540. Rush April New Revolution and Scherzo in b minor
How well does Qin Jian understand the Mozart works he plays?
Take the first movement of the K466 Concerto as an example.
When recording in Hamburg, the first audition between him and Savier took 15:13, and the second audition after the two communicated took 15:34.
After an afternoon of discussion, the final playback time was 15:27, which was also the movement time in the final official recording.
It seems that the time difference between each pass is only less than ten or twenty seconds, but each change can be said to imply a game between the conductor and the soloist.
Music is an art of time, and often the length of a note is enough to change the motivational color of the music.
15:27, there is Savier's compromise and Qin Jian's persistence, because the protagonist of this CD is Qin Jian.
As for the first movement that just ended with Cai Song, Qin Jian took 16:03.
After one pass, the whole orchestra and piano cooperated smoothly, and it sounded smooth and smooth. Cai Song was particularly satisfied.
Cai Song admired Qin Jian's grasp of musical ideas in his conducting process. The piano took over the entire empty orchestra with a strong solo, and started playing at the basic speed of the bass string bow before the end of the orchestra's introduction.
Before, he perfectly took over the orchestra, and after that, he continued the speed motive he arranged.
Just these two details are enough to illustrate Qin Jian's comprehensive control over this Mozart work.
What's more important is that Qin Jian not only understood what he was doing, but also completed the entire movement according to his intention.
A thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a good friend is hard to find.
It is more valuable to have a confidant who understands you. Cai Song is somewhat grateful to Qin Jian because the two have always had quite different opinions on classical music.
He was originally worried that Qin Jian would have another dispute with him over some musical details.
In order to arrange this transitional music, Cai Song put a lot of thought into the design of the first movement of k466 and the overture to the Marriage of Figaro. If Qin Jian really doesn't follow him today, then there is nothing he can do. After all, the two of them are musically incompatible.
They are all self-seeking people.
moment.
After all the lingering sounds in the concert hall dissipated, Cai Song gave Qin Jian a "you're awesome" look, gave him a thumbs up, and then took the lead in applauding Qin Jian.
"Wow——————"
Following Cai Song's words, the members of the Gu band also clapped, and the part that was inconvenient for applause clapped their legs with one hand, and the stage became lively for a while.
Qin Jian stood up and bowed with both hands, turned around and shook hands with the first violinist, "Thank you."
"It's an honor to cooperate with you." The male chief said humbly.
End it over and over again.
After the hearty performance, everyone in the Gu orchestra once again looked at Qin Jian with admiration. Everyone knew how difficult his conductor was.
Then Cai Song explained to Qin Jian the details of the appearance of the evening performance.
"No problem, I'll be there on time at seven o'clock." Qin Jian gave the other party an accurate time.
Cai Song: "I'll have someone pick you up at the entrance of the Grand Theater then."
"No, it will be too crowded when the time comes." Qin Jian thought for a while, "Let's meet at the door of the main hall."
"That's fine." The two decided,
Qin Jian packed up the things on the piano, "Then you continue, I will leave first."
"No." Cai Song stopped him quickly, "You're already here, just listen for a while."
The Qin family waved their hands, "Just leave me a good seat tonight."
When Cai Song saw this, he didn't force the other party to stay, "Okay."
After Qin Jian left, Cai Song continued the evening rehearsal.
It doesn't take a while.
The majestic Overture to the Marriage of Figaro filled the entire hall.
"Speed! Speed!!"
...
After finishing the matter here, Qin Jian drove directly back to school, had lunch in the cafeteria, and then went straight into the piano room.
I continued to sort out Xiao Sai’s repertoire.
There are only three days left before the announcement of the qualifiers. Once the results are announced, it means that the countdown to the main competition has officially begun.
The main competition is divided into three stages, one, two, and the final, and Qin Jian’s repertoire has only been sorted out to the second stage.
...
...
At seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Jian arrived at the National Center for the Performing Arts on time with his formal attire, avoiding the noisy crowd, and walked into the main concert hall in a low-key manner.
At this time, a man in black overalls was looking around at the end of the hall. When he saw Qin Jian approaching, he hurriedly took a step forward.
"Hello, Teacher Qin." The man identified himself. He was Cai Song's escort specially assigned to Qin Jian. "If you need anything, just ask me directly."
"Thank you very much." Qin Jian raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 7:05, and there was less than forty minutes left before taking the stage. "Let's go directly to the rest room."
"Okay, Teacher Qin."
Men lead the way.
Send Qin Jian to a separate rest room backstage, "Teacher Qin, do you need your makeup done now?"
"Sorry, let them come now."
Then Qin Jian took back his dress and walked into the lounge.
He had to put on makeup every time he performed on such a large stage, and he was used to it, although he still didn't like people moving around his neck.
Not long after he unfolded and hung up the dress, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Jian looked in the mirror and touched his Adam's apple: "Come in."
then.
A young and compact makeup artist walked in carrying a large makeup bag. She looked a little excited when she saw Qin Jian, "Hello, Teacher Qin!"
"Hello." Qin Jian sat directly in front of the dressing table, "Let's get started."
The makeup artist looks so small, once the gloves are put on, the mask is put on, and the makeup bag is opened, the whole person's temperament is completely different.
This was indeed the case. According to Qin Jian's instructions, she completed her work in less than twenty minutes.
"Um."
Seeing that the style in the mirror had not changed much, and the facial features had naturally softened a little, Qin Jian nodded with satisfaction, turned around and thanked: "Thank you for your hard work."
When the makeup artist saw that Qin Jian was satisfied, he felt relieved and passed the test.
Then she magically took out a carbon pen and a small notebook from her cosmetic bag.
"Teacher Qin, can you give me an autograph?" she said with a smile.
Want to sign? Qin Jian paused upon hearing this, but immediately took the pen and paper hanging in the air.
He signed his name on the blank page with ease. Let’s not talk about whether the handwriting is good or not, but this posture really looks like that.
The makeup artist took the book and looked at it, smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you." She packed her things and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Qin Jian called her, "Do you like piano?"
The makeup artist nodded and smiled and answered Qin Jian's question: "Yes."
After a pause, she continued: "I saw your competition live. Although I went there for someone else, I started to pay attention to you after the competition. I really liked the Passionate Sonata you played."
"Thank you," Qin Jian already knew which game the other party had watched.
"You're welcome, I'm looking forward to your performance tonight, hello~ Teacher Qin." The makeup artist waved her hand and slipped away with Qin Jian's signature.
Should this be the first time he signed autographs for fans? He wasn't sure.
But at least one thing can be explained: someone took the initiative to ask for his signature.
There were still 10 minutes left before going on stage, and Qin Jian had changed into his dress.
