For many years, Harbin normal university conservatory under Professor Tao Yabing leads, has done the massive scholarly research in light of this and has obtained the rich fruit. The author has carried on interview with Professor Tao Yabing in light of this.

　　Wang Yan (hereafter refers to as king): Mr./Mrs. Tao hello! Did last century Russia music culture mainly display to the effect of our country music in these aspects?

　　Tao Yabing (hereafter refers to as ceramic): The 20th century and China were connected Russian music culture, may be divided into the former Soviet Union as well as present’s Russian two times. The influence has been following the Chinese near modern music developing process. The development and 30, the 40’s Russia coming to China musician our country 20, the 30’s left wing proletariat music performs the former Soviet Union music expert and one batch which in China and teaching and the 50’s new China invited studies in music student in Soviet Union, the massive Soviet music was the song in spreading of China, the Chinese musicians attended the world music competition to demonstrate that specially new Chinese music development achievement and so on, contained the Soviet Russian musics to give China music by the huge support help. The Russian Nationality Le Pai music style and Soviet revolutionary realism’s esthetics viewpoint becomes the Chinese music development the example, and affected the Chinese new music development direction profoundly.

　　Kings: You mentioned that Our country Left wing music culture development has come under the Soviet Russian music culture influence, can chat specifically?

　　Ceramic: An October Revolution artillery sound, has sent the Marxism-Leninism to us. Soviet Union’s revolutionary music also becomes the Chinese revolutionary business’s spiritual weapon. Studies away from home Soviet Union’s Translator Qu Qiubai’s Soviet Union version “Internationale” becomes the Chinese proletarian revolution music the harbinger, from the Ruijin Central Soviet Area to the Shanghai Left wing musician group, disseminates Soviet revolutionary song to become the initial revolutionary culture phenomenon. The Soviet music only started the Chinese new music to direct the new direction, Nie Er has received the inspiration and guidance, combines to make or become for the proletariat music standard-bearer, Xian Xinghai respects the Soviet music, and with Prokofiev, Haqiatuliang, Gerry Ell and other Soviet composers associates the study. Xian Xinghai revised in the 5 years in Soviet Union has completed his important work “Huanghe River Cantata”, but also has created “Second Symphony Sacred War” and other batch of internationalism theme musical. May say that Soviet revolution music introduction revolutionizes and national liberation cause to China has the historic contribution.

　　Kings: I before you in the research and conversation noted you not only to conduct the research to the Sino-Russian music contact history, moreover also paid great attention to analyze Russia (Soviet Union) music system and esthetic shape the profound impact which to our country now the generation of creative music, the musical show and social music lifestyle produces. Please concretely analyze this question.

　　Ceramic: The Soviet Russian musicians may be called our country new music culture teacher. The October Revolution later and 50’s had a large quantities of musician to come to China to be engaged in music performance and teaching separately. Has like the pianist to look up Harroff, violinist Tuonuofu, singer Su Shilin and others were called Russian (Soviet hoodoo exception) the musician to be forced to leave native place first to come China to seek asylum, takes playing and professor music as industry, has trained Li Cuizhen, Wu Leyi, Xian Xinghai, Nie Er, Liu Tianhua and other generation of musician. Has composed in Harbin consists mainly of the Russian musicians Harbin Symphony orchestra, opera troupe and ballet troupe. In being honored as Asia first in the Shanghai Municipal council symphony orchestra, the Russian musicians also occupy majority. Is Russian composer Arab League prosperous? Arab League just Charlotte Muff for a long time lived in China, creates one batch to be rich in the Chinese characteristic musical. Russia musician Qi also to supporting the Chinese young musicians developed the Chinese music to make his contribution. In the 50’s, the new China’s music enterprise started to develop, in the specialized music colleges and music association, more than 30 Soviet experts in the composition, direction, musicology and performance, sang and other specialties to teach successively, like Poff, Aerza Manuofu, Dumas Tussaud, Para Xiao Fu, Kang Jinsiji, tower chart good, carat lotus Qin, rice strong Siji, Mater Czechoslovakia husbands and others, meanwhile, pianist Li Hete, violinist David Easter Raul and other virtuosos came to China to hold the concert, Soviet State Symphony Orchestra and other music associations come to China to perform, the massive Russian music discussed to translate, the new China’s music comprehensively studied the Soviet elder brother.

