Hearing such remarks, Qin Jian smiled unconvincingly.
"I think so."
This smile convinced Bachman that Qin Jian should already know something about Langton, and she took it for granted that Duan Ran had told him some of the actual situation.
So she only reminded: "He can be very wordy occasionally."
Qin Jian nodded: "All serious and responsible teachers will do this. By the way, Professor, where does Mr. Langton usually have his classes? I want to go see him in the afternoon. Do I need to make an appointment half a day in advance?"
Just then, the office door rang.
Bachmann was surprised by Qin Jian's question. Could it be that Duan Ran didn't tell Qin Jian this?
A pair of strange young people.
Regardless of her identity as a teacher or her sensitivity as a woman, she believed that she should not pry into the gossip among young people.
moment.
"He is only in Classroom 6 of the Keyboard Department on weekdays." Bachman answered Qin Jian's doubts with a smile.
As Duan Ran entered the door, the conversation between the two stopped.
——
After finishing the registration, Qin Jian thanked Bachman for providing them with a warm residence, and then took Duan Ran away.
Before leaving, Duan Ran said goodbye to the other party, "Goodbye Professor."
——
The next step is to officially go to school.
On the way back to the apartment, Qin Jian looked at the class schedule on his phone and compared it with Duan Ran.
Judging from the course arrangement alone, Duan Ran is obviously much more leisurely than Qin Jian this semester.
In addition to some basic professional courses, Qin Jian's courses also included some courses that he had never been exposed to in China.
For example, Koch’s Art Semiotics and Kemps’s History of Western Art.
The actual situation is that although Duan Ran does not have many classes this semester, she still needs to prepare for two solo concerts.
In this way, both of them will not be too busy this semester, especially after entering the summer, there will be a series of off-campus activities waiting for them.
Back at the apartment, the two made a simple lunch together.
During the meal period, Ran told Qin Jian that she would take professional classes in the afternoon and asked what arrangements she had made:
"Would you like to stay at home and rest, or go see the teacher?"
Because he was too tired last night, Qin Jian really wanted to take a nap: "What time will you leave?"
Duan Ran: "I have to leave at two o'clock."
Qin Jian calculated the time and found that he could still sleep for an hour and a half: "I'll sleep for a while and let's go together. You call me at half past one."
"Why don't you just rest today." Duan Ran said with concern, "Anyway, you already met last night, so there's no need to worry about this afternoon."
"Um?"
Qin Jian was confused, "I've never seen him."
"ah?"
Duan Ran was even more confused, "Didn't you tell me that you chatted with Mr. Koch backstage for a while yesterday?"
Qin Jian put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "I didn't choose him as my mentor."
"ah?"
This answer never occurred to Duan Ran. Ever since they heard Adams' third round match at the Chopin Competition, she would hear Qin Jianti Koch's name all the time.
So much so that she later acquiesced that she would choose him as his tutor when he came to Vienna. She could see that Qin Jian was quite interested in the "asymmetrical playing method".
This is not to blame Duan Ran, Qin Jian has always been obsessed with various piano playing techniques.
But now she suddenly learned that the other party did not choose Koch as a professional mentor, she was naturally surprised.
"Then which professor did you fill in when applying for early admission?"
"Joseph Langton."
Qin Jian told the full name of his tutor, and then explained, "Professor Langton may not be as famous as other piano professors in the college, but he has read a book written by him, which tells the history of the development of piano and orchestra in ancient and modern times.
Yes, I agree with some of his views, and I think he..."
Qin Jian couldn't help but stop as he spoke.
Because Duan Ran's expression is really strange.
"Is there any problem?" he asked confused.
"Ha ha ha ha----"
Duan Ran burst out laughing, "You actually chose him."
"?"
Seeing Duan Ran smiling so happily, Qin Jian also laughed, and then said out of pure curiosity, "Isn't it possible? In my opinion, his academic insights are no worse than those of today's masters."
Duan Ran laughed for a while longer before stopping.
Then he patted his heaving chest and said, "Yes, yes, of course, that's what Teacher Rigel said."
This makes Qin Jian even more strange. Although the two people have not communicated before about choosing a teacher to study abroad, there is not any unequal information gap, right?
"Did you know that Langton can't play the piano?" Duan Ran spoke again.
"Well."
Qin Jian naturally knew this, which was also an important reason why he wavered before the question of "Koch or Langton".
All information shows that Langton is a person who cannot play the piano.
“Not being able to play the piano doesn’t mean you can’t teach.”
Qin Jian said something that was slightly against his will. If this statement were made outside the circle, someone would definitely spit on him.
But he also knew why he chose Langton. He chose Langton not in the hope of making any breakthroughs in his playing techniques.
If a player's playing skills are measured by height, then after the skills reach a certain height, what supports this height is the width of the player.
And this breadth covers all aspects, such as art semiotics, Western art history, and even classic subjects such as classical literature and Western philosophy.
The importance of these subjects to a performer cannot be underestimated. They are all spiritual nutrients that can enrich and arm his brain.
Usually piano professors will not be involved in many subject areas in their lifetime, but Langton is such a piano teacher who combines various subjects.
Even though he really doesn't know how to play the piano.
From Langton's words, Qin Jian saw many extremely imaginative things, which were musical images that he couldn't help but want to explore in depth.
And going back further, Langton's piano teacher was not someone who couldn't play the piano.
"Do you know Nikluger?" Qin Jian asked.
"Of course, Niklug is a student of Semal, and Semal's teacher is Miaki, who is a student of Liszt."
Duan Ran raised his chin and answered the question clearly.
This made Qin Jian stunned. The scene he was expecting was Duan Ran shaking his head in confusion, and then he would write a book about Langton's inheritance.
Fortunately, it was him who asked the question, and now he had nothing to say.
He really couldn't understand how Duan Ran knew this section so clearly. He spent a lot of time and energy looking up this information.
It also includes the information about Miaki that he bought in the Anecdote Hall for 5,000 adoration points.
The atmosphere in the dining room fell into a brief deadlock.
moment
"Okay, so what are you laughing at?"
Qin Jian admitted defeat and the topic returned to the beginning.
"Can't I choose Langton?"
Duan Ran couldn't help but smile again, "I said, of course."
Then, she put away her smile and coughed seriously.
"Welcome to join, my little junior brother~"
——
"what's the situation?!"
"From now on, you have to call me senior sister, in a kissy way."
