Su Chang - Guzheng | YTSO 2011 Sydney | Soloist Introduction Video | 苏畅 - 古筝

[rongjingji]

现在演奏者技巧很好，但是老是模仿演奏西方乐器的，

一点都不雅，无论你技巧如何都是枉然

[warriorofzu]

走上了邪路了！

[warriorofzu]

动作夸张过火，张力是要的，但是过了就是淫巧了。无论是琴还是筝­都是通过演奏陶冶心灵，反之亦可通过演奏表达心声。

[speematic]

蘇暢女士，您彈得好極了，傳統樂曲也好，現代樂曲也好，都富有表­達力！歡迎您隨時來美國首都華盛頓表演！您一定會受歡迎，我很期­待！

[starz2shine]

A friend of mine plays the guzheng and she let me tried my hands at it one day. NOT EASY TO PLAY AT ALL.

Su Chang, for you to be able to improvise on the guzheng like that, you must be one hell of an amazing guzheng master. Salutes!

[drascatube]

yeah, indeed, when blending ur soul with the instrumentS, what we really achieved is the synergy. absolutely amazing!

[bluestar67]

nice style with guzheng, old instrument, new music

[karlos2586]

[Omritable]

Wow beautiful girl and very beautiful playing. This instrument definitely needs to be in modern music more.

[SnyderRon]

Wonderful; Beautiful; Perfect

[dhaivatraj]

太好了！神聖的！Fantastic!!

[suchangguzhen]

@dhaivatraj 谢谢。很高兴你能够喜欢

[maridude]

beautiful!

[Musicosm]

Wow! Congratulations! I think we all knew you would make it. :)

I always found it interesting that in the U.S., women who play instruments in popular music are still a minority, and in China, it's seems like it's almost a social obligation.

Or am I just an ignorant Westerner?

[suchangguzhen]

@Musicosm

^^Now in China ,a lot of people use Guzheng do the popular music and more and more people are willing to using the Guzheng music in the film.

[ninaflute]

wonderful! So talented. It almost sounds like you could play flamenco on that instrument. Let's play together! Traditional flute and Guzheng!!

[suchangguzhen]

@ninaflute wow!Sounds great.I love FLAMENCO

[lancashiremarcus]

Your music lifts the heart and spirit, thanks for sharing!

[lancashiremarcus]

Your music lifts the heart and spirit, thanks for sharing!

[TheFloodlord]

Amazing, enjoy, have fun!

[bernard446]

周老师十九年前来过新加坡当考官。听说他打分非常严。

感觉上他北派曲和浙江非常到位。从浙江曲的处理，感觉上受项斯华­的影响较多。

从小听着项老师的音乐长大。可以说是因为他我才爱上古筝。

去年我第一次考级，考九级，考到九十二。我的idol是林玲，非­常欣赏他对音色的控制。希望有机会跟他学。

祝好！

[suchangguzhen]

@bernard446 哇哦，第一次考级就是九级，你真的很厉害。

周老师一向对学生严格，但是课下她非常随和。周老师看着我长大，­我受她的影响太深了，她的人格魅力时刻感染着我。

我也很喜欢林玲老师，你一定可以有机会来北京拜访她。

[hantianya]

I think, the result of this contest is the best answer to supporters.

Sister Chang,We appreciate your music and admire your cognitive.

I will always remember you said," Friendly to get along with others. Turn hostility into friendship."

I think this will spur me later in life.

[GZAuthority]

This woman entered the contest under the category of "Rhythmic Solo Improvization" but won "Lyrical Solo Improvization". This only proves that the contest is a joke and the world has really gone mad.

[suchangguzhen]

@hal3toro HI Thank you for your comment.I like your channel and your photo.

[cyclonegt1969]

Congradulation Sue, 

[bernard446]

您的恩师是周望吧？2001 年你赢过龙音杯？

[suchangguzhen]

@bernard446 是的，现在也仍然和我的恩师学习。龙音杯是我12岁参加的比赛

[hantianya]

Dear sister Chang

Congratulations you win the contest!Happy for you!

Sis,you once said"To every contest as my own classroom,A feast of art,More of a calm and quiet,then in a calm and successful."we appreciate your sincere,calm,tolerant and Stride!

Speak louder than words!I think the results of this contest is to those who"Because of his Hard act to Resulting hate thought,come here to do not reflect the quality of their own"people the best answer.

Support you forever!Love you

Tian Ya

[hankj88]

Congratulations on winning the YouTube competition

祝贺你赢得YouTube 的比赛。

When you play the guzheng, you are very graceful

当你弹 古筝的时候，你看起来很优雅。

Indeed - an elegant description of a beautiful instrument by a graceful lady.

Wishing you the very best in Sydney - looking forward to the concert.

[suchangguzhen]

@hankj88 Hank.Your Chinese is amazing.

[ValExperimenter]

@Rosepink1211 It is cute how you defend your sisters honour. Some translation of slang terms might be of use The term "hot chick" means beautiful girl, very few western women would take offense at being described as a "hot chick",

[RomuloRulsat]

Great job, Su Chang! Though I'm a drummer and was rooting for Jon Morrison, your music is also wonderful and you're extremely talented! I did vote quite a lot of times both for him and for you, and also, maybe, two other musicians on that section. Anyway, as I said, your music is wonderful, soul-deep and your victory was fair and deserved. Hope you have a great performance at Sydney! Keep on that way! =D

[JDMForChrist]

No captioning needed at all for your speech. You speak English very well, as you play the Guzheng well also! It is a beautiful sounding instrument and looks very interesting to play. I wish you the best in Sydney and congratulate you for winning the chance to get there. Again, I wish you the best.

