Chapter 162: Confession

Several professors glanced at each other, and Deng Hongmei rushed to accept Qin Fangge, a student, in front of everyone, and also made some contributions to the piano department.

Qin Fangge also wanted to ask these professors and Senior Sister Wu Hongqin to give some advice, and the other guests also had this rhythm after performing on stage.

Yang Rui, the head of the department, said with a smile, "You have the most right to speak about the music you composed, how to play it, and we all think that these two preludes and fugues just now are quite exciting." If we want other works, we might be able to give some comments and opinions, or how about playing Goethe's second scherzo?"

Qin Fangge did not answer, but turned his eyes to Deng Hongmei for help, Deng Hongmei encouraged him to play, and said, "Goethe's scherzo is his only work with a scherzo nature, perform it well!"

She said so, and Qin Fangge could only bite the bullet.

He also knew that Goethe was forced to leave his homeland when he was young and never returned since, and that his life was unfortunate, which is also reflected in most of his musical works, always with sadness and melancholy in romance. This scherzo is melodic and passionate, and the musical mood is sometimes light and elegant, sometimes passionate and unrestrained, and there is no particularly tragic conflict. Some people commented that Goethe's scherzo must have been composed in a happy and beautiful moment.

These background information are all in Qin Fangge's mind, and if you want to play such a song, you must have an in-depth understanding of the creative background. As a representative of Romantic musicians, Goethe naturally made great efforts to familiarize himself with his energy and his works.

He didn't waste any time, and after adjusting a bit, he started playing.

Although this piece also has an element of showmanship, it can be mastered by the students of the piano department of the Conservatory of Music. The most important thing is the processing and expression of emotions, and the details are of course quite important.

When Su Yunfei participated in the International Goethe Piano Competition, he chose this scherzo as the repertoire and won unanimous praise from the judges.

These professors and students in the piano department have listened to all kinds of masters and masters play this piece, if not 100 times, at least 10 times. They could naturally hear that Qin Fangge was quite different from Su Yunfei in terms of details and emotional processing, or in other words, he was not at all in the same way as other pianists.

Such a highly fantastical and dramatic tune gives Qin Fangge a lot of room to play freely. When it pops out of his hand, it feels like a passionate and romantic musical poem.

Moreover, Qin Fangge gave full play to his advantages, and was particularly good in the handling of details and timbre, and even showed the storytelling of the work. I feel that when he is playing, he understands and analyzes this piece more from the creative intention of Goethe, the author.

At every paragraph level, Qin Fangge plays very clearly and clearly, and in the portrayal of the characters' feelings, it is his forte, his soft and romantic touch of the keys, with a beautiful piano sound, shows that delicate inner emotion.

The euphemistic and beautiful melody on the right hand and the beautiful decomposition chords on the left hand are intertwined and reflect each other, showing the romantic and beautiful artistic conception vividly and vividly, and to the audience, it is like a romantic and gorgeous drama.

What made Wu Hongqin and the others envious was that Qin Fangge had a pair of dexterous and independent big hands, and the technical problems here couldn't be difficult for him at all. Even Wu Hongqin himself, and even some famous pianists, can't handle the 302nd measure of the opening part perfectly, and he seems to be lightweight.

The pitch and intensity of the pitch and intensity he plays are not abrupt, but reflected through the contrast between before and after. In the climax, he vividly shows the effect of this conflict that is amplified and enhanced by contrast.

It is especially worth mentioning that Qin Fangge's pedals are rarely used, and he seems to be more happy to use them on the keyboard to reflect the musicality of this scherzo.

In the final epilogue stage, Qin Fangge also expressed the incomparable momentum that swallowed mountains and rivers well, highlighting the drama of the scherzo.

An eight-minute piece made the professors and students in the classroom feel like they are listening to a concert now.

Qin Fangge on the stage was polite and confident.

