Chapter 127: Modesty

After Qin Fangge finished playing this sonata, he left the piano and stood up.
And Zeng Li just listened to Qin Fangge's interpretation of this sonata while reading the manuscript, Qin Fangge wrote this sonata and played it out himself, and the effect was really extraordinarily good.
And this will, Zeng Li plans to take advantage of the feeling that he is still there, and savor this song carefully. Just let Zhang Jie practice the piano by himself first, and Qin Fangge is free to do as he pleases.
Qin Fangge said that he admired Senior Brother Zhang's piano for a while, and he just listened to him play Goethe's music outside the door, and it felt quite good.
Zhang Jie knew how to be modest, and explained, "I have just practiced this concerto for a long time, which makes you laugh, mainly because there was no orchestra practice before......"
Qin Fangge nodded, and said that he had not worked with the orchestra yet, and envied Zhang Jie for having such a good opportunity.
Zhang Jie looked back at Zeng Li and concentrated on studying the manuscript, and didn't have time to listen to what they had to say, so he shook his head and said, "It's just that I work with the orchestra of the Conservatory, and their members change every year, and I don't have much time to practice every week." If I could work with the Southwest Philharmonic Orchestra, the effect would definitely be much better......"
"It's also a good opportunity, step by step!" Qin Fangge said, he could imagine that the orchestra of the Conservatory of Music was not professional after all, and its level would definitely not be high.
As for the Southwest Philharmonic Orchestra, this is a professional symphony orchestra, a public institution funded by the government, representing the face of the entire Southwest Province. It's not easy to work with them, unless you play the piano very well, and you have to have a relationship.
Finding the orchestra of the Southwest Conservatory of Music to cooperate, Zhang Jie alone can't rely on himself, but the teachers of the piano department have to come forward, and Zeng Li, a good old man, must have contributed a lot. Looking at this, Zhang Jie is still very resigned, at least he never mentions that he wants to cooperate with foreign symphony orchestras, and he feels very satisfied if he can cooperate with the Southwest Philharmonic Orchestra.
Zhang Jie didn't mention it, he practiced the piano first, Zhang Jie was playing by himself, and he didn't tell Qin Fangge what he wanted to play.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a time to test the number of pieces in Qin Fangge's memory.
It's just that for Qin Fangge, this can't be difficult for him at all!
Zhang Jie did not continue to play Goethe's Piano Concerto No. 1, but played Goethe's Fifth Ballade, and Qin Fangge guessed that this might be Zhang Jie's best repertoire.
This fifth ballade is also the most difficult of Goethe's five ballades. It is quite large, the most complex in structure, quite profound in content, and requires a very high level of skill and understanding of the music.
Qin Fangge himself has only played the first ballade, but he has still heard the recording of the fifth ballade, which is the version of the pianist Fran, who spent all his life and blood performing Goethe's works. Fran's master's master is Goethe, which is considered to be in the same lineage, and his grasp of Goethe's works is quite accurate.
This ballade is very long, as long as 12 minutes, and it is obvious that Zhang Jie has worked this song. This is not a concerto that can be performed without the need to work with an orchestra, and can be used as a repertoire for exams or performed in a concert on its own.
It's just that if you really want to play this narrative song well, it's really not that easy.
As Goethe's last ballade, he composed this piece when he was seriously ill at the age of forty, incorporating his understanding of life, such as love, such as death, such as hope, which is a classic that attaches equal importance to technology and emotion.
Zhang Jie is a young student in the end, and he wants to express such heavy emotions through the piano performance in this piece, which is somewhat reluctant.
Without the precipitation of the years and the lack of experience, his piano sound is a little floating. In terms of timbre, I couldn't grasp the best, especially since this is a multi-part work, and if you can't play the characteristics of each part, the whole piece will lose too much color. As for minor chords, octaves, such basic technical problems, if you can't solve them, you won't be able to play this piece at all.
If Qin Fangge was allowed to play it himself, it would definitely not be like this.
Goethe, who was threatened with a serious illness and felt the smell of death, could also be said to be reminiscing about the ups and downs of his life. The country he loved since he was a child was rich and beautiful, but when the war came, his family was ruined and he lived a miserable life in a foreign land. Even if there is a beautiful love in life, but in the end it ends without a problem, Goethe, a romantic musician, has also followed in the footsteps of many talented musicians, and does not have a complete family life. But Goethe is okay, his lover is at least divorced, and if he wants to fall in love with a married woman, the ending will be even more miserable.
Of course, musicians who have wives don't necessarily live happily and peacefully, some have wives who cheat, and even those who don't understand their husbands' careers and use precious manuscripts as firewood on the table.
