HEYYO! I've just watched a very nice video! HAHA! It's a video of 黄河愤. For those who don't know what song it is, it's actually a piano concerto. NYCO played this before in the previous concert.

This version is played by 中央樂團 in the 1970s. HAHA! After watching the video, i was super impressed by the pianist. Before i post my comments, pls watch the video first! hehh! Do take note of the pianist's taifeng!



Haha! How's it? The pianist is really pro right! Though i admit that both his and the conductor's taifeng are quite funny because of their 'movable fringes', i can't deny that the piano solo was full of emotions. At gentle parts, the music was really gentle and smooth; at furious parts, he's got the oomph!

Now, imagine him playing the piano solo with all those dynamics but without taifeng.
1. The image will be contradicting cos he's like a blockhead while the music is so full of ups and downs.
2. The extreme moods may not be carried out that well because his taifeng doesnt help him to project his strength/mood.

Lol! I think this is a super random post lah, but this is just smth to share with u guys! Perhaps we should all gel our fringes up during co prac from now on. We should start practising taifeng by attempting to make our fringes move! HAHAHA!

Anyway, it seems like we're still far from our goal. We've less than a month to concert. Yes, the dateline looks intimidating, that's why from now on, we really have to make practices very effective. I don't know if this will work, but let's give it a try ok! During pracs, we shall stop chit chatting with our frens. Let's try to FEEL THE MUSIC! (i know it sounds funny, but i guess that's the best way i can phrase it) We shall try to INDULGE OURSELVES INTO THE MUSIC and play with our genuine feelings! (rmb, our goal is to make our audience feel moved!) Of course, before we can improve on our music, we have to clear our technical barriers first. Although i've mentioned in term 2 that we should clear our technical problems and intonation before hols, i doubt we've achieved that. I can understand that it's tough, but let's all jiayou together ok!

Seriously, based on the reportoires of our concert, it's apparent that the songs are rather appealing. Furthermore, we have a good reputation of achieving the gold with honours award for SYF last year. Hence, i believe that our concert sales will be quite good. Your CAPABLE COMMITTEE (see the alliteration) is also working very hard on concert preparation. So now what's left is our effort. Imagine a concert hall filled with audience, imagine the deafening applause after every pieces, imagine the concert running through very smoothly, one piece after another, feel the sense of achievement when the audience are touched by our music... It'll be the best ever NYCO concert! In these last 27 days, let's us all JIAYOU and make this coming concert THE BEST EVER NYCO CONCERT! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!


Trust me, all the efforts will be worthwhile! (:
