The dropped spoon paused the progress of the meal.
Music has no national boundaries, and what Yegor wanted to express sounded obvious to Qin Jian.
The non-preaching tone makes it sound a little profound.
The other party not only skipped the focus of his words, but also cleverly used his sentence structure to make the topic go in another direction.
The two changes in the atmosphere here forced Qin Jian to consider how to deal with the next situation.
He certainly wouldn't mind discussing the national boundaries of music with a learned teacher on an afternoon like this.
But before that, he was very clear about the purpose of his trip, and he didn't have much time.
moment.
"You are right, music has no national boundaries, but copyright always needs to be protected."
Qin Jian continued, "Do you agree with this?"
The topic continued to return to the copyright issue, and Yegor could not deny it. However, when Qin Jian mentioned that music has no national boundaries, Yegor smiled.
To Qin Jian, this smile seemed like an opening of the door.
"So I hope to get your permission." He expressed his wishes again.
It's just that Qin Jian may have made assumptions, and then Yegor seemed unwilling to say anything more on this topic and stopped asking Qin Jian questions.
"Let me think about this matter again."
——
On the way back to the hotel, Qin Jian called Zhou Kai, and the two of them confirmed the specific time for the afternoon rehearsal.
Before hanging up the phone, Zhou Kai asked him how his day was going, and he replied that it was okay.
At least compared to yesterday's failure, today Yegor has replied that he will consider it.
But Qin Jian didn't know how long the consideration period would be.
"It seems like this trip won't go well."
There were still five days left, and Qin Jian was wondering if he would suddenly receive a call from the other party at some point.
...
The rehearsal in the afternoon went extremely smoothly, and the original two-hour rehearsal ended in only one and a half hours.
The veteran student symphony orchestra of Chai Yuan has a strength that is not inferior to that of Asia's first-class orchestras, and is particularly outstanding in the collaborative performance of works from the Romantic period.
Qin Jian had only heard about it before, but today he tried it by himself. During the rehearsal process, whenever he asked, the orchestra could basically guarantee that the effect he wanted would be achieved after only one repetition.
On the one hand, this is due to the strong strength of the school itself and its historical foundation.
Ruggiero also gave another reason for Qin Jian's high praise for the Chaiyuan Symphony Orchestra.
“The school has always placed more emphasis on orchestral music than traditional piano and vocal music.”
During the communication with individual orchestra members after the rehearsal, Qin Jian learned that the orchestra visited many countries every year to perform, and the school often invited some world-class performers to collaborate with them on the same stage.
A cellist from Israel told Qin Jian that not only would they get credits for participating in rehearsals, but they would also earn high subsidies...
Qin Jian lamented that he was worthy of the rich and powerful Chai Yuan.
Come to think of it, only by investing so much energy and money was Chai Yuan able to create such a running student orchestra that is online all year round.
Qin Jian asked the other party if he would like to stay in Moscow and continue working in a professional orchestra after graduation.
The other party replied that he would be very happy if he could be selected by a professional band.
He also told Qin Jian that there are many professional orchestras in Moscow, and the salaries are generally very high. Except for those graduates with excellent majors, many of the remaining ones are willing to stay in Moscow after graduation.
This also made Qin Jian couldn't help but think of the future of his band. Good opportunities are the best guarantee for retaining talents.
——
Qin Jian did not go to the Negroz Conservatory of Music the next day. In the morning, he went to Chaiyuan Publishing House to submit his publishing plan.
He can wait for Yegor, and he doesn't want to delay the publishing process.
The planning proposal was written for him by Liao Linjun, which explained in detail the ins and outs of Qin Jian's intention to introduce the book "The Development and History of the Russian Piano" into China for translation and publication.
It includes the Chinese version's graphic introduction and table of contents, as well as a sample chapter translation of about 3,000 words.
With Dorofia's advance care, the staff quickly filed Qin Jian's application.
When leaving the publishing house, the staff member in charge sent Qin Jian to the gate and told him that the approval documents would be available in about three working days.
"Thanks."
Qin Jian reached out and shook hands with the staff.
Then he got into the car waiting on the street and left under the watch of the staff.
On the car.
"Brother Zhou, take me to Revolution Square. I want to buy something."
...
The two arrived at Revolution Square, and Qin Jian came to the door of the record store where he had once walked, and saw that the Rachmaninoff record on the window was still there.
Then he walked into the store and left ten minutes later with five records.
There are two Beethoven Piano Concertos No. 5, one is the version performed by Schnabel with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1951, and the other is the version performed by his idol Pollini with the conductor Abbado.
The former is recognized as an authoritative work, and the latter he heard the digital recording version and thought it was very original, especially Pollini's treatment of the second movement, which directly touched his heart.
The other three pieces are all works by Rachmaninov, and the performers are Horowitz and two performers who are not very famous, but their abilities are not comparable to those of the great masters.
After a short shopping trip, Qin Jian returned to the hotel and took a short rest before continuing to the rehearsal hall.
Based on yesterday's rehearsal, today's rehearsal was even smoother.
Just once, once, you will succeed, and then it will be over.
Ruggiero ordered the orchestra to gather at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and then everyone in the orchestra left.
From then until eight o'clock in the evening, the empty main music hall of Chaiyuan became Qin Jian's private playground.
He sat in the seat for tomorrow night's concert and played Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, and even played Liszt's "The Hunt" at the end.
The sonorous and powerful majestic momentum almost overturns the entire stage.
At the end of the performance, Zhou Kai applauded from the audience.
Qin Jian stood up and bowed to the only audience with a smile.
Zhou Kai had almost never heard Qin Jian play Liszt's works. As a communication with colleagues, on the way to send Qin Jian back to the hotel, Zhou Kai asked Qin Jian about his experience in practicing Liszt.
Qin Jian has no experience with this, "I haven't practiced Liszt much, but as the most authoritative alchemy stone for measuring technical growth, I will find some fragments of Liszt's works to test my fingers at every stage."
This was probably the first time Zhou Kai heard someone use Liszt's works in this way. After hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh at the gap between people, "How many Liszt works have you mastered now?"
Qin Jian thought for a while and said, "There are about ten pieces of it, but they can't be called complete."
Not complete?
Zhou Kai really wanted to continue asking if the hunting song like Qin Jian's song just now was also considered incomplete.
If so, then he really has nothing to say.
The two of them chatted about Liszt's works all the way to the hotel door, "Do you have any special needs for tomorrow's concert? I can prepare it in advance?"
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. There is nothing to prepare. Besides, you don't have to accompany me tomorrow. You can just pick me up at the door of the hotel at six o'clock in the afternoon."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Kai, Qin Jian returned to the hotel and called Duan Ran, who was practicing piano.
The two chatted for less than ten minutes before hanging up the phone. Then he asked Fang Xiaoyu about his piano practice in the past two days. Fang Xiaoyu replied that the winter wind was almost gone.
This really gave him a taste, and he asked Fang Xiaoyu to record a video for him tomorrow.
It was approaching nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Jian thought about sending a message to Yegor.
No matter what Yegor would think about or had thought about, considering the identity of the host of tomorrow's concert, he decided that it would be better to take the initiative to send an invitation.
"Professor Yegor, tomorrow night at 19:30, I will hold my first piano recital in Russia at the Concert Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music. You are welcome to come."
No matter what Yegor would consider or had considered, considering the identity of the host of tomorrow's concert, he decided that it would be better to take the initiative and send out an invitation.
