After seeing Cao Zhiqiang take the piano and try the piano, and said that he was fine, Reiko Ishiyama nodded, returned to his seat by himself, and began to sit down to drink water and rest.

After all, she had also consumed a lot of energy and physical strength before, and she also needed to take a break and drink some water to moisten her throat.

As soon as Professor Shishan left, the group of girls on the stage immediately surrounded Cao Zhiqiang, all of whom were excited.

No way, Cao Zhiqiang's current identity is the famous singer "Forest Green Spring", although they practice musical instruments, they are still young people, and they still like to chase stars, especially a talented, young and golden, good-looking teenager like Cao Zhiqiang, who is more favored by these female students.

It's just that Professor Ishiyama was next to them before, and they didn't dare to come over, but now as soon as Professor Ishiyama leaves, they are naturally fearless.

When these people came, they started chattering and asking questions.

Do you have a girlfriend, what kind of girls do you like, or what you like to eat, drink, where do you like to play, etc.

Anyway, it's just asking about hobbies and the like.,It's similar to the questions asked by ordinary star chasers.。

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang only smiled and answered what he could say, as for what he couldn't say, he just smiled and shook his head, and then said that it was inconvenient to answer.

Next, in order to let these girls stop asking irrelevant questions, Cao Zhiqiang simply talked to them about the band performance.

Playing a symphony is not that easy, it involves a lot of coordination, and it is definitely not just played according to the score.

The so-called one minute on stage, ten years off the stage.

The same is true for the members of the symphony orchestra.

It's just that compared with performing arts such as Peking Opera, which require special skills, the coordination of symphonies is relatively easier.

This is mainly due to the fact that most of the symphonies are played in a strict order.

In other words, a symphony orchestra is like an army, as long as it strictly follows the instructions of the commander and strictly does what it needs to play.

Of course, this kind of stereotypical performance may have fewer mistakes, but it does have less passion and change.

Only a band that truly cooperates with tacit understanding, like an arm-and-finger, can play a high-level symphony.

And if you want to achieve real tacit cooperation, such as arm and finger, in addition to practicing more and striving to achieve practice makes perfect, you also need a good conductor.

That's right, the most important person in the symphony is actually the conductor.

The conductor seems useless, as if without him, everyone can play smoothly according to the predetermined plan, but this is not the case.

The most important role of the conductor, in addition to checking and filling in the gaps, is to fine-tune the performance, and then use the fine-tuning to stir up the atmosphere.

So if there is a good conductor, even if the orchestra is of average level, it can play a symphony of a high standard.

Of course, if the level of the band is very poor, and even the basic coordination is not good, then it is useless for the conductor to be powerful.

For a conductor to be effective, the orchestra as a whole must meet the standard.

Obviously, the 36-member band in front of him is actually not up to standard.

But they can't be blamed, it's really that the time they have to get the score is too short, and the practice time is too little.

But Professor Ishiyama was an impatient, and it was obvious that he was getting a little impatient, so he became more and more stern.

In fact, in this case, there is no good solution, and the best solution is to find an excellent point, and then lead the area with points.

To put it simply, if the overall strength of a band is insufficient, then find a particularly strong lead player, usually a violinist or a pianist, and let this person be the lead player, and the people of other bands will cooperate.

In this way, the band becomes the background to cooperate with the lead player, and the pressure is relatively much less and much simpler.

Of course, Reiko Ishiyama knew this method, so she wanted to find a particularly powerful violinist to be the lead singer of this symphony.

It is said that Reiko Ishiyama can be the main violinist herself, but she still has to conduct, so naturally she can't be the main player.

Of course, there are other great violinists, but first, they are not familiar with this piece, and second, this piece is Cao Zhiqiang's, and if you change it without permission, you must tell him.

After thinking about it, Reiko Ishiyama thought that Cao Zhiqiang was also a very high-level violinist, so she called him over and wanted to cooperate with the performance to see the effect.

