Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major, Third Movement
Conductor: Chen Xieyang
Shaoqin erhu Performer: George Gao
Performed by Suzhou Symphony Orchestra
Appreciating music is a joy for the senses, but personally performing it offers a deeper level of experience. Breaking through stylistic and instrumental boundaries to achieve what once seemed unattainable is an incredibly meaningful journey. Playing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto on the erhu comes from a deep love for music—a love that inspires perseverance, honing one’s skills over ten years and finding beauty in the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Musical instruments are tools for expressing music. Each instrument has its unique qualities, just as every individual has their own preferences for tone and style—highlighting our uniqueness. Musical style depends on the composition and performance, but the historical and cultural context of an instrument can sometimes shape or limit perceptions. By transcending these limitations, we can unlock greater inspiration. For instance, Bach composed polyphonic works for the violin, using creativity to overcome the constraints of a single-voice instrument, resulting in timeless masterpieces.
Don’t overthink it—if you love something, just go for it! Break boundaries, embrace your passion, and create a musical world that is truly your own!

苏州交响乐团协奏
欣赏音乐是视听的享受，而亲自演奏能带来更深层次的体验。突破风格与乐器限制，实现过去不敢想的目标，是极有意义的过程。用二胡演奏柴可夫斯基小提琴协奏曲，就是因为热爱，而热爱让人坚持十年磨一剑，在苦练中享受音乐的美好。
乐器是表达音乐的工具，每种乐器有其特点，每个人对音色和风格的喜好也不同，正如每个人都独一无二。音乐风格取决于作品和演奏，而乐器自带的历史背景可能限制认知，超越这些认知才能获得更多灵感。巴赫为小提琴创作多声部作品，用创意突破了单声部乐器的局限，成就了至今无法超越的经典。
不要顾忌太多，喜欢了就去做！突破限制，感受热爱，创造属于自己的音乐世界！
