After sending off his friends, Yang Jingxing immediately threw himself into intense practice. Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3, three movements, more than half an hour long, has a huge and heavy structure, and is the most difficult in the world. If you want to play this piece well, you need not only skill, but also perseverance, endurance, and courage...... Ordinary people are frightened and dizzy when they read the thick pile of scores on two pages. Even many masters who have become famous can only sigh with admiration, and some people who are not convinced have lost their hands.

What an octave jump, in La Sanli is already pediatric. This piece covers almost all the piano playing techniques, bringing the expressive power of the piano to the extreme. The stormy and sloping notes of the piano embody all the emotional power, sadness, joy, heroism, and confusion...... The finger independence, which the piano teachers have repeatedly emphasized, has been vividly reflected in this piece, and it is really necessary to use two or even three uses with one heart, otherwise it is impossible to complete the perfect fit of several parts.

Yang Jingxing's first pull three was actually played after listening to the CD at Jiuchun's house. Not to mention bookstores, it's hard to find this kind of sheet music in the specialized stores outside the conservatory. He spent three nights just arranging the score, and the thunderous chords and dense ornamentations in the music were really fatal.

Picking up the score is a trivial matter, and only when you play it can you know what real gold is, and you are not afraid of fire. Yang Jingxing practiced every night, but the first time he played it in full was half a month later.

When Li Yingzhen handed over the two or three hundred pages of music to Yang Jingxing, he was as solemn as a letter of appointment, and said, "Take a good look at it first, don't worry." "There's also a band genealogy, which is even more terrifying.

Yang Jingxing quickly flipped through it and found the problem: "It's not the same version I listened to." ”

The version given by Li Yingzhen has OSSIA, that is, it will simplify the performance in some places that are too difficult. No one will laugh at you, the masters do it.

But Yang Jingxing was unwilling, so he played what he practiced and showed Li Yingzhen to listen.

After listening, Li Yingzhen stared at Yang Jingxing, and after a while, she patted her thigh and stood up, pointed at Yang Jingxing, and asked, "How long have you been practicing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Play at home during the holidays. ”

Li Yingzhen was very blamed: "You just want to climb to the sky in one step!"

Yang Jingxing smiled.

The master and apprentice went to the library to find the authentic score, and checked whether there were any errors in the score that Yang Jingxing picked up by himself, in fact, there were so many notes.

Then Li Yingzhen asked Yang Jingxing to play again, and she herself listened and quickly flipped the score and made marks. Although Yang Jingxing's playing surprised her, and she was able to go on stage, it was not yet at the level he could reach.

didn't eat lunch, Yang Jingxing played it four or five times, and Li Yingzhen kept finding that the details were insufficient and kept correcting them.

In the afternoon, a student from the piano department came to class, but Li Yingzhen wanted to ask someone to come back at another time, Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "Professor Li, you can teach him, I have to digest a lot of content slowly." Eat something, I'll buy it. ”

Li Yingzhen was also polite: "Whatever, just a boxed lunch, light." ”

Yang Jingxing hurriedly went, and after eating it quickly, he gave it to Li Yingzhen, still two dishes and one soup. It may be that Yang Jingxing didn't make any big mistakes recently for Li Yingzhen to scold, and the sophomore student became a punching bag and was criticized a lot. Yang Jingxing was embarrassed to look at it, and quickly retreated to the student's piano room.

There are a lot of piano rooms on the 15th to 18th floors of the new teaching building, but there are more students who need to use the piano. Students use the piano room with the piano card issued by the school, and the students of the piano department can use the most time, and the composition department is not bad, like the education department and the management department are a little miserable.

Because the piano room is tight, it is impossible for a few people to occupy it for a long time. However, Yang Jingxing is an exception, he has Li Yingzhen's special care. Although he stayed in the piano room for four or five hours at a time, the teacher in charge would never drive him away, even if someone from the piano department wanted to go to it.

In the elevator, a boy who was not much taller than Yang Jingxing greeted him: "You're a freshman, right?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Take care of it." ”

The boy asked, "Not from the piano department?"

"Composition. ”

The boy was a little surprised: "Are you called Yang Jingxing?"

Yang Jingxing was afraid for a while: "Ah! I'm famous?"

The boy laughed, introduced himself as a junior, and said that he had heard his teacher and some classmates talk about Yang Jingxing, and he knew a lot: "You have been learning the piano with Li Yingzhen since you were a child?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yes." ”

"No wonder...... I'm with Professor Xie. ”

After arriving at the piano room, the tall boy obviously wanted to hear Yang Jingxing show his hands. Yang Jingxing did not refuse, nor did he confiscate, took it seriously, and played the first equalization law.

