For other girls, erhu concertos such as "From the Army" are as meaningful as his performance of "Ambush on All Sides". They are very demanding of themselves and don't want to fall too far behind in this kind of majestic music, which is very touching and inspiring to them.

Before Qin Fangge came, they were all discussing this topic, there were already four erhu players, and among the other girls, there were many who knew erhu, but compared to Huang Jing and the others who specialized in erhu, it was still too much worse. Even Huang Jing, who has always been full of confidence, didn't dare to say that she could win it quickly, she had practiced it first in private. Another erhu genius, Kanako, is similar, and they can only blame Qin Fangge for being too perverted, when he was composing, he gave too many things and connotations to the music, not to mention, technically, it was a headache.

In Huang Jing's opinion, this is not only for Qian Shuyuan's technical characteristics, but also for them to challenge themselves when they learn erhu. In comparison, the song "War Horse Galloping" he took out earlier was much easier!

Qian Shuyuan is naturally satisfied with this, even if it requires her to use all her strength to challenge her own limits and overcome the weakest link in technology. It feels like a barrel, and how much water it can hold depends entirely on the shortest plank. And only by making up for the lack of technique can she achieve a qualitative change and achieve a leap in the level of performance. No matter how hard she puts in, she is willing, of course, this is based on the premise that she has to complete her daily studies and the orchestra's rehearsals, and the rest of the time can be used to practice this particularly imposing and difficult erhu concerto.

Xiao Yuran also came to join in the fun, but like Lin Baoqing and Zuo Shuqin and other girls, they didn't stay in the classroom for too long, and when they didn't get to a little bit, they each looked for a place to practice or go to the dormitory to rest. They didn't have a group rehearsal today, and they had to continue to have classes in the afternoon.

Qin Fangge stayed in the classroom with a few erhu players, closed the door and continued to discuss the piece. The length of the piece is also very difficult, and there are many emotions and emotions in it, which is far from being comparable to the erhu solo piece.

For example, there are many solos in it that are more difficult than the previous "War Horse Galloping" and the classic erhu Xuanji song "Horse Racing", and there are also sounds involving war horses, because it really depicts the soldiers who went out to fight on the battlefield and fought bloodily in the vast desert.

Put the "grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, and urge it immediately if you want to drink the pipa." It's not too much to substitute the artistic conception into it, because what is written is about the life of Biansai.

The poem "Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor in a Hundred Battles", expressed in the form of music, or interpreted, is definitely not something that can be completed with a few notes or a melody.

Qin Fangge still doesn't need to analyze what each movement says with them, for example, the first movement adagio mainly writes scenes and feelings, as written in the poem "From the Army", "Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at Yumen Pass." "The span of time and space is huge, and we can't simply analyze and find fault with how to see Yumen Pass from Qinghai and the like, the Western Regions are vast and vast, there are many ethnic groups, and the situation in the army is also quite complicated. In addition to the description of the scenery, the other focus is the parting feeling, and there are many related classic poems, whether it is "no one from Yangguan in the west" who sends people out of the stopper, or "The Chinese army returns to the guests with wine and drink, Huqin pipa and Qiang flute", or "There is no golden boudoir and thousands of miles of sorrow", this parting feeling, "The pipa dances for a new sound, and it is always the old farewell of the mountain".

The second movement of the Allegro mainly describes the life of the soldiers in the border fortress, the desert wind and dust, the yellow sand hundred battles, or the night battle raid, or the dignified and upright, there are not only the grand cavalry duel scene, but also the bloodless attack of the division.

Finally, the third movement is a slow movement, in which the soldiers' expectations and confusion about the future, their longing for their family's hometown, their enthusiasm and ambitions, and the contradiction between ideals and reality are also concentrated in the last movement.

The Erhu Concerto of about half an hour, each movement is about ten minutes, which is relatively long, and it also allows Qin Fangge to calmly compose everything he wants to express in the form of music. After he finished composing, it was up to Qian Shuyuan and how they played, unlike the audience, as performers, they deeply understood the content and connotation of music, and then conveyed these things to the audience through the performance of music.

What Qin Fangge wants them to grasp, in the final analysis, it still comes to the music itself. It can't just be just words, "I want to express the homesickness of the Cypriot soldiers......" must be implemented in the actual musical performance, and it can't just be the tune, rhythm, key, speed, dynamics, and so on of the previous folk music. His erhu concertos are more integrated with the composition techniques of Western music, in melody, rhythm, harmony, chords, texture, polyphony, structure and other things, especially the orchestra part responsible for the concerto.

Even the erhu solo part is very different from traditional folk music, and the difficulty has increased a lot.

But whether it is Huang Jing and Kanako, who are relatively talented, or Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu, they are all very interested in this, and they are all determined to practice well. The four of them often communicate and learn together, and they are not afraid to talk about their talents. For example, Kanako has a father who is an erhu master, not to mention that she has a good foundation since she was a child, and her own talent is quite high, don't look at her as a freshman like Qin Fangge, but to say that the performance level of the erhu series is higher than that of Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu in the third year of college today, it is an indisputable fact, and the speed at which she practices new songs and learns is also faster than them.

Although Huang Jing is not from a folk music family, her father's erhu did it after she learned erhu, but she has good talent, only one grade higher than Kanako, but her level is not comparable to her.

The girls have a clear and definite understanding of the issue of musical talent, and after Qin Fangge was born, it also attracted a lot of hatred, and a genius like Huang Jing Kanako is nothing at all. This is basically innate, and what can change the day after tomorrow is their own efforts, among them, learning methods, practice methods, etc. are quite important, one of the key points is the guidance of famous teachers, which can make people take fewer detours.

