Yang Jingxing washed his face after returning to the hotel, and then called Mo Titi back, "Titi, I didn't have time this morning and I didn't answer your call..."

"It's okay, I know." Mo Titi kept the story short, "I'll just tell you that Camille replied."

"Oh, what should I say?" Yang Jingxing was not too optimistic. "Is it her?"

"Probably so!" Mo Titi seemed to think Yang Jingxing's question was strange. "The rhetoric is similar to what you see online, and they said they would meet at o tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Jingxing, a country bumpkin, "Where is o..."

Mo Tioti has analyzed it himself. Since the other party has made an appointment to drink tea in the hotel, it should be a long conversation, so she should also be prepared, so she is buying a computer and downloading her homework and other works.

Can be used.

Yang Jingxing thought, "There's no need to worry. Young people should chat first, and then we can talk about cooperation after the chat is complete."

"I think so too. I'll try my best. I don't know if we can talk together." Mo Tioti said in a hurried tone, "The key is..."

Yang Jingxing suggested, "Let's talk casually, don't be deliberate, just say it."

Mo Tianti was simply troubled, "The key is that Cao Linglan called before and said we would go to Philadelphia to see the squad leader... Do you think I should go to Philadelphia first and come back tomorrow morning? It should be enough time."

Yang Jingxing said, "This is your decision."

Mo Tioti explained the situation, "Zhang Hejun is also going, and Tang from Class 4. The class leader only invited Level 03..."

Yang Jingxing hummed, "What's so great about it, who cares about it?"

Mo Titi comforted her in a serious tone, "Don't say that, Yang Jingxing. It's not that the squad leader doesn't want to invite you. It's because of you that everyone got together this time. It's just that we all know that you are too busy and have no time."

Yang Jingxing laughed, "I'm kidding...have you decided yet?"

Mo Tioti was very hesitant, "Not yet. I should go take a look. I really want to go, but I also want to be more prepared..."

"It's not too early." Yang Jingxing asked, "So are they planning to take the train over?"

"Let's fly..." Mo Tianti said in an uncertain tone, "Cao Linglan said that the helicopter would pick up people in Manhattan at three o'clock. It would be quite troublesome to go to some small Westchester airport first and then change planes."

"It's not as convenient as the train, but it's good to get together. It will definitely be delicious." Yang Jingxing was jealous and changed the subject. "What are you going to prepare? I don't think it's necessary. It's enough to have a piece of work that impresses the other person. That's fine."

It fits Camille’s usual dressing style.”

"I know this well." Mo Titi said seriously, "Yang Jingxing, don't think too much. I feel that the monitor actually just wants me and Cao Linglan to go to our girls' gathering, but I won't do anything if I don't ask you about this."

Well…I’d be sorry if I missed this opportunity.”

"That's such an exaggeration!" Yang Jingxing exclaimed, "I just did it with a little effort, and Camille is not a big shot."

"Yang Jingxing." Mo Tioti seemed very serious, "Do you have anything I can convey to you? I can find a chance to say it..."

Yang Jingxing haha, "Yes, I wish the students have a good time!"

Mo Tianti whispered loyally again, "I can test it for you to see what Tao Meng's attitude is. I think what they said makes no sense at all. At least in my opinion, you, Yang Jingxing, are very sensible and self-respecting. With your current achievements,

There is no need to live in the past..."

Yang Jingxing begged, "Okay, okay, we finally get together, don't ruin the atmosphere, just to play with you, don't think too much."

Mo Tioti chuckled and decided, "Then I'd better go there...and I have to prepare gifts."

Yang Jingxing said, "Then you go and do your work. I also have something to do. I will take a flight at noon tomorrow and won't say goodbye to you anymore."

Mo Tianti thought for a moment, "Let's do this for now. Remember to let me know when you go to Europe and then come to the United States... I wish you greater success and become the greater pride of Class 033!"

Yang Jingxing: "I wish you all the best, bye."

There was not much rest time. Yang Jingxing set out again after returning to his room for more than half an hour. There was no need for a receptionist anymore. He even took an unnecessary route with Teacher You to go to Curtis.

The person in charge of reception in the afternoon is the academic director, so some things still have to be done by women.

