Nine hundred and fortieth chapters courage(1/2)
Another weekend, there are still five months before An Xin goes to Leeds. Because I have spent more time on "Piano Sonata in D Major", the progress is a bit behind now, so I have to hurry up. Fortunately, Chi Wenrong is the nanny.
He is very competent, almost full-time, and allows his girlfriend to do nothing but practice piano and not have to worry about it.
Kong Chenhe now comes to share Yu Xinting's movements with Yang Jingxing almost every weekend. I feel that this girl's "Piano Concerto in G Major" has become a bit of a signature, and has produced several second-tier orchestras such as the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra and the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra.
Following the trend of the invitation, there are also British amateur bands who also want to join in the fun.
Yu Xinting declined those second- and third-tier invitations because she gave priority to work in her unit, but her classmates and teachers were worried that she would be restricted and make people laugh at her repertoire, which was definitely the last among pianists in the world.
"Piano Concerto in G Major" is very popular with the audience, but this piece is limited by its content and reputation. For a pianist, it does not have much power to establish his reputation. Even if he succeeds ten times in a row, he will only get praise and likes.
And if there is a wonderful performance of Rachmaninoff or Prokofiev, what you gain is likely to be heart-felt conviction and status as a musician.
Although Yu Xinting will not be able to perform those difficult concertos perfectly in the foreseeable future, and Li Yingzhen will not agree to her playing the piano on the stage, a pianist should verify and demonstrate his ability to the maximum extent. Yu Xinting's
His abilities obviously go far beyond Yang Jingxing’s concerto and sonata.
In fact, pianists and singers are similar in this regard. Some singers seem to only sing one song in their whole life. It's not that they can only sing this one song well, but they have no chance to prove to more audiences that they can sing other songs well.
This is also the price of shortcuts. Yu Xinting gained a little fame and recognition because of a concerto, but now there are few orchestras willing to take the risk to rehearse other works for her, and there are no organizers who don't use the existing audience base.
To help a performer with no experience or qualifications try a new challenge.
However, if Kong Chenhe is not lying and Yu Xinting is not tired of playing Yang Jingxing's two pieces, then that's okay. By the time of the Asia Philharmonic performance at the latest, Yu Xinting can show more strength on the stage.
Kong Chenhe said that Yu Xinting has not yet decided what she will play in the Asia Philharmonic. After all, there are still three months left. The girl is now worried about whether she can go back to Puyin in early July, and many of her friends are about to leave school.
Wang Yuchen and Lu Hongyu have a lot of contact with them.
Fortunately, the arrangements for New Zealand in mid-May are basically confirmed, and Yu Xinting will be able to stay in New York to welcome the Juilliard team from her alma mater.
On the morning of April 20th, despite his busy schedule, Yang Jingxing prioritized school and went to attend the exchange class of his fifth-grade senior brother Han Yiming, who was praised for his performance.
Han Yiming is also pretty good. His creative approach focuses on academics but also takes the audience into account. His several duets that won some minor awards are still listenable. At least the musicians will not be disgusted when rehearsing and playing, unlike
For Xu Xuesi’s award-winning work, the students in the performance department could only grit their teeth and persevere under the pressure of the teacher.
Therefore, the title of Han Yiming's graduation is "Display of Personality in Universal Musical Language". If it really has content, it should be worthy of reference by people at the two extremes like Xu Xuesi and Luo Jiaqian.
Almost all the students from the composition department were here, and there were also teachers present. Although the scale of the scene was a bit worse than that of Yang Jingxing, Han Yiming should also feel relieved... but it seemed that he was mostly nervous.
Qi Qingnuo also came. He walked directly to the back and asked Yang Jingxing: "Where is the rent?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "That's almost it. What about you?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "It's almost the same. Let's make an appointment?"
Yang Jingxing said casually: "You decide."
Qi Qingnuo suggested: "After the May Day holiday, on the 7th and 8th, do you have any questions?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'm going to New York on the 10th."
