On October 30, this commemorative concert was performed at the He Luting Concert Hall. Associate Professor Huang Qiuning of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music joined hands with two young teachers from the Orchestral Department of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music - violinist Hua Hua and cellist Guo Peiyao to unfold the music in the interlacing of bows and strings. dialogue. The concert also received special support from the Shanghai Foreign Cultural Exchange Association.
The concert kicked off with the violin solo "Songs My Mother Taught Me". "Songs My Mother Taught Me" selected from the art song collection "Gypsy Songs" is known as "one of the most beautiful melodies in the world". Slavic tones and Gypsy music elements are blended into a simple and moving melody, which is the ultimate expression of Gypsy. Sairen's nostalgia for his mother in the night. Kreisler's arrangement of the violin solo highlights the soft and gorgeous tone of the strings more than the vocal singing, giving the work new life. The first half of the
concert also featured three Dvořák pieces from different periods. These works not only maintain relatively unified Slavic folk characteristics, but also have diverse musical personalities, giving listeners a rich listening experience.
"Sonata for Violin and Piano in G Major" is the composer's last chamber music work when he lived in the United States. It is small and exquisite in length, and the music is fresh and bright, full of childlike interest; "Polonaise in A Major" follows the traditional Polonaise The dance style is steady, smooth and lively; the second and eighth pieces of the first set of "Slavic Dances" are performed in a chamber music way. Compared with the symphonic interpretation that is more familiar to the audience, the dramatic tension in the sound contrast is weakened. Conflict, paying more attention to the grainy artistic expression, Dumka's melancholy and Furiante's passionate brilliance are also vividly displayed in the interlacing of bows and strings.
On the stage, the performers cooperated exquisitely with a certain degree of relaxation, accurately interpreting the delicate emotions and national charm of the composer's different musical works.
Among the six piano trio works written by Dvořák, "Piano Trio No. 4 "Dumka"" is the most famous masterpiece. This piece comes on stage in the second half.
Dvořák’s Dumka often combines slow thoughts and memories with fast folk dance music, giving Dumka diverse interpretations of the music genre. The six Dumka movements have different musical characters and melodic characteristics, but they form a unified whole in the progression of the music, which puts forward higher requirements for the cooperation between the performers. At the scene, piano, violin, and cello intertwined and blended with different melody lines in Dumka, echoing each other, which was intoxicating.
After entering the Romantic period, composers were more keen on pursuing large and complex structures and rich and diverse timbres, but Dvořák always insisted on creating chamber music works. These works are born out of the composer's own rich imagination and reflect his simple but fascinating temperament.
From Beethoven, Brahms to Dvořák, in recent years, Huang Qiuning and her musical partners have been constantly exploring classic chamber music works by classical composers and exploring the possibilities of different ensemble forms.
