After the lazy king Handel, Serling also put on a big hat for Haydn at the beginning of today's class - hard-working Haydn.
Regarding Haydn's diligence, no one should doubt this.
If a composer who spends his whole life diligently writing 5 masses, 12 operas, 30 piano sonatas, 40 quartets, and 100 symphonies is not considered diligent.
So throughout the history of Western music, is there any other composer who dares to say he is dedicated to his duties?
A composer's natural mission is to create music.
Unfortunately, most of Haydn's works have not been widely circulated.
"It's no wonder he is."
Serling defended Haydn and said, "Imagine that women and young ladies wear fragrant wigs and strangle corsets all day long, with incense fans in one hand and smelling salts in the other." They are always ready to fake a faint. How could Haydn do it?
Has it changed their taste?"
Haydn's status as the royal court music director destined that his large number of creations could not be established in his own catalog of works before 1765.
Most of the works were only performed in front of the princes and nobles, and no one paid attention to them after that.
What Serin mentioned is almost the same as what Qin Jian learned in space.
Haydn's unpublished works were finally discovered by people after his final rest, but unfortunately it was already approaching the time when romantic music emerged.
Before get out of class ended, Serin turned on the projector again.
In two short sentences, I assigned the homework for the new week and ended the class.
Qin Jian has learned from Langton that Serin will not repeat the basic knowledge of first grade in the second grade harmony class.
After recording his homework, Qin Jian left first again.
...
Tonight came the time that Qin Jian had agreed to teach Fang Xiaoyu. After dinner, Duan Ran was about to go back to the bedroom, but Qin Jian hugged him to the living room.
"Come together today and listen to it for me."
Faced with Qin Jian's invitation, Duan Ran naturally couldn't refuse.
Moreover, since she learned about Fang Xiaoyu from Qin Jian last week, although she has never met her, she thinks she is a good girl.
"Am I going to be the assistant coach again tonight?"
Duan Ran's joking tone seemed to be secretly reminding Qin Jian of a pleasant night. In exchange, Qin Jian pretended to widen his eyes and said, "Be serious."
"Okay, Teacher Qin, where should I sit?"
"Just sit next to me."
"Would this scare her?"
"Do not worry."
So Duan Ran obediently came to Qin Jian's side.
After a while, Qin Jian took the time to send the video call.
Then the phone was dialed, and two seconds later the scene of Xiaoyu Yan sitting and waiting appeared in front of the two of them.
Fang Xiaoyu at the other end of the video did not disappoint Qin Jian when he saw the two people appearing at the same time in the mobile phone screen.
"Good evening, master."
"Good evening, Teacher Duan."
She greeted the two of them politely.
Qin Jian nodded An Yi, while Duan Ran waved to the camera kindly, "Good evening, Xiaoyu."
For a time, the atmosphere between the two parties was extremely harmonious.
After a few words of introductory remarks that were hardly pleasantries, Qin Jian asked Fang Xiaoyu to start.
Then the soft melody immediately reminded me of the shepherd boy's piccolo played by Fang Xiaoyu at both ends of the earth. It was a new Chopin etude that Qin Jian arranged for her last week after Dongfeng.
At the same time, Qin Jian also arranged her first Liszt work, s.212a, a simple waltz.
After Fang Xiaoyu played the shepherd boy's piccolo, Qin Jian pointed out two fingering problems and the music processing of three consecutive measures, and demonstrated it on b211.
Fang Xiaoyu wrote down these questions, and then played the second piece of homework at Qin Jian's instruction.
s.212a, in the kaleidoscope-like world of Liszt’s piano works, this piece is really not worth mentioning.
However, for Fang Xiaoyu, this piece is the first Liszt piece she has come into contact with, and in front of Teacher Duan, she has to be more cautious.
Fang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, then started playing
The moment the first set of melodies started with pianissimo, Duan Ran's expression showed a little surprise.
This starting sentence was all too familiar to her.
...
The performance ended in less than a minute and a half, and Fang Xiaoyu stopped.
But when she raised her head, she was shocked to find that the master in the video had disappeared, leaving only Teacher Duan smiling.
It was really good-looking, but Fang Xiaoyu started to get nervous. Who knows, when she connected to the video just now, she almost shouted, "Master Duan."
Fortunately, her brain reaction was pretty quick at the time.
At this moment she was waiting nervously.
"Good to hear."
Duan Ran first gave a positive evaluation, "The sentences are clear and full of emotions."
Fang Xiaoyu was very happy to hear such comments, "Thank you, Teacher Duan!"
Duan Ran hesitated for a moment, "You are playing the version compiled by Busoni, right?"
Fang Xiaoyu replied, "Yes, Teacher Duan, Teacher Shen gave me the score."
Duan Ran nodded and said for a moment, "Xiaoyu, can I see the cover of your score?"
Fang Xiaoyu immediately picked up the music score and faced the camera. When Duan Ran saw the cover of the music score wrapped in an old pink book cover, the doubts in his heart turned into a flash of memories.
Sure enough.
moment.
"Listen to me and play."
As she spoke, Duan Ran put away her smile, raised her hand and immediately started playing her s.212a with a weaker and clearer starting sentence.
For the same melody, if Fang Xiaoyu's performance is gorgeous, then Duan Ran's performance seems to have taken away the gorgeousness, leaving only simple but grainy notes, constructing a world that is different from the traditional Liszt piano world.
Pure space.
Wave after wave of rotating triplets revolved around a simple theme. It was such a simple theme, but it made Fang Xiaoyu feel ashamed of himself.
How did Teacher Duan do it?
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask in his mind.
At 1 minute and 14 seconds, Duan Ran put away his hands.
"You need to pay attention to one issue here. The last beat of the sixteenth measure cannot be treated as a slowdown, although the speed here will indeed slow down a bit."
"How to describe it."
It is true that Duan Ran has never been a teacher, and she cannot organize the language as accurately as Qin Jian.
moment.
"You can imagine them as a few well-fed people walking, but you have to pay attention to the fact that the speed of their feet remains unchanged. It's just that their movements look a little slow, that's all."
Fang Xiaoyu seemed to understand something immediately after hearing this description, "Teacher Duan, can I give it a try?"
Duan Ran was still worried that he had not explained clearly. After hearing what Fang Xiaoyu said, he hurriedly said, "Okay, you give it a try."
Fang Xiaoyu entered from the 12th bar and reached the end of the 15th bar, and the music changed.
The originally deft downward movement slowly became dull, but the basic speed was still maintained at the previous speed.
——
Under the entrance hall between the living room and the corridor, Teacher Qin, who was leaning against the wall and holding a beer, couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
“I can explain free speed in such a visual way.”
he sighed.
What's even more rare is that Fang Xiaoyu actually understood.
