Chapter 245: Encore
While everyone was envious and congratulating 306, Li Yingzhen quickly told Yang Jingxing: "Wait for you to play it yourself." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Xin Ting can do it." ”
Li Yingzhen didn't want to shake her head in a wordy way.
I feel that the meeting was presided over by Ding Sangpeng, and the old gentleman said that the development of folk music depends on the joint efforts of everyone, and emphasized that development should be based on inheritance, and there can be no development without inheritance. Since it depends on everyone's joint efforts, Ding Sangpeng wants to hear more voices, and hopes that all the students who are here today will speak enthusiastically.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and raised their hands to fight for the opportunity. Someone is a genius, and other students are not stupid, and they can say a lot of what they want to say, and it all sounds reasonable.
Xu Xuesi also got the opportunity, he said: "My name is Xu Xuesi, and I am in the same class as Yang Jingxing, we are friends, and we usually have more contact, so I know him better." Although the teacher said that Yang Jingxing relied on hard work, and he was indeed very hardworking, I believe that many people have the same idea as me, that is, Yang Jingxing is a special case, whether it is in the piano department or the composition department. I don't want to be presumptuous, but Yang Jingxing's performance has always been not on the same level as most of us. So I would like to ask all the teachers and seniors, how should ordinary students like us adjust our direction according to the actual situation, and what kind of goals are realistic?"
The principal replied first: "One thing I am sure of is that the teachers in the school are equally serious and responsible for all students in the teaching process. ”
Many students nodded in agreement.
The principal continued, "In today's meeting, we are not only discussing Yang Jingxing and 306. Mr. Ding, like all of us, attaches great importance to the ideas and understandings of each student, and everyone feels it. Yang Jingxing is an example, but I don't think he's a special case. Our teachers attach equal importance to all students, today it is Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo, tomorrow it may be you. Even in the composition department or the piano department, Yang Jingxing has never stood out because every student in each of our majors is excellent......"
The principal gave some examples, starting from Yang Jingxing's efforts in the Conservatory of Music, and what achievements those students have made, even in the composition department and piano department, there are many more!
The principal said: "The school hopes that everyone will learn like Yang Jingxing, learn from his efforts and attitude, which you can all learn, there is no difficulty and no harm." If you think that Yang Jingxing is different from you, then you have lost to yourself, not him!
I know that the freshmen of the composition department are working hard, and they are active in learning, and they often take the initiative to discuss problems with the teachers, and the teachers are also very happy. This shows that Yang Jingxing has played a positive role, and it shows that everyone believes that what he has done through hard work, you can also do it, and our teachers also believe in this!"
Everyone applauded!
Ding Sangpeng continued: "The principal's meaning is very clear, you don't need to be on par with Yang Jingxing. It doesn't have to be that he has any works that have been praised, everyone thinks it is good, so they write such works. Everyone has their own strengths, and what you can create, Yang Jingxing may not be able to. Wang Luobin's song is something I can't write anyway. ”
After the experts continued to answer students' questions for a while, Ding Sangpeng began to take the people on the stage to summarize today's meeting and look forward to the development of national music.
After the principal encouraged the students to work hard, he said that it was not too early, but today is a rare opportunity, and Puyin should also thank all the distinguished guests with practical actions.
After speaking, the principal got up to help Ding Sangpeng, and Tang Qing and the others also stood up. It seemed that they were ready to leave, and everyone applauded again.
He Hongchui and Li Yingzhen also got up and beckoned everyone to go back, and the first row was about to be given to the big guys. Alas, all kinds of arrangements were not good, Yang Jingxing and they could only sit down in the tenth row, and Li Yingzhen asked Yu Xinting to change to Yang Jingxing's side.
The people on the rostrum came down and sat in the first row, and the staff quickly moved the tables and chairs on the stage, and pushed the piano out.
The host took the stage again, and after a burst of thanks and exclamations, he began to introduce in more detail the first of the programs that had just been organized improvised, a female graduate student singing a folk song composed by a teacher.
The singer went directly from the backstage, wearing gorgeous and ethnic costumes, but the makeup on his face was not very good, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry.
