Chapter 534: Rehearsal
Yang Jingxing's task at night was to talk with Wei Junyu on paper and communicate with each other. Although it has not been actually operated, Wei Junyu already has a lot of his own opinions, and Yang Jingxing attaches great importance to them.
At eight o'clock, Yu Xinting, who was supposed to be practicing the piano downstairs, came up, taking Kong Chenhe, Wang Yuchen and two other boys.
This is the members of the group who got the score to communicate with the composer and conductor in advance, and the two boys are also brass series, focusing on trombone and French horn respectively, both with guys.
Wang Yuchen was very polite: "I'm sorry, didn't bother, right?"
Yang Jingxing smiled brightly: "It's so welcome, please take a seat." β
Wang Yuchen formalized: "Introduce you to ......"
In fact, they are all familiar, but they still shook hands, and the trombone boy said to Yang Jingxing: "I rehearsed your "Sun in the Rain", but unfortunately I was a little rushed at the time. β
Yang Jingxing was polite: "I'm really sorry, I want to cause trouble for you again." β
Wang Yuchen smiled: "I've read all the scores, I'm looking forward to it." β
The horn boy seems to know Wei Junyu quite well, saying that he likes to grasp the wind ensemble group a little, especially the middle and low voices.
Sitting down, Wang Yuchen explained the situation: "The notice I received at noon told us to go and get the score to prepare a new work, but I didn't say that you know, it made me a little annoyed, and I said that I went at that time." β
Yang Jingxing was worried: "It's not here to criticize me." β
Wang Yuchen smiled: "Of course not." Because I haven't heard of new works, but I know that Kong Chenhe is familiar with you, so I called her first to find out that it was handpicked by the principal, do you know. β
Yang Jingxing said: "The school wants to give everyone a chance to exercise independently, and our whole group is hand-picked. β
The trombone boy asked, "Didn't you choose the group members?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "How can I be qualified...... The conductor may be able to build a school. β
Wei Junyu said: "As long as you cooperate a little better, whatever you choose, it is these people who look up and don't look down." β
Kong Chenhe said: "That's it, it's almost the same anyway, just be serious during rehearsals." β
Yang Jingxing reminded Yu Xinting: "Especially you. β
Yu Xinting nodded, but Kong Chenhe defended her friend: "Don't put so much pressure on her, it's not good to put too much pressure on her, you have to play a good ......"
"Have you read the score?" Yang Jingxing asked the musicians again: "To be honest, do you think it's okay?"
Wang Yuchen said: "It's very good, I like melodies with good melody and technical play." β
The male trombone voice also said: "It feels better than a symphonic overture anyway." β
Many people know that the world premiere repertoire prepared for the main celebration has a rather special style, which is simply the band playing the oriental music in the minds of the average Western listener from beginning to end...... Sometimes it makes people suspect that they have entered the ancient greeting band.
As an art, Picasso has achieved incredible success by breaking with traditional aesthetics, and in this regard, the avant-garde consciousness of musicians seems to be lagging behind.
For the composer who is also Puyin going out, Yang Jingxing is very respectful, saying that he has also seen the score of the symphonic overture, and the new technique and structure are ingenious, needless to say, the sense of hierarchy and direction is also quite clear,...... Technically speaking, he is much more advanced and avant-garde than his own student.
Kong Chenhe believes that it is of course important to be unconventional, but good listening is the most fundamental thing, otherwise how could such clichΓ© pop music have such a big market.
These discussions are meaningless, let's talk about the things in front of us, Wang Yuchen built yì Yang Jingxing to tell you about the works, but Yang Jingxing pushed this task to Wei Junyu.
Wei Junyu started with the brass group and explained to the musicians decently, and everyone listened carefully. However, it is also a preview, and it is difficult to go deeper.
There are a few bars in the second movement where the first trumpet is the protagonist, and Wang Yuchen actively came to the scene again, and everyone applauded.
Kong Chenhe strongly asked Yang Jingxing to learn from the professional, and the professional and amateur listened to it and sighed, and then the competition became a brass quartet, so it was not noisy.
After being angry and relaxed, the musicians began to inquire about the school's specific attention to Yang Jingxing's new work, so that they could have a psychological preparation and expectation.
When answering this question, Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu did not cooperate very well, the composer thought that it was up to the team to see the team in the end, and the conductor firmly believed that the school would give enough opportunities.
It's more than nine o'clock, and Wei Junyu will talk later, today he and Yang Jingxing's task has not been completed, so we have to hurry up.
After ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing went downstairs to remind Yu Xinting to go back and rest: "There is a lot of time, don't rush this meeting, just be serious during rehearsals." β
Yu Xinting asked, "I'll go tomorrow too?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Of course, do I still need to practice?"
Yu Xinting grinned and worried: "But I can't grasp it myself." β
Yang Jingxing said: "You just have to grasp it yourself, and it is also exercise." β
Yu Xinting asked, "You're not leaving?"
Yang Jingxing said: "It's almost there." The image of a performer is very important, and it is not good to look good if you don't sleep well. β
Yu Xinting suspected: "Wang Yuchen is quite the number one. β
Yang Jingxing taught: "That's not what you have to care about. β
Yu Xinting nodded: "Then I'll go back." β
After calling Qi Qingnuo, Yang Jingxing went to study with Wei Junyu until nearly twelve o'clock before returning to their respective homes.
At half past two on Wednesday afternoon, Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu came to the orchestra rehearsal hall of the rehearsal center to prepare for work, and took the initiative to meet the musicians who welcomed the arrival one after another.
Wei Junyu was quietly happy with Yang Jingxing, it seems that most people are not very slack, and before the time comes, the people are almost there, and they all feel quite enthusiastic, and there are even some compliments for the works.
Yu Xinting came a little later, and there were classmates who took the initiative to greet her, and then Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu took her to meet people together. Yu Xinting is not as restrained as a freshman, and she is okay to socialize.
At about three o'clock, Sun Yuanfei led the team, Lu Kaiping and Li Yingzhen from the piano department, He Hongchui and Gong Xiaoling from the composition department, as well as two teachers who served as the principal in the troupe, and two orchestra managers.
The students all stood and waited.
The management teacher first called the names, except for two violins and a cello who did not come in advance, the other fifty-five people were all present.
Sun Yuanfei stood on the command platform, reviewed it and announced: "Everyone welcomes Director Lu, Professor Li, Director He and Professor Gong to guide us ......" and took the lead in applauding.
After the welcome, Sun Yuanfei began to swear: "...... Everyone is already familiar with Yang Jingxing, and this time the school attaches great importance to his new work and has high expectations. Wei Junyu has also cooperated and has a certain understanding. Students, time is pressing......"
In addition to encouraging and urging words, Sun Yuanfei also explained the school's arrangement, the piano master class and the peach and plum all over the world are the highlights of the school celebration, and the importance of showing the teaching achievements and students' demeanor to the guests from all walks of life is self-evident.
When Sun Yuanfei spoke, the orchestra management teacher handed out the schedule to everyone. There are also some stern instructions on the table, such as rehearsals not being counted as absenteeism or something. If you want to talk about absenteeism, Yang Jingxing is estimated to be Puyin's first.
After Sun Yuanfei received the applause of the orchestra students full of confidence and fighting spirit, he asked the other professors to discuss who would speak first.
After giving in to each other, Lu Kaiping came first, and he also stepped onto the podium to once again emphasize the importance of the Piano Concerto in G major, not only for the piano department or composition department, but also for the school......
Everyone has heard a lot of this kind of talk, but the slight difference is that the culprit who caused the important thing this time is not a famous person.
However, Lu Kaiping mentioned again: "Everyone should know that Director Wang of the Philharmonic admires Yang Jingxing very much and is very willing to cooperate with the school, but we all feel that this year's stage should belong to our Puyin students, so we can only let you work harder." I know that you have a heavy task in the second half of the year, so the school is considering letting Yang Jingxing choose some members by himself, but I believe that everyone is not afraid of this hard work, and it is a very pleasant thing to rehearse an excellent work......"
The representative of the composition department is Gong Xiaoling, she did not go to the conductor's stage, but walked to the piano, and her voice was much gentler: "Director Sun and Director Lu have made it very clear that this rehearsal is a test and exercise for the orchestra, the conductor, the piano performance, and the composer. I wish you all the best in the rehearsal process, fully understand the work, cooperate tacitly, and use the optimistic and positive attitude that the work itself contains to complete this work. Students, Director Lu is right, this year's stage belongs to you, and I believe that honor and pride will also belong to you......"
Young people seem to prefer sensationalism, and Gong Xiaoling's applause is much warmer and more positive.
After that, it was the turn of the students, Wei Junyu stood on the command platform upright, expressing confidence and determination, and felt that he already had a little momentum and courage to command.