Reiko Ishiyama always felt that this piece should have had a main violinist, but without the main violinist, it always felt almost meaningless.

Don't say it, Reiko Ishiyama's feeling is right.

The song "He's a Pirate" given by Cao Zhiqiang really needs a main violinist.

Without the main violinist, the mood of this piece is a little worse.

In short, when Cao Zhiqiang and a group of girls confirmed each other's skills and feelings for the band's performance, the three-minute break soon came.

As soon as the time came, Mr. Ishiyama immediately put down the water glass and stood up, then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, girls, don't make trouble, it's time to rehearse!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the girls who surrounded Cao Zhiqiang and what I said immediately dispersed, ran back to their seats and sat down, and then picked up their musical instruments in a proper manner.

Seeing that everyone else was in place, Reiko Ishiyama nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Sang, it's your turn!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang also nodded, suddenly took off his coat, only wore his shirt, then picked up the violin, walked to the middle of the stage, turned his back to the band, and stood facing the stage.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang didn't put the violin on his neck in advance, but closed his eyes, held the piano and the bow in both hands, and hung down naturally, as if he was standing on the stump.

Cao Zhiqiang is not pretending, but relaxing his whole body, concentrating, and silently recalling the performance of David Gretel, who was known as the world's fastest violin prince in his previous life, when he played this piece.

Cao Zhiqiang has a top-notch violin to play systematically, and if he wants to speed it up, of course there is no problem.

However, the violin is not good to play fast enough, the key is to play the artistic conception.

In other words, you have to add your own understanding to the original melody, and then recreate it.

For example, if you deliberately pull a slow and lyrical piece, it can become another artistic conception full of tension.

Of course, this kind of adaptation is not a mess, the key is to understand it thoroughly first, and then adapt it according to the situation.

To put it bluntly, you must reach a certain level of skill before you can adapt the original music at will, and at this point, you are basically a professional-level performer.

One of the differences between amateur performers and professional performers is whether they can change different beats according to different needs and then interpret what they want to perform.

This kind of complete mastery of the expressiveness of a piece is completely different from the rigid examination.

Cao Zhiqiang's violin playing skills is completely fine.

After all, it is a top-notch violin performance, which means that he has turned playing the violin into an instinct, like breathing and drinking water.

It's like if you learn to ride a bike, and then you don't need to think about how to ride it, you just need to think about whether to ride faster or slower, whether to ride with one hand, or ride with both hands in a proper manner.

Anyway, when your cycling skills are already very good, you need to think about the bicycle itself, but how to ride the bicycle to the flower.

Cao Zhiqiang's violin performance is like an empowerment that is suddenly obtained, and although it is easy to play what he wants to interpret on the violin, he still needs a reference after all.

That's right, it's the referent, or the referent.

He can only find someone to imitate and imitate the other person's style and skills, and then he can find his own style on this basis.

When it comes to imitating violinists, Cao Zhiqiang's first thought is the fastest violinist in the world, David Gretel.

In fact, this David Gretel was also very controversial in his previous life, and the biggest controversy was his unstable performance.

When you play well, you can really reach the level of the top violinists, but when you don't play well, you are far from the top violinists.

But these are all so-called professional reviews.

Anyway, in the eyes of a layman like Cao Zhiqiang, his performance level is quite explosive, at least in terms of momentum, no one can beat him.

Cao Zhiqiang doesn't know what is professional or not, he only knows that David Gretel's performance is particularly sensitive, very good, far better than those professional violin masters, and this is enough.

Similar to him, there is also Chen Mei.

Chen Mei's violin performance is also equally explosive, and the scene is full of expressiveness.

As for the level of professionalism, it's hard for him to say, after all, he didn't know how to play the violin in his previous life.

But now that Cao Zhiqiang can play the top violin, he can naturally tell the difference between the violin masters and stars he saw in his previous life.

