"Kapustin!"

Fu Tiao took two steps forward and hugged him, patted Kapustin Xi'an's thin shoulder, and said in surprise.

"Professor Kapustin, I didn't expect you to come to the Berlin University of the Arts."

"I'm on secondment."

Kapustin looked at Fu Tune with a smile, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly.

"To be precise, I chatted with the organizing committee of the Berlin University of the Arts, and expressed the possibility that I want to come to the Berlin University of the Arts to teach, for about five years, mainly to teach some of my works, and my school was also assigned to the composition school according to my ideas."

"School of Composition?"

Fu Tiao thoughtfully groped his chin and nodded.

Sure enough, as he thought, Kapustin did not go directly to the Jazz Academy to teach Jazz.

After all, he wasn't a jazz musician at all.

But for others and the classical music world as a whole, although many people are willing to respect his ideas and call him a classical composer, in fact, many people perform his works basically according to the jazz method.

This also made him inexplicably one of the most representative musicians in jazz today.

Kapustin pointed behind him and smiled: "The composition department of the Berlin University of the Arts is still good, I have met a lot of old friends here, and I have talked a lot about music with them before, and I found that those old friends' thoughts on music have not changed much, as if time has never put a trace on them, which is emotional...... By the way, do you know the people from the composition department of the Berlin University of the Arts? ”

Fu Tiao shook his head slightly, continued to walk in the direction of the chamber music concert hall, and said casually: "No, I don't know, I just know that Berlin University of the Arts has a composition department, and I also know that the group of people in it are very powerful, and their professional level is very high, but my understanding of them is limited to this." ”

Kapustin walked with Fu Tuo, and couldn't help groping his chin when he listened to Fu Tuo's words, and hesitated: "Hmm...... So, then again, did you take any courses on composition at the Berlin University of the Arts? ”

"Composition lessons?"

"Well, it's a composition course, about how to create a work, or how to understand how a work is created from the direction of composition, have you ever taken such a course?"

Listening to Kapustin's words, Fu Tiao raised his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"No, not really, but I did have a little bit of a lesson with one of my teachers in Huaguo."

"Huaguo? Who? ”

"He Shen and Shan Yi, my piano teacher in Huaguo, the most important thing is Shan Yi, basically he instructed me on composition...... Right? ”

Fu Tiao hesitated a little when he said about this place, turned his head to stand still, and asked Kapustin.

"But I want to confirm, Professor Kapustin, do you mean the analysis of the form when you say that the idea of composition to understand music is to understand music?"

"Hmm...... That's true, but it's not comprehensive. ”

Kapustin shook his head slightly: "I listen to what you say, it seems that your teacher, the direction he taught you is more about Popsobin and acoustics?" ”

"Sposobin?" Fu Tiao had never heard of this name, so he couldn't help asking, "Who is he?" ”

"A master of writing harmony and acoustics, Popsobin's harmony is a must for all undergraduate students, I taught my students to learn and sound is also constructed through his theoretical system, his analysis of harmony works before the Romantic School is actually quite reasonable, but after the Romantic School, his works seem to be slightly ......"

Kapustin thought for a moment, didn't find a suitable content to describe, just hesitated slightly, and pouted.

"Although it can still be used, but it always feels inaccurate, and the content is relatively small, more like a reference book, and a lot of things are not very thorough, so I personally don't particularly like the content of Popsobin, even if I have met with him, but it is limited to meetings."

"...... like this"

Fu Tiao nodded, continued to walk down, and asked casually, "Then Professor Kapustin, whose secretary do you recommend more?" As an introduction to acoustics? ”

"Don't look at anyone when you get started."

Kapustin gave Fu an answer that he hadn't thought of.

He explained to Fu Tiao: "If you want to get started, I personally recommend that you start learning with a certain teacher, and follow the teacher to learn the content of sound, and when you can almost understand it, I recommend you to learn Schoenberg's harmony, although he brings a lot of personal personal work, but his ease of understanding as a textbook is far better than that of Sposobin, and Sposobin...... Just use it as a reference book. ”

The two of them talked and walked to the door of the chamber music downstairs.

It wasn't time for Fu to rehearse yet, so there was no one at the chamber music door.

Fu Tiao reached out and pushed the door of the house, but found that it was not opened, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.

Sure enough, there was no one inside.

So he just sighed, and sat down on the chair at the door of the concert hall with Kapustin, and asked Kapustin curiously.

