The results of Chen Tangjie's hard training in front of the mirror in his dormitory for two days are finally going to be tested.
It was his first time to formally conduct in front of others, and he was lucky. The rock canon only had one part at the beginning.
Ding Yaru's cello solo begins.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and he raised and lowered his left hand, his posture and expression somewhat reminiscent of Qin Jian.
The conductor's baton fell, and Ding Yaru's bow pulled.
...
Soon, the first audition was over.
Wang Xiaoliang's electric guitar playing is indeed as good as his playing. He usually looks carefree and talkative, but his skills are beyond words. He can bend strings, vibrato, pull strings, finger-pick and play with artificial overtones in all kinds of fancy ways.
Zheng Feng's jazz drum is as steady as ever, stably fixing the melody speed and style structure of the entire orchestra.
The harmonic underpinning of the string section and the metallic color of the brass also complement each other.
"Qin Jian, do you think it's okay?"
The first pass was completed completely. Chen Tangjie was a little excited. As a newcomer on the podium, he was satisfied with his first time.
Everyone's eyes followed his words and moved to the figure behind the piano.
"not bad."
Qin Jian was not surprised that everyone could get through it in one go.
In the 19-member orchestra currently on stage, the person responsible for playing each part is the leader of the club. Their personal strength level is already outstanding.
After more than three months of rehearsals and running-in, everyone has a certain tacit understanding with each other.
Secondly, the technical difficulty of Rock Canon is several levels lower than that of Magic Flute, so the current situation is natural.
But the relative simplicity of rock canon does not mean that it is easy to excel. The two works each belong to their own styles, the former is pure classical, and the latter has distinctive electronic rock adaptation characteristics.
For the first time, while Qin Jian played his part in a low voice, he was also listening carefully to everyone's feelings, rhythm, and even timbre.
Everyone studied classical music and is still in the process of learning, so their performance habits still retain strong classical traces, which exposes the problem of stylistic interpretation.
"Tang Jie, let's do it again with everyone."
Qin Jian suggested that everyone play at a slower pace this time. Since most parts are played by only one person, he hopes that everyone can clearly show their part.
"ok."
Everyone nodded, and Chen Tangjie raised his hand again.
The second rehearsal begins.
really.
When everyone slowed down, the problems exposed became more obvious.
For example, a phrase with the same rhythm pattern was originally completed by a clarinet and a violin. Although the two instruments are playing in unison, the combined effect must be the same. For the same set of eighth notes, the clarinet uses the tonguing method.
The violin part uses the slurring method. The former sound is two short tones, while the latter sound is two full and close tones. In this way, after being put together, other parts are added for a while.
, you can imagine how messy it is.
And there are many more problems like this.
Without solving these problems, it will be difficult to explain the style of rock music.
After the second time, Qin Jian raised his hand to signal Tang Jie to come over.
"Everyone rest first."
Then the two of them discussed with the score, and Qin Jian explained to the other party one by one the questions he heard and saw.
"As for the playing method of wind instruments and the bowing method of string instruments, I suggest that you unify them and don't fight on their own. Especially if the melody part has unison parts, the sound of wind instruments is inherently slower than that of string instruments, and everyone is also very
The less exposure to this kind of music score, the less experienced you will be, so you need to do your homework before rehearsals."
Chen Tangjie nodded seriously after hearing this. Qin Jian didn't say that he didn't feel anything yet, but now that he thinks about it again, it's exactly what the other party said.
"Then what should we do next?" he asked.
Qin Jian thought for a while, "There is still a week before the performance, and we can still do it four or five times, so we decided to have enough time."
"There is no rehearsal today. You ask everyone to find each other and bring everyone who has the same melody part together. First, unify the playing method, then practice on the stage, and solve problems together when they are found."
Chen Tangjie said: "It's better that you come and tell everyone."
"good."
Qin Jian clapped his hands as he spoke, and the stage fell silent instantly.
He told everyone what he had just said in detail. Everyone immediately understood what was going on, and then got busy with music scores and pens.
"Small light."
"What's up?"
Qin Jian walked to Wang Xiaoliang and looked down at the yellow rectangular effector at his feet, "OD1, good stuff."
Wang Xiaoliang showed a rare expression of humility and scratched his head: "This belongs to my father. He heard that I wanted to use it, so he mailed it to me yesterday along with the piano."
Qin Jian's eyes lit up. Wang Xiaoliang's father used to play the electric piano, but for some reason he switched to the pipa in his generation.
"Then please be pity, but the problem is that based on the tone on the stage today, the distortion is too severe. Is it a problem with the sound?" Qin Jian asked suspiciously.
Wang Xiaoliang said: "Maybe, my box is from Fender 25w and has its own distortion."
"Then change it. Tomorrow you go to the student union and ask if there is a suitable speaker. If not, buy it. The funds will be included in the club, and it will be used in the future anyway."
"okay."
"You play well. Let's practice the solo part again."
"necessary."
After explaining all the issues clearly, Qin Jian gave some of his own opinions specifically on the issues with Chen Tangjie's gestures. After all, he was an amateur himself, so he could only give some opinions in some places.
After finishing my work, it wasn't long before the rehearsal ended.
Qin Jian, who had agreed to only play the piano, broke his promise again.
"It's old time the day after tomorrow."
"That's it for today."
Today's Rock Canon rehearsal ends.
...
After returning to the dormitory, Qin Jian had time to record the contents of this morning's class in notes, especially the details and essentials of playing the first movement of La 2, as well as several key points of the third movement of La 3, explained by Shen Qingci.
He had vaguely noticed these breaths in the mountains of Salzburg. After hearing about them from the other party, he felt like he had a sudden enlightenment.
But only half of it has been opened, and the remaining parts still need to be broken through in practice.
23:30.
Qin Jian breathed a sigh of relief and checked through his friend group. Just as he was about to put down his phone and sleep, a new message was sent.
This is a picture of a very good looking braised eggplant.
Qin Jian replied with a smile.
Let It Go: Where's the rice?
Then there was another piece of steaming white rice.
Let it go: Want to eat.
Jing: Come if you want to eat
moment.
Let it go: Sister, I miss you
Jing: Not bad, I became sweet-tongued after going to college.
Let it go: I'm serious!
Jing: Why was there no movement that week?
Jing:Huh?
...
Let it go: Wait a minute, sister, I'm going to the toilet.
