After inviting each other, the leading professors went to their respective seats, and the lecturers took the stage.Yang Jingxing was also affected by the atmosphere of the scene and let go of the social expression on his face. After standing still, he looked serious. He looked at the hundreds of people in the audience, and it took a few seconds to think of what to say: "About intelligence, talent, Talent, talent, there are many words with different emphases in Chinese. Wisdom, emphasizing wisdom, talent, emphasizing emotion, talent, emphasizing thinking, talent, emphasizing personal style, talent, emphasizing method. I prefer the one that sounds not Then you can use the slightly mediocre words, talent, and work."

Amidst the seriousness and ignorance, a Chinese student, Lu, smiled fleetingly, and seemed to be able to connect with domestic standards.

Yang Jingxing didn't smile: "Doing means doing. Empty talk is not talent. A person's talent is made up of how he does it. He does a lot and does it well. There are so many great musicians, and every outstanding work of them is There are too many hows to learn. We can try to find out which hows their general talents are composed of, and who are you most interested in?"

The lecturer also called for universal suffrage, but no one bought it, and the students continued to watch the stage without making a sound, feeling that it was non-violent non-cooperation.

Yang Jingxing laughed along: "Isn't there?"

The delicate black girl joined in again: "Beethoven!"

Obviously, some people don’t appreciate Beethoven that much. A boy with a South Asian appearance immediately called out Bach’s full name, and then Haydn, Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and other names also came up one after another. Debussy Prokofi Yevshostakovich is also somewhat popular, and even Guy Hardman is even appreciated by Moritz.But the comparison is still obvious. Curtis's atmosphere is more nostalgic than Julia's. It seems that no one has mentioned Stockhausen Ligeti, and even Copeland has been forgotten.

In the end, it was still dominated by a few giants, and the fans were evenly matched.

"Okay." The lecturer made the audience quiet with a gesture: "How many people want to review Haydn's talent?"

Fewer than ten audience members raised their hands or spoke up.

Yang Jingxing counted his sights: "Where's Mozart?"

There are about thirty students and teachers in total, but Bach is slightly inferior to Mozart.The number of people supporting Beethoven increased significantly, almost more than half, although some people raised their hands repeatedly.Tchaikovsky, it seems, did not lose to Mozart.

"Okay." Yang Jingxing could only follow the public opinion: "Beethoven."

Curtis's students are really pious. Many Beethoven supporters are overjoyed. Some people clap their hands in celebration or clenched their fists to shout.

Yang Jingxing continued: "Which work should we talk about?"

Beethoven's supporters immediately fell out. The major symphonies, concertos, sonatas, and green vegetables and radishes each had their own preferences. Fans of other composers also keenly seized the opportunity to stand in line to promote division.At the critical moment, a row of students united in time. They shouted together with a powerful sense of rhythm like watching a football game: "appassnata! appassnata!" and quickly led the people around them.

"Sonata of Passion" has been studied and admired more than "Moonlight Sonata", because it is Beethoven's middle and late works, which are more mature and profound than the earlier works. It is much higher than "Moonlight", so "Sonata of Passion" is recognized as the peak in the history of piano art.

The voice of "enthusiasm" quickly stabilized and even unified the situation, so that the enemy's schemes could not succeed and they shot themselves in the foot instead. The faces of the Curtis people were full of pride and even the joy and glory of victory.

The lecturer was a little helpless: "Sonata of Passion, what more can I say?"

The audience immediately put on a straight face, it is impossible for anyone to help.

Yang Jing walked to the piano, but this time he didn't sit down, and stood disrespectfully. He played the main theme of the first movement for two bars, and then uttered nonsense: "It sounds ordinary, even boring. Everyone can come up with these motives and themes, let's see what happens next... this harmony... this gradation... this grace note... is a continuation of the motive, but it's so careful, it's not thorough enough It’s not clear enough either.”

The audience nodded one after another, they all knew this, at least they could understand it.

"Who did this before Beethoven?" The lecturer seemed to no longer need opinions, interaction, or even trust the audience, so he answered quickly: "I think of Bach and Haydn..."

The lecturer bounced Bach and Haydn again, and the audience had no chance to express different opinions.

After playing a few more bars, Yang Jingxing became more self-talking: "Similar means, very different musical effects, why, because of Beethoven's theme. Listen to this half-cause... the expansion after the half-cause... After the expansion, the declension is terminated, it is normal, but the musical color of the piece is no longer common, how did Beethoven do it?"

The students still did not help and continued to watch.

Yang Jingxing did an experiment: "If one tone of the theme is changed like this, it seems that the change is not big, but what will happen in the presentation part..."

After listening to the lecturer's adaptation of two sections, some students have already started laughing, it's obviously funny.

What Yang Jingxing wants to say is: "Then there is a connection between how to do it, which allows us to think about why they do it, the reason for the technology, and the reason for the inspiration..."

Next, the lecturers stopped giving demonstrations, and started talking nonsense, and sometimes pretending to ask the audience's opinions and opinions was just for himself to connect the past with the next, and Yang Jingxing didn't really give the audience a chance to express their opinions.