"Then again...... Professor Kapustin, I'm a little curious, who did you learn harmony with? ”

"My harmony?"

Kapustin laughed dumbly when he heard this, and shook his head: "My harmony system is not learned from anyone, but a harmony system created purely by myself, based on conventional harmony, adding a variety of modern elements, such as jazz, rock, blues and other musical characteristics, and thoroughly understanding it into my harmony." ”

Kapustin looked at Fu Tuo, who was a little puzzled on the side, couldn't help but smile, and said to Fu Tuo.

"What do you think of my work? I've been giving you my work for a long time, right? ”

"Bullet ...... It's OK? Fu Tuo smiled without hesitation and said: "I am familiar with the work, and I have basically done all the details above, but it is only limited to it, and I think there is still a little room for strengthening the overall performance effect, and I am still thinking about how to play it...... But I remember Professor Kapustin, you seem to have heard of my encore before? I think I've played your work? ”

"I've heard it once, and it's good." Kapustin smiled, "But there are still a little shortcomings. ”

"Huh? Where? Fu Tune suddenly became interested, and he was curious about what the original author thought of his performance.

It's just that he didn't expect that Kapustin didn't answer his answer immediately, but shook his head at him slightly.

"I won't tell you now, I'll tell you later, I'm here for you this time at the Berlin University of the Arts, Dior."

Kapustin patted Fu Tune's shoulder.

"Some of my friends and Klaus and I discussed some problems about your recent musical performance, and he felt that although your music performed very well, and you were able to play a god-level live, but your overall feeling for music performance was still a little worse, which is not to say that you are bad, nor that you are not performing well, but that you have taken some detours in musical thinking when you practice."

"Detours?"

"Well, Dior, I want to ask you, what are you thinking more about when you play a piece?"

Listening to Kapustin's question, Fu Tiao groped his chin and said with a little hesitation.

"I was thinking about how to make the music feel more comfortable, the beauty in the music more intense, and then I put my thoughts on the composer himself."

"A very good, very typical way of thinking, you think like this very good, I like it, but there is a problem."

Kapustin stretched out his hand and waved, shook his head and said: "Your efficiency is a bit slow, you will often look for it over and over again, there is no sense of logic in it, playing a piece in the direction Klaus he can give to you, but he also has composers he is good at, such as the classic member of the De Austrian School, the member of the three Bs, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, if you ask him to teach you some impressionist works, he will seem a little weak, do you feel it?" ”

“……”

Fu Tiao wanted to follow his words, but this place really couldn't go down, so he could only shake his head honestly.

"No, I didn't feel it, because what I've been learning lately is basically Brahms, Beethoven, and some minor repertoire updates, and I haven't learned the repertoire of composers outside of the Dodd-O school in particular, so ......"

"Forehead ......"

Kapustin's words were stopped by Fu, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only cough lightly twice and continued.

"You'll know later that you'll know when you've hollowed out all of Klaus's thoughts about the works of the Deoricans, and it may take a long time, but I think you can do it."

Speaking of which, he lightly skipped the topic and continued his previous words.

"All in all, if you want to continue to improve after learning all the content of Klaus, you definitely don't want to learn from Klaus, you only have two choices at that time, one is to practice by yourself, and the other is to find other teachers to understand and learn, this is not a quick thing to find a new teacher, and it is not a long-term thing to learn from other people all the time, if you want to be truly independent, you must learn to learn independently."

As he said this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but open with a smile.

"So, those people came to me and asked me to teach you something about composition."

"Well, that's ......" Fu Tiao just nodded, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked at Kapustin beside him, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Huh? Wait a minute? Composition? No...... Jazz? ”

"Sir? Why Jazz? Composition, of course. ”

Kapustin interrupted Fu Tune's questioning and continued to Fu Tune.

"Because you have been practicing my works recently, although you are playing in good condition now, and it is already a standard to be able to go directly to the stage, but if you want to understand the composition of music from the composer himself, it is best for the composer himself to explain to you some content about composition, which is the main purpose of my coming to you......"

He paused for a moment when he said this, raised his head, thought for a moment, and hesitated.

"No, to be exact, there is actually another purpose, but it doesn't matter, I'll tell you when you go to Salzburg."

"Salzburg?"

"Well, Salzburg, I'm going to Salzburg too, and as you think, I've been invited."

