Chapter 258: Against the Tide 2
At noon, Chang Yue went to invite his senior brother and two cellists and a timpani to eat French food. Cheng Xiaoyu and Wu Fan didn't go and solved it in the cafeteria.
At noon, when Chang Yue returned to the dormitory, he borrowed an orchestral room from his brother, and the environment of the professional orchestral room was much better than that of the mixed piano room.
Cheng Xiaoyu helped Chang Yue contact the girl in Duanmu Linsha's bedroom, and Chang Yue himself called Liu Kunmiao and Jiang Zhongzhi.
made an appointment to meet at the Conservatory of Music, Chang Yue took the key and took Cheng Xiaoyu and Wu Fan to the Conservatory of Music.
Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh when he entered the piano room, the piano was still Steinway's, the room was spacious and bright, and the brown wooden floor was paved. There were a lot of chairs in the room, and Chang Yue organized people to help the timpani move the drums.
When everyone arrived, Cheng Xiaoyu took a look at the current establishment of six violins, two cellos, a piano, a timpani, and Cheng Xiaoyu's original guitar, not even a small orchestra.
Before entering the university, the freshmen rarely participated in the ensemble, so they didn't know the rehearsal process, but fortunately, the cellist and timpani were all old students, and Cheng Xiaoyu, who had a black line, went through the process first, played it once, and then deducted the details.
Because there is no command, the timing of the entry is entirely up to me. A group of rookies hurriedly went into battle and stumbled down for the first time, and the result was of course miserable, and even the melody of the song was expressed.
And after listening to it for the first time, Cheng Xiaoyu felt a little wrong, as if he had overlooked something.
When he walked the second time, he realized that he had forgotten that he still needed a few French horns when he was in the music, although there were only a few notes to be played, but he couldn't do without.
He felt a pain in his eggs, but it wasn't too much of a hassle, provided he could find help from a brass professional.
The third time it came down, it was much smoother, after all, all of them were professional students who could be admitted to the play. Even though there is no conductor, they all know to follow the rhythm of the timpani. As soon as the melody was harmonious and smooth, everyone immediately had the feeling that their ears were about to be pregnant. Because the melody is so beautiful, and wave after wave, it is completely different from the tedium and boredom of playing classical music.
The difficulty of playing is actually not very high, but the important thing is the rhythm. Huang Manni and Wu Fan often get the entry and exit points wrong in a few of their violins. Chang Yue's violin playing skills can only be said to be above the level, and they are not outstanding, but fortunately, the difficulty of the piece is really not high.
A few times he started playing, Cheng Xiaoyu was embarrassed to point out the mistakes of everyone he heard, but because during the performance, the musicians could barely hear themselves and their neighbors. So it's hard to realize your mistakes.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know how much he had rebellious ears, and found that others still hadn't improved later, so he could only stand up and say which point each person who went in the wrong way was wrong, and told them when they should enter.
A few people who were pointed out to be wrong walked through with a puzzled face, and the effect was really much better, and it was logical for Cheng Xiaoyu to stand up and help everyone deduct the details.
Because the music is played without vocals, let alone lyrics, the expression of emotions is mainly done through changes in speed and intensity. Some places that need to be slowed down and accelerated, with what acceleration to slow down and speed up?
Logically speaking, this should be the conductor to tell all the musicians, but in the absence of a conductor, it is up to you to understand the music. Obviously, the person who has the deepest understanding of music here is Cheng Xiaoyu.
So Cheng Xiaoyu began to summarize the mistakes of this rehearsal after each practice, and his tone was quite gentle, so the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
Fortunately, this is not a symphony orchestra with a small number of people, and the real symphony orchestra rehearsals, if they make mistakes, they have to be taken out by the conductor alone for half a day, which is also quite a self-respecting thing.
After the performance is getting better and better, and everyone has discovered the fun of concerto, at this time, everyone's eyes are different when they look at Cheng Xiaoyu, and everyone feels that they can ** after playing it again.
And Cheng Xiaoyu can write such a passionate and beautiful melody. The arrangement is also perfectly done. Huang Manni and Qi Yiwen finally understood why Duanmu Linsha looked at Cheng Xiaoyu differently, and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with a guitar on his back with a complicated expression.
