musicians of old

Chapter 370 The first movement of the poem of awakening (47): Consider it? (two in one)

Phaidon United Principality Festival Great Hall.

The symphony hall is resplendent and magnificent, and Walter is still bowing to all directions of the stage.

This is the encore of the third track "Flight of the Bumblebee" after the "Giant" symphony.

The attendance rate tonight was very high, and the applause was also very warm. He smiled elegantly, but in fact he was a little regretful and disappointed.

Similar to the origin of the "academic school" in the Northern Continent, this famous conductor himself is also an official knower of the "Church School" in the Western Continent. The symphony orchestra has been the permanent conductor for three years.

According to Walter's artistic status and extraordinary status, he can be regarded as the upper class anyway, or a "big man" in the ordinary population, but it depends on how to compare.

With his higher knowledge and pursuit, he is naturally more aware of this embarrassing workplace situation than anyone else: it is said that he was "hired with a high salary" as an overseas famous artist for an important position in a first-class symphony orchestra, but in fact the orchestra ranks at the bottom, and he is a second-class symphony orchestra. No. [-] permanent conductor, if you want to get the "No. [-]" position, the interested orchestra has to be further behind. Here, there is a music director who has more experience than ability and has to ask for advice on everything. The partner is often the heart The proud and arrogant concert hall and theater managers who watch people download discs are surrounded by a group of media and music critics who don't care about artistic level, but pay attention to etiquette...

Well, he admits that he also has some problems. He is not sophisticated enough in the world, and many things are not pleasing to the eye. However, his musical attainments do not have overwhelming conquest. For people like himself, the hardest stage of an artistic career is often the most difficult.

In contrast, he is more envious of the great musician in the Northern Continent who is almost ten years younger than himself. Even if his artistic attainments are not mentioned, his unparalleled ability to unite people around him is beyond compare .

Not to mention the big moves that people talk about, just a small detail: in an art occasion that supports the Impressionism genre, it is hard to understand that a group of academics can be invited to give advice and suggestions .

"Thank you."

Walter, who received a bouquet of music fans, pulled away from his divergent thinking a little bit.

There should be no chance this year. The five tours planned during the "Flower Ceremony" are the penultimate one, and the one with the most effort. The last one after three days is only arranged to make more citizens like it. , an orchestral ditty that leaves a pleasing impression at the end.

Generally speaking, this result is not surprising, after all, this is not the premiere of a new work, and my level cannot be stabilized at a higher level.He thinks that his study of Fanning's symphonies has many unique features, but he still feels some confusion and fog, including his own, some of the band's, and some of them cooperating with each other.

"Congratulations, great performance." "Representative Janus conducting method." "Keep up the good work."

At the moment, the rest area of ​​the cast and crew is crowded with people, the rollers of the musical instrument carts are noisy, and Walter, who has stepped off the stage,

The conductor shook hands with He Meng, the chief inspector of the Special Inspection Office, Calestini, the bishop of Fanghui Temple, and the deputy director of the Great Concert Hall, the younger brother of the troubadour Senessino. The two parties waved goodbye after a few polite words.

"Next year." He looked at the backs of several people leaving, and secretly planned in his heart, "Since the 'giant' can't do it, prepare to 'resurrect'."

He felt that a symphony with a higher attainment and a grander epic spirit would one day impress everyone.

However, it was another year of waiting and suffering, and it was even more troublesome to play "Resurrection". The director and the hospital had to agree to the cumbersome rehearsal plan of "the market price is not high", and they had to seek foreign aid to increase The organization of the band, in addition to the benefits that the musicians should have if they have overtime training, they also have to help fight for it. By the way, the selection of choir members, the arrangement of lead singers and soloists are the hardest hit areas for related households.

Thinking of this, Commander Walter, who finally adjusted his mentality, began to feel a little tired again.

The people around came and went, and occasionally met their eyes, and he responded mechanically with a smile.

"Mr. Conductor, the audience in the 15th seat of box 28 asked me to bring it to you." After being so absent-minded for a few minutes, Xiaopao's staff handed over a piece of letterhead.

"Audience?" Walter took it casually and looked down. "Is it a letter of introduction from a colleague, a confession letter from a music fan, or a letter of thanks?"

The number of movements, the number of measures, expression terms, simple chord names, note names or three-two line marks.

"This, this is." The more Walter looked at it, the more incredible his face became.

