Qin Jian originally wanted to find a clean place to sit with Shen Qingci alone and have a meal along the way.

He just wanted to say one thing about last night's dumplings and today's noon soup: count the balls.

As a result, Natsuki heard it and wanted to follow, and this Natsuki wanted to follow.

This He Jing finally saw Qin Jian once, and naturally wanted to stay with the other party for a while.

Conductor Cai didn't bring the orchestra this time, he was alone, and he originally planned to talk to Qin Jian about the opening ceremony just now.

Coupled with a few people from the piano department of Huaguo Academy, everyone got together.

At this time, it was already dark, and under the guidance of Shen Qingci, everyone walked out of the gate of the academy, walked down for about five minutes, and came across the road from the nameless tombstone in Revolution Square.

"Wow, that's beautiful. Natsuki said.

Everyone stopped, and many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Shen Qingci introduced: "Revolution Square is named after the victory of the October Revolution, and it is also the most famous attraction in Moscow. ”

"Teacher Shen, who is that statue in the center of the square?" a boy asked.

Karl Marx. ”

Looking at the statue of Colmacos in the center of the square and feeling the historical precipitation brought about by the victory of the October Revolution, Qin Jian couldn't help but think of the words he translated on the bus in the morning.

I felt a sigh in my heart.

On the left side of the road, there were many small merchants and vendors selling souvenirs, Qin Jian looked around, and finally bought a map.

"It's a souvenir. ”

The moment he looked up, his eyes suddenly fell on a window full of records.

Approach.

It's a classical record store.

The large and small CD covers are dazzling, and it is easy for passing tourists to see them.

In front of the window, he can clearly see the works of musicians from all periods.

A record cover of Rachmaninoff's own performance of four piano concertos caught his eye.

On the cover, the aged Rahe sits quietly, his deep and focused gaze as if staring into the distance.

Following his gaze, the Revolution Square was through the window.

"After decades of exile, this is also a kind of return to the homeland. Qin Jian said with emotion in his heart.

"What's wrong?" He Jing asked softly as he came to his side.

Following Qin Jian's gaze, she also saw this record.

moment

"Do you like it?"

Qin Jian nodded.

Then He Jing was about to enter the store.

The next second.

Qin Jian grabbed her, "Forget it, sister, I'm in a hurry today." ”

He Jing hesitated for a moment, she felt that it didn't take much time to buy a record, but since the other party said it, then forget it today, but she has already memorized this record.

"Okay. ”

The two sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, and Qin Jian grabbed He Jing's arm.

"By the way, sister, what are you going to play at Eastman's concert?"

"Guess. ”

"Rabi?"

"Guess again. ”

The two siblings laughed and turned to leave.

In the window behind him, the elder Rach's gaze continued to be focused, even though there were no pigeons in the square in winter.

...

In the end, no one knew if Qin Jian guessed correctly or not, but when the sister and brother had just caught up with the big army, Shen Qingci stopped.

"Today I have a treat. ”

He said and led everyone into a Chinese restaurant.

The owners of the Chinese restaurant are a middle-aged Chinese couple who treat everyone as tourists.

The boss greeted him with a good life, and while serving the food, the proprietress chatted with a few young girls and boys about the problem of tourist routes.

It can be seen that everyone's enthusiasm for tourism is very high.

Qin Jian and Shen Qingci drank wine and chatted.

His first question was about – Gordon Wieser.

Shen Qingci didn't answer his question immediately, but asked him if he had any other questions.

Then Qin Jian raised the second question, about the four major teaching and research departments of the Russian piano.

Shen Qingci still didn't answer him, and continued to ask him if he had any other questions.

Qin Jian thought about it this time, he felt that he still had questions, but if the other party didn't explain these two points to him clearly, he wouldn't know how to ask the rest of his questions.

"Not for the time being. ”

Shen Qingci put down his wine glass and lit a cigarette.

Moment.

"Qin Jian, do you know how much the average share of the first place in the world's major competitions is for Russian pianists throughout the twentieth century?"

"The major competitions include?" Qin Jian needed to be exact.

Shen Qingci: "Chopin International Piano Competition, Tchaikovsky National Music Competition, Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels, Belgium. ”

Qin Jian thought about it for a while, he still knew something about these three most famous competitions in the piano world

After about five or six seconds, he asked, "A third?"

He didn't know exactly how many first places the Russians had won, but he knew that the Russians had won a lot of first places, so a third should not be a small one.

It's just that Shen Qingci shook his head and gave an answer that surprised him.

"More than 45 percent. ”

As if he was very satisfied with Qin Jian's reaction, Shen Qingci continued to say: "The main reason why the Russian piano can produce top pianists is that it depends on their 'soil' and 'gardener'. ”

The soil naturally refers to the Russian mainland, that gardener...

Qin Jian suddenly thought of something: "Does the gardener refer to the four major teaching and research departments?"

Shen Qingci sighed: "Not exactly, but it's almost the same." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The fact that the art of the Russian piano is unique and enduring is indeed due to the four departments that surround the Russian Piano Center. ”

"The so-called four major teaching and research departments actually refer to the four major piano instructors of the Russian school in history. ”

After the October Revolution, Russian piano education entered an unprecedented period of prosperity, following Rachmaninov, Skoryabin, Buzzoni, Doyle, and Puhar, they carried the whole banner of Russian piano. ”

And then it swept the entire European piano scene in 30 years. ”

"In the end, they became their own schools and passed them on from generation to generation - there are today's four major teaching and research departments. ”

Although there were some names that Qin Jian had never heard of at all, he was inexplicably excited when he heard them, "Does that mean that Gordon Wieser is also one of the mentors?"

Shen Qingci nodded: "Negaoz, Imgunov, Feinberg, Gordon Wieser." ”

Shen Qingci extinguished his cigarette butt, "Forget the words of that German today, your performance is not the same thing as the Gordon Weeser School at all." ”

“... Belch... I know. Qin Jian was a little embarrassed, "Wait a minute, Mr. Shen, I want to do it again."

Shen Qingci waved his hand, "I can't finish asking questions, let's finish tonight's Perlman concert first."

As he spoke, he beckoned a few people who had a lively chat to come over for dinner.

Then he turned his head back to look at Qin Jian, and said with deep meaning, "I forgot to tell you." ”

"Horowitz's most important teacher is called Blumenfeld. ”

"Blumenfeld's teacher was Niegoz. ”

...

"Eat, eat!"

Nirgaoz, the head of the four major schools.