Judging from Cao Zhiqiang's current perspective, whether it is David Gretel or Chen Mei, the performance level of the violin is naturally not bad.

The reason why they are said to be not professional enough to be considered top violinists is mainly because they break the rules.

In other words, the violin techniques of these two people are not traditional classical violin performances, but have many modern elements and heavy performance traces.

This method of playing, in the eyes of some old-school violinists and critics, is naturally not enough style.

To put it bluntly, to say that they are of average level is just conformism.

Anyway, whether the profession is professional or not, the master is not a master, isn't that a handful of people having the final say, where are ordinary people qualified to comment?

is like Richard Clayderman, in fact, in Cao Zhiqiang's ears, his piano level is not bad at all, and in terms of sound, it is no worse than those piano masters.

However, the truth is, Richard Kleiderman just didn't win a decent piano award.

So, it's a question of an aesthetic audience.

When you look at it from the standpoint of the public, it is completely different from when you look at it from the standpoint of the minority.

From the standpoint of the public, it is enough to see whether you are handsome or not, whether the method of playing is explosive or not, and whether the music is good or not.

But in a niche position, they have to find faults, no matter how good you look and how expressive you are, it just depends on whether you play the subtleties enough, whether you can play some super difficult tunes well, and meet the standards in their hearts.

With Cao Zhiqiang's current strength and level, of course, he can also challenge those niche fields, after all, he has the strength of top-level violin performance, and it is not a big problem to challenge high-level professional awards.

But Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to do that.

In other words, after thoroughly understanding this difference, he dismisses those niche high-end fields.

What top international competitions, what masters are not masters, it's useless.

That kind of practice is actually just a small group of people raising their own worth.

Whether it is a violin or a piano, there is nothing noble or noble in itself, after all, it is just a musical instrument, and the purpose is only to facilitate the performance of music.

Essentially, people who play the piano are the same as people who code words.

It is nothing more than one expressed in music and the other in words.

Now that we understand this, the problem is simple, it is nothing more than a mass and a minority.

Niche things seem to be very powerful, but in fact, if they are separated from the public, they have little value in themselves.

Only those who can be accepted by the public and benefit the public can truly be immortal.

Let's talk about those famous songs, which one can not be accepted and praised by the public?

On the contrary, there are some particularly difficult exam repertoire, which ordinary people have never heard at all.

The kind of music that is difficult for the sake of being difficult is inherently difficult to listen to, except for exams, what is the use of daily life?

Now that he Cao Zhiqiang has a top-level instrument performance level, and there is no shortage of fame and money, he naturally has the right to choose, and he no longer has to deliberately curry favor with those niche judges, and then get some awards that look good, so as to prove himself to the world.

Yes, to participate in those so-called international competitions and win the so-called international gold medals, isn't the essence of to make a name for yourself?

It's not to make a name for yourself, you still have to fight for a hair, what gold and silver awards are there?

It was only after thinking about these that Cao Zhiqiang felt as if he had suddenly sublimated.

Yes, when you don't play the violin for fame and fortune, but just for better expression, you are already a master.

In the dark, Cao Zhiqiang felt as if something was broken in his heart, and he immediately felt comfortable and excited.

He didn't know if it was an epiphany, but it felt pretty good anyway.

At this moment, Reiko Ishiyama waved her baton and the prelude to the music sounded.

In the beginning, it was just a duo dominated by cello and supplemented by violin, and the sound was relatively small and the tempo was not too fast.

As more and more instruments were added, the music became louder and faster, and a feeling of a ship appearing in the distance, facing the wind, gradually moving from far to near.

Cao Zhiqiang continued to close his eyes and his hands drooped, but his fingers had begun to move unconsciously with the beat.

When he finally heard a certain rhythm, Cao Zhi opened his eyes violently, and then quickly set the piano and took the bow, and started an extremely exciting and lively vivace, that is, Allegro! (End of chapter)