Yang Rui took the lead in applauding, and everyone followed suit, and the applause lasted for about two minutes, which was the most enthusiastic and lasting applause in the whole piano concert.

Everyone is in this business, and they can still distinguish between good and bad playing, and this kind of performance is in stark contrast to their own usual practice. After enjoying such an auditory feast, they naturally did not hesitate to applaud.

Wu Hongqin, the protagonist of the concert, did not have the slightest awareness of being robbed of the limelight, and she also slapped the most happily.

Zhou Yashu, deputy director of the piano department, also commented, "Your performance makes me feel as if I heard Goethe himself playing on stage!"

Qin Fangge hurriedly said modestly, "Professor Zhou has won the award, I just play according to my own understanding of Goethe." ”

Zhou Yashu told him not to be modest, and praised him, "I have heard many people play this piece of Goethe, and your performance today really moved me." ”

Qin Fangge was even more honestly afraid, and Yang Rui also said with a smile, "If your expression was a little richer, it would be more perfect!"

Qin Fangge couldn't laugh, he didn't like that kind of exaggerated expression very much, even if his music was very passionate and enthusiastic.

Deng Hongmei commented, "There are some places that I still can't handle the best, but with your ability, you can do the most perfect." ”

Zhou Yashu said, "Maybe he has his own ideas! Such a piece may not be exactly the same as when Goethe composed it and played it later." I feel that after a work is written, it is like having its own life, and even the author himself cannot interfere too much. ”

Deng Hongmei and others agreed with her point of view.

Wu Hongqin also changed roles and asked Qin Fangge loudly, "When you played this piece, I felt that the starting point was a little different from ours. Is it from the perspective of composition?"

Qin Fangge replied, "I have done more on this piece, I still carefully analyze the structure of the whole piece, and then analyze it from the perspective of Goethe's composition of this piece paragraph by paragraph, and then incorporate my own immature ideas. ”

Liu Qingqing also stood up and asked him, "Do you think there is a balance between composition and performance, and how do you deal with the relationship?" ”

"I think every writer who creates a piece doesn't want it to be refrigerated, and wants it to be performed. But when composing, you may not think much about the performance. In my own words, I try to study the thoughts of musicians throughout the ages, study their works carefully, and sometimes I may create my own compositions in the performance. Qin Fangge organized his language for a moment before replying.

The other students were more interested in how he practiced, especially since he was not a piano major.

Qin Fangge could only reply that he spent a lot of time on the piano, practiced very seriously, and more importantly, he listened a lot.

Well, he's not a lie, he should have spent more time practicing the piano in his two lives than all the students here. As for the music he had heard, it was more than the music of the world than anyone present.

Even in the music of this world, Qin Fangge has also worked hard in the past few months to make up for the homework that Qin Fangge had not completed before, plus his perverted musicality and memory. It can be said that he knows the classical music of this world well.

The host Lu Lu saw that it was not too early, and after soliciting the opinions of Deng Hongmei and several department leaders, he announced that Wu Hongqin's piano performance exchange meeting was a complete success.

Then, everyone began to leave, Deng Hongmei and Wu Hongqin did not leave in a hurry, even Zhou Yashu stayed, caught Qin Fangge, and asked him if he had participated in any piano competitions before, and if he would like to participate in the future.

Qin Fangge replied that he had no plans like that for the time being, and he still learned his skills at the Conservatory of Music before considering these things.

Zhou Yashu thought about it and felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and if he went to participate in the competition now, he felt that the relationship with the Huaxia Conservatory of Music was not particularly big. Coupled with the fact that Qin Fangge is not her student yet, she doesn't have to worry about it more, as long as Qin Fangge is willing to enter the piano department. In the end, Zhou Yashu still said that she especially liked him to play Goethe's works, and his first ballade in his last CD also won her heart.

Qin Fangge said that he would work hard and strive to do his best, and Zhou Yashu said a few more words to Deng Hongmei before leaving.

