Chapter 75 Satisfaction

Tonight there is a special performance by the string department, held in the old concert hall.The major performance departments of the Conservatory of Music will have special performances every semester. This is the highlight, and each department attaches great importance to it. Students are also willing to be spectators, especially freshmen.Next week it will be the piano department's turn, so An Xin and Yu Xinting are preparing recently, and they will go to observe tonight.Yang Jingxing also went to join in the fun, because Liu Siman and the others would also be on stage.Qi Qingnuo also came, and they sat together.

The concert lasted for more than two hours, not only the students came on stage, but also the teachers.They are all elites, and the quality of performances is nothing to say.The quintet was very exciting, and the solo also had many highlights.

It was almost ten o'clock, and Yang Jingxing went to [-] to fight again.I went home after twelve o'clock and went to Fu's BBQ to take a look, but Fu Feirong hadn't come back yet.Yang Jingxing called to ask, Fu Feirong said that she was off work and she was helping to clean up, and her brother would pick her up later.

On Tuesday morning, Yang Jingxing was called to the office by He Hongchui, who asked him why he didn't participate in the composition competition held by the Puhai Music Association. Many freshmen signed up enthusiastically.

Yang Jingxing said that he was not mature enough.It wasn't Yang Jingxing's decision to say that He Hongchui was immature, and he also ordered: "Just sort out "Sun in the Rain" and give it to me, and I'll fill it in for you."

Yang Jingxing was honored: "You have heard it."

He Hongchui disdained: "I don't know what you guys do every day!"

Yang Jingxing had no choice but to obey, and finished the score in the afternoon and gave it to He Hongchui.After reading it, He Hongchui was very satisfied, praised it for a while, and finally said something unintentionally: "You are making a lot of fun in the North Tower? Pay attention to the impact."

Yang Jingxing also agreed to the unclear words.

He Hongchui added: "The Conservatory of Music is a romantic place, but it is also a serious place. I hope you can be more serious in life and more romantic in professional study."

Yang Jingxing did not refute.

It was Saturday in a blink of an eye, Yang Jingxing went to pick up Tao Meng early in the morning as agreed, and Yu Xinting didn't even have time to see her off.Tao Meng came downstairs still so beautifully, her face was full of spring breeze, and after getting in the car, she said that she wanted to listen to "Xiaguang".

Tao Meng blamed Yang Jingxing for not bringing the CD.She brought her own mp3, but Yang Jingxing's car didn't support it.Tao Meng said that the whole family has heard the song she wrote the lyrics, and seeing how happy she is, she must have received a lot of praise.

Yang Jingxing pointed to the rolled music paper on the instrument panel: "Let's preview first."

Tao Meng picked it up, and blamed again: "It's broken here, why are you so careless!" She opened it carefully to look, the name was written "Wind and Rain Together", she glanced at Yang Jingxing, and smiled slyly.

Tao Meng didn't have that strong sense of music yet, so she couldn't tell if the music was good or bad just by looking at the score, but she could tell that it was an ensemble of two instruments, and one part was relatively simple.

Yang Jingxing explained, the complicated thing is the piano, and the simple one is the trumpet.A mouthpiece for a trumpet is definitely not as rich as 88 keys.

Tao Meng was dissatisfied: "You are partial to yourself!"

Yang Jingxing said, "We can change."

Tao Meng disdained: "Hmph, you can't trouble me, Dangdangdang...Has Yu Xinting played it?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "You are the first to see this score."

Tao Meng didn't care, and said, "What if I don't like it?"

Yang Jingxing was not afraid: "Change it until you like it."

Tao Meng criticized again: "This place is dirty, you have to write it again! This is the same as homework, if you make it dirty, it will not give a good first impression."

Yang Jingxing complained: "Thousands of notes, you think it's easy to draw."

After watching it once, Tao Meng became suspicious: "Is there 8 minutes?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If you want to play for a long time, you can play it in eight to 10 minutes."

"That doesn't count!"

Yang Jingxing said again: "You just have to be fast, if you can finish playing in 8 minutes, you are really good."

Tao Meng hurriedly stepped up to preview.

After arriving at school, Tao Meng took three steps and two steps, just wanting to get to [-] as soon as possible.Before nine o'clock, there was no one in the building, let alone [-].

Yang Jingxing 'plugged in' the electric piano for Tao Meng, and the music stand stood up.Tao Meng said, "Let me take another look...you didn't mark the finger."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "That's too small of you."

Tao Meng snorted, "I know how to play... it's just a little difficult here."

After Tao Meng had read enough, she put away the scores, there were only about twenty sheets, and complained: "It's hard to turn."

