After hearing Xia Dong's second thought, Qin Jian's mind buzzed.
"what do you mean...?"
Qin Jian was really not sure whether he heard the other party's words clearly.
"That's right, you and the orchestra will be the only ones left at the finals."
"But," Qin Jian's words just came to his lips.
"As you have just seen, without my conductor, the orchestra has no problems."
Xia Dong paused and then changed the subject, "Qin Jian, how much do you know about piano concertos?"
When asked this question, Qin Jian didn't know how to answer for a while. He hesitated and said, "The cooperation between the piano and the orchestra? The confrontation between individual voices and collective voices?"
Xia Dong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Put it another way, do you understand the format of a general piano concerto?"
"You mean three movements?"
"Yes, since Mozart laid down the basic structure of the concerto, the piano concertos born in every era have basically a three-movement structure, with occasional special circumstances."
"In fact, before classicism, the conductors in concertos were all just connoisseurs."
Xia Dong's words made Xiao Linzel on the side also smile, "Of course, the concerto orchestra at that time was still relatively small."
"With the prevalence of classicism, the form of the concerto was fixed, and the orchestra's formation was gradually improved. At this time, the conductor had to stand on the stage."
"Because in a large number of works, there are gaps between each movement, the conductor needs to coordinate the ending after one movement ends, and then start a new movement."
The knowledge in this area is beyond Qin Jian's knowledge, so he can only listen quietly at this moment.
But vaguely, he grasped a key issue.
It seems that the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini does not have a clear movement.
After going through it very quickly from beginning to end, Qin Jian only saw one introduction and twenty-four variations.
Xia Dong continued, "The twenty-four movements of Paganini's Rhapsody on a Theme can barely be divided into three parts, similar to the feeling of three movements, but -"
"They are non-stop."
nonstop...
Qin Jian suddenly realized.
This time, Qin Jian finally understood what Xia Dong meant. From the other party's description from multiple angles, this piece indeed does not require a conductor~
But is it really possible without a conductor?
For this exciting-sounding stage performance, Qin Jian simply went through the scene in his mind...
Sixteen groups of golden stages under warm lights...
The piano takes the place of the podium...
Surrounded by a uniform orchestra....
The scene of two thousand people...
Live broadcast in front of the TV...
have to say...
Qin Jian's heart was moved...
But what if something goes wrong?
Qin Jian opened the space and took another look at [The Day of Wrath].
'After wearing it, the contractor can perform "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" at peak performance within thirty minutes, and it will be released automatically after thirty minutes of wearing it'
Word by word, the introduction to the ring was reaffirmed.
Then he fell into deep thought.
Sadness ended up in the semi-finals with second place in a single round, which can be said to have brought a successful conclusion to his competition trip.
For me, the fourth round is a gamble. From the beginning, the result is unknown.
on the contrary.
You have to admire Xia Dong's boldness and madness.
During the live broadcast of the finals of an authoritative domestic official event, the podium disappeared.
If under such circumstances, he and his orchestra could complete this piece.
For a concert orchestra, this is undoubtedly an absolute display of strength.
Under the spotlight, it’s not just yourself on the stage.
And his Yanjing Philharmonic Orchestra.
Um--
This is probably the purpose of his second idea.
Or, does the other party simply want to make a bold innovation?
But no matter what.
Since the other party dares to bet on the reputation of the band, what scruples do you have?
...
The last question depends on how big the other person's heart is.
...
Gradually, Qin Jian organized his thoughts.
He looked at Xia Dong who was waiting for a reply, "Teacher Xia, I understand what you mean, but I have one more thing to tell you."
Qin Jian raised his bandaged left hand and said calmly, "Sorry, in order to ensure normal performance in the finals, I can't play the piano these days, so..."
In the dark auditorium, Xia Dong was slightly startled, but he quickly answered.
"good."
.......
18:30.
Qin Jian said goodbye to Xia Dong and Xiao Linzell and left the opera hall.
on the stage.
Beside the piano.
"Are you confident?" Xiao Linzeel asked Xia Dong who was standing aside curiously.
"It's hard to say," Xia Dong looked at the young faces packing their instruments and said with a smile, "but I believe in each of them."
"I think it's a bit risky." Little Linzel's expression became serious, "This is your career."
"What you said is true," Xia Dong nodded, "As a commander, you must fully trust everyone under the command platform."
"You told me this."
Little Linseld's expression changed again, but he stopped talking.
There are fewer and fewer people on the stage.
The last young man who put away the violin came over and said, "Teacher Xia, will we still meet at 8:30 tomorrow morning?"
"Well," Xia Dong nodded, "Everyone has worked hard today. Go back and have a good rest."
"It's not hard," the violin man said with a smile, "I will notify everyone to arrive half an hour early."
As the violin man left, there were only two people left on the stage.
"Teacher, please wait for me for a moment."
Xia Dong said as he walked to the first violin's music stand and carefully folded the music scores placed on it.
Then, walking from one music stand to another, he began the last task of the orchestra's rehearsal.
Collection of music scores.
"Is it convenient for you to bring your orchestra to the Mozart International Music Competition in March this year?" Xiao Linzel suddenly said, "There are still two places for invited orchestras in the Asian competition. I can fight for you and the organizing committee."
Xia Dong paused for a moment, "Does it include travel expenses, food and accommodation?"
"Yes." Xiao Linzel also joined the procession of collecting scores, "Would you consider it?"
a long time.
"thank you."
"teacher."
Xia Dong continued to sort out the score.
...
...
Two days later at two o'clock in the morning.
Nanshi Railway Station.
A remote corner of the waiting hall on the first floor.
A little fat man carrying a backpack was holding a train ticket tightly in his hand.
On the ticket, the Kxx93 train from Nanshi to Yanjing West Station is still six hours away from departure.
His headphones were playing Fantanel's Fantasia of Mignonette, composed for piano and flute.
