Chapter 320: Contemplative Variations
Behind Kim Joong Ki is the accompaniment piano, played by Mak Xuanlin, concise and dynamic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Several teachers from the conservatory glanced at each other and nodded secretly, Kim Joong Ki's performance level can be said to be superb, especially the vibrato technique of the upper and lower fingers, which is very ingenious and unique.
Kim Joong Ki was immersed in the music, and in the contact between his fingertips and the strings, it seemed that there was a real scene of larks singing in the mountains and forests, and the sun was shining, and the scenery was presented in front of the audience.
After more than three minutes of music, Kim Joong Ki put away his bow, proudly greeted the audience, and his eyes fell on Song Baojun, as if to say: Is the little rabbit cub served?
Thunderous applause resounded through the golden hall, like a whirlwind, sweeping everyone.
The audience stood up and cheered, and Song Baojun saw that even Teacher Tu Fen stood up, so he had to stand up. Lin Zhenxian leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Song, what do you think of his performance?" ”
Because the applause was too loud, Lin Zhenxian had to cling to Song Baojun to make the other party hear clearly, and his soft lips almost rubbed against his ears, and his posture was particularly intimate.
"Good guys!" Kim Joong Ki had another evil fire in his heart, and said into the microphone: "My performance is over, Song Baojun, can you comment?" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Song Baojun again, and more than 30 cameras at the scene were all transferred.
Kim Joong Ki ostensibly asked him to "comment", but in fact it was a challenge. Song Baojun can answer, but if he can't, he is afraid that he will be driven out of the golden hall on the spot.
Soon someone handed the microphone over.
"Mr. King's violin is very good." Song Baojun said: "The materials are of high quality, the pitch is excellent, and it is handmade by Master Hewlett of the Beshaw Li Chai Workshop......"
Speaking of this, Kim Joong Ki couldn't help but pick up the violin and take a closer look, and sure enough, he found a faint pattern at the bottom of the resonance box, which was the unique mark of Master Hewlett. Song Baojun was five or six meters away from the stage, and he had never touched the violin, but he could see at a glance who was working on it, and this eyesight was really clever.
But Kim Joong Ki quickly reacted and said, "I'm not asking you about the craftsmanship of the violin. ”
Media reporters and some of the student spectators burst into laughter.
Song Baojun said: "Except for the quality of the violin, there is nothing to say. You do have a little bit of skill in your playing, that's all. ”
Kim Joong Ki stopped the restlessness of the media reporters and said angrily: "Only a little skill? How dare you say it! It seems that what is so good about my playing, you really don't know! ”
The media reporters continued to stare at Song Baojun, and even Lin Zhenxian showed a suspicious look in his eyes.
"You have to find a good place, well, the vibrato technique is really good, you can know that you have been professionally practiced and have a good grasp of the content of the repertoire."
Tu Fen and several other music teachers around him nodded.
"What else?" Kim Joong Ki asked.
"And then there's the downside." Song Baojun held the microphone and said with a smile: "First of all, the timbre is too bright, it shows the sky, it is a bit noisy, and the theme of the lark has been suppressed." Second, you have a slight defect in your left ring finger, and the force of the string is not enough, which causes two of the vibratos to deviate, and I guess you may have been injured......"
Speaking of this, Kim Joong Ki's face changed slightly. When filming an action scene the year before last, his left ring finger was fractured due to insufficient safety measures, but he had already recovered as before, and he didn't expect the other party's eyesight to be so vicious. That little nuance is probably not heard by the most professional musicians in the world.
Song Baojun continued: "Third, one minute and twenty-three seconds of a glissando, you don't understand it thoroughly? ”
"Where? I think it's good! Kim Joong Ki shouted unconsciously.
"You take it for granted that this portamento should show the playfulness and cuteness of the lark, but it could be lower." Song Baojun said: "Fourth, I don't know if you are very excited, your attitude is too serious, strive for perfection, the whole music seems to be overworked, not easy at all, which makes me uncomfortable." ”
"Uh......" Kim Joong Ki was already a little speechless.
"Fifth, well, forget it, that's it." Song Baojun looked like he would save some face for you, and said with a smile: "In addition to the above points, your performance is okay, up to professional level, but there is still a long way to go to the hall, if you practice hard for ten years and eight years in the future, it is possible." ”
Tu Fen and several music teachers nodded slightly, what Song Baojun said was actually what they thought, but due to the enthusiasm of the Sanqiu Group to invest and send money, it was inconvenient to export, so as not to hurt the face of both parties.