Yang Jingxing said, "I'll read it for you."

Tao Meng asked, "Are you not together?"

Yang Jingxing said, "You should get acquainted first."

Tao Meng refused: "No, you want to be together."

Alright, Yang Jingxing picked up the trumpet.

It starts with a short piano prelude, and then the trumpet catches up.This is a less rigorous two-part polyphonic work, the piano and the trumpet follow each other, and all kinds of counterpoint techniques are basically used.The melodies of the two instruments have many ups and downs, and the piano chords are not very complicated, which is also for Tao Meng's consideration.

Tao Meng started to play, the rhythm was barely right, but unfortunately it was the first time and it was not smooth.This was difficult for Yang Jingxing, who played the trumpet for a long time.

Fortunately, the general sense of the melody has been calculated, and it is beautiful and beautiful.Especially the piano, the melody and chords are all refined, even if taken alone, it is a masterpiece.

Tao Meng originally wanted to finish playing quickly, but unfortunately she couldn't bear to destroy the beautiful rhythm after playing.She wanted to focus on listening to Yang Jingxing's trumpet again, it was very attractive... In short, she was very busy.

After playing for only 2 minutes, Tao Meng stopped suddenly and praised Yang Jingxing: "This piece is nice...you can play it for me first."

Yang Jingxing hasn't played it a few times yet, but he must be many times better than Tao Meng.He sat in front of the keyboard and explained to Tao Meng while playing: "The prelude should be very light...here should be a little heavier, and the chords should be lighter...here, the two voices are performed in parallel, pay attention to the trumpet...here , you are the protagonist, you played a little slower just now..."

Tao Meng's eyes widened and she listened very carefully.Yang Jingxing played it intermittently, and after spending a quarter of an hour explaining it, Tao Meng asked him to play it again without further explanation.

Yang Jingxing played it completely, and Tao Meng sat on his right, looking at his fingers at first, and then slowly saw his face.

What a beautiful melody, that beautiful theme is always interspersed, appearing and disappearing from time to time, but it is a pity that sometimes it disappears too quickly, or appears too suddenly, and there is a little sense of dissonance.

The entire melody of the piano is 8 minutes long, and the front and rear structures are relatively complicated. In addition to the soft and indifferent prelude, there are various expressive techniques, variations, canons, and progressives, and there is also a more modern sense of atonality.

Of course, when Yang Jingxing wrote this piece, he didn't do it to train his composition skills. His starting point was to make it sound good, and Tao Meng thought it sounded good, and it was relatively easy to play it.

After Yang Jingxing finished playing, he looked at Tao Meng and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Tao Meng was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "It hasn't been decided yet."

Yang Jingxing said: "Your smile betrayed you."

Tao Meng pursed her lips and tried not to smile: "I'll play it instead! I'll play first, and you can tell me if there is something you are not familiar with."

Tao Meng was not familiar with too many places, Yang Jingxing told them one by one, but Tao Meng showed great patience, looked at the score, looked at the keyboard, looked at Yang Jingxing, and nodded.

After studying for half an hour, Tao Meng could manage to play the trumpet smoothly, and asked Yang Jingxing to pick up the trumpet again.

A new ensemble began, although the performance was still not qualified in this music academy, but the smile on Tao Meng's face showed that she seemed to have less high demands on herself suddenly.

The two parts of piano and trumpet follow each other, sometimes go hand in hand, sometimes set off each other, sometimes stand out, and sometimes chase each other.The whole piece of music can be divided into three parts, each of which is highlighted in 2 minutes, compared with each other, and the theme is highlighted by variations and progressions.The middle 3 minutes are mainly to imitate each other, time is near and time is far away, fade in and fade out, mainly polyphony.In the last 3 minutes, it merged and became Canon.In the first part, the piano is elegant and refined, while the trumpet is loud and generous.In the second part, the piano and trumpet are brighter and more cheerful, but several variations are slightly melancholy.The last part is the most beautiful. The pleasant melody of the piano part and the fresh and high-spirited trumpet gradually get closer and closer to the melody. At the end of half a minute, it returns to the comprehensive presentation of the two subjects and blends them into one. .

After playing, Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing.She may not be able to analyze the structure and connotation of the music line by line, nor can she describe her own feelings in detail, but Menuhin said that the unimaginable sensitivity of the human ear plays a role in the complex interaction between our hearing and emotions. Huge effect.

The effect of "Wind and Rain Together" on Tao Meng was obviously pleasant. Her smile at this time was much brighter and more real than when Yang Jingxing told a boring joke. don't bother.It seems that the feeling from the bottom of her heart is spreading out on her face, eyebrows, nose, cheeks, lips, eyes... There are countless details that are undetectable, but pleasing to the eye.

