427. The source of faith is a trial plus a decision
Whether you adapt to it or not cannot change a fact.
The little boy has grown up.
There was a sigh in the empty lounge.
The woman in the mirror is wearing lavender eye shadow.
Really good looking.
...
...
As the applause fell from the stage, the last piece of the first day's concert came.
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
After most of the concert, the profound foundation displayed by the Eastman School of Music made everyone in the audience look forward to their repertoire.
A corner of the stage.
"Sister He Jing is about to appear!" Xia Shu still held a bouquet in her hand.
"Yes." Qin Jian on the side agreed and cast his eyes on the backstage entrance, "Xia Shu."
"Um?"
"Does my face get paralyzed when I play the piano?"
...
moment.
The middle-aged conductor walked onto the stage first, followed by He Jing, and the two walked onto the stage together.
Under the bright desk lamp, He Jing's silver dress shimmered with light, which was a bit eye-catching.
She walked to the center of the stage, picked up the microphone, bowed gently to the audience, and began to speak before the performance.
The melodious Chinese rhythmically introduced the hostess again, and finally she expressed her respect for Lage like every performer.
After the applause fell, He Jing sat down in front of the piano.
While adjusting the piano bench, she also adjusted her breathing rhythm.
The next second after they locked eyes with the conductor, the conductor raised his hand.
All the musicians on the stage made hand gestures to start playing and were waiting for orders.
moment.
The moment the conductor waved his hand, the string section played a brief and clear introduction like a gust of wind.
The next second.
"Bang buzz!!!"
An extremely powerful blow from the piano startled everyone in the audience.
This is not over yet, after this sound, there is another super performance one after another.
A rare opening to the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
He Jing played the same intensity in every sustained note of varying heights in the introduction without any amplitude fluctuations.
This approach cannot be said to be a change from the norm.
There have been too many versions of 'Pa Lord' in history.
Most versions also choose to play these notes at the same volume at the beginning of the introduction.
However, their volumes are controlled within a certain intensity range, so that when the semitone tonic appears, they can still give people an unstable psychological emotion - thus leading to the first variation theme with hints.
But He Jing played it with a forte that was close to three f's, which directly eliminated the unstable emotions that the music melody might bring to people.
In this way, a large part of the audience's attention will be diverted from the music itself to the performer.
So there was the next scene - the band grandly entered the music into the first variation.
The violin plays the first variation of the theme.
...
"Why is this?"
Qin Jian raised a question mark in his heart.
First of all, he could be sure that He Jing definitely did not lose control of her strength due to nervousness, because he paid attention to the processing of the following strong tones. If he read correctly, He Jing should have pressed down her arms instantly and dropped her fingers to grab the keys.
Made the sound effects.
Secondly, the overall volume of the band is also too loud, which means that this scene was rehearsed in advance.
"Listen and take a look."
Qin Jian was not only interested in He Jing's playing method at this moment, he also wanted to peek into her tutor's processing logic through this.
As a lifetime contracted artist with Steinway and the brand spokesperson for the North American and Pacific regions, DeLange’s reputation is really quite big.
...
He Jing's powerful performance captured the attention of most people. Everyone's expectations for this performer are not low.
The song "Ode to the Yellow River" at the manor reception has brought her into the public eye.
As the music fully unfolded, Qin Jian's expression gradually relaxed. He was also looking forward to this performance and wanted to see what He Jing had learned in the past six months.
"This opening is a surprise."
The music continues.
He Jing in front of the piano is like a queen in silver, waving her arms, driving the band and the piano.
Drive every pair of ears.
..
..
Then again, the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini has always played a unique role in the field of piano works.
There is no praise or criticism for this unique behavior, it was entirely caused by Mr. Lage.
The concerto family regards it as a variation, because it has the imprint of twenty-four variations since its birth.
The Variation family believes that its lineage is more of a concerto. This is because no matter in terms of structure, design or tonal combination, it is too large to be accommodated by the family.
Taking advantage of the strengths of both families, the 'Pa Lord' seems to have this 'transcendent' status.
In fact no one wants it.
But that’s fine, otherwise why would there be so many historical performance versions.
Gradually with the arrival of the fourth variation, Qin Jian vaguely understood He Jing's intention in playing.
She did not abandon the performance core of Russian works. She showed precise control in terms of the contrast of volume and the cleanness of timbre.
But she behaved a little differently in the design of the paragraph structure of the variations.
When variation 1 entered variation 2, her speed did not change at all. When variation 2 entered variation 3, she again did not do the fade-out and directly entered variation 3. When entering variation 4, her playing power increased again, and at the same time she
The timbre has changed.
Qin Jian turned his attention directly to the large screen after hearing the sound effects.
I saw the ten fingers on the black and white keyboard completely standing up, and playing with all fingertips enhanced the elasticity and rhythm of the music.
In the dazzling running skills of flying fingers, the woodwinds and strings expand the theme just right.
This treatment seems to completely connect the introduction and variations one, two and three.
"pretty."
Qin Jian secretly praised in his heart that Variation 5 has revealed a rough and bold expression in a new rhythm with high and low notes.
Frequent strong and weak conversions enhance the natural dynamics and tension of the music.
Only the ornamentation of the sixth variation slows down the speed of the music, and maintaining this trend, the music becomes slower and slower, ending with the final performance of the woodwind filled with a hint of sadness.
The seventh variation did not sound immediately.
The whole band also stopped.
About two seconds later.
In the backbeat of Qin Key's breathing rhythm, the bassoon, cello and bass lead out the doomsday theme and create a solemn background for the piano.
He Jing's performance became less intense than before and became quieter.
Until the end of the seventh variation, He Jing stopped again in front of everyone's surprised gazes.
One pause and another two seconds.
"She mistook the seventh variation for an intermezzo."
Someone in the audience said very quietly.
Qin Jian didn't hear this sentence, but he also heard it from the music processing.
"In this way, the introduction to the sixth variation becomes the first part."
He said in his mind that this was completely different from his design at the time.
During the Qin Jian competition, the introduction was used as the first part, variations one to eight were used as the second part, variations nine to sixteen, and seventeen to twenty-four were used as the third and fourth parts respectively.
And there is almost no pause in it. It is done in one breath from beginning to end, and is interpreted completely according to the performance format of a three-movement concerto.
