380. The class with an unusual schedule is not the president or the teacher?
“How to divide the timeline of the transitional periods between Preclassicism and Classicism?”
"Late Renaissance?"
"Inaccurate."
"1750?"
"Not exactly."
...
The cold wind made the glass windows crackle, and in the empty large classroom, the melodious sound of string music floated, reflecting the five lights of Baroque glass under the gorgeous and rough melody.
Complexity intertwined, reason solemn.
The violin and cello are like an old man and a young man under the setting sun, chasing tirelessly towards the end of the setting sun.
In the classroom, there was only this music and an old man and a young man.
"The classical style of the late eighteenth century was very different from the pre-classical style of Johann Sebastian Bach and Handel."
There was a trace of solemnity in the old man's cloudy eyes, and his hoarse voice made it possible to hear every word he spoke.
In the third row of the classroom, Qin Jian picked up his pen and wrote down the old man's words again, word for word.
The old man was sitting on the podium, with no lesson plans in front of him and a cane in his hand. The blackboard in the classroom was empty.
Seeing Qin Jian raise his head again, the old man's throat started to move again.
"The classic style has rich and beautiful rhetoric, strict and precise interpretation, scholarly polyphonic writing, clear themes, and comprehensive spirit."
"The pre-classical style is clear, natural and smooth, with beautiful melody."
The old man paused, "This reflects the unpredictable emotions in the hearts of pre-classical creators when they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to creation. This emotion is comparable to Rousseau's confession, and also like the confessions of Beethoven and later romantic composers.
.”
"In fact, the transition period between these two music styles is longer than a person's life."
The old man's soliloquy teaching method still made Qin Jian feel a bit romantic in such an atmosphere.
moment.
He finished writing down the last note.
When he raised his head again, the old man had already stood up.
"That's it for today. Just follow the usual rules for homework."
After saying that, he walked toward the classroom door on crutches, and Qin Jian quickly stood up.
"goodbye teacher."
The old man just waved his hand and said, "Pay attention to the speed of the music."
...
Today is the Friday of the second week since Qin Jian returned from Haishi, and it is the seventh formal professional class given to him by Li Sanli.
Qin Jian originally thought that the formal class would start with the origin of opera, but he never expected that Li Sanli would start with the history of Western music and use his unique storytelling method to construct a gradually clearer world for him bit by bit.
The origin of this world can be traced back to the Aegean civilization of ancient Greece and Rome.
The fifth century AD was the golden age of Greek civilization. A series of theories on temperament, scales, modes, notation, etc. mainly elaborated on this period. Simplicity, solemnity, and focus on mental education were the characteristics of the music of this period.
While the Greeks were still fiercely debating aesthetic issues such as conservatism and innovation in music, the brave Romans conquered the place in 146 BC.
As the cultural center moved westward, music activities became more practical, such as grand celebration music in public places, military ceremonial music, and large-scale music competitions were often held.
All this was brand new to Qin Jian. In his memory, even his previous Western music history teacher had never told this story.
If Li Sanli hadn't told him, he wouldn't even know that the church music that everyone talks about now actually came into being with the birth of Christianity in the early years of the Christian era.
In sharp contrast to the highly entertaining music of the Roman Empire, Christian music inspires people who yearn for the "Kingdom of Heaven" with its pious and solemn ascetic tendencies.
This is probably the reason why church music will dominate medieval music in the future.
Behind all questions there is a relatively correct answer and countless relatively wrong answers.
The key is that you need to know that there is such a problem.
Qin Jian was glad that he could get such a question in every class, a question that was easily ignored but was in a crucial position.
Although he needed to spend a lot of time and energy searching for information and documents in order to solve such a problem, he was happy with it. He enjoyed the feeling of running around in the classroom, library, dormitory, piano room, cafeteria, etc. every day.
Of course, the homework for each class is not just a question, there is also a piece of music.
Li Sanli asked Qin Jian to describe the music he appreciated in each class on the piano, reflecting the background and characteristics of the music.
Just like Handel's "Pasacalia" which is still being played repeatedly in the classroom.
Qin Jian knew that the piece itself was not a string duet. The version he was hearing now was adapted by violinist Halvorsen. The original version was the last movement of "Harpsichord Suite No. 7 in G minor"
.
As one of the two peaks of the Baroque period, even imitating the adapted works of Handel is definitely not as simple as it sounds.
This also involves the problem of transplanting the two sound-producing instruments to the piano, and after that, he also has to consider how to use the advanced piano techniques to imitate the various difficult techniques of string instruments.
"Pay attention to the speed of the music."
Fortunately, the teacher reminded me.
Music in the Baroque period was not very fast.
But drama in music is much more troublesome than playing a song.
Qin Jian listened to the music, thought, and continued writing.
‘Blocky and chordal textures alternate with counterpoint textures imitating fugue styles.’
"Um."
'There is also a two-part, two-octave unison.'
"This is easier to deal with."
...
Qin Jian also asked Li Shuang and Huang Cheng if they had experienced such a situation back then, and the answer they got was: Same.
Li Shuang handed in his homework with violin, and Huang Cheng handed in his homework with singing.
When it comes to myself, it is natural to play.
This piece is different from the one played to Shen Qingci every Thursday and Tuesday.
If Shen Qingci was given height, then Li Sanli was given width.
The higher the height, the more people will see it, but it is undeniable that the height is determined by the width in some respects.
It's such a simple and clear truth, Qin Jian really didn't notice it before.
I chose Hua Guo Yuan and opera.
Qin Jian felt that he had made the right choice.
"knock off."
After closing a page full of notes, Qin Jian left the classroom.
As soon as he left the teaching building, he happened to bump into Natsuki who had just finished practicing the piano.
The two of them said hello and saw that they were both going to have a meal, so they made a companion.
The school cafeteria seemed quite deserted on Friday afternoon. When the two of them arrived at the cafeteria, there were only a few scattered tables filled with people.
"I heard that you are also taking care of students outside?"
"Yes, President, it's been a long time."
"Don't make trouble."
"Yeah? Is there something wrong with my title? I think everyone in the group calls you that."
"They're scratching me."
"What is 'tickling'?"
"Well," Qin Jian thought for a moment, "just scold me."
"Search Disinei~" Xia Shu nodded seriously.
"Yeah." Qin Jian also nodded. He thought Xia Shu's Japanese was nice and interesting. "How are you preparing for Rach's music and painting etudes?"
"Speaking of this Monday, can you help me listen? I'm afraid that the teacher will...prick me on Tuesday?" Xia Shu blinked inquiringly, "Is this the right way to use it?"
Qin Jian gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay."
During the meal, the two of them chatted about professional issues. After all, according to the rules, both of them are from the same school.
...
At the door after the second meal.
"Worship the summer tree."
"Bye, senior brother, I'm going out to class."
There seems to be nothing wrong with this senior brother's shouting.
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Qin Jian felt happy
After living in China for half a year, it is true that Xia Shu is much more cheerful than before.
It feels a bit like a Japanese energetic girl.

"6:30."
"I can still practice the piano for four hours."
Muttering, he walked towards the piano room building.