The reporters shouted, "Oba, is he right?" ”
Kim Joong Ki was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly shouted, "Hey, you are talking about the Tao, you can't just talk about it, right?" Everyone can comment on empty words, and have the ability to perform on stage? ”
The reporters immediately followed suit: "Yes, it's all about it, how much real talent do you have?" It's better to perform on stage and let everyone judge. ”
Lin Zhenxian also looked expectant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, uh...... Can you put on a show for all of us? ”
Song Baojun originally planned to refuse, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth when he thought that accompanying Lin Zhenxian to carry out activities was an important task today.
With his current personality that is gradually fused with the thirty-two personalities, he is not very interested in accompanying Lin Zhenxian, the problem is the promise of Vice Principal Wei Mingming, and getting an excellent certificate to take home to the old man at the end of the semester is the most important thing.
Previously, Song Baojun boasted to his parents about Haikou, saying how many awards he had received and how many praises he had received from his mentors, but there was no real evidence, which made Song Shixian very dissatisfied - he couldn't boast to his neighbors.
Song Baojun is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is most afraid of the old man's nagging, so he must get the outstanding student award certificate at the end of this term, no matter who is standing in front of him.
"Okay, I'll put on a show." Song Baojun walked onto the stage with an understated look, and several cameramen chased after him, trying to capture the ignorant student trembling and ugly under the camera.
Kim Joong Ki saw that Song Baojun was really excited to come on stage, handed over the violin and sneered: "I look forward to your performance." ”
According to the grading level, Kim Joong Ki should be regarded as the top five percent of the students in the Conservatory, and it is hard to believe that there are still students in the Chinese Department who are better than him in violin performance.
However, seeing Song Baojun's posture holding the piano, he quickly put away his smile: Song Baojun's posture is too professional, holding the piano and holding the bow are as if he has eaten in this industry for ten years.
It is important to know that the bow holding gesture of the violin is very particular, as long as there is a slight difference, it will look clumsy and unsightly, and suddenly lose the elegance that a violinist should have.
And the beauty of the violinist is vividly reflected from the moment Song Baojun took over the violin.
I saw him standing with his left foot as the center point, his right foot stretched out about two-thirds of the whole foot along the tip of his toe, his legs were naturally straight, his upper body remained upright, his head was slightly raised, and his shoulders were slightly tilted.
Song Baojun didn't wait for the audience to react, so he pulled up.
A long tone dragged out, appearing low-key, dull, and depressing. Song Baojun's left fingers regularly pressed on the strings.
Tu Fen sighed and said, "It's "Meditation Variations", a very difficult piece, when did he learn it?" ”
With another transposition, Song Baojun's hand speed began to quicken, and the skeleton of the theme was a four-bar bass.
Kim Joong Ki slowly put away his contemptuous expression and stood on the edge of the stage, holding his chin in his hand, quietly watching the other party's performance.
Some of the previously noisy media reporters also knew the rhythm of music and were very smart to keep their mouths shut. The performance of the performers on stage is far different from what they call "ignorant students".
After the prelude was excessive, Song Baojun began to make repeated changes in the bass of the fourth bar. Each time it changes, the upper part of the voice is undergoing a variety of processing.
Sometimes the melody descends twice in a row, like a sighing tone; Sometimes the melody is staccato and staccato, like a whimpering and sobbing sound; Sometimes there are continuous dissonant intervals, highlighting the emotions of tension and pain; Sometimes the melody progresses chromatically, expressing a poignant and sad mood.
This immersive way of playing makes the audience feel like they are in the middle of it, and strong emotions surround each other.
In particular, the string notes, which gradually become stronger and more urgent, quickly take the listener to a new level.
After many repetitions, the rhythm is as fast as the rise and fall of a sewing machine, making it impossible to breathe, in stark contrast to the previous dullness.
And Song Baojun's gesture was so fast that people couldn't open their eyes, just afraid that if they were not careful, they would be burned by the light on the stage.
"Good guys!" Kim Joong Ki couldn't breathe, and in this dazzling performance, Song Baojun used a variety of extremely difficult techniques, such as double overtones, continuous bows, bow throws, special tunings, left-handed plucking techniques, double notes and complex chords, and long-distance jumps of the fingers of the left hand on the fretboard.
"Joachim!" Tu Fen couldn't help blurting out.
The other audience members didn't know why, but a few music professors around them understood that Song Baojun's playing style was somewhat similar to that of Joachim, a representative figure of the German academic school, and he was good at using extraordinary performance skills to faithfully reproduce the musical connotation of the work.
But Tu Fen quickly shook his head and shouted, "Berio! ”
Once again, the media reporters were confused.
The music professor listened carefully and seemed to have the feeling that Song Baojun was like Berio, the founder of the Belgian violin school, with a perfect combination of brilliant technique and elegant style.
After a stormy scale, the music gradually sooths and becomes quiet and silent. When the last note falls, it's as if a person has fallen into a deep sleep.
