Qin Jian gave a very interesting introduction to the initial description of this album.
He expressed that he hopes to present different listening images through the different modes of each piece in Op.28.
"Each of these twenty-four works has a unique key."
"I firmly believe that every key has its own independent color life."
"There is the key of C major, which symbolizes the beginning of pure white."
"There is a G minor that means deep blue nostalgia."
"The fiery G major is full of passion."
"The brown B-flat minor is full of piety."
Qin Jian was speaking and demonstrating on the piano.
He only used brief excerpts of each track to demonstrate and explain, but he brought full audio-visual enjoyment to the audience.
"E minor is like a scavenger passing by a bustling city street. He is a little confused at this moment, but he still has to walk in one direction."
People in the audience listened to the music in their ears and followed Qin Jian's music and easily transformed themselves into the role of urban scavengers.
However, different images soon appeared in their sensory images. The scavengers were just metaphors, and the crossroads also had four directions.
There are different scenes behind different directions, but the music fragment ends at this moment.
"The key of B flat major is a secret admirer, which is a simple secret love. It may have a crush on a young girl who works in a coffee shop, or a black-haired boy with glasses who is reading quietly."
Qin Jian casually sketched out a cantabile melody in 3/4 time, and the atmosphere at the scene was immediately enveloped in a thick and anxious emotion, which was not lacking in heat.
Everyone invariably thought of one person at this moment, and the vastly different pictures finally stopped at the same time with a falling sound.
"F minor can be a piece of bread that is almost eaten, or a person who is cheated on, they are equally angry..."
...
Only the excerpts always make people crazy and unfinished, but there is nothing that can be done about it, not to mention that Qin Jian introduced a few songs.
There are also several quite famous pieces that he didn't mention at all.
He stood up from the piano and said: "This is just the picture I see at the moment. Maybe every day in the future, when I listen to this set of works again, I will see a different picture."
"I hope that such a change will happen by then, which means that my original intention of recording this set of works has been realized."
"This is a process worth looking forward to."
"thank you all."
“Wow————————————————”
The applause from the audience was about to overturn the entire scene.
At the same time, everyone's expectations for this album have already been ramped up.
During Qin Jian's introduction, he did not describe one word how good this set of preludes was, nor did he introduce the birth process of this set of works.
He used simple sentences and some simple demonstrations to give the audience a vivid art class or film class.
It makes people feel how warm the light pink F major is, and how profound the dark green D minor is.
In the following statement, even he personally expressed his certain expectations for this set of records.
How could the Chopin fans present and the enthusiastic fans in front of the live broadcast room not be moved by such a record with "multiple qualities"?
People in the audience couldn't wait to buy this record and take it home to look for their own mirror.
There is just one more link before the book signing.
As the applause fell, the press conference entered the second stage.
Live Q&A.
Reporter: "Is the creative idea for "Mirror" derived from your life experience?"
Qin Jian: "All musical images come from the music itself."
Reporter: “Is the 24 major and minor colors your original idea?”
Qin Jian: "The first person to propose the connection between music and color was the German Kischer. Later, this theory was put into practice by the French musician Castells. My teacher Liao Linjun published "Music in Music" specifically on this theory.
The book "Modal Color" was her introduction to the research field of music and color.
Reporter: “Can you talk about your original creative motivation for recording such an album?”
Qin Jian: "To record the 17th Chopin Competition."
Music fan: "Will this record come with a story introduction for each piece?"
Qin Jian: "No, whatever you heard, you saw."
Music fan: "Will there be simultaneous release of digital music?"
Qin Jian: "Yes, the person in charge of the distribution will answer the details later."
Music fan: "Do you have any plans to launch a world tour this year?"
Qin Jian: "Not yet, thank you for your attention."
The last person to ask the question was a Chinese fan: "Teacher Qin, was the statement on Weibo posted by you yourself?"
Qin Jian: "Yes, thank you for your support."

So the stone hammer from my own mouth shattered the last bit of fantasy of domestic fans.
The second half of the question-and-answer session was taken over by Morrison, the record publisher.
He explained to media reporters why this album was not pre-sold and released, and finally stated that this album will be launched on major digital music platforms around the world at 12 noon on January 29th, Yanjing time.
Regarding the selling price of digital records, Morrison said: "There will be corresponding adjustments according to different regions, but the price fluctuation will not be lower than 70% of the physical CD."
At the same time, he called on everyone to buy the genuine version. He said that this great and epoch-making album embodies the efforts of every staff member.
When asked by reporters about the story behind the record recording, Morrison replied: "Some behind-the-scenes footage of the recording will be posted on the DG official website later. Please stay tuned."
the other side.
Qin Jian arrived at the signing hall accompanied by security personnel.
The third phase of the press conference begins.
At the book signing meeting, while Qin Jian gained happiness, he also did not forget to try to interact with the enthusiastic German fans in German.
In this process, he finally realized the joy of becoming a "music historian".
For nothing else.
Just to master this skill in voice, if he was given another chance, he would definitely choose this advanced profession without hesitation.
But the premise is that he must know the other two professions and the professional skills of the other two professions in advance.
The record conference officially ended at 17:20.
In the evening, Qin Jian had dinner with a group of dealers again, and then left the Huashang Building and took a bus to Hamburg TV to participate in an exclusive interview for a program.
Also participating were Astor, who was responsible for recording the record, Morrison, the record publisher, and Paul, a total of four people.
Along the way, except Paul, the other two people were surprised by Qin Jian's spoken German.
Through Ya Da and Qi La, they learned that Qin Jian had made great achievements in the German language. For geniuses, music and language are the same. There is nothing that cannot be introduced.
It's just a matter of accent.
"Have you taken any miraculous medicine?" Astor asked Qin Jian seriously.
Qin Jian replied seriously: "That's right."
Yes, everything went smoothly.
In addition to the tattoo on his hand, Qin Jian lowered his head again and scanned the values on the back of his hand, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

At the same time, it was already three o'clock in the morning in Yanjing on January 29th, and the stage lights in Hall No. 1 were still bright.
moment.
Ma Peng was in an extremely excited state: "Attention everyone, one last time!"
There are still ten days until the Spring Festival Gala.
