Zhuoyang left with Ricardo muti, walked out of Florence's Mayflower opera house, chose a direction outside the gate, and walked away from here.
Although it's still in midsummer, it's sunny in Italy today, but it's not burning at all. The sunshine seems to take a little breath of the sea, sprinkled on the arms and cheeks, as if touched by lovers. The breeze from the Mediterranean Sea flirts with the world like nothing. Zhuoyang walks aimlessly in the breeze.
Tomorrow is the last day of August. This season, Serie A starts a little late. Tomorrow night, AC Milan will usher in the opening game of the season in San Siro. The first round opponent is Bologna.
September is the beginning of the school season. Freshmen and seniors from every university are returning to report to school these two days. Today is the team's day off. Zhuoyang intended to go back to Hanover University of music today to see if he could do something for his younger brothers and sisters. The professors don't like the mess, but his mentor Mr. Norman asked him to visit Mr. muti in Florence.
It's been two years since Hannover arrived at Milan, and the reason why he left two years ago was because of his limitations in creation. In order to broaden our horizons, see more scenery, meet more people and more things, travel for music, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, Zhuoyang left Hanover and madibao.
But two years have passed in a hurry, which can't be said that he has no inch to advance, but Zhuoyang has never been able to make a real breakthrough in his creation, and has not produced a movement of his own.
In the past two years, Zhuoyang has piled up many etudes, some of which are of high quality, which are highly praised by the professors. If Zhuoyang can become an admirable piano master many years later, then a few etudes will go up in the water and the boat will follow forever. If Zhuoyang can't, then they will be little known and disappear slowly, as if they never existed.
Etudes are just a combination of various playing techniques and emotions. They can be long or short, and do not emphasize layout. They are not a complete movement. Just like a writer growing up and honing, with imitation and reference, or even plagiarism, a piece of chicken soup and seasonal novel is piled up little by little.
If Lu Xun didn't have the true story of Ah Q and the diary of the madman, the world would not know that he had many pungent essays. There would not be Lu Xun in the world, only a teacher named Zhou Shuren.
Zhuoyang needs a breakthrough in feeling and perception, a deep touch of the world around him and even the universe. He needs this change to bring him an irresistible creative impulse again and again.
Zhuoyang wants to create music from the soul, which is really his music.
However, two years later, Zhuoyang has been unable to find the breakthrough point of inspiration. The colorful flower buds in the garden have never met the last ray of sunshine that can make the gorgeous bloom.
Zhuoyang often talks about his troubles in front of his mentor, Professor Norman. Karl Norman is at a loss. He suggested Zhuoyang leave Hanover more than two years ago. At that time, Professor Norman didn't expect that until now, Zhuoyang's stomach was bulging but no works were published. How could there be one or two tunes that are slightly childish.
So Norman thought of Ricardo muti.
Ricardo muti, 67, is one of the most famous conductors and composers in Italy. He is now the chief conductor of the Chamber Orchestra of the Florence Mayflower opera house and honorary conductor of many opera houses and bands in France and Italy.
Mr. muti studied in Milan Conservatory of music when he was young. After graduation, he traveled in European classical music. When he began to try to create, he also met Zhuoyang's dilemma. In the course of ten years, Mr. moody has never been able to create a piece of music that can satisfy himself, nor can he spare no effort to find a teacher or a friend.
At the age of 38, Mr. muti suddenly opened his mind and created ten pieces of high-quality music in a year and a half, with a wide range of styles. He successfully lived among the famous contemporary composers and became a good story in the classical music field.
Ricardo muti's experience may give some inspiration to Zhuoyang in trouble. Professor Norman and he are good friends in the industry. When we contacted by phone, we learned that he was stationed in Mayflower Opera House recently, so we immediately led this line for our students. Let Zhuoyang visit him to see if he can get some advice and reference.
After receiving the news yesterday, Zhuoyang was full of expectation for this meeting with the master, much like when he was a few years ago in the third level madeborg, he was delighted to learn that he would meet famous stars like Sforza and Klose the next day. However, after seeing Mr. muti, he asked for advice modestly, which disappointed Zhuoyang a little. It was not as rewarding as competing with Sforza and Klose in the German football association cup that year.
Ricardo muti is modest and approachable, but he is not very talkative. He even has some wood. Zhuoyang is completely guiding the topic in their communication, otherwise they will fall into an awkward cold field. Mr. moody couldn't tell me what he had experienced in those years, so he talked about it intermittently for a long time, and the core idea was actually one word - wait!
Let Zhuoyang wait patiently. He has been waiting for ten years. Zhuoyang is only 23 years old. Keep waiting until the day when it's natural for him to grow up.
Apart from that, Mr. moody didn't give any suggestions. It seems that this trip is a vain one. Originally intended for a whole day of communication, it soon became boring. Near noon, Zhuoyang couldn't find any more topics. After the formal invitation of muti for lunch - Zhuoyang is a guest, so it's muti's request - Zhuoyang said with relief.The scheduled flight back to Milan is at 5:00 p.m., an air minibus to Hanover via Milan and then to Stockholm. It's OK to go back to Milan. Zhuoyang didn't change his contract in advance. He liked the city of Florence, so he took advantage of his rare afternoon leisure and walked leisurely.
In addition to the two league away games, Zhuoyang had two times of feilengcui before today. One time, he was dragged to the Uffizi art museum last spring by his niece Feiya meita to watch the Renaissance art exhibition, which was not interesting. On that day, feiametta tried to stay in Florence for the night, which was her lovely and cunning purpose, but she was finally cheated by Zhuoyang's rhetoric to get on the train back to Milan.
Another time last autumn, Zhuoyang came to his left bank branch of Michelangelo Square alone to enjoy the beautiful dreamlike flower Lane opposite. Autumn is the most colorful season. Zhuoyang likes autumn and the flower lane. He sat there quietly for an afternoon.
After walking through Notre Dame's hundred flowers Cathedral, I went to see the quiet and elegant potley garden of Pitty palace. Although it was not autumn, Zhuoyang decided to go to Michelangelo Square, and then to see the enchanting flower lane.