Rehearsing such a piece of music made everyone feel a great joy. When senior cellists Liu Yang and Li Zhaohua and timpani player Ling Yun learned that this was Cheng Xiaoyu's work, they also shook hands with Cheng Xiaoyu. Say it's an honor to play your work.
As the rehearsal progressed, everyone felt more and more that Cheng Xiaoyu was powerful, and in addition to playing by himself, he had to carefully observe the performance of others, not only did he not make mistakes, but he could also accurately say whose free extension notes were not in place, too long or too short.
Chang Yue finally couldn't help but say, "I really didn't believe that there was a genius in this world before. Now I believe it. ”
When Duanmu Linsha heard this, her heart was a little excited, her expression was very happy, but her heart was a little uneasy.
When a group of people stopped to rest after practicing for a long time, sweating profusely, Cheng Xiaoyu and Chang Yue went to the bathroom.
After the convenience was done, when washing his hands, the handsome boy who came in front of him, Cheng Xiaoyu felt familiar at first glance, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the boy he had seen in the morning.
He heard the boy say to the shirt man next to him, "The third row is the "Violin Concerto No. 5", and the "Violin Concerto in D Major" by Lao Chai in our row is even more difficult than them.
The man in the shirt next to him said, "It doesn't matter if you are a first-year novice, don't you all come here like this? I'm afraid that the junior year will be a little embarrassed this year." ”
"Not necessarily, we didn't get abused as a violin major last year. The handsome guy said with a little pride while lifting his pants.
"Cut, that's not because of Pei Yanchen! I was here during this year's exam, and there is nothing particularly outstanding in the violin department. ”
"It's okay to be abused in the freshman year, we are abused every day! Teacher Xu, as soon as you talk about it, you have to talk about how Pei Yanchen is. The man in the shirt also lifted his pants and walked towards the sink.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned off the faucet and walked out of the bathroom.
"Aren't you chasing her?" said the man in the shirt to the handsome guy again.
The handsome guy shook his head while washing his hands and said, "Hey, it's all tears when you talk too much, the competition is too fierce, and I haven't made an appointment once." ”
It's a pity that Cheng Xiaoyu cared about the important content behind this, and he left without hearing it at all......
Chang Yue waited at the door of the bathroom and said, "Squad leader, why are you washing your hands, it's almost the same time as taking a bath?"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, ignored Chang Yue's question, and asked, "Do you know where your sophomore year is rehearsing?"
Chang Yue asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to take a peek!" Cheng Xiaoyu said disapprerovingly.
"It seems to be at 309, not far from our piano room. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it, and couldn't help but be curious: "Wait a minute, let's take a peek!"
"What are you going to peek at? Look at the back of the building, it's a big rehearsal room. Just be careful when you open and close the door, no one will care about us. Chang Yue smiled and said.
"Okay, why don't you call all of you violin department over and have a look?" Cheng Xiaoyu felt that this was also an opportunity to gain experience.
So Chang Yue went to call Huang Manni and them, and the violin learners all came, Duanmu Linsha also came, but the senior cellist and timpani player did not come.
Cheng Xiaoyu and seven or eight of them quietly pushed the door in from the back and no one paid attention to them, there were other people standing behind the rehearsal room watching, and the sophomore students who were rehearsing were sitting on chairs with their backs to them.
Before the rehearsal began, Chang Yue said softly to Cheng Xiaoyu, "When Lao Chai's "Violin Concerto in D Minor" first came out, because the violin technique was not perfect at that time, this work was considered extremely difficult and impossible to interpret. In the first decade of the twentieth century, only a few people were able to perform publicly. ”
After a pause, Chang Yue said again: "And many of today's violinists can only mechanically perform according to the original score, I don't know if Senior Sister Pei, as the chief, can control it!"
At this time, the sophomore performance began, and suddenly it was the third movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't hear the words that Chang Yue whispered behind him clearly, and his mind was full of the back of the chief violin standing at the front, which was the girl in the A-line skirt he saw this morning.
It's just a pity that he still has his back to Cheng Xiaoyu, so he can't see his appearance clearly.