I feel that few of these talented musicians have a satisfactory life in life, and poverty has always accompanied most of them.
But it is precisely with this kind of happiness that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, as well as ups and downs and tribulations, that they also create immortal musical chapters under the intense explosion of emotions and life.
Qin Fangge is a person who has experienced, and he has died, in the years when his soul wandered in endless darkness after death, he also looked back on his ordinary life, but in the end, what made him persist and not collapse was not the past, but his favorite music.
Zhang Jie is full of eyes in his eyes, at best, he is a big little brat, Qin Fangge watched his ostentatious performance, and he didn't bother with him.
After Zhang Jie finished playing this ballade, he also praised it, "Senior Brother Zhang's ballad is really good, the technique is not a problem for you at all, and the emotional handling is quite in place." ”
Zhang Jie still clearly recognizes his own level and knows how to be modest, "It is still too difficult to grasp the emotions in Goethe's works, too rich and profound." ”
Qin Fangge said that Goethe's works are quite good, at least so many masters have played them, and those who have studied and analyzed his works have also grasped a lot. Like Christopher, and many of Beethoven's works in another world, ordinary people play up, and it's really impossible to start.
Zhang Jie then continued to practice, and his favorite was Goethe, which was Goethe's second witticism.
It was he dedicated to Ellie, the daughter of the merchant Cannavaro, who financed him, which was quite common among musicians of the time. At that time, the main source of income for musicians was the remuneration received for playing in concerts, and the royalty tax collected for the release of music was only a minority. Goethe preferred to write at home rather than play at concerts, which was a very problematic source of income, and he had little savings, and in many cases, he had to rely on others to fund it, and there were too many places to spend money.
In addition to wealthy businessmen, Goethe's students often supported him, and he wrote many pieces for them. The most famous is Goethe's etudes, which can be said to have been specially tailored to his students.
This witty song is full of joy, full of rhythm, romantic and moving, and it is a song that many girls especially like. It also shows Luther's characteristics as a piano poet, of course, his melancholy and sensitive side, but it does not last long, more than 20 bars, and does not affect the overall beauty.
When Zhang Jie first played this witty song, he received a lot of applause and praise, and there were many girls' autumn waves.
After he finished playing, Qin Fangge praised two sentences as usual, and they were all very pertinent, as for what he lacked, Qin Fangge didn't say a word, it was not his responsibility, there were professors from the piano department of the Southwest Conservatory of Music to take care of him, and he didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Zhang Jie.
Zhang Jie turned to him and asked, "You are also going to play a Goethe work?"
Qin Fangge replied: "I didn't spend too much effort on Goethe's works, and I definitely can't compare with Senior Brother Zhang's, so I won't be ugly." ”
Zhang Jie said enthusiastically and expectantly, "It's okay, let's play a song casually!"
Qin Fangge said, "I really haven't practiced much, why don't I play Bard's fugue and discuss it with Senior Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Jie thought about it carefully, and then he didn't feel too reluctant, and got up and let him play.
Qin Fangge went to the piano again, he really didn't want to break Zhang Jie's dream, and it was not good for him to listen to him play Goethe's works, and then he would be sluggish, after all, he was a student of Professor Zeng.
The polyphonic fugue is something that every piano student must master, although most people are reluctant to take the initiative to play them, and are basically forced to practice by the teacher.
Zhang Jie thought in his heart that Qin Fangge was definitely a freak, he didn't play romantic works, but he played these old-fashioned things.
But when he really heard Qin Fangge play Patton's fugue, he was completely stunned, this fugue, Qin Fangge can play it so well, it's incredible.
Listening to Qin Fang's songs and playing the piano, it is really enjoyable, the feeling of full particles, smooth and free, and clear layers is impressive. What especially shocked him was that Qin Fangge could pop up every voice, even every note, in a variety of colors. The requirements for the performers are definitely top-notch.
In works such as fugue polyphony, emotion is not the main thing, it is mainly a work of practice. But just distinguishing the parts and playing them out in layers makes many piano students nerve-wracking, not to mention playing an absolute piano master-level like Qin Fangge.
This thing cannot be opportunistic, it is the perfect embodiment of basic kung fu.
Although Zhang Jie thinks very highly of himself, he still has the level of appreciating good and bad.
Zeng Li came back to his senses from the manuscript and listened to Qin Fangge's fugue, which gave him a very high evaluation.
It's a pity that Qin Fangge wouldn't dare to tell him about his own writing of preludes and fugues, otherwise, Zeng Li and Zhang Jie would definitely lose sleep that night.