Fortunately, the singing skills are good, and the songs are also good. The song is not very new, and it won the grand prize at the composition competition two years ago. Although it can't be compared with Wang Luobin's, for those who have just sat in the first row, this kind of artistic song and singing should be much better than Cheng Yaoyao's "Promise of Mood".
After the singer was reluctant to take a curtain call, the host took the stage again to introduce the second program, the erhu solo piece, and the composer and performance were all Liu Siman and Shao Fangjie's senior brothers. A piece that is very heavy on inheritance and light on development, the composition and performance are good, and the talent on the stage has won many more awards than Yang Jingxing, and it is said that he disdains to enter the National Youth National Orchestra!
However, the song is only four minutes, and then there is the third program, the piano trumpet ensemble "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" composed by Yang Jingxing, who is played and whom, respectively, is the teacher's students......
The two performance students came to the stage, the boys were not as tall and handsome as Yang Jingxing, and the girls were not as beautiful and moving as the leaders of 306, but they played very well, delicate and moving, and expressed the beautiful melody of the original song and the slightly petty but rich and touching emotions very well.
The music ended in a canon-style lingering, everyone applauded warmly, and Yang Jingxing also contributed a little.
According to Ding Sangpeng's instructions, the principal told the two performers not to leave the stage in a hurry: "Tell me what you think of this work. ”
The men and women on the stage looked at each other, and the girls spoke first: "I think this is a work with a soul, it expresses the joy and sorrow of the eternal theme of love." We've been practicing this piece for a few months, but almost every time there's something new, and we're a couple, so it's easier to appreciate the emotion of the piece. ”
The girl was serious, but the boy smiled a little embarrassed, and was urged by the girl's eyes before saying: "I think this is the most special piece of Yang Jingxing's current works, whether it is the structure or the melodic line, it shows that the composer is a person full of sensuality and enthusiasm. ”
Even the blessing to the night watchman in the north building can get a round of applause, and it seems that the quality of Puyin's students is not low.
The male host took the stage again and announced: "Next, it is still Yang Jingxing's work, the third movement of the piano sonata in C sharp minor." ”
Ding Sangpeng's head was biased towards the principal, and the principal played dumb riddles to the host.
The host understood, and corrected the mistake louder: "Yang Jingxing composed, piano sonata in C sharp minor, the first to third movements, everyone welcomes Yang Jingxing!"
In the applause and a few glances, Yang Jingxing strode onto the stage, but did not go to the piano, but stood in the position of the host: "Xie Lu Xie." This sonata was written by Yu Xinting, a student from the piano department, who provided the material and helped me complete it. Some people say that music is different from language and literature, because different people can have different understandings of music, and I think it's beautiful. Although I am still far from such a realm, I still want to try it, so I would like to ask Yu Xinting to play this work, thank you. ”
There are many more people looking back at Yu Xinting than they did just looking at Yang Jingxing, and almost all of them are paying attention. Yu Xinting was expressionless and sat still.
In the sparse applause that slowly sounded, Li Yingzhen touched Yu Xinting's arm and encouraged: "Go ahead." ”
Qi Qingnuo also gave Yu Xinting a smile and applause through the empty seat: "Come on!"
Yu Xinting leaned forward, stood up slowly, and then walked in front of Qi Qingnuo and He Honghui with her head half-bowed, and continued to walk through the aisle of the audience step by step without squinting, and her arms still did not swing when she walked up the steps to the stage.
Walking to the bright lights on the stage, Yu Xinting raised her chin slightly, and then raised her gaze, even if she looked at Yang Jingxing and could look at the audience with her residual vision.
Yang Jing walked two steps to greet Yu Xinting, and after standing beside her, he continued to say to the audience: "There is another reason, that is, this sonata has just been written, and I am not familiar with it, and I am afraid of making a fool of myself. Yu Xinting began to learn the piano at the age of seven, under the tutelage of Professor Li Yingzhen, and her ability to handle new music scores is definitely better than mine, so I have worked hard, thank you. ”
Yang Jingxing also bowed to Yu Xinting, and in the sporadic laughter below, Yu Xinting smiled reluctantly, and her face became more and more red.
After being stroked by Yang Jingxing's shoulder and nudged, Yu Xinting walked to the piano bench, and Yang Jingxing whispered, "Play casually." Then he stepped down.