　　Kings: Our country also had sent at that time out one group of music foreign students toward Soviet Union, now they are in my mind are the grant master class musicians.

　　Ceramic: That is one group of outstanding people who in the new Chinese music colleges and performance association select, like composer Wu Zuqiang, Du Mingxin, Zhu Jianer, conductor Li Delun, Yan Liang堃, Han Zhongjie, Huang Xiaotong, Zheng Xiaoying, Cao Peng, singer Guo Shuzhen, Xu Yi, Zheng Xingli and others, violinist Sheng Zhongguo, Lin Yaoji, pianist Liu Shikun, Yin Chengzong, Ni Hong Jin, music scientist Huang Xiaohe and others, had nearly 40 to keep the Soviet music student in the 50’s-60’s successively. Afterward they completed study to return to homeland, to become the pillar of the state of Chinese music enterprise.

　　80 ages started the Sino-Russian music contact to enter for one new time. New generation’s Chinese musician continues to go to Russia to study to pursue advanced studies. Conductor Zhang Guoyong, pianist Bian Meng, Pan Chun, violinist Liu Yuxia, composer Liu Kanghua, Zhang Xudong, music scientist money is also equal. Went to Russia to study abroad is still music scholar’s yearned. Our conservatory has 6 young teachers is the master and 2 which Russia studies abroad is reading the doctor.

　　Looked back on early last century, Chinese modern times new music from the school music and singing initiation, the Russian rich nationality individuality music style the new music development sets up the example to China, Mr. Huang Zi esteemed Russian Le Pai national characteristic, proposed established China position of national Le Pai. After new China was established, starts to use for reference to study the Soviet music system comprehensively, gradually has formed own music style and rapid growth. Although we once had also come under the Soviet ultra-left music thought influence, has fettered the Chinese music healthy development.

　　As a result of the political reason, last century 60 to the 80’s China, Soviet Union relations disagree declare war, the Sino-Russian music have more than 30 years mutual lack of understanding, we were not many to the recent development understanding of Soviet music, this was a disappointment. After reform and open policy, the Chinese music entered a brand-new time, took a broad view at the world, by the multi-dimensional music culture’s angle of view inspection world each music system, the Russian music culture was still the example which we studied. Once the misinterpreted Soviet personalization modernistic composer like Xiao Starck Keweiqi, Prokofiev and contemporary composer Siluo Neame Siji became the study the goal, waited to the analysis of Russian musical show school of thought thoroughly. You knew that Professor Huang Xiaohe “Soviet Union Music History” volume one has published, the final volume is also anticipating. The Russian music is in itself an important research subject.

　　Kings: Through you to the above several questions elaborations, I thought that the Russian music has the positive impact on the development of Chinese near modern music. Carries on the thorough excavation to reorganize and to perform the speculation research to Sino-Russian music contact’s historical fact not only to have the important academic value, moreover regarding reviewing the experience and the lesson Chinese music developing process and summary history, will have the positive immediate value to the future well.

　　Ceramic: Yes. The Russian music once gave China in specific historical period music development by the only huge internationalism aid, the Chinese musicians harbors the heart of gratitude. The Chinese and foreign music exchange has received the political the influence, the Sino-Russian music relations are so. Now Sino-Russian relations development is smooth, this is the advantage is good to the Sino-Russian music exchange. Previous two years are the Sino-Russian years, this year are also Russian years, the relevant activities are many, our orchestra is rehearsing the Chaikefusiji fifth symphony, must report musical speech in Russia to the university student.

　　Kings: As a result of geographical position, historical origin and other reasons, Harbin once was the Sino-Russian music exchange gateway. Our conservatory had some accumulations in this research of aspect.

　　Ceramic: Yes, the Russian music in influence in Harbin is profound. The Russian musicians symphony orchestra and music school which organized in Harbin are our country earliest. Had gone to college when to me in the 80’s institute also has the overseas russians teacher who shoots the piano accompaniment specially.