Deng Hongmei was secretly glad in her heart, if she hadn't been alert enough and took the lead, Qin Fangge would definitely have been accepted as a student by Zhou Yashu. Zhou Yashu is a veteran of the piano department, and she is older and more senior than Deng Hongmei, and she really can't compete with her head-on.

Qin Fangge also apologized to Wu Hongqin, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Wu, for wasting some more of your time." ”

Wu Hongqin smiled, "Senior Brother Qin is too modest, you have drawn a successful conclusion to my concert, I thank you for being too late! It's a pity that I will graduate in a few days in school, and I don't have so many opportunities to enjoy your works and performances." ”

Qin Fangge also said with a smile, "The Curtis Institute of Music is the top music school in the world, and I believe that Senior Sister Wu can gain more when she goes there." ”

"With your current level, it's not easy to get in. Anyway, you really don't plan to go abroad?" Wu Hongqin asked him curiously, saying that he couldn't understand him.

Qin Fangge said that he was more homely, but Wu Hongqin didn't believe it, and only guessed that he had a special reason.

Deng Hongmei also smiled, "You two don't flatter each other, hurry up and pack up and go to dinner." ”

Wu Hongqin said that she had a treat and asked Qin Fangge to go with her.

"I have already been stained with Senior Sister Wu's light when I came here today, so why am I embarrassed to let Senior Sister Wu invite you to dinner again. Qin Fangge hurriedly shirked it.

"Teacher Deng, look at him, he really doesn't give me face. Wu Hongqin immediately asked Deng Hongmei for help.

Deng Hongmei ordered, "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, don't you give her face, don't you give me face?"

Qin Fangge only said with a bitter face that it was better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and he also told Wu Hongqin, "Then Senior Sister Wu must be ready to break the fortune, I can eat it very well." ”

Wu Hongqin said with a smile, "Senior Brother Qin, although don't worry, I will definitely not be hungry for you, and I will keep you full." ”

Deng Hongmei also asked Qin Fangge, what is Yanjing busy with this time, she doesn't believe it anyway, he will have nothing to do with Yanjing, and he has just finished the college entrance examination. The average student can't wait to travel all over the world.

Qin Fangge also told the truth, Deng Hongmei and the others could know with a little inquiry, and it was very unwise to lie on this.

After Deng Hongmei heard this, she could only shake her head helplessly, "You! do so many things, and also compose music for the TV series." I see where you got so much energy and time to stop practicing the piano?"

Qin Fangge said with a smile, "I also want to make some money by myself!" I have settled down in Yanjing, I bought a piano, and I can practice for a few hours every day when I go back." ”

Deng Hongmei has always believed that the life of artists should be guaranteed, and when they want to make money, they feel that art has changed its taste. But she also knew about Qin Fangge's family, which was far from the point where he was carefree and didn't think about making money to support himself. It costs a lot of money to engage in music, and it costs money to buy equipment and hire teachers, it seems that Qin Fangge is doing a good job.

Knowing that she wouldn't listen to Qin Fangge, Deng Hongmei would say more about it, which would annoy others.

Wu Hongqin was quite curious, whether Qin Fangge could play so many things, like herself, she put all her energy on practicing, but she still felt that there was not enough time and her progress was too slow.

Qin Fangge said that he was young anyway, so he didn't have to think about it so much, just do what he likes to do. also said that it is similar to Wu Hongqin learning in the future and opening a global tour.

Wu Hongqin shook her head and said frankly that she still has a lot to learn, and there is still a long way to go before the concert.

Deng Hongmei told her that going to the Curtis Institute of Music first and practicing the piano well is the right way, and not everyone can do pianists.

Qin Fangge echoed, he still thought it was too tiring to fly around the world to perform.

As a result, it only aroused the white eyes of Deng Hongmei and Wu Hongqin, he has such a talent, but he refuses to play on stage, which is really tyrannical.

