Chapter 1013 Playing Broken Strings (Two Chapters in One)

Teacher Chen Gang's personal guidance, no matter whether it is for candidates majoring in composition or violin, it must be a treatment that can flatter them.

Yang Qian didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't even care whether he would accept and accept Chen Gang's suggestions. He quickly picked up the violin again, and played "Humorous Song" according to Chen Gang's request.

At the beginning, Yang Qian tried to play a short section, looking at Chen Gang, as if asking him if he would play this section.

"Yes, try to incorporate a little emotion, your expression is exaggerated, your mood is sad."

Chen Gang pushed his chair back, and wanted to stand up and direct.

The old man is in his 80s, and his body is still quite strong. His hair is black, his skin is rosy, and his spirit is not like that of an old man in his 80s. Some people may believe that he is 60 years old.

However, Liao Jianyu was still worried, he got up quickly, helped Chen Gang pull the chair, and then stood aside with a smile.He is to prevent the old man from standing still, and he can help him as soon as he stands beside him.

"The expression is exaggerated, the mood is sad", this sentence may sound strange to laymen.

But Yang Qian can understand the song "Humorous Song", he knows that "Humorous Song" is not as humorous and happy as its name.

At the end of the nineteenth century, the composer Dvořák discovered in a performance that a clown on the stage was very passionate and contagious. He ran lively and danced on the stage with his funny moves, making the audience laugh There are voices everywhere.

But after the performance, Dvořák inadvertently saw the clown hiding in a corner of the backstage with tears streaming down his face, feeling sad for his embarrassing living conditions. This scene gave Dvořák a great feeling and also Inspired his creation of "humorous song" inspiration. (Note 1)

Therefore, "Humorous Song" is not happy-although it is used as the BGM of many funny videos.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that "Humorous Music" does not refer to any single piece of music, it can also be regarded as a genre of instrumental solo music.

Dvořák also wrote many "Humorous Songs", but this one is more popular and well-known.

Not to mention so much, under the command of Chen Gang's hand-conducted dance, Yang Qian began to pull up this "Humorous Song".

"Be happy, yes, it's good to raise your eyebrows, the young man is very handsome, you have to show that you are handsome."

Teacher Chen Gang’s words were very interesting. All the examiners laughed. Yang Qian, who was not very good at controlling expressions, couldn’t help but laugh. With this smile, he successfully expressed his cheerful emotions on his face and on the violin. .

The first paragraph of "Humorous Song" is like this. Its rhythm is brisk, and the sound of the bowstring is played intermittently. In such a combination of light and dark, it gives people a feeling of lightness, liveliness, joy and fun, and it also shows the clown's The performance state of bouncing on the stage.

Yang Qian just pulled like this, but Chen Gang didn't stop, so he continued to pull.

Chen Gang also seems to have forgotten that they are taking the exam at this moment, maybe because he is very happy to see Yang Qian's obvious progress, or maybe it is rare to see a new performer with such good playing skills, so he can't help but devote himself to listening .

However, the accident still happened!

While Yang Qian was rubbing it there, with a "bang", a string of the violin suddenly snapped.

Not to mention Yang Qian, who was working hard at this scene, all the examiners who watched with relish were stunned.

what's the situation?
Why did it suddenly stop?
This was the first time Yang Qian encountered such a situation, and he also subconsciously stopped the bow in his hand, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.

It's not that he's nervous or scared. He has already performed the content of the previous exam, and the extra teaching content that Mr. Chen Gang gave him must not be counted as an additional test, and there is no point deduction or anything.

What's more, the violin is broken, so it can only be said that the quality of the violin he brought is a bit poor, so it's not to blame on his test performance.

However, there are only four strings on the violin, and three of them are broken. Do you want to continue?

Yang Qian looked at Chen Gang, thinking that the teacher would confirm with him whether to continue acting.

Chen Gang didn't say anything, as if he was still waiting for his performance to continue.

"It's okay, it's normal for the string to break. Today."

Liao Jianyu smiled and wanted to give Yang Qian a break.

But Chen Gang held him down, and continued to look at Yang Qian with a smile.

"Yang Qian, can you still pull?"