Come, Director Yang is drinking hot Pu'er tea. Although the tea set is simple, the tea is quite good, and Director Yang is very happy.

However, women all over the world seem to be equally verbose, and this academic director is just passing the time chatting with guests, talking about everything from Pu'er tea to dumplings, and even knowing about the Spring Festival, which makes Director Yang have to explain what the lunar calendar is all about. Yes, the Spring Festival

Of course it has thousands of years of history.

Thanks to the reminder from the dean's administrative assistant, the academic director remembered that she still had to do something formal. If she was to blame, Mr. Yang was such a friendly talker that she almost forgot about the excitement that followed. She really shouldn't have.

It's not exciting at all. The Curtis Library only collects Yang Jingxing's published music scores. The dean and a few people accompanied him to hold a small ceremony, which is just a few steps away. The library is also closed on weekends and is specially open temporarily today.

Yang Jingxing has seen the library of Zhejiang University and the Peking University and Mining University. In comparison, Puyin's so-called library is like a child's play house. Now, it's better, with Curtis at the bottom, it's embarrassing to call it like this.

The library is so brave.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being looked down upon, Rousseau personally introduced the library to the guests how small and sophisticated it was, and then brought out a series of treasures. Music scores from three centuries ago were nothing, including Mozart and Schubert.

, Liszt’s autographed manuscripts are not something ordinary people can see, they are treated like precious antiques.

After the visit, there was a ceremony. Yang Jingxing put a small nameplate of his own into the directory card slot on the bookshelf. Of course, Rousseau had to give a compliment before putting it in. After the installation, Yang Jingxing himself also said a few words of courtesy, but together with the management

There were only eight members of the audience, including members, and they couldn't even applaud.

Yang Jingxing has several published works, including Sonatas, Concertos, Symphonies, and the covers are spread out in two columns. He seems to be a composer. Teacher You didn't expect that Curtis would be so good at it, otherwise

Just bring a copy of "Theoretical Analysis of Ding Sangpeng's Composition Technique" to hold another book donation ceremony.

Enter yang in the composer column of the library's computer, and only a few works by Yang Jingxing are retrieved, not even those by Principal Puyin. The information on the works is relatively detailed, the year of creation is accurate, and the place of creation is Puhai.

For what purpose did the administrator enter ozart to search? Looking at the search results, you can see that she obviously wants to attack the Chinese and see the fruits of their real geniuses. Moreover, the library contains Mozart's works when he was eleven years old.

Yang Jingxing is already twenty-two years old.

The academic director regrets that the library failed to collect Mr. Yang's recordings. Otherwise, listening to the recordings and reading the sonata scores in the appreciation room will definitely allow students to gain more from appreciation and reverence.

Then let’s prepare for the next activity. The group of people walked back to the teaching building from the library and found that the small house had become more lively inside and outside. Someone was working at the front desk and there were students sitting and chatting nearby.

With less than half an hour left, the academic director continued to make tea for Yang Jingxing and asked eagerly if he needed anything else, such as being alone or listening to some music, or even lucky items or numbers. The academic director was very understanding. After all, he was very understanding of most people.

For musicians, giving lectures at Curtis requires "getting into the best state" more than giving a recital, and I'm afraid Mozart is no exception.

Yang Jingxing thanked him. His hobby was to hear the academic director talk about her experience of working at Curtis for more than ten years...

It was approaching three-thirty when the academic director sent Yang Jingxing to the so-called concert hall of the school. He was still talking about his career, for fear that he would not be able to satisfy the guests. They were not walking fast, and some students were so busy that they would look back.

Today’s lecture guests, some students followed them leisurely.

When I walked into the concert hall, I found that there were only forty or fifty people inside. This was a lecture, which was nonsense. There were still no banners, not even flowers, and what was even more annoying was that I didn’t even hear applause. Those who had already moved small chairs to sit down

Most of the students just raised their eyes and looked at the people who came in, not welcoming but observing, not paying tribute but studying. Some students were not in a hurry to move chairs to occupy seats, as if they wanted to check the situation before talking.

Yang Jingxing didn't give the students a good look. After thanking the academic director, he went to Kushnir's side to shake hands and greet him. Kirsty was not big or small, and the old professors didn't even have a distinguished position in the front row, and the students didn't either.

