A painter's eyes can always see a visual image that suits his feelings on the canvas, and a musician's ears can always hear the whispers of everything. Instead of watching, it is better to listen. It is better to receive mysterious metaphors with your heart and then relay them to people through your works. This is the source of artists' talent and inspiration. Music and painting have different forms, the same ideas and the same structure, so that artists can mix their experience gained from life with melody, rhythm and sound, lines, colors and light and shade to combine works that adults can feel and produce * * * sounds, hold up the pictures in people's hearts with the image of phrases, and convey the voices in people's hearts with the light and shadow of colors.

Because Janice is always busy playing around, I can finally interview her at the Royal Conservatory of Music this time, and I am very happy. When I arrived on time, there was a long girl sitting by the door in the hall with a big bag of things beside her. This is Janice. I went up to say hello to her, and her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly. Then I picked up a big bag of things (as if I had to rehearse after the interview. ) took me to the college canteen, found a quiet corner, and we began to talk about music and life in this conservatory.

It's a little late to learn piano at the age of six.

Dai Li (hereinafter referred to as Dai): "Everyone has accepted different talents from birth and has the best advantage in doing one thing. When you were a child, you chose to teach yourself the piano, and music chose you. Is your road to music smooth and step by step into the hall of music? "

Dzhanis (hereinafter referred to as Wu): "In China, children usually start to learn piano at the age of 3-4. When I was 6 years old, the first teacher said it was a little late, but after studying for a while, the teacher said I made great progress and was very talented. At the age of 9, I was admitted to the public school affiliated to Shanghai Conservatory of Music. There are only six places in Shanghai, and I study under Professor Yao Shizhen. And won the first place in the children's piano competition. "

/kloc-at the age of 0/8, he is not an artist, but a superb performer.

Wu: "When I was 1 1, I didn't win any prizes in a competition. Before that, I was always the first, so I was disappointed. /kloc-When I was 0/8 years old, I gave my first solo concert in Wigmore Concert Hall. A music critic said, "She is not an artist yet, but she is an excellent performer." Foreigners' impression of China musicians is that their skills are good, but their musical expression is not enough. I was very sad at that time. I will pay more attention to expression, understanding music and understanding it with my heart in the future. Now the comments are getting better and better, and I have learned a lot from them. "

Dai: "Some critics compare you to Arthur Robinson, a piano giant:' even more masculine than Rubinstein.' Then, can we understand this masculinity as spontaneous, unrestrained, full, free-flowing, full of efforts and dynamic? "

Wu: "Rubinstein is my favorite musician. Holovitz is more conspicuous. Rubinstein has a great style and a broad mind for melody. This kind of atmosphere is not a big action or exaggerated expression, but all the feelings are concentrated on the fingers. This is an inner strength. This is what I pursue. "

Dai: "Rubinstein was rated as an improviser. Does this improvisation mean that his deductive style is more casual? " Will you add or change the original work at will? Is it spontaneous and more passionate? "

Wu: "It is necessary to improvise, but not too much. We should respect composers and just add our own independent things and different feelings. Only the vibration of the performer's own soul can impress the audience. "

The relationship between painting and music

Dai: "I heard that you are very experienced in the connection between art and music. Can you talk about the different paths of music and painting? This is like sound painting and harmony poetry, which uses images and scenes to hold up the pictures in people's hearts. "

Wu: "I am writing a paper to discuss the relationship between painting and music. Many times musicians compose music when they see the scenery, looking for the ideal timbre for the picture in their hearts, and painters paint when they hear music, looking for suitable lines for the voice in their hearts. Some famous musicians, such as scriabin, think that the 12 note is colored. "

Dai: "Have you ever studied painting?"

Wu: "Before I learned to play the piano, I learned to draw when I was 4 years old. Later, I learned to play the piano, which was more interesting."

Even if the simple scale is re mi, the inner expression is not easy.

