version isn't just about small awards.
I'm afraid it will sweep all the major global awards!"
Ma Sui's evaluation of this song was incredibly high.
And that was exactly the case; this piece became popular throughout Earth.
It was even a must-play piece for the world-renowned pianist, Maksim.
Dai Tianxiong asked solemnly, "So, you think this piece is suitable to be put on the international exchange meeting?"
Ma Sui definitely nodded!
"Suitable, it's perfectly suitable! This piece is worthy!"
The other pianists also expressed their agreement!
"Got it. Then for this exchange meeting, Nan Ye's pieces will include one more: Croatia Rhapsody."
When Dai Tianxiong said this, everyone around was momentarily stunned.
That's right!
Nan Ye's ""hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix"" and ""Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue"" were also selected!
That is to say, he just released three pure music pieces, and all three were scheduled for the international stage.
This...
Can't simply be described as a bit impressive!
He is simply a rising, dazzling new star in the field of pure music composition in Great Xia.
