758. Chinese Freehand Leave White Fang Xiaoyu Says No

[Chopin Gold Medal winner Piano Key reports performance to the motherland]

[2015-11-07, People’s Daily, Li Wei]

'Our newspaper in Yanjing, November 7th, reporter Li Kui, Chinese player Qin Jian, who recently won the gold medal in the 17th Chopin International Competition, showed his world-recognized musical talent to the people of his motherland yesterday.'

'In this concert at the Zhongshan Concert Hall, he successively played the "Da Polonaise", "Ballade", "Nocturne", "Ballade", "Mazurka" and "Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor".

Chopin's various musical works, and finally performed the famous Chinese folk song "Jasmine" which he personally adapted.'

‘He is collaborating with the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Li Fenghua. The concert is hosted by the Ministry of Culture and hosted by Hua Performance Company.’

'As the youngest contestant in the more than 70-year history of the Chopin Piano Competition and the Chinese with the highest score in the finals, Qin Jian was commented by the authoritative Chopin Competition special commentator Gomez: "He has proven that he is mastering Chopin's performance.

A stylistically perfect and most innovative pianist."'

The morning after Qin Yin reported that the concert ended, the grand event of last night's concert was published on the front page of the official website of People's Daily.

Immediately afterwards, major domestic online media came one after another and published articles and comments one after another.

Following the end of the Chopin Competition, a new round of "Qin Keyuan fever" classical piano Internet craze has begun again.

However, the person involved in the heated discussion did not know much about this. He only knew that he had a good sleep last night.

It was a really good sleep, and he also had an interesting dream. In the dream, he and Qin Gang were sitting together playing a father-son duet.

Qin Jian, who wanted to take a day off, had not had time to make plans for the day early in the morning when an invitation call came at nine o'clock in the morning.

The inviter was none other than Tang Feng, a special reporter from ChinaNet who had been stationed in Warsaw during the Chopin Competition.

The two formed a friendship in Warsaw and had several good exchanges.

However, Qin Jian did not receive a formal interview from the other party during the game. The other party proposed it, but it was the time to prepare for the final, so he refused and said he would wait until the game was over.

As a result, he has just had some free time since the end of the game.

Faced with this invitation, Qin Jian agreed without much consideration. It was what he had promised to the other party, and he really had no arrangements for today.

"Just today, Reporter Tang."

"Well, is school okay?"

"Okay, see you at noon."

The two agreed on the phone to meet at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at one o'clock in the afternoon.

After setting a time for the interview, Qin Jian did not leave the school in the morning.

At 10 o'clock, he, Chen Tangjie, and Zheng Feng went to take a harmony lesson from Lao Lin.

Lao Lin didn't know how to feel about Qin Jian's sudden appearance.

Due to Qin Jian's appearance, Lao Lin attended the class with the largest number of students in his more than 20 years of teaching.

When get out of class was about to end, the classroom was already packed with people.

But this doesn't make him too happy, because the classroom discipline in this class is really too noisy.

...

Not long after having lunch with a few people from the club, Tang Feng called again from the Huaguo Yuan.

Then Qin Jian went to the school gate to meet Tang Feng and his assistant.

Tang Feng expressed that he wanted to walk around the school, so Qin Jian took him around the academy.

“Can I take a picture of your campus?”

"certainly."

While walking around, Qin Jian introduced him to the teaching building, school cafeteria and student apartments, and finally went to the piano room downstairs.

The sound of piano and singing in the afternoon are intertwined, adding a sense of warmth to the campus in early winter.

"Wouldn't it affect each other if students of various musical instruments practice in the same building?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

"I don't think so," Qin Jian thought for a while and said, "Practicing the piano is quite lonely in nature. Many times, in addition to regular classes, we need to practice all day long."

"If there is someone practicing with you next door, even if you don't know each other, and you practice for a day across a wall, by the time you finish practicing, you may have remembered where the other person is and what kind of problems will occur."

"Although there will be some interference with each other, it's quite interesting, isn't it?"

Regarding Qin Jian's statement, Tang Fengjue did sound a little nervous.

"What about you?" Tang Feng asked with interest, "What kind of interesting experiences have you had in the piano room?"

Qin Jian smiled and said nothing.

Tang Fengjue might have a story here, but the other party didn't mention it and didn't ask any questions.

"Hi, President."

At this moment, a boy carrying a cello came towards him and took the initiative to say hello to Qin Jian.

"Hi."

Qin Jian raised his hand and nodded with a smile.

Then the three of them continued walking forward.

Tang Feng: "In April this year, I watched one of your Magic Flute series operas. The one at the Poly Theater was very exciting. When I went back, I recommended my colleagues to watch it, but I didn't know until later that it was the last one.

.”

Qin Jian: "Sorry, there were only seven games scheduled at that time."

Tang Feng: "Is there still a chance to see the opera you rehearse at the end of the year?"

Qin Jian: "There will definitely be none this year. The club is preparing for the competition at the end of the year."

Tang Feng: "I heard about the German New Opera Competition."

Qin Jian: "Yes."

Tang Feng: "First of all, I wish you good results in leading the group."

Qin Jian: "Thank you."

As they talked, the two walked to the main building of the concert hall,

Qin Jian invited Tang Feng to the rehearsal hall of Figaro Spring.

"This is your daily rehearsal place?"

Tang Feng looked around after entering the door. His "Ah" sound echoed in the dim hall. It might be the first time he walked into an empty concert hall without audience or actors. He felt a little strange.

"That's right."

Qin Jian walked towards the control room of the concert hall, "It's a little dark, please slow down," Tang Feng and the camera crew followed closely behind.

With a 'click' sound, Qin Jian turned on the center light of the stage and auditorium.

The entire concert hall lit up instantly.

When he saw the whole concert hall, Tang Feng secretly sighed. This concert hall was no worse than those big concert halls he had seen.

"It's really good," Tang Feng praised, "it's better than some municipal concert halls I've seen."

Tang Feng is not exaggerating on this point. As the top conservatory in China, the country does invest a lot of money in the hardware facilities of the Chinese Academy of Music every year.

However, this concert hall has been used for solo rehearsals of "The Spring of Figaro" since last year's National College Opera Competition, and the entire school has acquiesced in this situation.

"Reporter Tang, shall we go to the rest room backstage?" Qin Jian asked.

"I think it's pretty good on the stage." Tang Feng looked at the stage and took a look.

Qin Jian also glanced at the stage. He didn't clean it up after the last rehearsal. Now the stage looks a bit messy.

"This scene fits your campus life very well." Tang Feng said with a smile, "Maybe you are more suitable for interviews on stage."

Qin Jian thought that what he said made sense, "Okay, let's get ready to start."

Tang Feng turned around and told the camera crew to start preparations. Qin Jian came on stage and cleared an open space in front of the podium.

The camera crew set up the camera on the stage. The close-up view is the two chairs next to the podium, and the long-range shot is the messy two rows of music stands and the sides of the two timpani.

Tang Feng and Qin Jian took their seats.

Tang Feng asked: "Are you ready?"

Qin Jian smiled, "Will this interview also be posted online?"