They are all practitioners, and you can see how kung fu is with a horse step. The tall boy smiled: "We haven't had anyone in our hospital for several years...... Haven't you competed before?"

Yang Jingxing was modest: "It's far from it." ”

The boy guessed: "But the game is boring now, so I won't bother you." ”

As soon as the person left, Yang Jingxing immediately began to play and pull three. For the cadenza of the first movement, he re-selected the major chord version, and practiced it several more times. Then there are the imperfect passages and subsections that Li Yingzhen said. Li Yingzhen is really an expert among experts in listening to and appreciating comments, and she can point out many small details that Yang Jingxing didn't find out at the first time.

There are many piano rooms on the first floor, and the sound insulation of the walls is very good, but the doors are not good. Walking all the way through the bright and clean corridor, you can clearly hear the sound of the piano coming from inside as you pass through every door.

After Yang Jingxing practiced for two hours, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and asked for six people to come in. Three men and three women, including the tall boy before.

The tall boy was embarrassed: "We've been listening for half an hour, this is my classmate and girlfriend." "The introduction is a girl next to him, who looks quite gentle.

Yang Jingxing seemed to be familiar: "Beautiful, you're not here to show off, are you?"

A few people laughed and introduced each other, two of them were sophomores, two were juniors, and one was conducting.

The boy in the command department was quite dissatisfied and said, "You just play it completely, we're in a hurry!" Yang Jingxing has been doing small section exercises just now, touching east and west, gluttonous.

The others chimed in: "yes, it's that good!"

Yang Jingxing flattered: "They are all seniors, more guidance." ”

Yang Jingxing played, and the others stood and listened. Listening, listening, the boys in the conducting department were still excited, and the range of action of the beating became larger and larger, and when Yang Jingxing entered the second movement, he almost kissed the earth. In the third movement, his gestures were so exaggerated that he frightened everyone around, and I don't know whether he was conducting Yang Jingxing or Yang Jingxing directing him.

After playing the song, Yang Jingxing was sweating profusely. The boy from the command department spoke up first and shouted, "Good, great!"

Several others applauded, and the sophomore girl asked, "Why haven't I heard of you before?"

Another old question: "What races have you been to?"

Yang Jingxing was humble for a while before sending these people away and continuing to practice.

Of course, I still have to take classes in my major. Or how to say that the composition department is boring, it is a daily sight-singing ear training, listening, listening, not appreciation! Then there is harmony, analyzing the chords of the piece bar by measure...... I still have to do a lot of homework! Although for Yang Jingxing, it is almost the same as elementary school mathematics, but he also completes it seriously.

He Hongchui didn't pay as much attention to Yang Jingxing as Li Yingzhen, but he was still careful, although he didn't have his class, he also made an appointment with Yang Jingxing a few times alone, and assigned him some self-study tasks and writing tasks. This kind of writing task is not for you to use your inspiration and talent to the fullest, but it has strict formatting requirements for what kind of chords you want to write and what kind of connections to use...... It's boring too!

Friday, October 13th, it was raining lightly and a little cold. In the afternoon, Tao Meng called and asked Yang Jingxing if she had time on the weekend, and she wanted to come to the Conservatory of Music to visit.

miserable, Yang Jingxing's daytime was occupied by Li Yingzhen. The old professor is willing to sacrifice his rest time to tutor you for free, and you Yang Jingxing can't say that you want to meet your high school classmates.

Yang Jingxing asked, "Is it okay at night?"

Tao Meng said loudly: "Of course not, I have to go home at night." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Then next weekend, I will pick you up." ”

Tao Meng was disdainful: "Forget it, I don't want to go yet." "Hung up the phone.

Yang Jingxing called back and warned: "If you hang me again, I'm used to it, so I won't fight!"

Tao Meng didn't speak, and hung up again.

It seems that Yang Jingxing is not used to it, so he called again: "To be honest, who are you? I often suspect that you are not Tao Meng." ”

Tao Meng was angry: "You can't hear my voice?"

Yang Jingxing said: "So I just doubt. Let me ask you, how many moles does Tao Meng have on his face?"

Tao Meng may have to look in the mirror to confirm: "...... Not a single one. ”

Yang Jingxing shouted: "Sure enough, there is one in front of her left ear, and she said, who are you?"

“…… You're so young!Hey, you're all bored?" Tao Meng softened.

