英文灌水日记190609(5)
尽管没有人站在我这一边，我还是坚持在钢琴上实践自己心目中理想的音乐。好在我在南艺遇到了一个相对开明的孔老师，她总是鼓励我并对我因材施教，而不总是恶语相向。在她的指点下，我弹会了肖邦的全套练习曲和三首叙事曲。除此之外，为了使自己跟班上大部分其他同学区分开来（他们也致力于攻克肖邦那些相对粗浅的曲子），我开始染指于李斯特。虽然在绝大多数同学看来我一点都不可理喻，我却在攻克那些艰深乐曲这件事上自得其乐，当我第一次驾驭了一首李斯特的超技练习曲之后我感觉异常激动——从我20岁零基础开始学钢琴，三年内我就能弹李斯特了！我从孔老师那里学到了很多：把握不同的风格、在不同的乐曲当中运用踏板、选择适合自己的曲子等等，四年钢琴系学生的生涯一眨眼就过去了，答辩完论文和办好一些手续之后，我就从大学毕业了！从此我也能吹嘘自己是一个钢琴系的毕业生、一个音乐专业人士了。
In spite of the fact that my achievement has been recognized by an authorized institution, most of people around me are unable to appreciate my performance. Every time when I strike up an acquaintance with a new friend and introduce myself as a graduate of piano major, the other side is bound to say, “Oh, really, you are awesome! It’s my pleasure to listen to your playing!” But they always betrayed that “they can’t understand”, “it’s too obscure for them to comprehend” when they have a chance to hear it with their own ears. To some degree, I, as a professional, am less welcome than those amateurs able to play melodious pieces such as “Fur Elise”, “Ballade pour Adeline”, “Mariage d’amour”. As mentioned above, I deem this kind of music too superficial and worthless to play. Aside from sensual pleasure, they can provide nothing to the listeners. Aesthetically, they are gaudy and showy without any substance, and therefore can’t be counted as good music. It will be a waste of time and efforts if I concentrate myself on them. Even if I, by playing them, am accepted by people surround me, they can by no means ensure my survival in professional music industry. Therefore, I am reluctant to try them even though my skill can well handle them. Yet I feel the cognitive abilities of most listeners can’t reach my level, they think the essence of music is something pleasant to ear, you are a good player as long as sweet music flows from your fingers. And if you can do nothing but “make noise”, you must be an unqualified player.