The content above pointed out all the important problems of the "Giant" symphony he just performed in an extremely concise and refined way!
Of course, using the word "problem" may not be accurate. It is impossible for a conductor like him to make professional mistakes. These points are either small flaws displayed by the band, or they are worth trying to adjust Either it is a suggestion of another "way of understanding", some of which he has noticed but haven't figured out how to solve, some of which he couldn't tell what was wrong before, and some of which he didn't notice at all before
All of them point directly at the vital points, pulling out the clouds to see the sun!
Commander Walter's heart was pounding.

Just a few minutes to view and think!
He is sure at this moment that even if there is no further information on this matter, he has already saved himself at least a few years of research energy by stopping here!

Of course, this matter must not let it stop here.

His eyes flicked over these numbers and symbols, and finally heaved a sigh of relief,
In the lower right corner is what I want: a person's name and a place.

"Who is Scheler?"

A completely unimpressive name.

But this insight and skill
He believed this man even if he said he was Fanning.

Box 15 with 28 seats? ...Damn it!This Scheler sat in such a corner when he was listening to the concert! ?
I haven't dealt with him before, and the away position is neither awkward nor awkward, and I can't get a better internal ticket, but is the person in the concert hall at this festival blind? ?

Walter took a deep breath, went into the command lounge, briefly explained a few words to the assistant, then randomly stuffed a few accompanying items into the briefcase, then took a big stride with the bag and disappeared directly at the door of the room.

……

A few minutes before Walter encountered this episode, the discussion group and the management of the large concert hall had already left the preparation area for the cast and crew in the backstage.

"Your Excellency the Inspector, Your Excellency the Bishop, the arranged revolving restaurant is on the top floor of the concert hall. My brother and Prince Eleanor will arrive later. I will let Miss Cuckoo come to meet with you in a while. I will ask you to take care of me on the day of the finals." gone."

The younger brother of the poet Senesino, the deputy director of the concert hall, leads the way.

Suddenly he saw a lady in a luxurious red dress, with a tall and straight posture and a graceful temperament, walking towards him with another girl in a white dress.

The pace of the lady's feet was a little fast, and she seemed to be looking for someone, and she was holding a bright and bright fox lily bouquet jade ornament in her hand.

"Miss Kuci?"

"Why did you come backstage?"

"Has the competition over there ended early? What about the others?"

The administrators of the Grand Concert Hall greeted or asked questions one after another.No matter which theater or concert hall he goes to, this famous singer with a high social status is an unimpeded guest.

Kuci directly ignored everyone's questions:

"Is Mr. Scheler still resting inside?"

She didn't know where Scheler was, and Ann also separated from him at noon. The only thing she was sure of was that he was here for a concert, and then it just ended here.

But Ku Ci defaulted that such a person would definitely go through the VIP channel, and there might be some social interaction after the show, so she went straight to the backstage.

As a result, the group of people in the inspection team also looked at each other in blank dismay:

"Who is Scheler?"

...then it's too late to explain.Hearing this, Ku Ci directly passed these people, and led Miss Nightingale to search inside.

He Meng's expression was as calm as usual, someone was just looking for someone, there was a high probability that he had never heard of it.

The group continued to walk to the revolving restaurant on the top floor.

However, Anna, the liaison next to him, felt that the name seemed to have some casual impressions.

Most of the people who can be found by this famous singer in the performing arts are also professional musicians. Could it be... one of the thousands of inconspicuous recommendation letters that I saw by chance?It's just that because the credible priority is too low, it hasn't entered the level of the officer's screening?
The Special Patrol investigator frowned as he walked with the crowd.

She was going to go back and go through the mountains of letters carefully.

.......
One minute later, in the backstage aisle, Conductor Walter looked at the magnificent and famous singer walking towards him from afar, and suddenly felt that today's experience was a bit magical.

It was expected that the "Song of Awakening" was not achieved, and it was unexpected to have expert advice, and then... there is still a beautiful woman holding such a precious jade bouquet to congratulate herself after listening to the concert?
Although both of them are "blade wielders", Miss Kuci reached this level ten years ago, and her attainments and social status are much higher than her own!
It seems that I performed well tonight...

However, unfortunately, I have more important things to do right away.

The two sides popped up a few words of dialogue one after another, all in a polite but "too late to explain" look.

Then start to stare.

"Why are you looking for Scheler!?"

"He actually sat in box 15, seat 28?"

"What the hell are people in the concert hall doing?"

"..."

In the next moment, there was a rapid "dong dong dong" sound on the wooden floor.

The place where Fanning wrote on the letterhead happened to be on the same floor as the place where everyone in the discussion group was currently staying.

