A soul-stirring song, hell-level difficulty

Netizens' understanding was not wrong.

The first section is indeed quite mournful!

The Phoenix is about to undergo Nirvana, and the Hundred Birds come to mourn, so it is played after someone passes away.

If a piece were entirely mournful and sorrowful, it couldn't become a famous piece.

Because no one could listen to it.

Starting from the second section, changes will occur!

Unlike the first section, the second section is the Phoenix reborn from fire.

The rhythm also became hurried!

That is the Phoenix undergoing Nirvana, this is a hurdle in its life.

Either succeed and soar through the nine heavens!

Or fail and fall here!

Regardless of the outcome, a trace of hope remains, and at this moment, the Hundred Birds all grew anxious for the Phoenix.

After a long and bitter difficult wait.

The Phoenix finally soared into the sky!

Breaking out of the fire's embrace!

It succeeded in Nirvana!

The King returns!

At this time, the Hundred Birds informed each other of this good news and congratulated the Phoenix on its safe return!

During this period, Nan Ye used the suona to imitate various bird calls.

He utilized the unique techniques of the suona, such as staccato, glissando, flutter-tonguing, finger flourishes, vibrato, etc., to the extreme.

It was as if the suona was his own arm, wielded freely.

With the help of the band, the bird calls were even more vivid, as if they were present at the scene.

Therefore, this section is usually played when a child reaches one month old.

At this point, we arrive at the third section!

Unlike the second section, the Phoenix is about to take flight, perch on the Wutong tree, and the Hundred Birds come to see it off!

This is a happy occasion and should be celebrated!

So it is usually played at weddings.

It is also in this section that the audience seems to hear the scene of the Hundred Birds vying with each other.

They could vaguely hear the calls of birds such as cuckoos, partridges, swallows, shanzhazhas, blue jays, thrushes, larks, blue waxbills, etc.!

And every sound was heard clearly!

There was also the faint crowing of a rooster, symbolizing the vivid artistic conception of night fading and the morning sun rising.

Nan Ye put in great effort with difficult techniques such as swallowing, exhaling, padding, striking, smearing, pressing, as well as tongue thrusting sounds, air thrusting sounds, rebound sounds, reverse double tonguing, legato tonguing, etc.

It can be said he put in sufficient effort!

Many folk suona Masters, upon hearing this part, got goosebumps all over. They couldn't hold back anymore and began leaving comments in the live stream:

[This kid's suona skill is extremely profound. He uses various difficult techniques with ease. An ordinary suona Master cannot perform this section.]

[Not just ordinary Masters, even more skilled Masters can't do it! First, you have to become familiar with the calls of the Hundred Birds. Only by understanding can you blow out their soul and make them come alive.]

[I don't understand the suona anyway, but I can feel so many bird calls. This is too amazing, a single suona can actually reach this level.]

[This reminds me of ventriloquism. Just one table, one chair, one fan, one clapper, yet it can imitate hundreds of sounds.

The two have the same wonderful effect!]

[...]

The piece was about to end, and at the same time, the most impressive section arrived.

The continuous high notes and bird calls without taking a breath appeared!

The speed is very fast, the note patterns are very small. This section has extremely high requirements for technique and breath control!

It was as if the Phoenix stood atop the Wutong tree, in the posture of the King of the Hundred Birds, letting out a long, hoarse cry towards all things in the world.

This long cry resounded in the audience's ears, hearts, and even their souls.

Some people actually tried to hold their breath along with this sound.

But as they held their breath, they realized how terrifying Nan Ye's breath control was.

Because while not taking a breath, he also had to play various different pitches and rhythms.

This is too difficult!

It's simply hell-level difficulty!

Just like """moonlight""", it left little room for retreat.

On Earth, the first suona Doctor - Teacher Liu Wenwen!

Using circular breathing, she had an outstanding performance in this section.

This single breath actually lasted for 40 seconds!

It was this single breath that shocked the world.

Becoming the only suona player to perform a solo at the Sydney Opera House to date.

Known as the talented suona woman!

Looking at Nan Ye, he not only knows circular breathing but is also the world's number one in static apnea.

This made Nan Ye's performance in this section even stronger!

One minute!

A full minute!

During this minute, whether it was the instrument Masters on stage, the audience below, the staff behind the scenes, or the audience in the live stream.

Were all stunned by this single breath!

[Holy crap, as expected of the number one in static apnea, this breath control is simply inhuman!]

[Congratulations to Xiao Ge for successfully breaking free from the category of "human", although we don't know what he ultimately became...]

[An average person can barely hold their breath for a minute without exhaling, okay? And Xiao Ge not only can't exhale but also has to maintain pitch constantly and play different timbres and rhythms.

This is simply like using a Level 4 Han Xin to fight the Storm Dragon King, the kind that just dies!]

[I remember practicing the suona requires practicing a basic skill, which is holding a straw and sucking up an entire basin of water in one breath, which is quite abnormal!]

[I can't take it anymore, I've been blown away by this breath! The one lying in the coffin now is me, quickly use the first section to send me off!]

[Whoever says that a "rustic" instrument like the suona cannot be performed in elegant halls is talking nonsense! As long as they hear this section, they will never talk rubbish!]

[Actually, I just want to know one thing, how many people can achieve this single breath from Nan Ye??]

No one answered him, because no one knew.

And no one had ever done it!

The new version of """hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix""" has just appeared, and there will definitely be people who will learn it and challenge this one minute.

But definitely not now!

We only know that this long cry made the Hundred Birds congratulate the Phoenix, pushing the joyful emotion to its peak.

And also pushed the audience's emotions to a climax!

Even after the piece ended, they were still immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Even when Nan Ye exited and the live stream screen went black again, they still hadn't reacted!

This piece was truly soul-stirring!

After they reacted, they also let out a long sigh of relief.

The breath they had been holding was finally released at this moment.

At this time, no matter who came, they couldn't stop their urge to speak freely:

[Awesome, too awesome. I always thought Nan Ye had a genius-like talent in popular songs, but I never expected him to be so amazing in pure music!]

[Honestly, I think this piece can rank among the songs in the suona world! It's just too difficult, that one minute will definitely deter many people.]

[This version of """hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix""" is more than a hundred times stronger than the original version! If the Chinese Opera Association could have released it earlier, the popularity wouldn't have declined so much!]

[If any future drama needs this song as background music, you must tell me! I must go and watch it!

I really can't imagine what kind of play could be worthy of this piece...]