However, what is entangled is that Qin Fangge is not only talented in piano creation and performance, but also amazing in vocal singing.

Otherwise, how could a vocal music titan like Zhou Xiuying accept him as a disciple, and he also took out the morning to teach him during this time.

Wu Hongqin also wanted to invite Lu Lu to have dinner with her, but unfortunately Lu Lu refused much more simply than Qin Fangge, and Deng Hongmei and the others did not force her.

After leaving the classroom, I went to the parking lot, Wu Hongqin drove, Qin Fangge and Deng Hongmei sat in the back row, and Deng Hongmei also cared about Qin Fangge's settlement in Yanjing.

Qin Fangge told the truth, saying that he rented a courtyard house for music and accommodation, and he could save some money.

Deng Hongmei was originally afraid that he would be deceived, but after hearing Qin Fangge say that it was Mr. Zhou's proud disciple Zhao Yuhui who helped lead the needle, she was relieved, but she still reminded Qin Fangge that when signing a contract or something, pay more attention and find more people to consult.

Qin Fangge hurriedly thanked her for her concern.

Deng Hongmei was most interested in the song he wanted to enter the recording studio tomorrow, although Qin Fangge had said it roughly before, but this was far from satisfying her curiosity, and even Wu Hongqin, who was driving, pointed her ears to listen.

"How many times have you changed it?" Deng Hongmei asked him.

"Thirty times!" Qin Fangge replied, on this classic tune, it was not difficult for him to use his own hands and feet to add modification points. But he still intended to respect Bach and bring out his original "Goldberg Variations", although not in Bach's own name.

"Thirty times!" Wu Hongqin was startled, her body shook, and she almost didn't press the accelerator as a brake.

"This is quite a project!" Deng Hongmei was also very surprised, "I plan to write a huge book?"

Qin Fangge said with a smile, "Actually, I put so many variations together for the purpose of hypnosis. ”

"Hypnosis?" Deng Hongmei's expression and tone were obviously unbelieving.

Qin Fangge also said happily, "I played at Mr. Zhou's house at noon today, and the effect seems to be quite good." ”

Deng Hongmei suddenly realized, "This piece of your song was written for Mr. Zhou's lover? I heard that he often suffers from insomnia." ”

Qin Fangge nodded, "I've tried other tunes, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, but this one feels okay." ”

Deng Hongmei was also speechless, "How long do you have to play these thirty variations, an hour?"

Qin Fangge replied, "I played relatively slowly, about an hour and a half. ”

Even Wu Hongqin has nothing to say, for an hour and a half, really, you can't hypnotize others if you don't want to!

However, Wu Hongqin said that she was looking forward to his song.

Deng Hongmei said that she sometimes can't sleep at night, so she can try the effect of this song when she goes back.

"In addition to this variation and those two preludes and fugues, you should have other works!"

Wu Hongqin said with a smile, "There are wild bees flying!"

Qin Fangge was embarrassed, "Let you see and laugh!"

Deng Hongmei made a very objective evaluation, "You, you can be regarded as showing off your skills to the extreme! Listening to your wild bees flying, no one will be surprised." Is there anything else?"

Qin Fangge thought about it and said that there was also a waltz!

Well, that's all, Deng Hongmei is already very satisfied. Qin Fangge's song is also quite prolific, and she doesn't count those artistic and popular songs.

Deng Hongmei asked him to record these tunes together when he went to the recording studio tomorrow, Qin Fangge nodded and agreed, and thanked her for helping him contact the teacher in the recording studio.

Wu Hongqin also knew that Deng Hongmei took up Chu Jie's time to record him last time.

At dinner in the evening, Wu Hongqin talked to them about this related topic, and she also left a few CDs for Qin Fangge, saying that she was going to take them to the Curtis Institute of Music, so that those foreigners could also see and understand, and we also have great composers in China.

Qin Fangge was a little embarrassed, but Deng Hongmei was quite supportive of her.