When it was Yang Jingxing's turn, he stood upright, as if he was not ready: "I am very worried that I can cooperate with so many senior brothers, sisters and teachers for the first time when I write a concerto...... Anyway, please. Also, as a performance...... Let's play Yu Xinting, welcome. β
Everyone means it, Yu Xinting is obviously nervous again, so many pairs of eyes watched her walk to the middle, but she didn't dare to look at anyone's feelings: "I must work hard...... If there is anything that is not done well, everyone will criticize it more, and I will definitely work hard. β
Gong Xiaoling praised: "Okay, just have these two words!"
Almost half an hour has passed, and Sun Yuanfei emphasized again: "The principal has to personally inspect when he comes back from Europe, so we hurry up and take advantage of the fact that so many teachers are here ...... now."
Sun Yuanfei introduced several important members to Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu to get to know each other again, and everyone was ready to start practicing the group after dividing the division of labor casually.
Puyin's students are still relatively reliable, they are in place quickly, their respective scores are brought, and no one temporarily tunes or anything. It is commendable that the principal violin teacher and clarinet teacher also have to play in person.
Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu, who had prepared for a few days in advance, were of course the fastest to prepare.
So many teachers looked at it, and everyone looked at the piano and the conductor with serious expressions. Wei Junyu clasped his hands in front of his chest and raised his baton to face the usual front, full of charm.
Yang Jingxing didn't have much to think about, and after a dozen bars of gentle and tactful, the string group was ready to pluck the strings one after another under the leadership of the principal and the reminder of the conductor.
The plucking strings was only a small measure, and the group of professors next to them had all kinds of faces. It's really miserable, light of light, heavy of heavy, and not at all in the same rhythm.
Fortunately, Wei Junyu was given so many preventive injections, and his face was not hung up, and he continued to walk down while flipping through the score, looking very serious. Yang Jingxing was obviously used to solo performances, and had a lot of fun, and seemed to be completely unconcerned about the orchestra's performance.
Fortunately, the first movement was only about seven minutes, and Wei Junyu pulled the baton for the last time, looking up at the sky as if relieved. Regardless of the solemnity of the professors, the students are also aware of their own expressions, obviously lacking the most basic familiarity with the score, which has nothing to do with the quality of the work.
Yang Jingxing stood up and greeted the conductor and the orchestra with a smile on his face: "Thank you, it feels good." β
The principal violin teacher stood up, turned to the orchestra and said, "I am still not familiar enough with the work, let's take a look first, see ......"
Sun Yuanfei asked his subordinates loudly: "Did you emphasize yesterday?
The management teacher said, "It's all ......"
Gong Xiaoling stood up again to comfort everyone: "It's okay, the new work must be like this, and I can see that many students are more familiar with ......"
Many people began to read the score at zero time, the chief violin teacher also explained to the string group, and Wang Yuchen in the wind music accepted Gong Xiaoling's praise, and now they are actively sharing their experiences with everyone.
After a few minutes of familiarity and discussion, Wei Junyu, who had been silent for a long time, began his duties, and the baton knocked on the music stand: "Pay attention, I'll talk about it briefly......"
The chief teacher has done a good job of listening to the command and analyzing the score, not to mention Yang Jingxing and these people.
Wei Junyu's preparations were not in vain, and in a quarter of an hour, he gushed out a number of points of connection and special attention to the first movement, as well as the emotional colors required by each passage, and he spoke with great clarity and clarity.
The teachers were a little more pleasant, and Li Yingzhen and Gong Xiaoling obviously discussed and praised the student in private.
After the so-called brief explanation, Wei Junyu said without asking the teachers' opinions: "Let's follow the piano through the score to deepen our memory and understanding...... Let's get started, just the first movement. β
After receiving the order, Yang Jingxing began to play the piano score throughout the first movement. Although it is a concerto, it is still quite good to listen to the single part, and everyone listens carefully, but the sound of the score is more neat than the previous plucked strings.
After Yang Jingxing finished playing, Gong Xiaoling took the lead in applauding, and everyone gave face.
After a few applause, Wei Junyu offered the big move he had prepared with Yang Jingxing in advance, and asked Yang Jingxing: "Twenty-four bars later, is it a little faster?"
The effect of the ultimate move was very good, the teacher and classmates were obviously surprised, and Li Yingzhen even hurriedly came over to read the score.
Yang Jingxing played the place pointed out by the commander again, and then admitted: "I was a little impatient just now, I'm sorry, pay attention in the future." β
Sun Yuanfei came out to reassure: "It's okay, don't worry......"