Yang Jingxing changed the subject: "It's really not good this weekend, next time." ”

Tao Meng said: "Whatever you want, I don't necessarily have time...... Are you adjusting to university life?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Except that there are no beautiful women at the same table, the others are fine." ”

Tao Menghehe: "Every time we have a big class, there are five or six people in a row at the same table. ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "Are you sitting in a row alone?"

"How is that possible!"

Yang Jingxing was sad: "Don't keep promises!"

Tao Meng annoyed: "I sit with girls." ”

Yang Jingxing praised: "That's pretty much it, keep it up." ”

Tao Meng asked, "How did you go to class?"

Yang Jingxing described: "More than a dozen people, one person and one table, scattered, except for ear training. ”

Tao Meng was very interested: "What is ear training?"

So, the two exchanged views on their respective studies, and after knowing that Yang Jingxing didn't have a math class, Tao Meng was envious and regretful, saying that it was a pity that Yang Jingxing didn't learn mathematics. It's a pity? The college entrance examination is only one hundred and thirteen,

Yang Jingxing Education: "You have to learn to appreciate the pleasure of mathematics and logic. ”

"It's fast...... Can't you change the word?" Tao Meng was very unhappy.

Yang Jingxing compromised: "Okay, the happiness of logic." ”

Tao Meng said: "I joined the student union, the propaganda department, and I want to do a questionnaire activity. ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "What do you ask?"

Tao Meng said: "It is to investigate the mental state of freshmen, and then publicize and encourage it...... Do you have a lot of activities at school?"

In fact, there are many student activities in the Conservatory of Music, in addition to music-related, there are also many others, and even learning political ideology, but Yang Jingxing has never participated in it.

Tao Meng complained: "That's how you ...... Did you make any new friends at school?"

Yang Jingxing had low self-esteem: "Not yet, what about you?"

Tao Meng said: "The relationship between the classmates in the class is not bad...... I'm a little nostalgic for high school life, I feel a bit big here, I want to go home and live because a girl in the dormitory is too unhygienic, and the box is on the table when she eats instant noodles!"

Yang Jingxing said: "That's because you were unlucky, and you met it." ”

Tao Meng said: "Although there is no contradiction, I always feel a little cold between people. ”

Yang Jingxing comforted: "At the beginning, if I was enthusiastic about you, it would be ill-intentioned." You think everyone is like me. ”

Tao Meng snorted: "Are you enthusiastic? How many times have you made a phone call and sent a few text messages?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I will fight twice today. ”

Tao Meng said again: "I don't have anything to do when I go home, do you have any new scores?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yes, pull three, do you want it?"

"I mean you made it up yourself!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Say, what you like, I'll give it to you next week." ”

Tao Meng said: "I don't know the way, you choose." ”

Yang Jingxing's entire weekend was spent on pulling three, and he received a lot of praise from Li Yingzhen. On Monday afternoon, Li Yingzhen called Director Sun of the command department and asked him to listen to Yang Jingxing's pull-three. Director Sun immediately agreed to let the Symphony Orchestra of Puhai Conservatory of Music cooperate with Yang Jingxing and hold a concert in the academy.

The symphony orchestra of the college has a history of several decades, but the people change every year, and the average age is only 20 years old, most of them are students, and there are some graduate students and young teachers, so the standard is like that. However, the orchestra has also collaborated with many masters, and has often performed in Europe and the United States, but it feels like something emotional or political. In this regard, the orchestra's direct superior, Director Sun, has done a very successful job.

Li Yingzhen didn't ask Yang Jingxing if he was willing, and this recital in the school should be a warm-up for him. Most people don't have this opportunity yet. Li Yingzhen also told Director Sun: "You have to let them prepare well!"

Director Sun nodded again and again and said to Yang Jingxing: "No problem, I will contact Zhang Jiahuo immediately, he is in Puhai." This Zhang Jiahuo is also a well-known conductor in China, with a big push title, vice chairman of the National Musicians Association, chairman of the Puhai Musicians Association, music director of the Rongcheng Symphony Orchestra, permanent conductor of the Puhai Symphony Orchestra, and chief conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of the Puhai Conservatory of Music.

The relationship between Director Sun and Zhang Jiahuo must be very good, so if you dare to pack a ticket, you must call Zhang Jiahuo to conduct the orchestra in person and cooperate with Yang Jingxing to perform.

Turning around, Li Yingzhen said to Yang Jingxing again: "Conductor Zhang is very enthusiastic, he may want to help you contact other orchestras at home and abroad, or ask you to participate in some competitions, you can thank him, but don't be distracted." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Understood." ”

Li Yingzhen said earnestly: "You have to be a real performer, a musician!"