"I know." Qi Qingnuo nodded. When he noticed that Yang Jingxing was looking at the ground, he simply lowered his head to show his head, and rubbed his hair away: "You can't tell."
After pulling back the hair, it was still visible that the shaved area had not grown much. Although the wound healed well, there were still some scars. Yang Jingxing said nonsense: "Keep taking the medicine."
Qi Qingnuo stood up straight and didn't mind at all: "That's it...do you still have contact with Kang Youcheng?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "What's wrong?"
Qi Qingnuo was a little proud: "Li Fu's offensive is like a tide,"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Are you envious?"
Qi Qingnuo was also happy: "I've never felt this... so nostalgic. Who writes prose poems for girls nowadays?"
Yang Jingxing chuckled: "Can Qing'er appreciate it?"
Qi Qingnuo warned: "...I'll go ahead."
Yang Jingxing did not persuade him to stay, nor did he accept the young teacher's subsequent invitation to sit in the front row. He was used to sitting in the back.
Han Yiming was well prepared, had lecture notes, and had a clear idea, but his words were not smooth enough and his appearance was not as artistic and romantic.
Perhaps because of Yang Jingxing's support, Han Yiming took the second movement of Yang Jingxing's Symphony No. 1 as an example and seemed to appreciate it. Yang Jingxing also interacted with the stage and exchanged his thoughts, allowing Han Yiming to express his thoughts clearly.
A little clearer.
The exchange class ended two hours later, and the students applauded on the stage. It was somewhat rewarding, and it seemed that the discussion would continue.
Yang Jingxing left directly, but told his senior brothers and sisters that he would be there for the next few performances, as well as Wang Hai, Peng Yiwei, and Qi Qingnuo, all before May Day. The highlight was the graduation concert at the end of June, and Yang Jingxing also reminded his senior brothers.
The senior sisters prepared carefully and revealed that there should be many experts and famous people coming to support the performance, and the composition department will also be in a good mood.
On April 22nd, the Germans who had been in the dark finally received news that the two music scores of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. 1" and "Yang Jingxing Piano Concerto in G major" were finally officially released in several European countries, including the United States and Canada.
However, we must also understand that it is not an easy task to accurately type and print all the notes of a symphony score, including various annotations.
The symphony score is priced at 280 euros, and the concerto score is priced at 60 euros. The quantities are not large. One thousand sets of symphonies and 1,500 sets of concertos are issued, which is a lot of money.
Yang Jingxing really took advantage of this matter. Not only did he get the money, but he also had one of the best publishers to help him advertise, and then he might be able to find the orchestra to collect royalties... Serious music creation is not really unprofitable.
What's pity is that the Puyin Composition Department has tight funds. It's already a great effort to order ten sets and twenty sets. It's really pitiful to have no money, and genuine music scores are so expensive. In fact, big orchestras such as the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra often
Use pirated copies...
Yang Jingxing's symphony score has been released globally, and 402 is still busy preparing Tang Xiaoxiao's album, planning to send Chenglu to Yidu to participate in the music festival on May Day, listening to Han Zhengxun strategizing for a day or two to prepare for his grand ambitions, Eyang's
The programmer has not been found yet, which makes Pang Xi wonder if the second king is not willing to see the staff being paid higher than himself...
On the 23rd, it was again in school. Wang Hai, one of the outstanding graduates of the composition department, was a pragmatist, and he was not ashamed of it. His opinion in the communication class was that pop music and Mozart and Beethoven were not popular enough.
There is no need to follow others and engage in difficult academics. Just as people's living standards are still so low, there is no need to engage in space shuttles.
Yang Jingxing agreed with some of Wang Hai's views. It is indeed necessary to have the same complete system, and all kinds of talents are indispensable... The two people even praised each other in the exchange class.
