Chapter 1151: Rehearsal
After a brief greeting, the orchestra conductor Karpache still conducted the members of the Philharmonic Orchestra and seized the time to rehearse. The vertex update is the fastest in Christopher's Sixth Symphony Revolution, there are many classic interpretations, but there seems to be no unanimous conclusion on who is the best, each conductor has the same style, the orchestra is different, and the final musical effect is naturally different. If you have to divide the superior, no one can convince anyone!
When they were rehearsing, Qin Fangge and Zhou Xiuying and his party sat down to enjoy it, although it was not a complete concert performance. But for Qin Fangge, in his daily training, he can better judge the true level of a symphony orchestra.
Zhou Xiuying has listened to a lot of Christopher's symphonies, and her ears are also sensitive, so it is absolutely no problem to help him refer to it. As for Xi Wanqing, Qian Feifei, and Xue Min, they are completely soy sauce, but in order to show respect for these performers, they didn't play mobile phones or chat, they all sat down and quietly felt the charm of music.
Music director Vucik sat next to them and listened to them, which would not interfere with him, as the music director dealt more with all kinds of interpersonal relationships, between the members of the orchestra, and the outside world, which is why Karpache was unwilling to waste time doing it, preferring to spend more time on rehearsals and conducting the orchestra.
And when training, it won't be like on stage, and Karpache is not afraid of losing face in front of Qin Fangge and continues their rehearsals. The members of his orchestra are basically world-class players, whether it is violin or cello, trumpet or clarinet. But it doesn't mean that a group of top-notch people can put on perfect music together, and in such a large symphony orchestra, the role of the conductor is particularly important.
At this time, there was no room for Karpache to be distracted by other things, and they rehearsed the most difficult third movement, depicting the frustrations and tribulations of the revolutionary journey of blood and fire, and the mood changes of the revolutionaries. These emotions are expressed through harmonic directions, chord changes, and the composition of the structure of the song. There are times of depression and decadence, even gloom and despair, and there are also times of disgrace and reinvigoration in such adversity. It is said that Christopher is a heroic fighter, he has been fighting all his life, and there have been downturns in his life, but the reason why he is great is that he can overcome the fear and hesitation in his heart, regain courage and confidence, and meet the challenges of fate with a fuller attitude.
As a composer, he should not have gone to the battlefield himself, but Christopher went to the front line, in the face of the cruelty of reality, he did not flinch in the slightest, on the battlefield, he lost his closest companion, which made him painful, but also more and more inspired him to carry on the legacy of his friend and carry the revolution to the end. According to his own experience, this revolution can be said to be one of the most powerful symphonies in the world.
Czech music and German music are in the same vein, but there are many differences, and their distinctive national characteristics are their greatest characteristics. When the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra performed this Christopher's revolution, in Qin Fangge's view, it was still handled softly, lacking the fearlessness, recklessness, and indomitable courage in Christopher's musical works.
Strings are the proudest part of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, with its quaint mood and unique Czech tone, which is particularly emotional and stylish when playing Czech national works. But in this revolution, the performance of the strings is not so satisfactory, and Karpacz's conducting style is pleasantly described as steady and full of inner enthusiasm, but it is also somewhat restrained, delicate but lacking momentum and boldness.
The momentum of the wind music is much worse, so magnificent and magnificent, majestic, like a symphony of vicissitudes of history, the requirements for the wind music are the highest, whether it is timbre or momentum, it is to reflect the changes in the revolutionary history of the era in full swing.
Qin Fangge thinks that with their strength, they can do better. If he were to train the members of such a high-level orchestra to form an orchestra and play such a work as the revolution, the style would definitely be more passionate and radical. After all, the great leader once said, "Revolution is not a dinner party, not an essay, not a painting and embroidery, it cannot be so elegant, so calm, so polite, gentle and frugal." A revolution is an insurrection, a violent act by which a class overthrows a class. ”
Presumably, Christopher, who personally devoted himself to revolutionary action, would have had the same consciousness, and in such an environment, writing such music to cheer for the revolution certainly did not want to be weak.
It's just that Qin Fangge has these words in his heart, and he will definitely not say them. To be sure, even during rehearsals, the level of familiarity with the repertoire and the ability to make quick adjustments under Karpacz's direction has left Asian symphony orchestras far behind.
Moreover, if you think about it more selfishly, although Karpacz's conducting style is somewhat inadequate in "Revolution", it is the most suitable to play Dvořák's Ninth Symphony, which has a Czech national style and a bohemian style in it, that is, the symphony he took out.
Their rehearsal progress was good, and after a short break, they practiced on the last movement, which was also the most important of the whole "Revolution", the passionate music, the active rhythm, the ascending harmony, seemed to inspire people to make persistent efforts to carry the revolution to the end.
During the break, Karpache also modestly asked Qin Fangge's opinion, and his rhetoric was similar to that of director Vučik, which was very good, and the conductor and orchestra members were of a very high level. Nor would he have rushed to point out that they did not play with passion or emotion, and that they did not really show the broad-mindedness and ardent ambition of the revolutionaries. Zhou Xiuying also praised them for their high level, and the music they played was very expressive and infectious.
Before five o'clock, their rehearsal this afternoon came to an end, and the time of these orchestra members was very precious, and participating in such rehearsals required extra money. Organizing a few more rehearsals like this is enough for the music director to have a headache. But they were still quite generous enough to give Qin Fangge ten hours of rehearsal time for this symphony, which would cost a lot of extra money.
But the members of the orchestra, who usually run fast after training, are not in a hurry to leave. (To be continued.) )
