Old-time musicians

Time went by day by day.

The rehearsal went on as scheduled, but the members went through a turbulent mental journey.

Fanning's words that day did pull them back from their depressed mood after hearing the news, but many people were skeptical at first and had wild thoughts while rehearsing.

Fortunately, the four core principals played a good and reassuring leading role, and they gradually discovered that Fanning was indeed rehearsing attentively, picking up details bit by bit, adjusting the processing methods of each part, trying to adjust the desired sound effects, and constantly modifying and optimizing his score.

This student who is both a composer and conductor has a pair of ears that are so sharp that they are unmatched. He can hear the flaws of any instrument in more than 20 parts, including those in the secondary parts.

Many times, everyone feels that the overall effect of a certain section sounds wrong, which may be emotional or timbre, but they cannot find the specific reason. Fanning can gradually find out the specific instrument processing method through several attempts - such as making the curve of the brass crescendo slower or steeper, making the timing of the string rushing forward a few bars earlier or later, changing the way the woodwind breathes, or making some notes weaker and some notes stronger when all members play chords together, highlighting an inner voice or bass line that everyone has never noticed before.

Then the effect becomes different after a few times.

And although Fanning is clear about the mistakes of each member, he does not blame them too much. He only gives some hints when the problem is relatively big, and encourages members to adjust themselves in most cases.

Fanning knows that this is not the same as being responsible for a band in the future.

This strategy of focusing on the big and letting go of the small not only let everyone know that their mistakes were noticed, but also felt that they were treated tolerantly. As a result, everyone was completely convinced by Fanning's conducting level, and their confidence in playing was gradually strengthened, and the confidence in this matter influenced the confidence in another matter.

As for the outside world, neither the school nor Fanning gave further explanations. It seemed that the statement on the bulletin board was the "final version" recognized by both parties.

In this case, no matter how fierce the public opinion is, no matter how eye-catching the media reports are, the heat will gradually decrease.

It is unknown whether there is an undercurrent, at least on the surface, the heat will gradually decrease, and the volume of various places on campus will not appear noisy.

But some careful people also noticed that the students recruited by Fanning are still organizing rehearsals, and recruitment and recommendation are still continuing.

In April, many people secretly asked the musicians who participated in the rehearsal, and the musicians confirmed that the graduation concert will still premiere on the day.

This made the other half of the supporters who were eager to hear Fanning's "Symphony No. 1 in D Major" sound like seeing a turnaround, a sense of surprise similar to "resurrection from the dead", but they were also confused. Was the statement in black and white that day false, or was there something else hidden?

They further expressed this doubt, but did not get any effective information - mainly because those who were asked did not know the intention themselves, and could not explain it.

By May, the atmosphere became calmer and no one tried to find out what was going on. The other half of the people believed that Fanning was just preparing for the premiere at a concert after the graduation concert.

Leading an orchestra to premiere his own symphony in the symphony hall of a world-class music school is still a major event in his artistic career, a strength and honor of his own, and an experience that most music students will hardly have in their lifetime, right?

Recruitment continued, but progress was increasingly slow. In the later period, the number of students was less than 70, and we barely made up the three-pipe staffing. Finally, we lowered the admission criteria and selected several students with good wind instrument foundation in the Department of Music, and barely made up the average of four woodwind and brass instruments.

Trumpets could not be gathered up to five, but Fanning stated several times that the number of French horns must be seven. Finally, we finally gathered them all and entrusted Lu to do some intensive exercises for them. When playing, they just had to play along with the four in front to increase the momentum and volume.

This was also a helpless solution.

May 23, the day before the graduation concert, Woodpecker Consulting Office.

Today's rehearsal ended early, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and then Fanning, Sheeran, and Joan used their free time in office 209 to study literature as usual.

The translation of this "Illusionary Secret Art" document, which is more messy than a ball of yarn, is still led by Hiran. Joan is an assistant, and Fanning only undertakes some auxiliary work, sorting out the fragments they disassembled.

It was late at night. According to their usual schedule, several people went home to sleep early, but today no one wanted to get up.

Because they gradually found that the progress of sorting out various fragments before might have reached a stage breakthrough today!

"Joan, has the supplementary explanation numbered 1260 been translated?"

"It has been translated, pointing to the indexes numbered 41, 61, 225, and 226. Carloen, give them to me."

"Huh? They were translated a few months ago. I'll find out where they are."

"The prayer at No. 868 is connected. It was introduced by the supplementary explanation No. 10, and then several obscure phrases can be found in the comments No. 445, 450, and 710. Hiran, which sentence is this explained?"

"It's the index of Group 76 and Group 120. But Group 120 can be ruled out. We confirmed before that it was just a replacement sentence of the prayer in 652 places... I'll look for Group 76. I remember this title. It was also extracted last year, but there is no text."

Shiran opened the drawer and searched for a few minutes in a pile of colorful notes clipped with clips, and then pulled out a piece.

"Carlon, what does the title of this index mean?" Shiran asked, holding the ancient Chaniz language on the red note No. 76.

Fanning split a pile of blue, green and white small notes in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Shiran's hand: "On the triple death."

"On the triple death?" Joan repeated curiously, "Shiran, what does the text paragraph say now?"

Shiran said: "Well, this is what I just put together with part of Noah, part of Gulang and part of Gujanus. It can be translated like this-"

"Man has his meals, his fire, his clock and joy, until the soil fills his mouth, Sweetness fills the throat and nose, this is not the end, but the beginning. He needs witnesses, and the narrator is happy to see him. When the window frame is rolled down, the inscription does not exist, only the glow gives it existence, watching its demise, if the candlelight cannot illuminate the soul, every day, his reflection will drift farther. "
