Chapter 120 Night Talk (4K [-]-in-[-])

"Marcus's explosive power is good, but judging from his performance in the rehearsal hall, he is a bit self-righteous in his performance. His desire for personal performance outweighs his professional background. Judging by the standards of current students, he is a good member of the troupe, and he is not suitable to be the trumpet chief."

In the face of Roy's inquiry, Fan Ning was concise, but did not miss the main points to clarify his views.

So the girl on the opposite side nodded, ticked off the person's name, wrote down a few key words, and ranked them in order of priority.

"Lomuel, a first-year musicology major, a substitute member of the symphony orchestra, has learned French horn since childhood, and his horn performance last semester was better than most performance majors, and it is also Lu's recommendation." Roy continued to the next one.

"The timbre fluctuates repeatedly between horrific and horrific. I want him to practice more with my roommate Calvin. If he improves, he will be included. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will blow up the tube during the official performance." Fan Ning continued to comment.

"Edith, a second-year violin major, an official member of the symphony orchestra, my introduction, a pretty good junior, I want to try the second violin principal."

"The intonation exceeded my expectations, but the endurance is a little bit reluctant. Her style of holding the bow with the wrist may not be able to adapt to the long string tremolo in my symphony. I conveyed the situation to her. If you are willing, you can try it... In addition, this student My sister needs to practice more, it's too bad."

After completing the screening of a dozen people, the two took a short rest.

Roy yawned and slapped her mouth cutely, then she said with a smile: "Mr. Fanning, although you have decided to accept most of them, how does Roy feel, every one of you seems to be reluctant... "

Fanning reclined the office chair a little bit: "Not everyone is like you, my chief cello lady."

"Really? Seriously?" The girl's eyes flashed brightly, and then she deliberately showed suspicion.

"To be honest." Fan Ning nodded slightly, and said seriously, "You know, sometimes I really can't understand why most people, the vast majority... no, why almost all the musicians of the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra , don’t pay attention to the score at all? Not only do they not pay attention when playing, but when communicating, they say that they don’t have this habit at ordinary times.”

"They always just stare at their own parts and count the time, never listen to others, just wait for the conductor to give him a hint when he makes a mistake... To know that it is not a very outrageous mistake, I will not deliberately stare at a certain person. Humans, I have a lot to deal with, a slight disconnect in isolation, and I look forward to the musicians being able to adjust themselves."

"Roy, frankly speaking, you are the most overall-minded of all of them. Joan, Sheeran and Lu's performance skills are not weaker than yours, but in this regard, they are not as good as you at present."

…Fortunately, when I chatted with Mr. Fanning before, I felt that he attached great importance to the analysis of the score, and I did a lot of homework and preparation in advance.

Facing Fanning's praise, Roy was very proud at the moment, her cheeks were dimpled from laughter, and there was a sweet light in her blue eyes.

She asked again in a questioning tone: "But Mr. Fanning... Do you think this kind of request is too high in this kind of student symphony orchestra?"

Fan Ning shook his head: "The symphony orchestra of Saint Lenia University should not be at this level at present, it is not worthy of so many music masters who have come out of here... And you must know, I am not demanding that the musicians will The score has been thoroughly researched, but their thinking should be trained to roughly know the functional positioning of each segment’s own voice—is it the main melody or the countermelody? Is it the rhythmic power provider or the secondary one? Accompaniment texture or background sound? In certain emotional passages, do you need to lead the change in advance, or do you need to delay following the change? These are some of the most basic points..."

"These Roy have been trying to pay attention. If it is the chief, is there anything more important to Mr. Fanning?"

Fan Ning thought for a while and said: "If the level allows, I hope you will notice more, such as the passage of multiple instruments playing in unison, the chief should be clear whether this part of his own is the main tone that the composer hopes, or is it used to modify The secondary tone of harmony is like when the band plays a long column chord, you should also know which component sound of your part is the melody sound in the chord, or the root note, or the inner tone, or is it connected with the front and rear chords Appropriate notes, sustained notes or out-of-chord sounds... Different processing methods will make the whole sound effect show a completely different effect..."