Chen Gang's question surprised everyone, the strings are broken, how can I pull them?
Of course, it’s not impossible. The teachers here are immersed in music, especially musicians who have been in classical music for many years. They all know that the violin can still be played if a string is broken.

Not to mention breaking one, even if there is only one left, it is not a problem in front of top musicians, they can still play the melody.

Needless to say, there is such an allusion in history.Niccolò Paganini, a godlike violinist, played the "Love Duet" with two strings, and then played the "Napoleon Sonata" with a G string!
His violin skills are indeed miraculous, and Yang Qian, who is not a professional in this field, must not be able to reach such a level.But if there are still three strings, it is not impossible for him to complete the performance of "Humor".

So, just when everyone was wondering whether Chen Gang's request would be too difficult for Yang Qian, a non-professional candidate, Yang Qian picked up the bowstring with a serious face and began to try to draw a few notes.

Seems ok?

Is he up for a challenge?

Seeing this, Liao Jianyu gave up the idea of ​​persuasion, and continued to stand aside with a smile, watching expectantly.

"Mr. Chen, shall I try?"

After Yang Qian tried out a little feeling, he also responded calmly to Chen Gang.

It's not just a try, Yang Qian actually said that, he has already judged with certainty that he can complete this performance.

It was the last high-pitched string that was broken. Yang Qian quickly thought of a whole set of ways to change the sound, and the sound test just now made him confirm the feasibility of this set of ways.

The so-called daring of the masters, the performance experience of those masters in Yang Qian's head is not for nothing.

"Okay, let's continue!"

Chen Gang smiled gratifiedly, and hummed out the clip where Yang Qian stopped just now, without Yang Qian starting from the beginning.

Yang Qian nodded and immediately pulled up.

The melody of the second section is not as jumpy as the first section, so although there are only three strings left, the way Yang Qian pulls the bow slowly will not be sawed and sawed like before, which makes people worry that there are only three strings left. String safety.

The overall atmosphere of the second section also became heavy and sad in the gentle melody played by Yang Qian. Looking at his drooping eyebrows and listening to the music in his ears, the teachers seemed to see a person who could no longer jump. the clown!
He staggered, and his mood was melancholy, and the feeling of sadness spread faintly, which made people cry.

For Yang Qian's performance, Chen Gang didn't give applause of appreciation, nor did he give any pointers. He seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of the music, waving his arms gently, and his eyes were intoxicated and sad.

The other teachers wanted to applaud, but without Chen Gang's guidance, their palms were just pressed on the other hand without clapping, as if they were afraid of disturbing Yang Qian's performance.

But the surprise on their faces was still unreservedly shown.

Where is this just a student?
It's really good!
Yang Qian's performance was completely beyond their imagination!

It can even be said that Yang Qian can be the principal violinist in a slightly ordinary orchestra.

Of course, the top bands still need to practice more intensively, and the masters in the world should not be underestimated!
In just a few minutes, Yang Qian's performance reached the third section.

At this moment, although he once again showed the briskness of the first paragraph, the obvious emotion could not be lifted back to the original height, and the rest was only sadness.It was as if the clown wiped away his tears when he saw someone coming, and continued to forcefully smile.
"Turn up the smile a little higher, yes, you still have to laugh, not just sad."

Chen Gang was directing Yang Qian's expression management with his mouth, but his hand movements were directing Yang Qian's rhythm, so that he would not be too slow, and added a little improvisation.

Finally, the song is over!
Yang Qian put down the violin in his hand, a shy but uncontrollable smile of joy bloomed on his face.

This is the charm of music!
Although Yang Qian is not used to adding so many expression changes in his performance, he seldom made his expressions so exaggerated when he sang on stage before, but in cooperation with Mr. Chen Gang, Yang Qian still put this "Humorous Song" was played very happily!
Especially in the later part where Chen Gang broke the strings and continued to play, Yang Qian was very energetic in the face of the challenge, and of course he reaped a lot of joy in playing in the end!

"Bravo! Bravo!"

Chen Gang applauded vigorously, Liao Jianyu also applauded with a smile, and the others shook their heads with emotion, and there was only admiration in the eyes of Yang Qian.

