Chapter 260 The opening scene of the Vienna State Random Ensemble?
"It sounds very interesting." Qin Jian interjected.
"This library has the richest collection of records in Europe."
Looking at Qin Jian, Liao Linjun smiled and said, "Maybe we can find Chris' Seventh Variation."
Qin Jian's heart thumped, but he recovered in the blink of an eye, "Maybe."
at this time.
There was a burst of music not far away. It sounded like a small ensemble, with strings and wind instruments.
Liao Linjun: "What day is it today?"
Duan Ran: "Thursday."
...
The three of them followed the direction of the sound and came to a grassy park.
On the lawn not far away, a dozen men, women and children of different skin colors surrounded a white-haired lady, each tinkering with the musical instruments in their hands.
"What is this?" Qin Jian asked.
"They are practicing an ensemble, and the old man in the middle is named Scheer." Liao Linjun said, "She is a professor of the composition department of the college, and sometimes organizes some music lovers to conduct some music ensemble exercises."
"No wonder there are children and old people participating." Duan Ran said, "At first I thought it was a class."
"Sometimes there will be classes here," Liao Linjun explained, "and here you can't judge by age. There are classrooms with students under thirty years old and students over fifty years old."
"I have a classmate from Poland. She has not graduated yet and is still in school. However, she already has her own family and children."
"Unlike the domestic system, no one here will limit the time for your graduation, but the premise is that you need to pay the registration fee within the specified time every year."
"Even if you are not a student at the school, as long as you are interested in learning music," Liao Linjun pointed to the white church behind the lawn, "there, many college teachers will give open classes every week, and it is free."
Talking and walking all the way, under Liao Linjun's detailed explanation, Qin Jian basically had a grasp of the situation here.
This includes the details of studying abroad.
...
At noon, Liao Linjun took the two of them to a small restaurant near the school.
Upon entering the store, Liao Linjun greeted the boss affectionately, and they seemed to know each other.
“This was one of my old favorite restaurants.”
On Liao Linjun's recommendation, the three of them ordered the same 'Grilled Pork Ribs Rice.'
Don't tell me, Qin Jian thinks this sweet and greasy taste is really good.
While eating, Shen Qingci suddenly came to the restaurant.
So I added another grilled pork rib rice.
...
After the meal, the four of them took a bus to a concert hall called Beekman.
In less than an hour, Qin Jian and Duan Ran finished recording their personal information, checked the entries, and each received their participation certificates.
All the pre-match matters have been dealt with, and now only the problem of the concert orchestra remains.
"Do you have any ideas?" Shen Qingci asked Qin Jian, "You can use the orchestra provided by the organizer, or you can choose the Mozart Symphony Orchestra I recommended to you. I have collaborated with Conductor Chidli several times, and his
Mozart handled it well, if you are interested I can contact you."
Regarding this issue, Qin Jian personally doesn't care. The specifics will have to be determined after rehearsals to determine whether it is suitable, but thinking about it, it is not much different, so there is no need to trouble Shen Qingci.
"No trouble, Teacher Shen, just use the orchestra provided by the competition."
"Okay, then you can tell the staff later, and they will arrange the location and time for you to rehearse. It will probably be tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow. However, there is only one rehearsal, so you can take care of it yourself."
"I understand." Qin Jian nodded.
Liao Linjun warned again, "The ensemble competition will start at 10 a.m. tomorrow. You two should come here 40 minutes early. The order of the competition will be based on the results of all contestants in the competition area. It will be announced on site in advance."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Let's take a good rest today. We have judges' work tomorrow so we won't be able to take care of you. You two take care of yourselves."
The two nodded again.
After the final explanation, the four of them parted.
Qin Jian and Duan Ran walked around for a while before returning to the hotel.
As soon as he returned to the room, Qin Jian immediately opened Mozart's last wish.
However, Chapter 3 was still not unlocked, which made him a little frustrated.
"Maybe I was dazzled this morning."
After catching up on his sleep, Qin Jian went through two sets of math problems under Duan Ran's incredulous gaze.
In the evening, the two left the hotel again and went out
...
Early the next morning, the two people dressed up and arrived at Beekman Concert Hall.
Nine o'clock sharp.
At this time, there was no lively feeling outside the concert hall gate as expected. On the road in front of the concert hall, there were old ladies walking their dogs and middle-aged couples pushing strollers.
The two people passed through the gate and came to the inner hall of the hall, still not feeling the atmosphere of the game.
However, the stalls set up everywhere caught Qin Jian's attention.
It coincides with the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, so major European and American record companies have released various albums about Mozart.
At this moment, many staff who look like salesmen are holding exquisite CDs and recommending them to people coming and going.
"This one seems pretty good." Looking at the CD set of concertos recorded by Karajan and Zilmann, Qin Jian suddenly thought about it. As a result, a CD appeared in Duan Ran's hand on the other side, "I like to ask for it."
Koloff’s version.”
"purchase."
The two people who came to compete early in the morning bought more than a dozen genuine CDs before entering the concert hall.
But this time it was Qin Jian who swiped the card.
.....
At 9:30, the staff announced the order of appearance for this game.
Qin Jian and Qin Jian are the 13th group to appear.
On the stage full of retro flavor, the first group came on stage and started performing.
The repertoire played was exactly the k521 played by Qin Jian and his duo.
Although except for the thirty people on the judges' bench, there were less than one-third of the people in the audience in this concert hall, which could accommodate about five hundred people.
This is completely different from the feeling in the Asian competition, giving people the feeling of a weekend concert stage.
"Why are there so few viewers?" Qin Jian was a little dissatisfied. This related to a very important issue.
"Maybe it's because this is just an ensemble competition." Duan Ran shrugged during the contestant table, "I think it's okay."
"Which one is better?"
"air is fresh."
However, although the audience was small, this did not affect the performance of players from all continents.
Every group of players who can reach this stage naturally comes from thousands of troops.
There is no doubt about his strength and playing level.
After playing a group of works, Qin Jian also experienced many different ensemble styles.
Putting aside the music itself, from the visual sense alone, he found that players in Europe and the United States have richer body movements.
In some details, such as a p expression, their actual playing volume is not low, but when they wink and play carefully, it really gives people a weak feeling.
Time passed quickly as the two talked, laughed and enjoyed the music.
