The old man looked at Yang Jingxing patiently and kindly, as if he was sure that the young man had something to say.

Yang Jingxing put down his smile: "Grandma, last year in your house, it was my fault, it hurt your health, let Tao Meng's father worry, and made the family very unhappy...... Although I ate a little, I apologize to you today. "Laugh again.

The old man listened carefully, continued to look at Yang Jingxing carefully, then nodded, stretched out his palm to cover the back of Yang Jingxing's hand on his knee, and said seriously and gently: "It's all right, it's all right, you don't have to apologize." ”

Yang Jingxing is self-aware again: "It's always because of me, it's because I didn't think about it at the beginning, and I didn't realize that there is really a big gap between me and Tao Meng......"

The old man stopped: "Wrong! I know you are a very confident child, don't say such insincere words, I don't like it." ”

Yang Jingxing stiffened: "The gap I mentioned is not inferiority...... Grandma, I invited Tao Meng over this time, one is because we had an agreement before we started talking about friends, she said that she would definitely study abroad, I said that's good, when the time comes, please come to see the show, count me lucky, if you are angry, you can really cash in. ”

The old man nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, okay...... You, like Meng Meng, have put in a lot of effort. ”

Yang Jingxing: "It's not like ...... In fact, more importantly, I wanted to eliminate the knots left at that time through this meeting, because at that time, ......"

The old man shook Yang Jingxing's hand vigorously and nodded again and again, looking very moved and understanding: "Yes, yes, yes, it was grandma who was not good at that time." ”

Yang Jingxing didn't dare: "Don't say that, now that I think about it, I thank you very much, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have done something stupid and made a bigger mistake at that time...... Grandma, it's been so long, I think I can go back and face it again with a better attitude. ”

The old man was very encouraging: "Yes, yes. ”

Yang Jingxing began to rejoice: "Now Tao Meng has succeeded in his studies, has a lovely younger brother, you are in good health, and the whole family is really happy, I am especially happy for Tao Meng." You will definitely live a long life, not only to hold your grandson, but also to hold your great-grandson in the future. ”

The old man hehe: "That's good...... I'm also going to work hard as a family. ”

Yang Jingxing brilliantly: "Actually, I'm okay now, and my studies and work are going well...... So I thought it would be better if I could get rid of the previous little bumps. Tao Meng and I are good friends, when you celebrate your 80th birthday, when you celebrate your 100th birthday, I will give you a birthday if you have the opportunity, otherwise you are so good to me, I will not have a chance to repay. ”

The old man looked at Yang Jingxing with a smile, but he didn't look particularly happy, and he seemed to be a little sad: "I'm very happy if I have a heart...... Have you talked to Mengmeng?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I also apologized to her...... I thought, if there is really a chance to come over again, I should be able to call Tao Meng generously, and I won't be so hesitant and entangled, and you must come when the time comes, my song won't be so bad. ”

The old man nodded: "I must still accompany Mengmeng." ”

Yang Jingxing: "Besides, Tao Meng's father's side, I originally said something against him, although I won't have the same knowledge as me, but I should still say sorry...... This time I invited Tao Meng to come, her father may be unhappy, please help me say it, I don't mean anything else......"

The old man stopped again: "No, Xiao Yang, let me tell you, if Mengmeng's father knows what you said, he will definitely support you to meet this time, Mengmeng's father has no bad impression of you." ”

Yang Jingxing believed that it was true: "That's good...... I don't have any lumps at all!"

The old man was pleased, let go of Yang Jingxing's hand, patted it, and sighed a little: "Good boy......"

Yang Jingxing was relaxed, and he almost stretched: "I've been sitting for a long time, do you want to get up and take a walk?"

The old man nodded: "I'll stand for a while...... In Boston, I walk two kilometers twice a day, each time. ”

Yang Jingxing admired: "You walk more than us young people." ”

The old man was still old, and laughed that the parts were not good: "...... With this left eye, I didn't want to have surgery, but I couldn't see Xiaohu more and more clearly...... Meng Meng is back. ”

Yang Jingxing turned around and smiled: "Look at grandma, I have completed my task well, right?"

The old man laughed, Tao Meng didn't think so, looked at the social enthusiasm over there, and asked, "Don't you go back?"