It seems that the audience did not want to say anything. After all, Curtis is a school that focuses on cultivating soloists. Most of the students do not have a deep understanding of musicology, music history and composition technology theory, so the divergence of the speaker's inferences from one instance is quite good. bluffing.

Yang Jingxing also spoke faster and faster, and he could list more than a dozen works by six composers in two to three minutes with just a reflection technique, and also pointed out the different objects and goals of the same method.

The audience, especially the students, are getting more and more difficult. Most of them can only stare at the stage in a daze, and don't bother to nod.Those who took notes were not as particular as they were at the beginning, and began to scribble.

It took about twenty minutes for Yang Jingxing to finally sort out the creation of "Sonata of Passion". What he said was more due to the divergent thinking of the work, so it would not be without new ideas.

Yang Jingxing's summary of the Passion Sonata is: "... nothing that Beethoven did was his unique skill, but he managed to make it unique because he knew better how to do it, which hardly involved luck. Sometimes luck is the most pleasing choice, but good luck is much more difficult than talent and hard work.”

The chicken soup worked again, and the audience was visibly motivated, applauding enthusiastically and turning serious into uplifting.

Yang Jingxing couldn't ignore the blond girl who raised her hands high instead of clapping and looked anxious: "Please speak."

The girl also stood up, adjusted her posture so that it was a bit contrived, and put on an exaggerated and joyful expression that would definitely break her spine in Puyin. My name is Caroline, Caroline Sterling, and I play the cello. You are very welcome to Curtis and it is an honor to meet you in person, I hope you enjoy your time here."

"Thank you." Yang Jingxing waited quietly.

The blond girl adjusted her status again, looking more excited but unable to speak: "Mr. Yang, I think... If you can give some explanations about the performance of this piano sonata, it will definitely make today more memorable and exciting , make this Sunday more perfect!" After finishing speaking, she continued to be embarrassed, looking so shy and shy.

Is it true that Americans like to be coy? As soon as the blond girl finished speaking, the Curtis people immediately gathered in support, nodding and applauding, and they seemed so heartfelt.

Yang Jingxing didn't seem to be very active: "There's not much time... Okay, do you have a favorite performer?"

"You!" The blond girl seemed to warn the speaker who had made a mistake: "Mr. Yang, of course it is you! That's why I waited for you to appear today with excitement."

It was really embarrassing, and what was even more embarrassing was that Yang Jingxing laughed at himself, but the others didn't laugh, and all stared at the lecturer's ugliness.

Yang Jingxing quickly corrected himself: "I didn't expect...except me?"

Blonde girls don't seem to have a second choice, thinking and thinking.Fortunately, Graffman spoke in time, turned his body on the chair to look at more students, and said in a loud voice: "How many people have listened to this person's recording? It doesn't matter, I believe he will not ask you to pay for it of."

At the critical moment, experts and masters came, and the scene was revitalized immediately. The audience was all happy, and then they actively participated in group activities. Some people raised their hands if they heard about it.

Thinking about the good, only about one-third of the people have listened to the rough recording from a few years ago, and it’s not over yet. Yang Jingxing still has some leeway: "Thank you for those who haven’t heard it, you are so kind, but please You don't look down on other people, I think they just want to be an appreciative person, they dare to challenge."

It seemed that no one accepted the lecturer's overtures, and there were few smiles. That so-called Caroline stood up again and said solemnly: "Yes, it is indeed a challenge. When I first listened to your recordings, I found it difficult to grasp your skills. , made me feel very familiar and very strange. I didn't know how to describe your playing for a while. It took me a long time to know how to recommend your recording to my friends. What makes me proud is that I believe I have done it , I can now listen to them calmly with excitement, not only the Passion Sonata, but also Mozart in A minor, Tempest, Schubert, your C sharp minor... My professor told me that when I can recognize a performer I can better understand the advantages when there are shortcomings, but I don’t think perfection or imperfection is important to your performance. I can’t listen to your performance with that state of mind. I make things simple. I Just listening to music."

Yang Jingxing was also considered strong, he could listen to such a long series of murderous words calmly under the eyes of everyone, and answered the words as if nothing had happened: "What your professor said is very reasonable, and it is the same for me. I thought that when I was playing the Passion Sonata, I loosely dealt with the phrase connection of the sub-theme of the first movement, and did not make a strict relationship between the crescendo of the articulation point and the rhythm change in the tenth to sixteenth bars of the second movement. Etc., etc……"

The blond girl is not stupid either, she laughed: "So, what are your strengths?" Many audience members also laughed.

After finally saving the situation, Yang Jingxing just wanted to quickly turn the page: "Okay, to be serious, if you are limited to Beethoven or the "Sonata of Passion", who is the performer you most admire and who has found shortcomings?"

The audience laughed silly for a while, and then the blonde girl said: "Before that, I admired Richter the most."

Yang Jingxing just nodded and didn't look over, looking forward to others: "What else?"

