In the late 1970s, Japanese world-class conductor Seiji Ozawa visited Beijing for the second time. He conducted the Central Orchestra to play the string ensemble "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", which was a great success and was well received by the audience. People stood up and applauded him for a long time. Because everyone didn't expect "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" to be like this, and it was so moving.
However, the good mood of the master's successful performance was completely shattered after only one night. Master Ozawa visited the Central Conservatory of Music the next day and specially listened to the original song of Erhu solo "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". At that time, the folk music department of the Central Conservatory of Music played for him? 17-year-old girl Jiang Jianhua. She is dignified and elegant, with a dignified expression. After a sigh begins, the melody rises gradually, sometimes crying, sometimes sad and sad, sometimes lingering. Seiji Ozawa listened and couldn't help crying. Suddenly, he knelt down from the chair, and everyone present was surprised. The little girl stopped playing at a loss. The dean of the Central Conservatory of Music sitting next to him was equally shocked, thinking that there was something wrong with his body, and quickly took his hand and helped him to his seat. But Seiji Ozawa refused. He said with oriental piety, "This kind of music should be listened to on your knees. It is extremely disrespectful to sit or stand and listen. "
After the performance, Ozawa stood up in tears, bowed to the little girl Jiang Jianhua affectionately and said, "Thank you for playing. If I had heard you play it with the erhu earlier, I wouldn't have dared to direct the band to play it again. " Then he muttered to himself, "This is the real nature, a world-class famous song."
Seiji Ozawa knelt down sincerely. Because of his inner resonance and affection for music, and his deep awe of good music. A great work is a history of the soul, which reflects the reasons why people stand.