Yang Jingxing nodded and said to the old man: "Grandma, I won't send you later, you go back and have a good rest, go back to Boston early tomorrow, and continue walking." By this time next year, Borong will be able to accompany you. ”

The old man: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with him." ”

Yang Jingxing was vulgar: "Take a rope and tie it...... I passed. ”

Tao Meng nodded, and her grandmother was polite: "Send Xiao Yang." ”

Yang Jingxing: "No. "Turn and leave.

Returning to her seat, the second half was about to begin, and Veronica hurriedly came to ask Yang Jingxing, saying that after the meeting, the senator wanted to meet with the artist: "...... If you're not interested, you may need to wait a few minutes before talking to the conductor, which won't take too long. ”

Yang Jingxing is from a socialist country, he is fine, and he is not afraid to meet the leaders.

Veronica breathed a sigh of relief: "Great......"

Two or three minutes before the opening, the audience was ready, as if there were no one missing, and their expressions regained their composure from the radical avant-garde art of the first half. Many people are looking at the program list again, and judging from the introduction, the symphony in the second half should not be too challenging.

At this point just now, Kong Chenhe and Gan Kaicheng's family seemed to have been listening to the strings to analyze the artistry of the First Symphony, which caused several women to now have less relaxed attitude to cheer for their friends, and a bit of a feeling of sitting upright, only Gan Kaicheng disdainful, because he always held the handle of "Dead and Alive" in his hands.

When the orchestra came on stage, it was so formalistic without opening, and it didn't appear or anything, and they went out one after another. Yu Xinting didn't seem to have anything new, so she walked directly to the piano and sat down, without looking at the audience. As soon as the girl sat down, she was blocked by the piano, and the audience on the first floor must not be able to see her.

Jeromir still received applause when he appeared, but he still had to say two words: "Brahms once said that he would never be able to create a symphony, and one cannot imagine what it was like to hear the heavy footsteps of a giant like Beethoven behind him." To a certain extent, I understand his reverence for the great genre of the symphony, and his reverence for the great composers. So when I was talking to this young composer named Yang Jingxing, I was going to ask him, can you feel the giants behind you...... I didn't ask that because I found the answer in music. Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Jingxing's Symphony No. 1 in F major. ”

Amid the ceremonial applause, Jeromir turned to face the orchestra, he was a sophisticated and calm type, and he did not have as much external momentum and posture as Lian Lixin, and he lifted the baton after a little look at the state of the orchestra.

With violins and cellos coming in pairs, a melody that doesn't have anything particularly fresh may be able to breathe a sigh of relief to today's more than 1,000 listeners.

I have to say that the chief of New Love still has two brushes, and in contrast, Puhai Philharmonic's peers still need to work harder.

Then the string ensemble gradually started up, and for more than a minute, the percussion and wind music also came head-on, except for Yu Xinting who was still sitting there, and the orchestra was all started.

The false climax in the introduction of the first movement also lifted the listeners into some sense of spirit, and everyone looked at the stage, ready to accept the fruits of the composer's and the orchestra's labor.

But the fake orgasm is drifting away......

After the introduction, as he prepares to enter the whole pause of the presentation section, Lien Lixin is silent for a second, unlike Jeromir, who is silent for two seconds, and then lets the flute play the first short melody in the work with a strong intention to please...... As you can hear from the previous introduction, wind music is often the most obvious point to open up the gap between the bands, and the wind music of New Love is top-notch.

There are not many people who refuse to say "good" from the bottom of their hearts, and even the composer of the previous work does not show a sneering expression at this moment, and like most people in the concert hall, although not yet to the point of intoxication, he at least maintains patience and respect.

The music is progressing steadily, and if you listen to it professionally, in addition to performing better than Puhai Philharmonic in terms of hard requirements, the color processing is also different, and it feels more calm and introverted, not so extroverted and positive.

In the reproduction section, the piano finally has a chance to strike, and the four repetitions of the same theme, emphasizing the change of rhythm and dynamics.

Is Yu Xinting learning to love in capitalism, such a little content, she seems to use the muscles and emotions of her whole body from the moment she points down, and it is different from the stability of the pianist of the Puhai Philharmonic, this girl cleverly added a little frustration to the push required in the original music, and each new repetition is not simply accelerated and accentuated, there is a very subtle processing between the notes, which meets the requirements of the music and adds smart colors...... The strings are right, they work very well, and they can make people ignore the cliché.

The New York Philharmonic plays a little longer than the Puhai Philharmonic, with the first movement lasting almost 12 minutes.

In the short few seconds between the movements, many listeners adjusted their sitting posture or something, perhaps thinking that it was still a little interesting, and listened carefully to the value of the ticket price, and did not see anyone impatient, more interested, and perhaps a little anticipation for the future.

