引用巴拿赫Banach的名言，体现举一反三的境界：
A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems;
A better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs
and
The best mathematician can notice analogies between theories.
One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies.
导聆: 音乐会当场指导听众聆听 (Concert Music Introducer)。
在本地的西洋或华乐音乐会, 君不见浓妝艳沫的贵妇, 西装革履的上流高官, 有一半在打瞌睡, 乐曲中段Pause’乌龙’ 拍掌的糗象常有。
如果有位导聆能介绍关于乐曲和作曲/演奏家的逸事, 譬如
◇ 盲人二胡街边演奏家 阿炳 创作并拉 《二泉映月》的凄凉…
◇ 竹林七贤中的阮咸 就是弹拨此 “Chinese Guitar” 乐器的高手而以他为名;
◇ 另一位 竹林七贤 嵇康 行刑前弹古琴曲《广陵散》, 之后此曲绝迹人间;
◇ 成语 “参差不齐” : 参(cen)差(ci)是排箫, 长短不齐;
◇ “滥竽充数” 竽是一种 大笙 古乐器。
林谷珍 (台湾, 1952 – ), 中学时爱上中国笛子, 从此踏上华乐”不归路”, 成为笛子演奏家, 并开厂制作笛子精品。
他曾主办22场 “两岸笛子名家音乐会”, 为此赔上一间房子。为了华乐的传承, 一生做喜欢的事业, 他义无反顾, 并不后悔。
为推广华乐给普通听众, 他开乐坛先河, 当起 华乐音乐会”导聆”, 以其丰富的华乐知识, 生动地介绍每部华乐名曲的背景, 其演奏家感人且艰辛的奋斗历程。有一位中国笛子演奏家, 被他介绍谈起未成名前的挫折争扎, 当场在台上和他拥抱痛哭。
中国南/北派笛子大师 赵松庭 (南派) 和 俞逊发 (北派) 生前最后的现场表演录音, 就是由林谷珍在台北主办的。
P.S. 笔者有幸出席俞逊发大师以下的3场精彩演出:
♡ 1977 年 在法国尼斯(NICE);
♡ 1979 年 在巴黎歌剧院 (Opera) “压轴表演”, 吹奏 “牧民新歌“和 他发明的口笛 “苗岭的早晨“。
这两次法国表演, 法国人全场站立 Encores数次。音乐是无国界的, 巴黎人的文化修养高, 见证大师精湛的笛子技艺感动洋人。
♡ 2000 年 由林谷珍和新加坡华乐团合办的”俞逊发笛子演奏会”, 疯迷本地笛子爱好者。

传统华乐器 台湾最后一家箫笛制造厂 “丽声” 。
台湾的桂竹做箫好, 大陆的苦竹做笛子好。
反之, 大陆移种的桂竹 或 台湾移种的苦竹, 因水土不服, 质地不佳。
箫有南北之分:
1 南箫 – 末端有竹头, 吹口有盖。竹厚, 音低沉
2 北箫 – 末端无竹头, 吹口无盖。竹瘦, 音高。