The next exchange class will be with Peng Yiwei. He is very happy. He has confirmed that he has signed a contract with the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra to become an exclusive composer. Although everyone knows that this so-called exclusive composer often has to do things such as sorting out music scores and even piracy.
But at least you won't be unemployed after graduation.
We have talked about it for a long time, and Peng Yiwei took the opportunity to mention it to Yang Jingxing today. Before graduation, he should write a song for 306. No matter whether it is good or bad, it is only a souvenir, and it is even more a vanity.
Of course, Yang Jingxing was very welcome as a consultant. He also suggested that Peng Yiwei go to communicate with 306. He said that girls are different after they join the work: "...they become more beautiful every day, and they are all great beauties."
Peng Yiwei was very yearning: "I guess so."
Qi Qingnuo had an opinion: "You still need to estimate? I have such a vivid example in front of you."
Peng Yiwei: “I often look at it and don’t feel it.”
Qi Qingnuo was angry, but also loyal: "Okay, when you go, I will ask them to dress up to welcome you... we will heat it up later."
Yang Jingxing had an opinion: "Why don't I get this kind of treatment?"
Qi Qingnuo persuaded: "Just be content, there are standard extra meals every now and then."
Peng Yiwei showed off and praised: "I just met He Peiyuan yesterday...she was so beautiful at the concert."
Qi Qingnuo was even more surprised than Yang Jingxing: "So positive? How many days have it been?" The concert DVD was just released last weekend.
Peng Yiwei explained: "They bought it and I borrowed it to look at... and study."
Yang Jingxing looked down upon him: "Who can you deceive?"
Qi Qingnuo and Peng Yiwei revealed: "You guys go to Chongqing this Saturday and see enough..."
Peng Yiwei was so impatient that he followed Qi Qingnuo to the parking lot and went to the Chinese orchestra without lunch.
Tong Yichun's concerts are basically once every two weeks now, also because of the release of the DVD, so there must be something new on the stage, otherwise the audience will be sorry. Nie Shaoying and the others have been busy for a while. Although they basically change the soup without changing the medicine, Yang Jingxing still
I was going to Chongqing to see the new situation, so the time for An Xin’s small class was also adjusted.
Before eight o'clock on Saturday morning, six people met at the airport, five musicians and one director. It seemed that He Peiyuan and Shao Fangjie were already very familiar with their colleagues, and they were discussing going to eat hot pot or something when they arrived in Chongqing.
This society is really real. The director is the so-called first-class meal, and the musicians are all in the brokerage class. Yang Jingxing doesn’t want to be out of the crowd, and when he got on the plane, he found that he and a middle-aged fat man were the only ones in the first-class cabin. The flight attendants were not very pretty, so Yang Jingxing wanted to change
seat.
The middle-aged woman sitting in front of He Peiyuan and the others happily thanked Yang Jingxing and the flight attendant. She had never flown in first class before. The bassist in the row with the two girls took the initiative to change seats with Yang Jingxing. Yang Jingxing sat next to Shao Fangjie, and He Peiyuan leaned inside.
window.
He Peiyuan should be complaining about Yang Jingxing: "It's so crowded, how wide are you?"
Yang Jingxing explained: "Xiaojie wants to keep a distance from me."
Shao Fangjie shook her head: "No..." and leaned a little closer to Yang Jingxing.
He Peiyuan thought happily and shared with Yang Jingxing: "Xiaojie's parents are coming to Puhai on May Day."
Yang Jingxing was pleasantly surprised: "Okay, is Officer Yan available?"
Shao Fangjie half-heartedly denied: "Not necessarily, it doesn't matter... They mainly came to see me."
Yang Jingxing looked very understanding: "We haven't met yet, have we?"
Shao Fangjie nodded: "No."
Yang Jingxing’s eighth wife: “Have you passed the letter?”
Shao Fangjie found it hard to say: "My mother called me on her birthday, and sometimes she calls me too."
Yang Jingxing was very impressed: "Officer Yan is pretty good, I didn't realize he was so thick-skinned."
