378. The record player and the roller coaster Beethoven and Stravinsky
About the record player.
Cai Song not only understands it, he is also a recognized expert in the circle.
'Do you know anything about record players?'
The two shook hands face to face for the first time, but only two or three seconds later, they were asked such a question by the other party. Cai Song did not consider whether the other party's behavior was within the scope of normal social courtesy.
He also hesitated for a moment, but he did not use these short seconds to figure out the other party's intention of raising this question. He was simply thinking about how to answer this question.
moment.
Cai Song: "I think I understand a little bit."
A humble tone.
...
The topic just opened up.
After figuring out the purpose of Qin Jian's need for a record player, Cai Song did not describe the cartridge in a certain type of record player or the combination of a certain type of alloy tone arm with eloquent words like a salesman.
A certain sound will come out.
"Before that, you need to make sure you have a reasonable audio-visual room."
These words gave Qin Jian some inspiration.
He asked: "Probably similar to the physical treatment of sound in music halls with different decorative structures?"
Cai Song nodded and said: "I think based on your requirements for sound quality, there should be no difference between the two."
Qin Jian thought for a while: "Assuming that I now have a similar audio-visual room, do you have any entry-level record players to recommend?"
After a pause, he added with a smile: "I am a complete layman in this aspect."
"Listen to the piano?" Cai Song asked.
"Listen to the symphony too." Qin Jian replied.
Hearing the word 'symphony', Cai Song's brows couldn't help but jump, "You also like symphony?"
"Don't you like the piano?" Qin Jian asked.
"Yes, I like Bach's piano works."
"I think no one can reject Bach's piano works, just like no one can reject Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C minor."
Cai Song shook his head and said with a smile: "If I could, I would vote for Stravinsky's Three Movement Symphony."
"The future of classical music should not exist only in the past."
He still had a humble tone.
Stravinsky, known as the godfather of neoclassical music, 100 years after the Three Viennese Masters headed by Beethoven laid the foundation for the concept of classical music, Stravinsky took his neoclassical ideas to the forefront
born.
Qin Jian was not surprised by Cai Song's words. On the contrary, the other party gave a statement that completely combined his character, just like how he integrated the modern stage technology of the 21st century with the classical opera of the 18th century.
But if it just represents his personal preference, he can completely accept Chaisson putting Stravinsky above Beethoven.
But taking into account the classical taste of the public, the classical music of the 18th century should still be the mainstream now.
As for the abstract "absolute music" advocated by the modern music school, Qin Jian feels that it will take at least one to two centuries to test it. He does not resist the neoclassical modern music school, but everyone who engages in classical music
Musicians all have their own preferences.
You love Chopin more, but I am willing to flirt with Liszt. This is harmless.
As for whether the future of classical music should look forward or backward, this question should perhaps be viewed in the long history of human cultural development.
This is not a matter of peeking at the skirt and revealing the whole body.
"Who knows," Qin Jian sighed, "but time will always give the answer."
Cai Song nodded solemnly, "I also hold this view."
Like a pair of old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, they started chatting for a few words, and then they worked together to clear the table.
"By the way, are you going to the seminar on Rach's works next month?"
"go."
Being the only two men at a small party and just talking and talking always seems ungentlemanly.
Cai Song pushed a plate to Qin Jian's side, "Put this plate over there, I don't eat meat."
"vegetarian?"
"Um."
Just as he was talking, several girls came back together, each of them holding two large plates in their hands.
The two men frowned in unison when they saw this.
Who can eat this?
However, after the meal officially started, their worries were put away. The girls' fighting ability for food such as barbecue shocked them.
At the same time, Jiang and Ning could not help but have some doubts about the men beside them.
Did they know each other before?
If they didn't know each other, why did they have so much to talk about when they first met face to face?
They talk about a certain composer, a certain piece of music history, or even the pronunciation principle of an indigenous string instrument in a certain place in Germany.
Only, the women at the dinner table are regarded as nothing.
This made the two girls feel both angry and amused.
But I have to say that the content of their chat sounded really interesting.
So the girls gradually stopped talking.
The girls listened to the story while eating meat. From time to time they interrupted to ask questions and got two competing answers.
This is much more interesting than studying music history.
Also served food.
So, the meal passed quickly.
Before leaving.
Qin Jian and Cai Song exchanged phone numbers.
"Then I'll see you next year." Qin Jian said and held the hand that the other party extended.
Cai Song said: "Don't talk so far away. I will take you to a store next month. There are good things there."
"good."
Farewell to Cai and Jiang at the door of the restaurant.
Ning Qianxia felt that she didn't understand the last part, so she asked, "What do you mean?"
Looking at the two people leaving, Qin Jian snorted.
"He will also attend the seminar on Rach's works next month."
...
After eating and drinking, of course he wanted to continue playing. After waiting in line for half an hour, Qin Jian got on the Extreme Nimbus again.
In the waiting area, Ning Qianxia asked Qin Jian what he and Cai Song said when they were not there to get food.
"piano."
"symphony."
"Beethoven."
"Teslavinsky."
Qin Jian thought for a while, "There is also a record player."
Ning Qianxia asked again: "Didn't you talk about this competition?"
Qin Jian once again tried to lift his chest hard to break free of the safety valve device that fixed his body. After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Contest..."
The next second.
The "sai" in Qin Jian's mouth turned into a harsh "Ah!!!" at a speed of 240km/h.
A 'swish' sound.
The car body sped out, and the tragic screams were heard again.
Accompanied by the laughter of the Queen of the Night.
...
...
After the garden party ended, the club members returned to the hotel after dinner.
"Pay attention to safety and come back early."
In front of the hotel, Li Shuang gave the last words and everyone dispersed.
After a busy few days, we will leave for Yanjing tomorrow. You can choose to make your own arrangements for this last night.
Ning Qianxia, Li Shasha, Zheng Feng, Chen Tangjie and Ding Yaru were going to ride the Ferris wheel and asked Qin Jian if they wanted to go.
Qin Jian was so excited when he heard this that he immediately refused.
His legs are still weak.
"It's almost time to play and come back quickly. We have to rehearse in the afternoon when we get back to school tomorrow!"
Across the road, Qin Jian shouted to several people.
However, the only responses he received were words such as 'Can't hear you~', 'Cut~~~' and 'Ugh~~~'.