Dai: "Your gift is: You have extremely dexterous hands? Still have a particularly sensitive feeling? In other words, do you think you must have excellent skills to express your feelings at will? It is the first time that there is a red flower with music, so that we can consider using the green leaves of technology to set it off, just like the egg or the chicken first. "

Wu: "Feeling is the most important, and skills can be practiced. When I was too young, my understanding was not deep enough because of my lack of experience, but at a certain age, my mind was not as pure as it was when I was a teenager. Therefore, it feels very difficult and important. "

Dai: "Pianists all over China are talking about Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2. Is that music that requires high skills and is difficult to express?"

Wu: "Rachmaninov is a romantic composer. I find it difficult to distinguish what is difficult from what is not. Even a simple scale like 12345 is not easy to express your inner feelings. Tchaikovsky's works are more difficult, and Mozart's works seem easy, but they are actually difficult to understand. "

Dai: "That's why old musicians like Mozart's works. Rubinstein and Holovitz loved Mozart in their later years. When you have some experience, you will re-recognize, understand and correct previous misunderstandings. "

Like a little "salt"

Dai: "Rachmaninov's creative features are full of disharmony and tragedy. The commotion and anxiety hidden under the notes strongly touched people's hearts, even after the bright tail of music, it still lingered. Do you feel the same way? "

Wu: "My first teacher, Professor Yao Shizhen, studied in Russia. My teacher in Mei Niuyin Conservatory of Music is also Russian. She once won the first prize in Chopin's piano competition, and now she has passed away. I have also been to Russia, where I feel depressed when I see people's faces. I think the songs of Russian composers always have a feeling of sadness and nostalgia, that is, happy songs, happy songs. This feeling is also everywhere, it seems a little. "

Only by touching yourself can you touch the audience.

Dai: "Xiao Banglian's etudes are also beautifully written. His music is beautiful and moving,' like a gun hidden in a flower' (Schumann), but behind the music is a cry that tears the soul. I think this is extremely demanding for performers. How can the audience hear it and stir the deepest part of the audience's soul? "

Wu: "Chopin is a pianist himself. No matter how difficult the music is, it is comfortable to play, and some composers' works will be awkward. "I remember the first time I was lovelorn, I was so sad that I couldn't eat and sleep. When I was going to perform in Germany, I played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I was very moved at that time and kept crying. The audience is very sensitive. They didn't see me crying, but they were all crying. So I hope to be moved before the performance. People are trembling and excited. Touching yourself first can touch the audience. "

Dai: "Do you get nervous before the performance?"

Wu: "When I was 9 years old, I was very nervous for the first time. After that, I was not nervous. As soon as I sat on the piano stool, I entered the world of works without thinking too much. "

Impressionist works focus on the different changes of harmony.

Dai: "Is Albertnis Isaac Albeniz's music a strong Spanish dance style or an early impressionist style? In my impression, Impressionism and expressionism's music are synonymous with no melody. All the notes are abrupt and incoherent, but the composer captures the inspiration sporadically. Is that so? "

Wu: "Impressionist works pay attention to the variation of harmony. Impressionist paintings, combined with sound groups, have a vague feeling, which is very sensitive and hidden. "

Treat every concert seriously and responsibly.

Dai: "Tell me about your most memorable recital and your dream performance. It is the ideal beauty that you want to express in the past, present and future. "

Wu: "Of course, I hope to hold a concert in the Royal Palace most, but I will treat every concert seriously and responsibly, no matter how small. This is the character that a musician should have. "

Music of all schools is beautiful.

Dai: "Rubinstein's most famous sentence fully expressed his feelings:' For Germans, I am Russian, for Russians, I am German, for Christianity, I am Jewish, for classical musicians, I am Wagner style, and for those with Wagner style, I am conservative. I am not a fish in the water, nor a bird on the ground. Do you also have: For the British, I come from China; for China, I am educated and influenced by the West and play with Western things? "

Wu: "I/kloc-came to England at the age of 0/3 and absorbed a lot of western culture. Music has no borders, and the circle is richer and bigger. The music of all factions is beautiful and human. Every time I return to China, I am delighted to find that the music industry in China has developed rapidly and comprehensively. But Britain respects talents very much. I think musicians belong to the world. "

Dai: "You have influence in both the East and the West. How can you do this? " Both the East and the West use the greatest space to encourage and explore talented artists and create a background against their talents. Where do you think is the big stage where you can indulge? "

Wu: "The market in China and Asia as a whole is huge. I hope to develop in China. Recently, there have been many excellent musicians in China. "

A true artist should be noble in character.