In addition, Huang Jing and Kanako are not selfish, and they have a very good relationship with Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu, and when they play in the orchestra, they also need several erhu to work together, and if any erhu has a problem, it will be particularly prominent.

Moreover, several of them are also the key objects of attention of Teng Shuting, the leader of the orchestra, Zuo Shuqin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their erhu players are the foundation of the orchestra. It's not enough to have a good relationship, you have to have a tacit understanding and cooperate well.

Also, there is only one other musical instrument like the guzheng dulcimer or something, only their erhu is four.

After the other girls left, Qin Fangge emphasized the details with them, which was in line with his usual communication or teaching style. He also did not shy away from emphasizing to them, "No one can violate the physical sound principle of music, no matter how emotional, it must be achieved through the vibration of the bowstring in the hand, and how to achieve it must be found out through diligent practice day after day." ”

The example is also very simple, just like a beginner, playing a simple emotion but technically demanding piece like "Horse Racing", the effect is not comparable to Huang Jing's performance, let alone those erhu masters.

Qin Fangge also emphasized that if you concentrate on practice, you must have gains, which is also the inevitable result of his emphasis on details, "You can set small goals for yourself, and then gradually achieve these small goals." It's better to practice without thinking than to do something else. At your level and level, I don't think you're going to settle for muscle memory alone, are you?"

Huang Jing also gave him a roll of his eyes, feeling that what he said was nonsense, and it was something he had emphasized many times. But Qin Fangge still has to say that it is not that he deliberately poured water, but it is really impossible to emphasize it too much, especially for Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu, it is also to ask them not to slack off, they have to use their brains when practicing, it is easy to practice without brains, and it will be difficult to think seriously. He also has a solution, one of which is that he wants them to memorize the music first, including music theory and structural analysis, etc., and then, strive to have a new harvest every time, the ears will not lie, if they even lie to themselves, Qin Fangge really has nothing to say. And then there's, "It's perfectly possible to play and sing at the same time, and that's a very good way to do that!"

As for other details such as dynamics, angles, speeds, heights, etc., they are the most specific details, and these are also things that they must remember. Some people may want to ask what to do if they can't remember, then practice more, the same as memorizing music, there is no other way!

Of course, Qin Fangge did not forget to talk about his own identity as a composer, and his requirements for the performers were also quite high, he had asked them to memorize the score, teach them to think from the perspective of a composer, and then practice. For example, what is the purpose of the composer using this chord here, why is he using such a texture, what is the meaning of each harmony, etc.?

Huang Jing and the others also nodded, the performance of the performers must not be divorced from the purpose of the composer and be angry by temperament, especially Qin Fangge, the composer, is still alive and beside them.

Of course, Qin Fangge did not completely use the identity of the composer to suppress them, but was serious and rigorous, and analyzed and communicated with them realistically through the music scores he wrote. This is also of great benefit to Huang Jing and Qian Shuyuan, whether it is playing Qin Fangge's music or some other classic folk music in the future, it can be carried out in this way.

The so-called no comparison, no harm, Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu felt this most deeply, and Qian Shuyuan, who felt that she had benefited a lot, also said again, "It's really better to listen to your words than to read for ten years! When the teacher taught me before, he had never been so meticulous......

Qin Fangge explained this because they were not composers, but Huang Jing felt, "Maybe they haven't summed up an effective method, as they often say, they need to think about it with their own hearts!"

Kanako said, "Actually, it's not difficult to think of, the key is perseverance." ”

Feng Lulu also said, "I think another reason is the lack of reference standards, and the teachers themselves are not sure what the best performance looks like." As long as there is a slight deviation, it is really a millimeter of difference, and it is a thousand miles wrong!"

Their enthusiasm for learning is quite high, and it is also the result of competition and communication. Qin Fang's song loves to emphasize details, and naturally it is clearer that there is no exactly the same music in the world, and he himself cannot say that the performance or singing of completely reproduced feelings will always be a little different, and there are many reasons, except for more metaphysical things such as mood state. Even if you play on the same piano, it is impossible to make the details exactly the same every time, and neither can the gods!

Fortunately, Qin Fangge is not particularly entangled in this, otherwise he would really not be able to get out of the horns.

The same is true for the performance of their four erhu players, they use different erhus, and this alone determines that there must be differences in the performance of the same song. It's the same for Qin Fangge, a genius, the instruments are different, and the different materials are also determined, even if they are the same performance, the pronunciation is always different.

Huang Jing and the others are also smart people, so naturally they will not die and force themselves into a dead end. It is impossible for them to be as good as Qin Fangge, and several people are also impressed by his finger control ability, and Qian Shuyuan even said, "Hey, if only your hands grew on me!"

Kanako and the others all giggled and said that everyone thought so, and Qin Fangge also smiled and laughed.

Everyone got serious, and time passed very quickly, but the progress of the erhu concerto was not so fast, Qin Fangge also communicated with them about the first movement, and the specific exercises still had to be carefully studied and pondered by themselves, he could make some demonstrations for them to make a reference, but there was no way to practice for them and turn these things into their own.

Qian Shuyuan and Huang Jing were also quite satisfied with this, and they also laughed at Qin Fangge, a busy person, and it was not easy for him to find this time. Qin Fangge also laughed at himself for making his stall too big and a little difficult to clean up.

Huang Jing debunked him, "You yourself are simply enjoying it, okay! Also, we have so many beautiful girls with you, if you still dislike it, be careful of being beaten!"

Qin Fangge laughed, "Senior Sister Huang Jing, you convinced me!"

was treated by Huang Jing as insincere, but she was angry, saying that she still had to invite him to dinner for dinner, and let him go directly to the small fried department of the cafeteria after class, and he also nodded and agreed.
