This piece, composed by the Spanish composer Maquina in the late 19th century, reveals its origins from its name.
Its creation was inspired by Spain's ancient bullfighting history.
As a sport filled with blood and a violent aesthetic, whenever the march plays by your ear, you can visualize the bullfighter bravely battling the raging bull in the arena... as if it's right in front of your eyes.
As Spain's national treasure, this sport later evolved into a dance that swept the world called the Crazy Bull Dance.
Men impersonate the bullfighters, and female dancers act as the red capes that attract the bull's attention.
Lin Tian has not seen this dance and doesn't quite understand Spain's classical art.
But he imagines that if female dancers play the role of the cape, and men the raging bull, accompanied by this impassioned music charging fiercely towards the cape, the scene must also be incredibly spirited.
In fact,
there are many pieces that can evoke a feeling of "passion."