Roy suddenly realized and nodded, "No wonder there is such a big gap between the top professional symphony orchestras in the empire and our own! Even Master Meyer's early, simple and beautiful symphony of originalism has the same sound, We didn't seem to be playing wrong either, but it sounded and felt completely different!"

"...It can only be said that the factors that affect the presentation of symphony are too complicated, and they are different from solo and chamber music. Roy really admires that you have such a deep understanding in the field of conducting, and you also have a pair of extremely sensitive people who can play from seniors. The ear that finds the problem in the playing of the number ten."

Fan Ning smiled indifferently when he heard this: "The current rehearsal level is actually less than one-tenth of the effect in my mind. If I want to make a harsh evaluation, it will be 'listen to it', but for the time being, that's all I can do. If I were St. Lai The music director or permanent conductor of the Nia Symphony Orchestra, with their rehearsal attitude, I will not give them the chance to go on stage if I don’t train them to the effect I want... After all, there is still a problem with the overall atmosphere of the orchestra now. The conductors and professors are too good-tempered..."

When chatting here, Fan Ning looked at his pocket watch, and the time had passed ten o'clock in the evening without knowing it.

"Aren't you going home to sleep?"

"Chatting with Mr. Fanning doesn't mean you want to sleep, why don't you leave at the same time as you later."

"I'm not leaving tonight." After finishing speaking, Fanning saw Roy looking around, and asked again, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm wondering if the sofa is big enough..." While drinking coffee, Roy glanced at Fanning's expression, "I'm just kidding, my car and driver are downstairs... Anyway, leave when you're sleepy. "

"Are you blaming me for what happened to Spencer Cecil?" Fanning looked directly into Roy's eyes.

"I don't blame you, but I'm wronged, you let me be criticized." Roy pursed his mouth.

Looking at the delicate appearance of the girl in the orange dress, Fan Ning's eyes became more smiling: "How about a plan to compensate you?"

"Why? Because I just said that I was wronged? Or... because I didn't blame you? So you think, I understand you?" Roy's small mouth was flattened to bulging.

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, but it has nothing to do with this. It's because you've been working so hard to pick someone for me recently, and I'm touched by you..." Fan Ning showed a playful look on purpose, and took a sip of coffee himself.

"You..." Roy pretended to be angry and waved his small fist twice.

Although the two had maintained a tacit consensus before, but at this time, the emotions conveyed in each other's eyes finally became a little more relaxed.

The girl straightened her expression and said sternly, "Mr. Fanning, the reason I left later is that there are still some suggestions about this symphony. If you trust Roy, maybe you can try to think about it."

"You said."

Roy said seriously: "On the one hand, reduce the number of orchestration requirements. You know that after the prosperity of Romanticism, our academy, like other professional orchestras, has gradually expanded from two pipes to three pipes, but your "First Symphony "In fact, there are already four controls, especially the most exaggerated one. You asked for 5 trumpets, and 7 French horns! Just one French horn instrument, the most fragments are divided into 4 parts..."

"On the other hand, too many annotations and emoticons may be appropriately cut down. Although more and more students have tried 'title music' in recent years, academic professors are actually more inclined to For 'pure music'. In some passages, you may need to take more care of everyone's expression level. For example, in just one section, you marked the instructions from p (weak) to fff (very strong) and then to p. The difficulty of playing is a bit high... And the last movement starts at bar 650, and you made a strange request for seven horn players to stand up and play, which is simply unheard of..."

"Thank you, Roy." Fanning's tone was sincere, and his eyes were warm.

Roy blinked and smiled, then waited for him to continue giving feedback.

Fan Ning was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Is the internal investigation of the nominated works in the past two days... relatively normal?"

"You are still number one." Roy replied calmly.

"I understand." Fan Ning smiled lightly, "It's because I had a huge advantage in the improvisation and chamber music voting at the beginning, and I pulled Cecil by more than 5 points...but if I use the current progress to convert , I guess I'm running out of points ahead of him, right?"

"Mr. Fanning's sense of smell is too keen. Roy didn't mention it at all before... You are only leading by 2.1 points. Among the members of the school, the professors of the music academy and the members of the orchestra, more than half of them have made choices. In a day or two, the final result will be settled."

