Qin Jian has been sitting in this café called 'Eleventh District' for more than 4 hours.

The day after the semi-finals, Qin Jian originally thought that he could sleep well.

At least get some sleep, right?

But early in the morning, he was called up by He Jing.

According to He Jing, even earlier, the general distributor of KW Piano Yanjing didn't know where to get her phone number, and said through the phone that he wanted to talk about whether there was any possibility of cooperation.

This is also the reason why He Jing woke up Qin Jian early in the morning.

The object that the other party wants to seek cooperation with is, Qin Jian.

To put it simply, KW's general agent hopes that Qin Jian will switch to KW's EX series piano in the finals.

And in addition to paying a large honorarium, they also said that they could provide all the help that Qin Jian needed during the finals in the future.

But this is not good news for a teenager who has been woken up on a day off.

First of all, at the beginning, Qin Jian ruled out KW from entering the range circle of the fourth round selection.

Secondly, Qin Jian is not short of money now!

So naturally, there is no other possibility of the outcome.

After getting the boy's decisive refusal, He Jing also called the other party back as soon as possible and apologized euphemistically.

However, the other party still repeatedly expressed that he hoped that Qin Jian could think about it again.

The teenager, who was no longer sleepy, could only get up helplessly

After the sisters and brothers had a breakfast and lunch near the hotel, He Jing went shopping, and Qin Jian found a nearby café.

The next stage of preparation began.

It was five days.

In addition to writing down the score of all the voices of the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

It is only left that the final work will be rehearsed with the orchestra in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow in the time arranged by the organizing committee.

For other players, it's to rehearse with the orchestra.

For Qin Jian, he could only say that he was going to communicate with the commander.

There are no extra 5000 Worship points to squander.

There is only one chance to play, and that is at the final.

However, for this unknown, Qin Jian could only prepare himself as much as possible.

Qin Jian took a sip of coffee and turned the page in front of him to the next page.

'Variation No. 7, not too fast mid-plate movement'

"Here again is the melody of the Doomsday"

'Cello and double bass express the theme'

"Well, it's a bit complicated here. ”

Qin Jian pursed his mouth and picked up the pencil.

In the dense rows of scores, a row of scores marked 'VE cello' in front of the clef was found.

In this line of score, he circled the parts of the score that had notes on them.

A circle is marked with four large characters.

Theme melody

The melody is then circled in the same way in the sheet music labeled 'TRB double bass'.

But there is another detail here, in the melody of the last measure of the double bass, the author of the book seems to have deliberately marked a large solemnity in the printed type.

After all the marks were marked, Qin Jian printed all the scores in his mind as if he were a printed version.

Twenty minutes later.

"Whew. ”

"Next. ”

'Eighth variation original tempo, piano staccato theme. ’

Looking at the extremely complex beatmap, the boy scratched his forehead and picked up the pencil again.

"Octave. ”

"It's an octave again, it's an octave again. ”

Finally, at the beginning of this chapter, Qin Jian marked a powerful mark.

"Go on. ”

"Variation No. 9, original tempo, orchestra with triplet accompaniment, piano shuttles between accompaniments"

An hour later, the boy stopped at the eleventh variation.

"That's all for today. ”

Stretched slightly.

Despite the exhaustion, the physical and mental pleasure is indescribable.

Through the systematic reading of the score, Qin Jian felt the charm of symphonic music more truly.

I can only look at the notes one by one, and I can imagine what it feels like when the timbres of various instruments come together.

But that alone is enough to give you goosebumps on your arm.

"Rachmaninoff, the last chapter of the romantic tradition in country E since Glinka, this is indeed true. ”

After a long time, Qin Jian walked out of the notes woven by the symphony.

For the final five days later.

He was looking forward to it even more.

To be able to play such music is a lucky thing in itself.

The sky outside the window had already darkened, Qin Jian sighed softly, and put together the messy music score in front of him.

Throughout the afternoon, all of Qin Jian's thoughts were spent on a spiritual rendezvous with a composer.

Rahe's rhapsody is based on the twenty-four themes of Paganini's Caprice, corresponding to which twenty-four piano variations are divided into three parts, which are then strung together to form a complete piano concerto with the concerto of the orchestra.

However, the development of the whole music is not limited to Paganini's theme, and Rachmaninov has repeatedly added his favorite medieval church song "Angry Days" to the whole work.

Therefore, it is clear that there are two main musical lines in the work, which should be viewed in two parts, and analyzed together.

One light and one dark, one line of poetic lyricism and one line of thrilling, the two color lines intersect, and under the strong contrast, the contradictions and conflicts of the music are more obvious.

Plus a concerto arrangement of more than a dozen instruments.

If you want to really play this piece vividly.

Not only must the absolute strength of the lead performer be strong, but also a good orchestra and a conductor with stage dominance are also essential.

But.

As things stand, the lead player is still up to par with the day of wrath.

A good orchestra, if you look at the name of the Yenching Philharmonic Orchestra, is naturally no problem.

But Qin Jian is not sure whether the principal of each position in the orchestra is the best active performer in the orchestra.

This also has a direct impact on the effect that the work can present.

Finally, the conductor.

The conductor's personality will probably also determine the final feel and direction of the work.

Especially when the lead player is still a minor

"Hey. ”

"Thinking too much. ”

"It will be clear in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. ”

Shook his head.

"Call it a day. ”

At last.

In my mind, I reviewed the music I had recorded all afternoon, and randomly locked on the melody of a piccolo part.

When a line of sheet music emerges clearly.

Qin Jian smiled with satisfaction.

"That's what it's really about. ”

More than six hours, ten complete score variations of the total score memory.

"Thanks for the company of Rashi. ”

Packing his backpack and under the farewell gaze of the café owner, the boy stepped out the door.

When he returned to the gate of the chain Eight Days Hotel, Qin Jian suddenly stopped.

Turning around, the lights at the fue bar came on again at some point.

"Hmm-"

"Combining work and rest, it should be fine, right?"
