In Jiuzhaigou, when I enjoyed the crystal clear water, my heart echoed with music.
In Huangshan, when I marveled at the changes in the mountains in various ways, my heart echoed with music.
On the edge of the Yellow River, watching the turbid rapids roll and swirl, my heart is full of music.
At the top of Mount Emei, overlooking the rolling mountains in the sea of clouds, my heart is full of music.
When crossing the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River by boat, faced with turbulent rapids and steep dangerous rocks, my heart echoed with music.
……
Facing the flowing water and mountains, I think of two greatest musicians in human history, Beethoven and Mozart.
Some people may say, being in the landscape of China, why do foreigners' concerts reverberate in your heart? I think the answer is actually very simple. Beautiful music has no national boundaries. Without translation or explanation, it can cross the barriers of language and nationality, communicate with human mind and pluck the strings of emotion without hindrance. In the wonderful rhythm of nature, I can't help thinking of these two musicians. Listening to their music, I don't think they are foreigners, just think they are people like me. They use music to express their views on the world and life, and use music to express their own poems. Their music touched me and excited me. Their music combines nature and human emotions wonderfully, which makes me suddenly feel like a part of nature and a note in music. I remember many years ago, on some sad days, I shut myself in my room and listened to Mozart's piano concerto again and again, from the first piano concerto he wrote as a child to the twenty-seventh piano concerto he wrote in his later years. Listening to these beautiful piano music is like walking along a circuitous stream in the valley. The cool crystal water washed my tired feet and dispelled my troubles.
Mozart's music is like clear water, flowing on the undulating land. The flowing water is gentle and swift, but they will never get out of control and keep a beautiful rhythm forever. They run on a picturesque journey, the shade spreads under their feet, flowers bloom around them, birds sing in their waves, and sometimes the bleak wind blows on the water, and dead leaves dance in the wind ... Such a sight will never destroy the beauty they bring. There are joys and sorrows in Mozart's melody, but his anger can't be found. Mozart can transform all the emotions in the world into beautiful and moving melodies, even his disgust. This is his magic. Isn't his pursuit the ideal realm of art? In the long river of human art, how many people can reach this level? Mozart wrote several concertos for the French horn, all written by hand for an amateur French horn at that time. Mozart looked down on this musician with little education. When Mozart wrote his music, he used the words "donkey, cow and melon" to address the musician, and his disgust was beyond words. Incredibly, however, the melody he wrote on the score is one of the few elegant music in the world. These music were fascinating at that time and have been passed down to this day, which can make modern people intoxicated by their charming melodies. Therefore, some people say that Mozart is the special envoy sent by God to deliver beautiful music to the world. I think Mozart's music will exist as long as human beings exist for one day. No matter how much the world changes, mankind will never reject Mozart's music, just as mankind will never leave running water.
I have heard some people who claim to love music declare that they don't like Mozart. Mozart is so sweet. It seems that liking Mozart is shallow. This view surprised me. In the history of mankind, which musician has created so many wonderful melodies for this world? It is absurd that creating beauty can become a sin. I have heard Mozart's last works, his 40th symphony and his requiem. The music written in poverty and disease hides sadness and confusion in the beautiful and charming melody. Listening to these melodies can only make people attached to life and full of expectations for life. An artist, facing poverty and death, still sings beautiful songs for the world. What kind of state is this? Calling such a realm "shallow" is downright shallow.
Listening to Beethoven's symphonies, few people are not excited by his passion. Even people who don't know much about music can feel the vitality in his magnificent melody.