Yes, Chen Gang and the others also reaped happiness, and even more surprises!
Including Chen Gang, it was hard for them to imagine that Yang Qian could still play at such a level, that he could pull down the strings steadily even if they were broken.

You know, not to mention ordinary candidates, even students with high scores in the violin major may lose their mentality in the face of such a situation.

This has to be how good the technical level is and how strong the inner belief is, in order to perform so amazingly behind?
They believe that Yang Qian has no chance to play the violin in public, otherwise he wouldn't let them know that he has a skill now.

Therefore, the reason is definitely not "experienced".

Then there is only one possibility left, Yang Qian is really a genius!
Decades, even a rare musical genius!
Geniuses can definitely do it. The world of super geniuses is hard for even them to understand.

"Mr. Chen, let's take this exam"

Chen Gang obviously had the energy to speak generously. He simply praised Yang Qian a few words, and wanted to comment on some areas in Yang Qian's performance that still need improvement.Fortunately, Liao Jianyu, who saw that the situation was not good, seized the opportunity when he paused to take a breath, and reminded him with a smile.

"Oh, yes, we'll talk about the rest later. Today there will be exams for the students in the future."

Chen Gang didn't want to finish, but he didn't insist on continuing. He nodded with a smile, and sat back down again.

"Thank you, Teacher Chen."

Yang Qian bowed.

Anyone can see that Yang Qian's re-examination interview is completely stable, so he has no other questions to answer. After Liao Jianyu concluded his statement, he followed the invigilator who guided him out of the interview classroom.

Before leaving, Yang Qian accidentally passed the next candidate.

How long have you been waiting?

Excuse me.

Yang Qian saw the nervousness, apprehension, and uneasiness on the other party's face, and he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic in his heart.

Earlier in the waiting room, Yang Qian had seen the other party look confident, but now he was panicking like this.I don't know, is it because his exam time is too long, so that he stood outside and waited for too long, his patience was worn out little by little, and his worries were also born little by little
After all, the previous candidates did not stay in the interview classroom for so long!
The invigilator asked him to wait in the normal order. Who would have thought that after waiting outside for a long time, he would certainly start to doubt his life if he was not really confident.

However, Yang Qian can't control that much.

After leaving the examination room, although Yang Qian could go home, he hadn't finished the re-examination process.

Of course, the exams were all over, and all he had left was the physical examination that would be repeated the next morning.

"Congratulations! Congratulations, Teacher Yang!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang for successfully completing his research and examination, and finally ushered in liberation!"

After the postgraduate exam, Yang Qian rested at home for two days.

I don't think about anything, I don't do anything, I just play with my daughter in the yard, swing, dig sand, read books, sing and dance with her.

Singing and dancing here is not a serious job, what they listen to is nursery rhymes, and Yang Qian also dances the crab dance with his teeth and claws-after all, he doesn't know how to dance at all.

Two days later, when Yang Qian returned to the company, the door slapped a few times as soon as he entered, ribbons were flying, and a group of employees of Qianyu Media suddenly rushed out, congratulating him with smiles. .

It is indeed worth celebrating. Since Yang Qian decided to prepare for the teacher qualification exam last year, he has been studying crazily, and a lot of time has been allocated from work.

Although everyone is excited by Yang Qian's efforts, they still hope to see a teacher Yang who is full of firepower in music!

Today, the crazy exam preparation can finally come to an end. Even if Yang Qian still needs to go to graduate school in the future, he doesn't need to bear such a strong pressure.

Everyone believes that Yang Qian will reappear in the eyes of fans and "return to the top"!
Why do you say back to the top?
The main reason is that in the past year and a half, Yang Qian has been too low-key, and his achievements, not to mention other domestic singers, even his apprentice Ouyang Xiaoqing is a bit inferior.

But the most powerful in everyone's mind should be Yang Qian.

He will definitely be able to return to the top and become the most dazzling star in the Chinese music scene again, bar none!

(Note 1: This story is also from Xiao Han's point of view. I don't know if it actually happened. Just look at the picture and have fun. Don't delve into it too much.)
