musicians of old

Chapter 90
"Mr. Fanning." The Marchioness was the first to speak after the performance, "Would you still like to share your criticism? For example, about your prediction for the third stage, or about this string quartet."

"My responsibility is only the music itself." Fan Ning said loudly, "The rest of the right and wrong is left to the music critics and academic colleagues to decide... In addition, I sincerely thank the four performers."

He bowed slightly to the musicians, causing many gentlemen and ladies to follow suit.

"You have expressed your purity and loyalty to art." The Marquise smiled and turned sideways, looking at the guests, "What about everyone? We will simply express our thoughts and then enter the second half of the salon for free discussion."

"Well, me, can I say it first?" Sheeran's weak voice sounded, and her voice trembled a bit on the first words, but immediately recovered.

"Of course, lovely little girl, I am fascinated by your piano skills." The Marquise gave her encouraging eyes.

It is rare for so many celebrities to look around under the spotlight. Sheeran's expression was a little timid, but she said firmly with the piano: "This is Mr. Ka... Fanning's re-examination work for the graduation concert selection competition, um, It has been submitted to the City Music Hall, I hope... I hope ladies and gentlemen, if you like it, you can support him."

After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at Fan Ning, a little embarrassed and relieved, but her eyes seemed to express, "I said I would canvass for you"!
Roy looked at Fanning, then at Sheeran, then at his mother, and finally looked up with a thoughtful expression.

Wouldn't it have been better if he had spoken first just now?

The Marquise smiled when she heard the words: "This string quartet is dedicated to the McAdam family, I don't think I need to express my position, but today is indeed a good opportunity, so many St. Professors and gentlemen at the premiere..."

"According to the selection rules, the school's administrative leaders are not suitable for voting." Vice President Huxley said loudly at this time, "But this does not prevent me from making a personal evaluation. This work is completely different from my expectations..."

"The so-called 'excellent student works' I envisage are nothing more than piles of gorgeous techniques-or obsessed with writing a long and soft romantic melody, or obsessed with differently structured harmonies, complicated textures, and ambitious The pretentious person who prefers grand narratives, trying to force the audience to reason, in fact, the output is all childish private goods..."

"As for this string quartet, to be honest, after only three minutes of playing, I have already overturned my previous expectations, and filled up all the expectations for the subsequent movements. It has a genius level of writing."

Vice President Xu Ci, who had heard Fan Ning play in the impromptu performance, also made a speech at this time and added: "Bright musical image, perfect counterpoint skills, not a single note is redundant, but the dramatic tension is almost overflowing..."

"...I will definitely use it as an example when I go back, and severely criticize those guys in the academy who like to pile up octaves and double notes when writing, or write a series of major chords at every turn! You must know that this kind of work is persuasive to them. It’s different from Xiaopin!”

Everyone agrees that the success of small works can be explained by the burst of inspiration, but the birth of this kind of work is absolutely inseparable from profound musical attainments and sacred artistic inspiration.

Many guests with profound musical literacy feel that it is fortunate that Mr. Fanning is a knowledgeable person, which prevents them from doubting life too much.

"Mr. Carolne Van Ning, I'm going to post an article in the "Tioleen Culture Weekly" after I go back."

The one who said this was the gentleman who spent 1000 pounds a year and systematically sorted out the 50-year history of disputes between "title music" and "pure music": "Whether it is the sonata form of the first movement, the second movement Harmony variations, all show that your compositional techniques have inherited the legacy of pure authenticism...But on the other hand, the title notes not only did not make the music narrow, but brought profound humanistic care and philosophical thinking..."

"Although you didn't explain that conclusion in words, I have already realized something: the direction of Romanticism is to deepen and expand the logic of classical aesthetics while expressing my strong emotions and digging out richer humanistic connotations of this era... I I will try to discuss from the two aspects of "form" and "content" of music aesthetics. Of course, this will take a certain amount of time, and a systematic discussion needs to collect more information, but at least it can be completed in time for the re-examination that Miss Xilan just mentioned Previously seen"

His speech won the applause of the guests, and some golden sentence-style summaries were recorded by many people on memo paper.

"Here is my business card." The gentleman shook hands with Fanning as he returned to his seat.

Don Yettus, editor-in-chief of the music column of "Tioline Culture Weekly".

Fanning thanked him for taking it, carefully put it in his breast pocket, and said, "Sorry, I'm still in school, so I didn't make a business card."

"It's okay, I travel to and from major cities to listen to concerts all year round, and you are welcome to visit the newspaper office of Fort Santaram."

So far, the first half of the salon is over, and the free discussion and social link has come.

The five got together first, and Fanning opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate everyone's perfect performance in the premiere.

Lu reiterated the demand for the reservation of the dedication, and chatted privately with Fanning for a while about the operation of the subway in the imperial capital Santaram Fort, the evaluation of the attractiveness of the ladies' dresses at the party, and the trend of the school symphony orchestra rehearsing the New Year's concert. With a glass of red wine, they joined the mobile social team.

After finishing talking with Lu, Fan Ning went to the bathroom, and was surrounded for more than half an hour on the way back.

"Caroun, why did you take so long to come back, eh? What is this thick pile in your hand?" Sheeran asked.

"Are you concerned? I'll take a look for you." Joan stretched out her hand to snatch it, but Fanning wasn't ready to hold on to it, so it fell into her hand in the next second.

Sheeran leaned over to Joan curiously.

"Three music salons, the invitees are ladies, ladies, and men... Well, it seems that the grades are not as good as this one..."

Qiong crisply broadcast information one by one.

"Free tickets for two people for three concerts. The names of the first two performers are not familiar... The last one is good. On January 1, the Santa Rambo Philharmonic Orchestra's New Year's Tour Uvransel Station... VIP seats, The face value of 2 pounds, this is too expensive..."

"Four dinners and dances, invited by... lady, lady, lady, lady."

"The rest, uh... it seems to be all business cards, ladies, gents, gents, ladies, ladies..."

She murmured to herself suspiciously: "Hey, it's strange. The proportion of ladies among the participants today is indeed slightly higher, but there is not such a big gap?"

Fanning asked: "Joan, you are not full yet... Do you want to cut some more pastries?"

Joan continued to say to herself: "Concerts, salons, dinners, dances... dances... Well, speaking of Caron, your coming-of-age ceremony has been going on for several years, and the marriageable age is not too far after graduation. Proms and the like You can indeed pay more attention to the invitation. Those who can appear on today's occasion are mostly ladies with good family background and education, and excellent appearance and character... Xilan and I can provide you with free services, some preliminary screening consultants It can improve efficiency and prevent you from overscheduling..."

Beads of sweat had already started to appear on Fanning's forehead: "Joan, why have I never seen you understand so well?..."

Sheeran said at this time: "Caron, I think your own judgment will be more reliable."

"I'd better go say hello to the professors first..." Fanning hurriedly stood up from the sofa.