After Yu Xinting sat down, her arms kept on her legs, as if she couldn't lift it after being filled with lead, and her expression was gone. However, the audience was quite understanding of the necessary adjustments of the performers, and they all remained quiet and attentive.
Li Yingzhen also looked at Yu Xinting, and did not blame Yang Jingxing, who returned to his seat. Qi Qingnuo looked at Yang Jingxing and smiled, and then continued to look forward to the stage.
After making Yang Jingxing wait for almost half a minute, Yu Xinting's right hand finally raised first, and then fell gently, and her index finger touched the white key...... The first motive, as well as the extension, is just right to be simple and clean, although so many ears can hear that Yu Xinting plays a lot lighter than usual practice.
Known as Yang Jingxing's most connotative, artistic, thoughtful, and difficult to perform music works, but also the most conservative, traditional and most return to the essence of the music works, once boasted by the head of the piano department as a work with the world's world-class level, the teachers of the composition department and the piano department used it behind their backs to compare the sonatas of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.
In the first half of the first movement, Yu Xinting's expression and movements showed that she played very carefully, and the experts in the first row listened unfazed. Entering the second half, as her emotions became clearer, Yu Xinting began to be too cautious, and she couldn't be cautious. The experts also began to stretch their necks and raise their eyebrows, and Ding Sangpeng touched his thin knees with dry fingers.
After a short pause at the end of the first movement, we enter the second movement. At first, the melody was so soft that one thought it would be a sublimation and extension of the first movement, but suddenly, the rhythm of the melody changed abruptly! The perfection of the structure and technique of the piece began to unfold slowly, and the color and expressiveness immediately raised a notch...... It's almost overwhelming, and the dense notes make it impossible to savor the charm.
Playing here, Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing both heard that Yu Xinting was a lot more excited than when she practiced on weekdays, and her strength was very strong. And Yu Xinting didn't seem to care, she suddenly stopped looking at her hands and keyboard, her chin was raised, and her originally round focused eyes were now narrowed into slits, as if she was looking at the wall behind the piano. This kind of Yu Xinting has never been seen by Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing, and she usually treats art very seriously and cautiously.
With Yu Xinting's selfless fingers flying quickly and her arms shaking at a small high frequency, the backs of the audience, who had been tired after sitting all afternoon, left their chairs, as if the passionate piano melody and fierce chords were ordering them to cheer up and inject them with youthful vitality.
There is a wrong sound, two out of ten bars are wrong! But Yu Xinting herself doesn't seem to feel it, and continues to move forward bravely, and she insists on going her own way! And the delicacy in the boldness and the narrowness in the broadness that Li Yingzhen has been asking for seems to have been forgotten by Yu Xinting, this girl is now raising her head and squinting, as if she has forgotten that there is still an audience, as if she is secretly acting, playing a grand pianist with an infinitely deep love for music!
Fortunately, another sharp turn woke up Yu Xinting, she opened her eyes again, lowered her head to look at the piano, and seemed to have returned to her original appearance, but her eyes were brighter than before.
In addition to the simple and moving melody, there are also structures, techniques, colors, expressiveness, and even spirit, thoughts, and personalities, all of which are repeatedly discussed and set by the teachers when analyzing the works! Yu Xinting seems to be in chaos, she will be sober for a while and confused for a while, and her expression and posture will change and change again, although she is not to the point of madness, but she is already like two people.
Maybe Yu Xinting does have a talent for acting, and many people in the audience have been infected by her, and they are also nervous, excited, relaxed, and happy......
Yu Xinting was already wearing a lot, and as her performance skills became more and more intense, the fine sweat particles on her forehead and cheeks began to turn into big beads of sweat, and her bangs were also wet into wisps, sometimes shaking in the shaking of her head, and sometimes sticking to the door of her head.
When the music calmed down again, everyone knew that the road was almost over, and everyone began to relax. But Yu Xinting still looked very desperate, and it seemed that every time she touched the key, she used all her strength, although the popping sound was so soft that Li Yingzhen stretched her brows. In the past twenty minutes, Li Yingzhen frowned sternly most of the time.
After the last touch of the key was slowly completed, Yu Xinting's hands didn't seem to believe that she had completed the task, and she stayed for a long time before relaxing and putting it back on her lap.
The applause exploded!