Yang Jingxing also laughed, and the two looked at each other and smiled for a while.Yang Jingxing asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Tao Meng nodded, sorted out the score that was scattered because of flipping too fast, looked at Yang Jingxing again, and asked, "Have you shown it to others?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Not yet."

Tao Meng said, "I've never seen a piano and trumpet ensemble before...do you think I play well?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay!"

Tao Meng said modestly, "It's definitely not as good as a professional."

Yang Jingxing said, "It's better than anything else for me."

Tao Meng seemed shy. She looked up at the score in her hand for a while and asked, "Then when will you let others listen to it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's already yours, it's up to you to dispose of."

Tao Meng asked again: "Do you want to go to Molecule Restaurant at noon?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I didn't think much about it."

Tao Meng decided: "Then we won't go, let's practice for a while."

This practice lasted all morning, the trumpet was not a piano, it almost swelled Yang Jingxing's mouth.Fortunately, the piano is not difficult. Tao Meng has improved every time, and she is still complacent.

After resting for a while, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing, "Why did you write such a long piece so quickly?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Good luck, burst of inspiration, plus hard work."

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "Didn't you say that you don't rely on inspiration!"

Yang Jingxing said, "You proved me wrong."

Tao Meng smiled and asked, "What is your first work?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The time when it starts is the first song, and the time when it is completed is the third song."

Tao Meng was dissatisfied: "How many songs do you write at the same time?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's like learning several subjects at the same time, there is no conflict."

Tao Meng reasoned loudly: "That's not the first song!"

Yang Jingxing said: "The idea was conceived very early. It used to be piano and violin, but later it was changed to trumpet. Originally, it was pure fugue. Now there are more elements, and the intervals and string alignment are more complicated."

Tao Meng tapped her right heel on the ground very rhythmically: "That's not it!"

Yang Jingxing annoyed: "Is it because I don't know yet!"

Tao Meng asked again: "Then do you think your song is the best?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Of course it's this one."

Tao Meng nodded: "I think it's the same... let's go to lunch again."

Tao Meng seemed to be in a state of rest, and the last time she played spiritually, she didn't need to read the score a lot of the time, she played neatly and gently, and looked at Yang Jingxing from time to time.

After playing it one time, Tao Meng praised herself: "It sounds so good, it would be great if I could record it."

Yang Jingxing asked, "Now I regret that no one else is here."

Tao Meng raised her head: "I don't!"

The two went to eat, opened the door and came out, and found four people in the corridor outside, three men and one woman were lying on the wall writing and drawing.Seeing Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing, these people looked a little embarrassed and stood there looking at each other.

Tao Meng nodded enthusiastically: "Hello."

The four nodded in response, and a tall boy greeted Yang Jingxing: "Hi, Yang Jingxing."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "We meet again." This guy is also Li Yingzhen's student, a sophomore, and he met him in the small classroom before.

The boy glanced at Tao Meng again, then smiled dryly at Yang Jingxing: "We're bored, and we're memorizing your songs."

Looking at the music papers in the hands of each of these people, Yang Jingxing was very distressed: "Don't make fun of me for being bored!"

Tao Meng scolded Yang Jingxing for a glance, and then said, "If you want, you can ask him directly...it's so troublesome."

A few people laughed dryly, and the tall boy explained: "I'm practicing listening, I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

The girl spoke and looked at Tao Meng: "You played the piano just now, right?"

Tao Meng nodded, looking embarrassed: "It's a shame."

"No! You play very well... I saw you several times, but I never thought you could play the piano." The girl looked at Yang Jingxing again.

This girl is not ugly, Tao Meng told Yang Jingxing, "Please introduce me!"

Yang Jingxing complied: "Hello, my name is Yang Jingxing, freshman from the Composition Department, and this is my high school classmate Tao Meng from Fudan University."

The embarrassed people laughed and introduced themselves, and then the girl from the brass department asked Tao Meng, "Can we make a copy of the score?"

Tao Meng was a little embarrassed: "We are going to have dinner now, can you make an appointment again."

Yang Jingxing said to the tall boy, "I'll give it to you on Monday, okay?"

"All right, thank you." The other party nodded repeatedly.

Tao Meng may have been hungry after playing all morning, so she was in a hurry to leave: "Then goodbye, bye."

"Goodbye."

Seeing Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng go downstairs, the people here complained for a while, feeling that it was really embarrassing, and scolded the tall boy who called them here.The girl in the brass department questioned: "It's not as exaggerated as they said, they are both pretty good."