Kapustin smiled gently at Fu Tune: "Although I wasn't invited to play, it's about the same as playing, and someone wants to play my work, so I was invited to take a look." ”

"That's ......," Fu Tuan nodded.

But before he could speak, Kapustin said directly: "I don't know if you know each other, this time there will be an old acquaintance at the Salzburg Festival, a pianist of the top technical type who also participated in the Ruhr Piano Festival, his famous work is Godowsky's adaptation of Chopin's etudes and a few of my works, if you don't know it, I can introduce you to you later." ”

When Kapustin said this, he directly skipped the topic and returned to the previous teaching part, adding.

"As for the teaching just mentioned, it doesn't start now, but it has to wait until around October, and this semester is coming to an end, and I don't come in at this time, but in October, I'm just coming over for a few more days at the Salzburg Festival, plus going through the entry procedures, so I came to see and talk to you, and as for the rest, then I'll wait until I officially join the company."

With that, Kapustin got up, hugged Fu Tiao, and reached out to rub his shoulder.

"Anyway, Dior, your performance at the Ruhr Piano Festival is really good, I like your performance, but unfortunately I didn't hear it live, I just heard the rumors and a little bit of recording, it's a bit too much...... Hope to hear from you next time. ”

With that, Kapustin let go of the hand on Fu Tiao's shoulder, smiled at Fu Tiao, and waved.

"Then I'll see you later, I'll see you at the Salzburg Festival, if you have the opportunity, I'll introduce you to Hamerin, he's my old friend, just discuss technology, maybe the strongest technology in the world now, should be him, Dior, you are also a member of the technical faction, maybe the two of you can talk...... Hiss!!!! ”

As he spoke, Kapustin's backward figure staggered, and he bumped into a hard object with a slight bulge.

He turned his head blankly, only to find that behind him was just a huge cello handle that was black, thick, and long.

I saw the handle, but I couldn't see anyone.

With his expression extremely dazed, a weak but stubborn voice sounded behind him.

"That...... You bumped into me, can you give in a little bit? I want to go over, I'm going to get ready for chamber music. ”

Mira, cello of the piano chamber music quartet, she came to the rehearsal room according to the time.

It's just that before he could get in, he bumped into Kapustin, who was going backwards and was about to leave.

And just as Kapustin was about to fall, another delicate little hand stretched out to stop Kapustin's body from leaning back.

Taha stood beside Mira, grabbed Kapustin, and smiled at him.

"I'm sorry, Mira is a little small, not easy to notice, I'm really sorry I accidentally hit you."

"I didn't! I'm not that small! I just ......"

Mira raised her fist and muttered a few words, then glanced at Kapustin, who almost completely covered her, and Mira, who was half a body taller than her next door, and the original words of protest inexplicably lost their sense of power, and finally just stood there and muttered quietly.

"I ...... It's not that small, is it? Although I'm small, the cello I carry is not small, right? ”

"Okay, good, I know you're not small."

Taha gave Mira a doting look, then said to Kapustin.

"I'm sorry, old gentleman, do you have any problems?"

"No, it's okay......"

Kapustin rubbed the place where he had been pushed against the cello post, shook his head slightly, then looked back at Fu Tune, sighed, and waved.

"Forget it, Dior, if you still have any questions, we can talk about it at the Salzburg Festival when you go back, then that's it, see you at the festival, I still have some things to do at the composition academy, when you finish rehearsing or have time, you can come to the composition academy to find me, I'm always there."

After that, he didn't wait for Fu Tiao's response, so he rubbed his back and slowly climbed upstairs.

And just as Capustin was gone, Camilo had just come down from the upper floor.

He staggered his steps across the stairs and flew in front of everyone, and before they could speak, he immediately folded his hands and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I got a little bit of something happening at the Berliner Philharmoniker, I'm sorry I'm late, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry......"

As he spoke, he found that everyone had no meaning to speak, so he couldn't help but raise his head, scratched his head blankly, and wondered.

"Did something happen? Why don't you all speak? ”

"Nothing, it's just that Mira hit one of our professors at school with her long, black, thick, piano handle, that's all."

Taha said with a smile, and despite Mira, whose face was gradually reddening, he walked up to Camilo's side, reached out and took a key from his coat pocket, opened the door of the chamber music hall, and smiled happily at the crowd.

"Alright, let's stop talking about that, let's start our last rehearsal before we go to the Salzburg Festival!"
