Chapter Eighty-Six: Prelude
The Shangxi Concert Hall was designed by the famous designer Dong Guowu, and the architectural style belongs to the rare European traditional style in the SH area. The sixteen ochre-colored marble cylinders in the lounge hall are extraordinary, and the composition of the audience hall is simple and standardized, complex and not chaotic, rich in layered changes, solemn and elegant colors, and has an amazing unity with the classical music it interprets. The natural sound is excellent, and has been recognized by architectural experts and many Chinese and foreign artists.
Over the decades, the Shanghai Opera Concert Hall has witnessed the successful performances of countless well-known musicians and concerts of various forms on the stage, as well as the spectacular scene of the classical music boom of the 80s.
Wang Ji, a professor at the Institute of Acoustics of the Department of Architecture of Fudan University, said, "Generally speaking, the sound effect of the narrow boot type concert hall is the best, which helps to enhance the early reflection sound, so that the music is clearer and more concentrated, while the Shangju concert hall has a similar shape and good sound quality", "The most important indicator to judge the quality of the concert hall is the reverberation time, the reverberation time is long, the music is full and round, on the contrary, it is monotonous and shriveled, but if it is too long, it will affect the clarity." ”
Whether it is a band performance or an opera performance, the large-span dome restores the real timbre, and with excellent audio equipment, the timbre is full, the music is mellow, and the effect is amazing. The price of the concert hall is high, but the art you can feel is priceless
The famous conductor Chen Xieyang has visited countless concert halls around the world, and he believes that "in addition to the top three concert halls in Vienna, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Boston Concert Hall, in terms of sound quality, the Shanghai Opera Concert Hall can compete with any concert hall." ”
The Shangxi Concert Hall has 1,122 seats, including 640 downstairs and 482 upstairs, with a frame stage depth of 8.35 meters and a width of 16 meters, and a usable stage area of about 100 square meters. There is an adjustable reverberation board above the stage, equipped with a Steinway D-274 grand piano, a 60-way dimming station, a set of 24-way Yamaha tuning speakers, and 16 microphone sockets, complete with air conditioning and heating.
This is the glorious place where musicians can take the stage, and today it will usher in its first exam since its birth, and it is only a re-examination of the art exam.
Because of the big trouble, now the school leaders know that there is a problem with the re-examination of the piano department, Li Yunling applied to the principal to use the concert hall for public examinations, because there are also many reporters and parents outside the school, for the sake of the school's reputation, the principal agreed to the request, although he felt that it was not appropriate.
Exams in concert halls will be very stressful for candidates. Not to mention the solemn stage, the audience of more than 1,000 people alone will break the nervous nerves of the candidates who are difficult to load.
But in order not to evolve things into **, and in order to further deepen the image of Wei Guangzheng who has been in the drama for a hundred years. The principal still agreed, maybe in such an extreme examination environment, can the true level of the candidates be tested?
Pei Yanchen followed the flow of people and walked towards the Shangju Concert Hall, it was not a large-scale performance, and the Shangju Concert Hall was rarely open, after all, the things inside were top-notch equipment, not a place for students to have fun.
Only when various masters or first-class symphony orchestras from home and abroad come, will the doors be opened. Obviously, this public examination is also a crisis public relations, and many media have come to interview it.
All the banners made by Pei Yanchen's congregation were also confiscated, and the cadres of the student union were organizing students interested in watching the public exams to enter. Most of them come to join in the fun, not for the purpose of appreciating music, and they take it for granted that high school students' piano performances can be good.
The re-examination of the piano department is divided into three examination rooms, when Li Yunling passed, there were about 20 people in the three examination rooms, and the current public examination is to merge the remaining 20 people in the three examination rooms together, in fact, most of them are foils, and everyone is rushing to Cheng Xiaoyu to see how this public enemy of the drama died in the vast sea of the masses.
The Shangju Concert Hall, which can accommodate more than 1,000 people, is now full, and there are student unions around to maintain order.
Fan Yuewen, the tall and elegant principal of the opera, first took the stage and delivered a brief speech: "Dear teachers, students, candidates, parents and enthusiastic people who care about the opera, hello everyone. First of all, thank you for your concern about the show. Secondly, we apologize for the shortcomings of the school's work. Hopefully, this public exam won't be too late.
