608. Music Festival First Experience Symphonic Poem Peer Gynt
"Thank you for your enthusiasm."
Hubbard blew a kiss back to his fans, causing them to scream again.
This scene made many of the old academics who took the photo a little unhappy, or it made them a little envious.
You must know that pioneer composers of modern music are not often known. This is because most of their music is not even listened to by professional classical people. Furthermore, there is no place for them in the market environment.
Hubbard bowed, his flowing long hair flowing freely, showing a rock star temperament on the stage, and the black frames added a bit of the high-pressure temperament of an intellectual.
"So handsome."
Listening to Chi Rui's heartfelt praise, Qin Jian curled his lips.
On the stage, Hubbard introduced his works, and his fluent English was so brilliant that Qin Jian could only take out his mobile phone to pass the boring time.
In comparison, most people still listen with gusto.
"Yes, it is up to us composers to decide what pianists play, and sometimes when a piece of classical music has been recorded thousands of times throughout history, it naturally develops a symbol."
"So as a modern composer, we must be brave enough - or naive enough to break the shocking classics"
"I want to emphasize here that the possibility of being closed to classical music, I think needs to be changed a long time ago."
"I am honored to be invited to the great city of Bergen today, and I am very happy that the premiere of "Snow Mountain" can be completed in such a beautiful and moving city.
"Thank you all for coming and letting us witness this great moment together."
After Hubbard finished speaking this last sentence, he sat down at the piano and began to play.
Qin Jian also installed his mobile phone in time and looked towards the stage.
"When——"
A low diminished seventh chord first sounded over the stage, followed by a series of intensive ascending chromatic scale-like cadenzas.
"Dang!!——Dang——!"
The cadenza, which has a loose rhythm and slow speed, ends with two strange chords.
Extremely cold.
The atonal musical characteristics also began to appear at this moment. As the music fully unfolded, the atmosphere on the stage also became weird.
Qin Jian was still attracted at the moment when Hubbard's ever-increasing accent rhythm on his right hand brought out all the modern beats.
He was not attracted by the work itself, but as a piano player, he found this way of handling the keyboard interesting.
Hubbard banged the piano loudly in a wonderfully changing beat rhythm, and the piano seemed to be no longer a traditional classical instrument, emitting a sound-changing effect like a monster roaring.
But no matter how it changed, he still knew that it was Steinway's voice.
Moreover, the music festival guide clearly states that the pianos for this event are all provided by Steinway, and their models are all upgraded versions of the d274.
The music on the stage continued for ten minutes in a way that was sometimes low and sometimes loud. After the stage became quiet, Qin Jian thought the music was about to end.
At this moment, Hubbard moved again, and this time he still played the piano in a fast and dense scale.
Experienced classical music professionals can tell that the music played this time is no longer atonal, and the melody has gradually become clearer.
However, less than five sections later, Qin Jian frowned.
In the middle of the theme, he clenched his fist, and the sentence "grass**" suddenly rose in his heart!!
Listening to such a familiar internal harmonic structure, he took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.
Looking at Hubbard again, Qin Jian's disgust had reached the extreme.
Although Kesley's Seventh Variation was not written by him, he has never admitted that it was his work in any public forum. In fact, among a few people in the circle, it has long been spread that this work was written by a young pianist from China.
Created by home.
Moreover, Qin Jian only used this piece in competitions. After that, except for giving the score to Duan Ran, Qin Jian never played this piece on any occasion.
But at this moment, at an international music festival, a famous composer blatantly used the third movement of the K7 variation in his own work and claimed that it was an original premiere.
No matter how cleverly Hubbard used composition techniques to dismember the third movement and how he changed the harmonic direction, the melody line and counterpoint are like irrefutable proof that he is plagiarizing.
a long time.
"Sounds good."
Qin Jian sighed and laughed angrily. He had to admit that this melody was really nice.
But he couldn't just laugh about it.
After Hubbard finished playing the whole piece, it was actually after all the melody lines of the third movement of Gram 7 that it ended with a diminished seventh chord that was exactly the same as the beginning.
Incomparably harmonious, and echoing from beginning to end.
Hearing this, Qin Jian completely understood that Hubbard should have arranged the entire work around the third movement of Ke 7 from the beginning.
As soon as the concert ended, before Qin Jian had time to say goodbye to Chi Heng, Chi Heng hurried out from the queen's house and found him.
When the two people met, the expressions on each other showed that they were both paying attention to one issue at this time.
How could Chi Heng, a postgraduate student majoring in composition in Hannover, not understand what was going on?
He had listened to all the new piano works in Europe in the past two years, so he knew that Qin Jian's piece had been plagiarized.
The two had a brief exchange, and the general situation was as analyzed by Qin Jian.
"It's okay. Excuse me for now. I'm going to deal with some problems."
After Qin Jian finished speaking, he took the backstage recording sent to him by Chi Heng and left.
He didn't even eat lunch, so he went straight to the old bartender. He had to make sure whether Hubbard mentioned 'him' in the introduction to his work. If so, the matter could be considered from another angle. After all, this kind of incident happened in history.
Quite a few.
Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata and Mozart's K457 Piano Sonata No. 14 have many similarities. The two works have the same tonal relationship and the structures of the three movements are also similar.
One after another, Beethoven's creation is at the back.
However, Mr. Renbei publicly stated that he was inspired by Mozart's works when he created this piece, and it was not an accidental coincidence.
But it is obvious that Hubbard's character is not as upright as Uncle Bei.
In the hotel, after the old bartender listened to the entire "Snow Mountain" recording, he regretfully told Qin Jian that Hubbard did not mention him and Ke Qi Variations.
"This is ridiculous." The old bartender sighed, "Jian, have you applied for copyright for your music score?"
Qin Jian nodded. He was also glad that he had gained a lot of insight last year.
The old bartender listened to it again and sighed again: "A very profound dismemberment technique."
The old bartender paused and then said: "This matter is not easy to handle, what are you going to do?"
Qin Jian understands that this kind of thing is really difficult to do. There are only so many notes, only a few rhythms, and so many structures. So if Hubbard bites him to death and it is an accident, then Qin Jian will
I really don’t know what to do with time.
But he just asked the old bartender to confirm whether the other party mentioned him in the introduction. Now the question has been answered.
Qin Jian has already thought about how to deal with the problem. Anyway, the copyright of the work is in his own hands, and the distribution rights are already in Vaughn's hands.
Qin Jian planned to leave this matter to Vaughn, thinking that DG's legal department should be very good at this kind of thing.
"Uncle, I sold this piece to DG last year, but it hasn't been released yet."
Seeing Qin Jian's suspicious smile, the old bartender also smiled, "In that case, this is not entirely a bad thing."
An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled.
After analyzing things clearly, everything seemed to become simpler.