Pay attention to the chat between lecturers and professors. Even those who are nearby are reluctant to express their opinions.

Some respect and worship.

Kushnir didn't know what the logic was, "I think you have the right to know that Hillary is interested in some of your opinions. Maybe you should meet."

Yang Jingxing Haha, I hope I have a chance.

The time was almost up and Yang Jingxing walked onto the so-called stage. No one was there to support him and he had to help him get into the role. Just like Puyin’s teacher Ma Zhe walked into the big class classroom a few minutes early. In fact, there were no Chinese students in the classroom.

There were only a few, maybe a dozen, but no one came to talk to anyone in their hometown.

Curtis still had some discipline. When the lecturers began to prepare, almost no one spoke. The classroom became very quiet, and those who were hanging out also took chairs to sit down. Curtis was obviously good at setting up chairs.

, in rows and columns. Those students who arrived later than the lecturers finally felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to speak so leisurely.

Whether it was miscommunication or cultural differences, Rousseau and Grafman also came one after another, and instead of coming to take a look, they moved chairs and sat down on their own. Yang Jingxing was too lazy to be polite. He looked at the time and saw that there were still two minutes left, so he continued to sit.

Waiting in boredom.

Most of the last dozen or so people who entered the classroom were elderly. They would say hello to Grafman and others, but no one came to introduce themselves to Yang Jingxing. It was a naked humiliation. Teacher You was there.

After seeing it clearly, I felt a little anxious.

Okay, it's almost time. Yang Jingxing stood up from his stool and faced the audience, saying "Thank you" without any enthusiasm.

There is really no enthusiasm. There are less than 80 people in the classroom including seniors and juniors, and half of the small chairs are not used. You must know that Curtis has 156 undergraduates alone without preparatory courses.

Person No. 10, only one-third of the people came today, it was really disrespectful, not only to Yang Jingxing, but also to the New York audience the night before yesterday.

But no matter how big the gap is, Yang Jingxing can't throw away his sleeves and walk away. He still has to go through the motions. "I am Yang Jingxing, from Puhai Conservatory of Music. I am very happy to come to Curtis."

There was still no applause, and the Chinese students did not take the lead. The people in the room just looked at the people on the stage. They clearly did not look like they were listening to a lecture by a famous speaker. There was no joy, excitement or admiration at all, and there were no serious faces.

It seemed like they were here for a hearing. They were very dedicated, not only solemn but also highly alert.

There are still those who are late. Yang Jingxing does not even look at it and continues to complete the task. "Today, let’s talk about the two words you are most familiar with, genius and talent. These two words have different expressions in different times, different people and different things."

contact."

The faces remained unchanged.

Yang Jingxing was very adventurous, "Who is the first genius in the history of music that you know?"

Regarding the so-called cultural background, after the lecturer waited for two seconds, the first person to speak was a white girl, "God."

Almost no one in the audience laughed, and Yang Jingxing did not dare to show his expression. "Then who do you think the chief has created as the second genius?"

The girls barely thought about "Aeschylus." Curtis' students were indeed extraordinary.

It is still useful to study music history well. Although Yang Jingxing has never read Prometheus or Orestes, he can still start talking about "ancient Greece, one of the sources of human civilization..." without changing his face.

Coincidentally, the Book of Songs was also born in a similar era. Curtis is pretty good. In addition to Chinese students, there are also some people who have heard of the Book of Songs. After a little discussion of the sources we know, we basically have a consensus.

The function of music has not changed for thousands of years, and genius and talent are of course based on function.

However, Yang Jingxing really started to show his talents after someone proposed the name "Pelotan". He first introduced Perotan's achievements like a researcher, and then put forward his own opinions, which could be confirmed from all the information passed down by Perotan.

Three aspects were selected from the work that best reflected the composer's talent, and each aspect was divided into several small points. If it is not enough, Yang Jingxing also wanted to demonstrate the subtleties on the piano, and these groundbreaking subtleties

And how it influenced the development of music in the following thousands of years.

Although the lecturer has not said anything particularly original, at least the ideas are clear and well-founded. Everyone in the small chairs listened attentively, and no one seemed uncomfortable sitting. After all, it was just the beginning.
Chapter completed!