Dai: "You don't want to be positioned as a" skilled pianist ",but you want to be recognized as a" real artist ". Can you elaborate on what "a real artist" means? "

Wu: "I am still young and still looking for my own things. A true artist should be noble in character and music should be natural. You must also have your own unique style. "

Dai: "You are a musician, but you are also a young man. Do you have any hobbies in your life besides music? " ? Is there any difference between your life and that of other young people? "

Wu: "I like watching movies, reading books and playing computer games."

Vladimir Horowitz, a music freak, is prejudiced against women and yellow pianists. He once thought that no matter how good a girl is, once she gets married and has children, all her efforts will be in vain. As for the yellow race, he thinks that although he has extraordinary skills, he will never succeed without the influence of western culture. However, when he instructed China students, his prejudice was shaken. Later, he said, "I like China people very much because they are talented and willing to work hard."

Perseverance, wisdom, spirituality, talent, and willingness to work, this is the impression that Dzhanis, a young female pianist in China, gave me.

Janice album The first classical solo album by China pianist Janice will be released soon.

Dzhanis, a talented pianist from China who has played for the Queen of England and the Royal Prince Andrew, will hold a new album release conference of her first classical album at the Royal Conservatory of Music 19 on April 5th, officially announcing another milestone in her piano career. Janice, who studied piano at Shanghai Conservatory of Music at the age of 6, taught piano at Manuel Conservatory of Music in England at the age of 65,438+03, and was praised as a "new star in the piano field" by major classical music critics in Britain and Europe. After ten years of hard work, Dzhanis's first solo album finally surfaced. This solo debut album, produced by DAL SEGNO Records Company in Britain, contains the representative works of the world's top pianists: Schumann's Kreisleriana; Liszt's hungarian rhapsodyNo. 12 and Peterak SonataNo. 104, as well as the London young composer Alexander pryor's Variations on the Svyatogor Explorer, are also works that inherit rich Russian piano characteristics from Dzhanis's piano attainments.

Janice, a female pianist from China who was praised as "the new star of classical music in 2007" by the British Independent, 1984, was born in a cultural family in Shanghai, China. From the age of 6, she became attached to the primary and secondary schools of Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and trained countless musical talents.

Learn piano. As a child, Dzhanis showed her extraordinary musical talent and piano talent. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, one of her Mozart sonatas conquered Professor troup in piano master, England, and applied for a full scholarship from the famous Mei Niuyin school in England to take her to the UK for further study. During her five years in Manuel Conservatory of Music, Janice studied piano with famous teachers Irina Zaritskaya and Arnaldo Cohen, and she also attended many master music classes. He studied under Bella Davidovic, murray perahia, andras schiff and many other world-class pianists, and won many artistic scholarships such as competitions, Boise Fund Scholarships, Martin Scholarships and Tillet Scholarships. After that, Dzhanis won a full scholarship from the Royal Conservatory of Music, studied piano art with Christopher Elton, director of the piano department of the Royal Conservatory of Music, and successfully obtained a master's degree from the Academy in 2008. In the same year, Dzhanis received a warm invitation from the British royal family to play for Queen Elizabeth II with her famous trio, which was greatly appreciated by the royal family. However, this is only part of the most colorful artistic experience of this talented piano girl in her foreign music career.