The top floor of the concert hall is a revolving restaurant, while the bottom floor...the space below the stone steps of the ticket inspection hall has a spacious bar that is not too noisy. Chretien's family caravan made reservations before the concert began. Most of the places inside were reserved, and a special suite was reserved for Fanning.

The light here is soft but not dim, and in the entire glass grid, the colorful wine bottles are illuminated by gas lamps like sun stars, showing many colorful spots on the hand-woven rag carpet.

"Mr. Walter, Miss Kuci, hello..." Luna's tone was somewhat restrained, and she raised her hand weakly and said hello with a smile on her face.

The image of the conductor is tall and distant, and a famous singer of Kuci's level has only seen portraits on posters. This is the first time she stands so close, and at the same time.

Of course, Fan Ning's explanation in the room inside gave her a lot of confidence, and she did not forget her mission:

"The teacher said that today I only have an appointment with Mr. Walter."

She remembered what the teacher said, no matter whether the investigation team is coming tonight, no matter if there are any great artists visiting, no matter if the archbishop of Fanghui Temple is coming today, he will not be seen!
"Only meeting me?"

Walter was a little surprised when he saw the little girl's appearance. Although there was no such thing as a "lost person" in his belief system, he was undoubtedly very clear about the status of such people in the Southern Continent.

Like Miss Nightingale next to her, she is also an official student of Scheler?Moreover, it seems that he still looks like a personal butler?
Walter was surprised, but Kuci was a little anxious after hearing it, and she couldn't help emphasizing:
"Mr. Scheler, it was Master Luckert who expressed his desire to invite you, and he asked me, a student, to bring you..."

"Please say sorry for me." Fan Ning's voice came from behind the curtain in the box, "Tonight I invited Commander Walter to discuss important matters first, and I can't break the appointment and have no time to spare."

"This..." Ku Ci was stunned, and An was also stunned.

Can you even refuse Master Luckert's invitation! ?

"Luna, if Miss Kuci doesn't mind, you can unscrew the base of that bouquet of fox lily jade flowers for me." Fanning said again.

"Ah?" The little girl was puzzled by this, but seeing Kuci's eyes and advancing posture, she still took the bundle of transparent and cold accessories.

A thin gold base has been unscrewed, and judging from the ratio of weight to overall value, it may be worth more than 100 pounds, accounting for about [-]%.

"Actually, Master Luckert doesn't need to thank you with courtesy." Fan Ning's calm voice came from inside again, "I didn't dedicate any works to him. Poetry belongs to him, and art songs belong to me. If he needs to thank me for writing If there are any songs produced, then I may also have to thank the existence of such a source of poetry... In fact, this is just the synaesthesia of art itself, and has nothing to do with the artist's gift and return."

"Of course, I am still very happy to ask Master Luckert for advice and share my views, but I have an appointment tonight, so I can only talk about it the next day. Taking off a small piece of gold base is just to convey my attitude..."

"Then, Miss Kuci, please go back first." After explaining, Fanning issued the order to evict the guest again.

... This Mr. Scheler is really a strange person who coexists with self-arrogance and respect for others.

"I will convey the meaning to Mr. Luckert. I hope we can talk about it some other day." Ku Ci sighed inwardly, and finally decided to turn around and leave.

Fanning, who was lying on the rocking chair in the middle, exhaled lightly.

In fact, he is not the kind of character who puts his talent and arrogance on his face and actions. He is very willing to communicate with art masters, but if he wants to make some distinctions, he can only do so.

If you follow the "long-sleeved and good at dancing" route as before, the degree of overlap is too high; if you act completely low-key and silent, you will be easily suspected because you are worried about attracting attention.Only now, on the one hand, I repeatedly reject others lightly, and on the other hand, through the students' constant high-profile behavior, this will make people feel that I am arrogant and free and easy, neither "wanting fame and fortune" nor "fearful" Fame and fortune", everything is nothing more than a random act of indifference.

Walter went inside.

He saw Scheler, the troubadour with a melancholy pagan air.

It is true that I have never seen it before, and the name and appearance are extremely strange.

Luna and Ann are doing attentive service for the teacher, fetching towels, pouring cocktails and cutting snacks for Walter.

After a simple greeting and chat, a series of key words popped up in Walter's mind: giant, deduction, conducting, sound balance, phrasing, breathing, color block, texture language...

He obviously hoped to have a chat about his insights on "The First Symphony", but there were too many important points for a while, and he couldn't find where the entry point was.

At this time, Fan Ning smiled and asked:
"Have you considered experiencing the 'Song of Awakening'?"
