After listening to Duan Ran's words again, the two of them came to the practice room after a simple meal

However, he didn't practice for a long time tonight, and Qin Jian spent more time meditating.

He thinks it's meditation, but it's actually thinking.

Unaffected by the fatigue of the past few days, by the time the last recording day came, the turbulence in his heart that had been a few days ago had turned into a calm.

Recording is a chore, and it is rare for the average performer to record a set of works in a short period of time.

Most of them are recording a large work by a particular composer, and adding one or two smaller works.

A three-movement sonata is no small work for a classical piano repertoire, and a concerto is no less difficult to record than a symphony.

Let's take a look at Qin Jian's list of recording tracks.

Three concertos, three sonatas, two two-piano and four-hand ensembles.

The remuneration received is worthless in the face of such a huge list.

Qin Jian really doesn't care, he only cares if this set of Mozart works can be recorded and whether he can be satisfied.

As a set of records tailored for him, there is no doubt that the most favored track by major officials is K491.

K491 can be said to be the main work and selling point of this set of records.

After all, with this K491, he finally won the championship.

So in the performance design of the recorded tracks, K491 followed the playing style on the field.

This is also a practice that caters to the market to a certain extent.

But his ambitions and ideas don't stop there, he knows that there is much more to Mozart's vast piano repertoire that deserves to be explored.

For example, he arranged K466 to be recorded in the last song.

There are countless claims about the Piano Concerto in D minor, K466, the most popular of which is that "it is both a work of art and a myth." ”

The historical importance of K466 lies in the fact that it belongs to the compositions that most musicians consider to be the supreme composer of the decade following Mozart's death.

It represents Mozart, considered the greatest romantic composer of all generations, and it was this work that relegated Haydn to the background for a century.

It is a concerto for which Beethoven played and wrote cadenzas.

It is a work that fully embodies the elements of Mozart's 19th-century appointing of the 'man and god' that have long made it difficult for posterity to give a fair appraisal of his other works.

Every time he thought about it, Qin Jian always felt that Mozart, who was already only a piece of paper away from him, was as far away as if he was on both sides of the sea.

Long.

"Listening to this work is like listening to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, and sometimes it's hard to tell whether one is listening to the work itself or its prestige. ”

Qin Jian muttered to the piano, as if talking to himself.

Duan Ran looked up when he heard the sound.

Moment.

She put down the book in her hand, got up and walked behind Qin Jian, her body gently pressed against his back, and bent down to his ear: "What's wrong?"

Feeling the warmth coming from behind him, Qin Jian raised his hand and grabbed the left hand that was on his shoulder, gently rubbing the little finger with a severely bulging joint.

"It's okay, it's just a little confused," Qin Jian smiled, "I want to go to Salzburg to have a look." ”

Duan Ran let Qin Jian play with his deformed little finger, "Mozart's hometown?"

Qin Jian nodded, "Hmm." ”

Duan Ran's heart moved, "When?"

"I'm still thinking about it. Patting the back of Duan Ran's hand, Qin Jian said, "Okay, let's go, let's stop here today." ”

"Got your form tomorrow?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then you wait for me," said Duan Ran, who quickly walked to the pear blossom grand piano and sat down, "Let me play for a while." ”

It can be seen that Duan Ran really likes this piano.

Just thinking about it, the moment the delicate rhythm of the piano started, Qin Jian couldn't help but be stunned.

Then my eyes lit up.

In the hall, the elegant sound of the piano is like a waltz dance step, light and agile.

Not Chopin, not Liszt, not Beethoven Mozart.

Duan Ran is playing a jazz song, a light jazz song.

Qin Jian couldn't help but walk towards her, he had never thought of Duan Ran's appearance as a jazz.

Different from playing classical, her expression and her hands just show the small emotions in the syncopated tones.

As if sensing Qin Jian coming over, Duan Ran turned his head.

She habitually bit her lower lip.

Just the next second.

She gently delivered a playful 'wink', like a small ornamental trill under her finger, full of little teasing.

Turning back, her left hand rises high and falls, a modulation chord, and the music changes again.

The silence was maintained at a distance of two meters, until the music stopped gently at a detour.

It's unsatisfying.

Applause, Qin Jian walked to the piano.

"Is this your adaptation?" Qin Jian swore he had never heard such a melody in any music segment.

Duan Ran shook his head and smiled, and said, "This is what I played blindly. ”

"Wow. Qin Jian exclaimed, "Then I think it should have a name." ”

"Hmm-"

Duan Ran thought for a moment, "Just call it "13". ”

"Huh, what does this mean?" Qin Jian was puzzled.

Duan Ran got up and slowly buckled the lid of the pear flower piano, and gently dusted off the lid.

"Guess what. ”

...

...

Qin Jian guessed all the way, but he didn't guess right all the way.

But he was more interested in the melody than by guessing the numbers.

Guessed all the way, hummed all the way.

"Good night. ”

"Good dreams. ”

Nothing was said all night.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Qin Jian stepped into the orchestral studio of AirStudios on time again.

At this time, all the orchestra members and staff in the studio, including the conductor, were ready with headphones.

Sitting down in front of the piano and adjusting it slightly.

Qin Jian nodded at Astor and Sayavi.

You're all set.

With a wave of Sayewi's big hand, the string group moved, and it was magnificent.

At the beginning of the opening section, the first movement, once an orchestra has accepted that the soloist is the only dramatic role in the work, they will involuntarily develop their musical part around the soloist.

This is also what Qin Jian and Sayevi have discussed before on the recording of K466 - this work will be carried out completely in accordance with Qin Jian's will.

So in a way, the whole section of the band at the beginning always has a certain introductory atmosphere.

Writers often use this technique in storytelling – to foreshadow what is to come.

If the story is short, then in music the problem naturally disappears.

But in a long masterpiece like K466, which has nearly half an hour, it is obvious that the first two minutes and ten seconds of the band clip are particularly important.

It is important to ensure that the reader does not lose a sense of urgency in the foreshadowing of the story, and at the same time to ensure that they understand the beginning of the story.

...

...

A break in a rehearsal on a certain day.

"Conducted by Sayavi, the orchestra was able to bring out the emotions from the very beginning. ”

"You mean like a symphony of fate?"

"K466 is a symphony. ”
