Zhang Zunlian YuAdmitted to the Middle w88 casino Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music in 1977 and studied under Professor Jiang Qing, and successfully entered the Central Conservatory of Music in 1982, and has stayed at the w88 casino to teach since graduation. He said that unlike his usual lectures, today he was dealing with non-music major students, so the main purpose of today’s lecture was to cultivate everyone’s interest in this instrument.

Zhang Zunlian is explaining

First of all, Zhang Zunlian introduced the overview of the development of Erhu. Erhu can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. It originated from the nomadic people in the north. After integrating with Han culture, the artistic expression of Erhu has gradually increased, and the scope of artistic expression has gradually broadened, showing the characteristics of advancing with the times.

But in the past, Erhu was only regarded as a kind of street art, and it was difficult to be recognized as a refined art. It was not until the emergence of Liu Tianhua from Jiangyin a hundred years ago that this situation changed. During his teaching career at Peking University, Liu Tianhua composed 10 solos and 47 etudes, standardizing erhu performance, improving the professionalism of this instrument, and making great contributions to the development of erhu in China. Later, the famous composer Liu Wenjin wrote epoch-making works such as "Sanmenxia Rhapsody" when he was in college, extending the content of Erhu performance from the personal inner world to a more macro social perspective. However, compared with the high degree of professionalism and specialization in the Western music scene, Zhang Zunlian believes that there is still a certain gap in Chinese folk music, including erhu.

Zhang Zunlian performs live

Zhang Zunlian believes that to perform every Erhu piece well, one must fully understand the author’s creative background and completely return to the composer’s mental journey. As a demonstration, he then played A Bing's "The Moon Reflects on Two Springs" live. He said that many performers now understand it as a melodious piece, but when A Bing wrote "The Moon on Two Springs", he was actually in a period of poverty, so the performance of this piece should be more tragic and indignant, and reflect the author's helplessness in making a living.

The performance method and the regional characteristics of the repertoire should also be highly consistent. Zhang Zunlian took "Spring Scenes in the South of the Yangtze River" as an example, using soft and rough methods to perform the performance. The difference is significant.

Finally, for amateurs, Zhang Zunlian said that there is no need for these practitioners to practice according to the regular traditional teaching repertoire. They can just choose some popular songs they like to practice according to their own interests.thisIt can also achieve the purpose of cultivating sentiments and soothing emotions.

This event is jointly organized by the Art Education and Training Department of the w88 casino of Continuing Education of the w88 casino and the Chinese Music Department of the China Conservatory of Music.