A pensive look appeared on Fanning's face.

After more than half of the people who made the choice, they pulled their 5-point advantage to 2.1 points.
If it is roughly estimated according to this trend, what is the probability that I will finally get the first place?
It's like flipping a coin so unpredictable.

The girl paused when she said this: "But actually, I think at least [-]% of the current results have nothing to do with your "First Symphony" itself, but... the attitude of the school after that incident."

"Let's talk about the other [-]%." Fanning looked into Roy's eyes.

"Another [-]% of the music itself?...Well, there are indeed problems with the scale of orchestration and expression terms in your opinions. Regarding the points I just mentioned, they think it is a desire to control that does not match the qualifications ’, and too deviant…”

"Any more?"

"In addition, they also mentioned that your melody structure is too old-fashioned and simple, which does not conform to the delicacy and delicacy of Romanticism, and the polyphonic texture is too complicated, and you use a lot of vulgar market or country tunes, However, they are untimely integrated with elegant and noble composition techniques, and... in terms of certain musical image creation techniques, they have returned to the state that was deeply influenced by Professor Anton, such as foggy soundtracks, such as brass forte, such as superimposed variations of a large number of repetitive motifs, etc...”

Fan Jing listened quietly.

When the girl said this, her tone became very gentle: "Mr. Fanning, Roy really wanted to premiere your "Symphony No. Their attitudes are all told to you..."

As he spoke, Roy's voice slowly became agitated again: "Let me tell you what's in my heart, I think the questions they mentioned are all extremely stupid prejudices, including Uncle Huxley! !!Those are all advantages, your pioneering work and breakthrough, and the beginning of romanticism from maturity to peak. These days, every time I hear its incomplete performance, or imagine certain fragments, I will be full of joy, or whole body Trembling, even sometimes, when I play my part, I have a stronger feeling than "Death and the Maiden". I draw my bow and think, how did you write it? I really can’t help thinking cry deeply for it..."

After late at night, the temperature dropped sharply, and the girl's thin figure trembled a little. She took a deep breath, and put the slipped shawl back on again: "But, it's still from my heart... the first two points, the number of orchestrations There are too many requirements and expression terms, why should I say it first? It is because they are the easiest to make temporary compromises and adjustments! This will not involve too many note-level modifications, and you can use the information I disclosed Do some optimization, and then, Roy will try to persuade the remaining people who have not made a choice, and try to keep our advantage that has been eaten away by more than half..."

"It may sound a bit aggrieved. Why should I compromise with the style preferred by the academic school? Right? But what I am most afraid of now is that the opportunity is gone. This will also be a blow to other students currently participating in the rehearsal. Do this, and after you slowly gain fame, we will export our more prescient ideas to the art world.”

"Miss Roy, I remember what you said."

Fan Ning looked at the girl shivering from the cold, got up and closed the doors and windows of the office for ventilation, and then said with a gentle smile: "Last time at the restaurant, I was a little rude. After the graduation concert is over, how about inviting you to dinner?"

Wait until the graduation concert is over.Hearing this sentence pattern, Roy was finally sure that Fanning was seriously considering her suggestion.

The small cup of coffee that Fanning poured for her was kept at the most suitable temperature. She sat for a while, watching Fanning flip through various music scores and manuscripts, memorizing things.

After taking a sip of the coffee, the girl stood up and said, "I'm sleepy."

"I'll take you down."

The night was as cold as water, and the two walked all the way to the car on the main road opposite the school administration building.

Fanning touched the door handle with his finger, but stopped and did not pull it open.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

"As always, if Roy encountered more special troubles, he would have told you in his dream before."

Fan Ning nodded, and the two stood face to face beside the car for a while, and then he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Roy pursed his lips, lowered his head to consider, and raised his head again: "The school already knows who 'Purple Bean Cake' is."

"What do you mean?" Fanning's expression froze.

"That's right, it's a further verification than two days ago." Roy nodded, "During the day today, Dean Fabian has reported the results of the investigation to all members.

"And. CC'd to the Special Patrol Office."