The names of the major performers were gradually listed, and the supporters of these names also appeared one after another, and slowly there was a tendency to compete for the top.

Yang Jingxing didn't dare to split anymore, he tried to please everyone in another way: "Okay, let's talk about Schnabel, Backhaus, Kopf, Serkin, Rubinstein, Brendel, Hollow Weitz, Gilels, Richter, Pollini."

It didn't work either. Seeing that the number of lecturers had run out of names, the audience was expressionless. No one expressed joy and support. Even that Caroline misunderstood the expression of the lecturer.

Yang Jingxing only asked: "Time is running out, let me briefly talk about it. First of all, the first movement presents the theme of the department..."

The people who watched the lecture went to the piano again, and many listeners finally got their wish.

After Yang Jingxing sat down, he first talked about the most famous point: "The appearance of the motive in "Symphony of Destiny", I think Backhouse's performance is the most characteristic, like this..."

The lecturer's demonstration made the audience nod and make those fussy expressions.

Yang Jingxing talked to himself again: "Selkin's timbre processing is the most stylish, I believe many people like such mysterious changes..."

Pu Yin's students really can't do such things as widening their eyes and covering their mouths after listening to the demonstration for four or five sections.

Yang Jingxing still glanced at the audience for a while: "Richter's timbre is equally charming, but what I think is commendable is his emphasis on the contrast between the two pieces of material, probably like this..."

There are already students pulling their hair out.

Lecturers would not appreciate it. He gave examples and imitated all the prominent features of the masters, without touching on the shortcomings at all, such as Backhaus's unique treatment of the reproduction department, Kempf's light and dark changes and the first connection, Huo Lowitz's clear layering, Schnabel's contrast between left and right hands, Brendel's Viennese style... Sometimes you have to compare the performers' performance methods when playing other repertoires.

The audience gradually became numb, and eventually they didn't have any expressions and movements, and no one took notes. Anyway, it was going to end anyway, so just watch it.

Someone has entered the concert hall again, this is too late.Curtis's discipline is also a problem, and he was let in, and the classmates are not surprised, but it has nothing to do with him.

When the person who entered the arena when the lecture was about to end in a few minutes, he carried the piano case in one hand and went to the wall to lift a small chair and sat down in the backcourt, probably because of his clothes or his posture and pace, he gradually attracted him. More and more people are paying attention, and many people have to take a second or even a third look quickly after seeing it for the first time, and then some people's expressions have changed when they are in the stands, some are happy and some seem to be regretful.

The person who was most in a hurry was actually the lecturer. The third movement had just started, and he had no time to greet those who were late.The audience was not surprised by the latecomers for long, and was numb again by the stage after a while.

Regarding the reappearance and the ending of the third movement, Yang Jingxing had already said it in one sentence, and was too lazy to say anything in detail. Finally, he thought of a small interaction: "I will play another part of the first movement."

The audience continued numb.

This time the lecture was played by a lot of people, and it was close to 3 minutes of enthusiastic and crazy clips. The audience seemed to feel something and gave some reactions.

After the termination, Yang Jingxing looked at the audience.

The audience nodded in praise, and then the enthusiastic participants began to reason and guess, Kissing's style?Kind of like Arau.Van Cliburn?Guessing Argerich is not too much, and some people think that Beethoven probably played like this himself.

Yang Jingxing announced the answer: "A 14-year-old boy in Puhai..."

There is no reason for this, and at this time, they still have to play tricks, and the audience was shocked.

Yang Jingxing stood up and said the concluding remarks loudly: "I believe that you all have the same astonishing talents. I hope that everyone's talents can be put to good use. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Rousseau, thank you Professor Graffman, Professor Kushner, and I I think your talents are far beyond musicians, thank you for your contribution!"

The leading experts began to applaud the leaders while paying tribute to the stage.

Yang Jingxing hadn't finished speaking yet, looking at the back: "Nice to meet you, Miss Cole."

The students like Curtis are also really good at acting. They turned their heads to look in surprise as if they had just found out that Hillary Cole was sitting in the back.

Hilary Cole, who had just sat for less than 10 minutes, didn't take the lecturer's face seriously. She nodded with a star-like smile, and raised her fingers to open and close a few times, as if she was an acquaintance.Hilary Cole's make-up and clothes look like they are going to a concert, but there is still a difference between the real person and the record cover.

Yang Jingxing didn't take too much heat from the big star, and said to the audience again: "Thank you." Then he stepped off the stage.

The applause officially started. The audience like Curtis was pretty good, and they all turned their attention from the big star back to the lecturer. The overwhelmed slaps were extraordinarily joyous, and they began to stand up.

The audience stood up and applauded. The temperament of the application was a bit like the audience in New York the night before yesterday. Even Hillary Cole did it well.

The lecturer who got off the stage will be embarrassed, he can never go back to the stage, and he can't pretend that he is also a big star to reward the audience with a handshake.Yang Jingxing had no choice but to stand still at the front of the stage. Nodding his head was not enough, so he thanked him several times loudly.