Tao Meng glanced at Yang Jingxing, and when his eyes made contact, Yang Jingxing smiled, and Tao Meng also smiled, not feeling reluctant.

The second movement begins, with a sustained low wind ensemble, followed by a variation on the strings, with subtle color changes that make it impossible to see the specific motive......

There was an obvious reaction from the audience, which must have aroused curiosity, and even the strings made a look of anticipation for the next step.

The music that followed should have gone beyond most people's expectations, and the composer did not give the listener time to adapt and reflect on taste, and the theme that could have been beautifully developed was ruthlessly destroyed again and again, and each time it went too far and worse......

It is said that the music fans who can come to listen to the concert of the new work are well-informed and have a good psychological quality, but most of them are still surprised or even shocked, and their faces are no longer calm, some are uneasy, some are unhappy, some are inexplicable, some are unacceptable, and even some are painful, and there are very few who are excited. However, there are also those who appreciate it, that is, the owner of the previous work, and the strings are okay.

Tao Meng frowned, but she still insisted on looking at the stage, and didn't look at Yang Jingxing's side, probably because she didn't want to hit her old classmates. Yu Xinting, the only one on the stage who had nothing to do, sat there and was willing to raise her head, as if she was selfless and appreciating the work of her colleagues.

In the second movement, Jeromir is a little faster than Lien Lixin, just over five minutes into it. And there must be a lot more avant-garde performances in New Ia, so when dealing with those destruction and collapses, it is more orderly than the Puhai Philharmonic, which is quite good.

Between movements, the concert hall was quiet, no one in the audience made any movements, everyone maintained the vigilance or sense of protection aroused by the second movement, and most of them sat upright and continued to look at the stage.

It is estimated that there was a silence of up to ten seconds before the third movement finally began.

Soon, sadness and despair enveloped the concert hall, and even the strings shook their heads slightly, frowning as if they could not control themselves. The others didn't have any body movements, but their expressions changed quite a lot.

As one of the most complex emotional movements, in fact, there is no free time on and off the stage, and the endless wonderful musical ideas, endless bright colors, and unstoppable emotional advancement in the music are overwhelming.

Finally, the movement seems to reach its climax, the colors begin to stabilize, and that warmth and light and hope become clearer and clearer, and the original high.

Inspired by the softness and brightness of the woodwinds again and again, the brass became more magnificent and brighter each time, = until the woodwinds exerted their strength to feed, and the brass finally burst to the highest point, and then the whole strings played, so that the warm melody like a mother's embrace instantly filled the whole space.

After I don't know how long the warmth was, the percussion began to pave the way, slowly adding drama, others slowly fading out, and then the percussion gradually became the protagonist.

In another instant, the orchestral strings struck at the same time again, the wind music was surging, and the strings were magnificently bursting, as if there was only beauty and light left in this world.

After the climax, the music begins to fall back again, and at the end of the movement, it begins to sing sadly lyrically, with hope and longing, the strings are neatly and gently bowed, but still kneading, and all of them have artistic expressions on their faces.

The pause between the third and fourth movements was only a few seconds, because unlike after the end of the second movement, after listening to the third movement, the expressions of most listeners were not ready for battle, but strongly anticipating a happy ending.

Tao Meng still didn't look at Yang Jingxing's side, Yu Xinting didn't look at the audience, and the strings didn't talk to Yang Jingxing.

In the fourth movement, to put it mildly, there was nothing new at all, and the orchestra and conductor quickly relaxed, and the audience gradually relaxed their nerves. Yang Jingxing's American counterparts all seemed absent-minded after listening to a paragraph, they were simply flattering and pleasing the audience, and the melody and harmony were much more excessive than the first movement.

can write such a movement, Yang Jingxing should be able to understand why saliva songs can make so much money, in fact, most of the more than 1,000 people in this concert hall are intoxicated, and what is the essential difference between those fans who download the ringtones and hum happily with a simple melody?

The movement is led by the piano into the end, and the lively and uplifting melody like a child's laughter is played very briskly by Yu Xinting, her expression looks happy, and there seems to be a smile briefly after playing the last note.

With a large stroke of Jeromir's baton, the cheerful strings and exerted wind music came to an instant end, and Yang Jingxing's Symphony No. 1, which had been performed by Niu Ai for more than 42 minutes, finally came to an end.

The audience still seems to be intoxicated......