God Bless.

Jonathan

[Skyrius]

Congratulations! I've never actually seen anyone play the guzheng although I have seen one in a museum at China. My parents are from Beijing, so even though I wasn't, it feels nice to see someone from there make it into the Youtube Symphonic Orchestra. Have fun in Sydney!

[xavyz06]

Congratulations, Su!! You are a gifted musician.

[ValExperimenter]

Congratulations on making it to Sydney, I might make the trip there to see you play (depends on work schedule) It should be a bit warmer in Sydney than Toronto.

1:23 a little bit of 冥山 (ming shan)

[suchangguzhen]

@ValExperimenter Great !!You tell the name of the music piece.yeah you are right .it's Ming Shan. Thank you for your support. Toronto was really cold .I came back to Beijing .Warmer here!^^Sue

[friscosgreatest]

@Rosepink1211 hahaha um ok. defensive much? if you have a vagina, you're a chick.......

[Rosepink1211]

@friscosgreatest

[MrLycan]

You have an epic amount of talent. In case you are interested, I would like to see in the future if you can do covers of rock songs like "Highway to Hell" from AC/DC, among others.

I definitely subscribed to TheVivaGirls. <3

[suchangguzhen]

@MrLycan Thanks for your add and your support for the girls .We want to try all kinds of music .I think rock is so cool.Let we see in the future.  Sue and the Viva girls.

[MrLycan]

@suchangguzhen For sure, you girls are incredible. Even better; What you have, this group, the sound, the image, everything about it is a beautiful thing. I will forever be impressed by it.

[heelrunner]

Wow, that was beautiful. I'm not too keen on Eastern music, but the instruments and the musical styles are just so opulent and the musicians so talented that I can't help but admire them. I'm glad youtube chose you, I'm sure it will not go to waste. You're a beautiful and talented lady, keep it up, good luck and I wish you all the best.

[isar777]

THIS GIRLS ARE HOT AWESOME MUSIC

[friscosgreatest]

hot chicks and old instruments....nice!

[mossyburger]

can you try Jazz with your Guzheng?

[suchangguzhen]

@mossyburger .I tried before .I enjoyed that. when I use the Guzheng do Jazz ,I try to make it unique.To use some skills especially on the left hand .Such as bend the string or do vibrato ...something like that. Sue

[mossyburger]

@suchangguzhen ah okay, thanks Sue, hope to see a vid of it one day in the future! =)

[teikoshizuka]

Hi, just wondering, how do you travel with your Guzheng? Do you have to remove the pivot bridges when transporting them in the plane? TIA

[suchangguzhen]

@teikoshizuka :Hi Thank for the question .I usually put Zheng on the over sized baggage.Before that I should take off the wood bridge and carefully wrap it inside .

[teikoshizuka]

@suchangguzhen Thanks for the reply:) Helps lots!

[suchang9301]

这美女跟我一个名字，看题目吓了我一跳，以为自己出名了

[JANIQUEism]

[scorppoison]

I have always loved the Guzheng, Having been born in the USA it is very hard to find one to learn on, though someday I will :)

you play very well :)

[lalalalalajessica]

I've never been able to stick with something my entire life and im so proud that you could make it this far. Congratulations, Jessica.

[TIB1105H]

Hi! I'm from Singapore. Its really a beautiful instrument and you did a good job :)

By the way, I had learnt for about 5 years starting at the age of 13. :D

[GuqinZheng]

May I ask, What do you mean by "The guzheng is easy"? is that for the basic technique of the Zheng, or for all the techniqe of the Zheng, By the way, When you wher a beginner or intermediate, how lng did it take you to master a song? Also, you are quit talented, are you sure that your still a student;)

[SpiritTeahouse]

太棒了！恭喜你！！！！！

[BigN33dle]

You are very talented. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck!

[hallowgurl55]

OMG!! IM IN LOVE WITH THIS INTERVIEW!!! Veery inspiring!! I too have an instrument of choice by which it "supports my spirit"! (For a better understanding to what Su was saying about her instrument of choice "supporting her spirit" folks, just dig deeper already!) I def get what she was saying! :) The instrument which "supports my spirit" is: MY "MR. KEYBOARD"! I can NOT live without my keys!! For I too am fascinated by great musics and veery talented artists/musicians! But, to each ones own.

[FremontMetalHead]

I am SERIOUSLY impressed.

And a little bit turned on.

I got no shame in appreciating a REAL musical chick.

[ValExperimenter]

@FremontMetalHead If you like her music and want to see her play something a bit heavier, search for 云裳诉 (Yun shang su), It may even be in the related videos and it is in the Favourites on Su Changs channel.

[vietguy808]

ur pretty ....

[apicha31]

Beautiful girl

[chazkm]

I feel sorry for non-asian women. How are they suppose to compete with all of this?

[alcokhid]

I remember watching Spielberg's Empire of the Sun. I remember then young Christian Bale riding at the back of the truck, thumping the roof and shouting "SuChang! Su Chang!"...or was it Su Chaw?

[laosavanakhet]

[eusebiu04]