From the age of 15, Dzhanis has performed in many world-famous concert halls: at the age of 15, he played Mozart's piano concertoNo. 14 in E flat major in the famous Queen Elizabeth Concert Hall in Britain; 15 years old, solo at the Mei Niuyin Music Festival held in Staade, Switzerland; /kloc-at the age of 0/6, as the winner of the Sydney Perry Prize awarded by Martin Music Foundation, he played Saint-Sang's Piano Concerto No.2 with the British Philharmonic Orchestra in St. John's Smith Square in London. At the age of 16, Dzhanis won the Tunbridge Welles International Young Artist Award, which led to her first recital in purcell Hall, a British music hall. 17 years old, playing with Leon Fleischer in piano master; In the same year, he was selected for the Park Lane Music Show, and continued to perform in the Prince's Room Concert Hall, including Ligethy's etudes and Elliot Carter's works, as well as the world premiere of contemporary composer Malcolm Singer's "Tokata". These performances were warmly praised by many local mainstream media in Britain, and were broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 (the largest classical music channel in Britain). In the following period, Dzhanis's music career was further expanded, and besides touring the world in Europe, he also made his mark at famous international music festivals in the West. In 2002, Dzhanis toured major cities in Britain, and participated in music festivals including Harrogate, Glasington, Norfolk, Norich and London Chopin Music Festival as a guest performer, and gave solo concerts in fairfield Concert Hall, Blackheath Concert Hall and the world-famous Wilmore Concert Hall. Shortly thereafter, Dzhanis was invited to attend the prestigious Mei Xian Music Festival held in London, and played the famous song "Invittrail et des Oiseaux" with Pierre-Andre Valade of piano master and the Chamber Symphony Orchestra of the Royal Conservatory of Music, which won long-lasting warm applause and cheers from the audience.

When talking about the upcoming first solo album, Dzhanis described Schumann's KREISLERIANA as one of the most intimate works for her. "Such a well-known classic will inevitably remind people of other versions of the performance, but I feel that I am interpreting it in my own way. I can feel Schumann's two conflicting passions when creating." When talking about Liszt's works, Dzhanis said that she was greatly inspired by the traditional China poems she accidentally read when she was a child. At the same time, this work also became the finale of Dzhanis's special recital in Wilmore Concert Hall in 2008, and won great praise and affirmation from British music critics. It even described that "if Brahms himself described these contact works as the cradle of my sadness, then Dzhanis's performance undoubtedly gave a more perfect close-up of Brahms-style sadness."

On the next trip in 2009, Janice and her companions at Manuel School will perform concert tours in England, Germany and the Netherlands with the piano trio SITKOVETSKY who won the LEONARD BERNSTEIN Prize in 2009. Dzhanis said excitedly that he enjoyed playing with the orchestra very much. "This is a unique feeling. We can share and exchange our musical feelings with each other. This is a wonderful thing. " At the same time, Janice will also attend the Liberation Music Festival held in Channel Island, Jersey from May 8 to May 10. As the artistic director of the festival, Dzhanis said that he would complete all the performances of the festival together with the music charity MUSIC IN ACTION, and hoped to make this festival a historic heritage festival and bring more and better classical music to more people.

Different from those pianists who blindly pursue skills, Dzhanis's extraordinary and exquisite playing skills can be said to be only the foundation of her unique piano art. "I hope to describe the poetic meaning in music like my favorite pianist Artur Rubinstein," she said. "I hope my music can make people forget those superficial formal skills. I hope my music can sing and convey everything. " While studying for a master's degree, Janice has been studying the relationship between music and aesthetics, and tried to blend them harmoniously and naturally, forming a unique "money style" performance style. As the British "Guardian" commented, "The performance of money perfectly conveys the difficult skills contained in music, and deeply makes people feel the full feelings of music and the clarity of sentences. Her piano performance reveals an extraordinary sense of maturity and affection. " Michael Church, a classical music critic of The Independent, warmly praised Dzhanis's concert in 2006, saying, "She played the Albeni with rich colors, she played Rachmaninov with dignity, and she played Schumann with gentle, quiet and lyrical style. If I am blindfolded, I will guess that this is from a western male pianist. " Other major classical music magazines and TV stations, including BBC4 and BBC Television World, also made special reports and interviews on Dzhanis's piano performance. For these, Dzhanis's response is simple. She doesn't want to be defined as a skilled pianist, but wants to be recognized as a real artist.
