Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"Brother Carter! How am I doing? Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good! Of course it sounds good! Lisa, Merry Christmas! The gift I prepared for you will be brought to you when I return to New Haven, okay?"

"Okay, thank you."

"And me! And me! Brother Carter, I played the rattle just now. Have you prepared a gift for your favorite Essina?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Carter obviously likes me the most!"

"slightly"

Listening to the noises of the little girls coming from the handset, after listening to more programmed and routine blessings, this kind of life-like voice is the one that can touch Carter's heart the most.
"Okay, girls, you are all my little angels, you know? I don't want to go back and see two tabby cats! Everyone has gifts!"

"Then does my mother have it too?"

"Also!"

"Lisa, are you ready? Call me."

After taking the phone receiver in the child's hand, Olivia's first words were:

"Well, Carter, I don't need my gift. You have helped us a lot. Don't worry about Lisa."

"It's okay, just be careful. During this period of time, my performance level has improved rapidly, and it's all thanks to you!"

Turning his gaze to the Guarneri in the room, Carter smiled.

It is a very special and wonderful feeling that the hobbies of the previous life continue in this life.Sometimes after a tiring day, simply playing two songs under the moonlight is also a very good way to decompress and relax.

For this hobby, I bought all the pianos worth two hundred thousand dollars.For teachers, a little gift is really nothing.
That's right, Adams' violin was taken by Carter in the end.As far as the price is concerned, in addition to [-] US dollars, there is also .
"Don't say that, I know my role clearly. It may be of great help to you, but in fact, the key point lies in yourself. You are so busy these days, you will still stick to class, this is your level of improvement The core reason. As for me, you can find a better teacher than me, and this is not difficult for you!"

"Good or bad is relative, I just look at whether it is suitable or not. At least, I am very happy to study with you, and I have indeed gained something. For me, the tuition is very worthwhile."

"Okay, okay, let's stop courting each other, shall we? Merry Christmas, Carter!"

"Merry Christmas! I am so happy to receive your wishes."

While Carter answered with a smile, he suddenly thought of a question.

The phone was from New Haven, the new phone at Olivia's house, which meant she.
"I was right too. Apart from this situation, there is another thing: Do you still remember what I told you, that I shared the score and record of "Blessed Lovers" with Professor Kassim Riley?"

"I seem to have the impression that it's Professor Riley from the Conducting Department?"

"That's right, when I took Lisa to Yale two days ago, I happened to meet him. He told me that he planned to arrange this piece. I was wondering if you are interested in joining?"

Switching the receiver to the other side, Olivia stroked a strand of hair from her temples:
"In addition to participating in rehearsals and performances as a musician, Professor Riley also needs an assistant. During the rehearsal process, help him express as much as possible. The charm you told me before. Professor Riley is a A conductor who respects the composer, he usually doesn't like to drastically change the composer's original score."

"Oh my god, just say that he is the kind of conductor who is more interested in restoring the idea of ​​composing!"

Carter smiled wryly. From an artistic point of view, people like Professor Riley are a bit like cold soldiers in the art world.

Hyper-realistic oil paintings often make people wonder: the paintings are so similar, although I admit that you are awesome, why don’t you just take pictures?
As a conductor who wants to pursue the idea of ​​replicating composers, this
"Assistant assistant or something, forget it. Based on my current understanding of music, I don't think I'm qualified for this job. If I just participate in the rehearsal and performance of the band and have enough time, I'm interested in this!"

Stand on stage, stand under the spotlight.
This is a picture I have imagined many times, but
Subject to opportunities and one's own level, this idea has always been just an idea.
"This should be enough. Professor Riley means that it should be rehearsed once a week for two hours. The rest of the time is to practice the part of the score that I am responsible for."

"That's no problem, I can do this!"

While nodding in high spirits in response to the matter, Carter casually asked a question:
"If I don't make major changes to the original score of the composition, can I start practicing now? You know, I may have more time during the holidays. Another question is, when is the performance expected? Is it in The Sprague House show or the Sylwood Hall?"

"Well, of course. Even if there are changes, familiarization in advance and practice are very helpful. The specific location of the performance has not been determined, but the time, according to Professor Riley, is planned to be at the end of February. After you return to school, Five or six rehearsals is more or less enough."

"emm, taking the length of "Blessed Lovers" as an example, it took only five to six rehearsals to go on stage, and this is also the first time we have rehearsed music from China. I personally guess that the performance location should be in Sprague. Morse Hall or Parker Hall on the fourth floor of Leigh Hall."

"Yeah, it sounds like an experimental show. Hopefully it's at Morse Hall!"

Although he is not a student of the Yale School of Music, but due to being too close in the past and Olivia's relationship.At this time, Carter was no longer a stranger to the Yale School of Music.
Of the several concert halls at the Yale School of Music, generally speaking, the highest grade is the Sylwood Hall, which was built in 1901.This is not only the main performance venue of the Yale Philharmonic Orchestra, Yale Symphony Orchestra, and New Haven Symphony Orchestra, but also a world-renowned organ in this large concert hall that can accommodate nearly [-] spectators: Newbury Memorial Organ .
One step below Silverwood Hall is Sprague's Morse Hall.The number of spectators that can be accommodated has dropped sharply to more than [-] people, and the size of the stage is only enough to accommodate about [-] people.There is simply no room for larger orchestras, and this is also the concert hall most frequently used by Yale orchestras.

Then there is the Parker Concert Hall. Although the Morse Concert Hall is a bit small compared to the Sylvester Hall, it still needs to occupy two floors in terms of floor height.Parker Concert Hall, but only used the first floor of the fourth floor, here: even smaller!
It is the main venue for performances and rehearsals of some of Yale's small bands, including small chamber orchestras.

For Carter, what he was looking forward to was definitely a stage at Sylwood Hall.It was Carter's dream to participate in that kind of large-scale symphony orchestra performance.
For a small band, you have to know your own level!

It's already very good to mix up the spotlight with the big guys.
On a small stage, wouldn't it be exposed as soon as you pull it? !