Since its founding in 1898, Shangju has been an institution of higher learning that is open to the world and the world. During the period when the Academy of Chinese Opera moved westward, it maintained international academic ties and won the reputation of "Oriental Vienna" for its achievements in running the school, and won the reputation of "Oriental Vienna"; after the establishment of Huaxia, the first batch of universities of Xinshangju organized a delegation to visit the United States and took the lead in restarting international cooperation and exchanges...... Shanghai Opera has always adhered to the school motto of seeking truth and innovation and embracing all rivers, actively promoted the prosperity of music, social development and the progress of human civilization, and never stopped climbing the peak of world music and building a world-class university.
Students, what we want to cultivate is a high-quality innovative talent with an international vision and a future music master. An international perspective means being open-minded and inclusive, developing a global mind, understanding multiculturalism, and confidently learning and performing with people from different national backgrounds.
Students, as a principal and senior, I am very happy to work with you to create a better future. Let's work together for our music, for our world, for our future!
I also wish all the candidates present to give their best performance, and the drama will always be open to those who pursue the ultimate in music.
Thank you. ”
There was a round of applause from the audience. The personable principal was also a professor of Western music and graduated from the Conducting Department.
Most of the students in the school still recognize the school, but Cheng Xiaoyu has been very popular for a while, his notoriety is far and wide, and his PS pictures are flying all over the Internet, and many people come to satisfy their curiosity.
At this time, Cheng Xiaoyu had not yet gone to the opera concert hall, he went out to school to buy music scores, although he remembered the music he wanted to play, but this score was too complicated, and the whole performance was logically beyond the limits of human beings. He wasn't sure that he couldn't get the slightest difference, so he had to watch the music play.
found two stores that sold music scores outside the school, but they hadn't bought them yet, so Cheng Xiaoyu was a little anxious. He didn't want to be defeated without a fight.
At this time, under the auspices of the student council, the public examination has begun.
The first to take the stage was a short boy, who was probably playing the D-274 grand piano for the first time, and he seemed quite excited, so he had to take a picture as a souvenir, but he didn't seem to be nervous.
The short boy bowed to the audience, adjusted his stool, took a deep breath and began to play.
He played Beethoven's enthusiastic third movement for the first time.
The third chapter of "Passion" is the ** part of the whole piece, in F minor, 2/4 time and not too much allegro, and this chapter is sonata-style. At the beginning of the piece, the marching battle horn is used as an introduction, and it is striking that the piece uses a continuous minus seventh chord, which gives people a strong sense of intenseness, tension and uneasiness, and Beethoven did not fail to adopt the corresponding solution technique in the repertoire, so that people were greatly encouraged by the spirit, and the feeling of drowsiness was instantly taken away by the intense music.
The third chapter of the "Passion" Sonata is a piano piece full of positive and high-pitched spirit. Not only is the audience baptized in the process of listening, but the performer deeply feels the author's mood when he is composing. Because of this, this piece puts a relatively high demand on the player.
If you play this song well, you can use it to get a graduate school performance degree. If you don't play well, children in grades 9-10 can also mix it up.
But apparently this candidate's performance is quite good. The most important thing in the whole piece is to grasp the speed, fast or not is secondary. (The speed is divided into fast and slow, which is for the speed symbol that has been marked.) Fast is also relative, but there is no reference to it alone. )
His ten fingers swept over the keys like a hurricane, and his hands fluttered like petrels on the undulating waves of the keyboard - the stormy melody of the "Passion Sonata" expresses the heroic tragic theme of the musician: a struggling "I" and a cowardly "I" are wrestling and fighting, sending out a volcanic eruption like a stone bursting into the sky, the powerful "I" rushes forward with unstoppable force, and the weak "I" falls in the midst of a mournful cry from time to time...... People are captivated by the passion of music.
The timbre of the whole piece is also full of passion, and the use of various techniques is also quite skillful.
Because the difficulty of enthusiasm is still very high, and the first candidate to go on stage showed a relatively high level, which made the students who took time to watch the boring exams overjoyed, and felt that it was not bad to watch a piano competition.
