    @dbatbaatar 9 лет назад +543

    For the people who don’t like Erhu, their major complain is about its sorrowful tune. Although you can play whatever music you want with erhu, lots of (maybe most) famous erhu pieces are about unhappy expression such as loneliness, homesickness, life difficulties, sufferings etc. (For example, the most famous erhu piece “Moon Reflected on Second Spring“). Honestly, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s about Chinese culture; maybe it’s inherited in the characteristics of erhu tunes. However, there IS one famous “HAPPY” erhu masterpiece “Horse Racing”. Composed by Huang Huai-Hai in 1964, this music made its debut that year on 4th “Spring of Shanghai” erhu solo contest and soon became famous national wide. This music describes the horse racing event in traditional Mongolian “Naadam Festival”. Its simple rhythm is based on a Mongolian folk song “Red Flag Song”. Inspired by the folk song, the composer Huang successfully expanded the original 16-bar music into an international-wide famous masterpiece.

      Chinese music play by erhu shows how ancient silk and bamboo's sound resonate complicate human feelings. It is especially sad when you hear in the lonely darkness by country people. I am glad musicians playing in modern creative tune.

    • @jetons2582
      @jetons2582 4 года назад +9

      Because classical musicians are not meant to improvise. They are meant to play in orchestras, where they have to learn solo parts and sight read music, they are focused on interpreting the music, the phrasing, the tones, the ensemble playing. It's not a shame, if you want to see musicians improvise, it'd be more appropriate to listen to jazz.

    This instrument has such a beautiful tone!! Also there's something about this piece which I love so much but I can't explain it properly. Something like, whenever I see the piano or any western instrument doing a fusion with any traditional instrument, I never find those pieces interesting. They're always either really slow, just the piano place one chord and then the instrument does something interesting or maybe just plays a boring phrase. It just is really boring ninety-nine percent of the time, but this was just so beautiful.
