Second Piano Concerto

It was more than an hour before the lecture started, and the school's small recital hall was already full of people.A few days ago, after the school put up the poster of the lecture, the news spread quickly. Today, not only the teachers and students of the school came here attracted by the name, but also teachers and students from other schools and some who took the chance to take advantage of the opportunity. The media that interviewed Qin Haiou and Tan Shuo.The time of the lecture was set at 02:30 in the afternoon. Some students went to the auditorium to occupy seats in advance after lunch, but unexpectedly there were many people who were earlier than them, and only the last few rows of seats were left empty in the auditorium. Several rows of seats were quickly occupied by people, and people who came in after that could only fill in the middle and a few aisles near the wall.

So, when Qin Haiou and Tan Shuo stepped onto the podium, they saw this scene: the auditorium in the concert hall was full of seats, and all the aisles were crowded with students sitting neatly on the floor from front to back. There was no place left, and people stood from the last row of the auditorium to the back wall, causing the two doors at the entrance to be unable to close, and many students who could not enter the door, just padded outside the door Peek in on tiptoe.

This multi-functional recital hall has only about [-] seats. It is mainly used for teaching, rehearsal or small-scale internal performances by teachers and students on weekdays. Sometimes master classes are also arranged.At this time, the concert hall was full of people, making the space more cramped and the audience enthusiastic.When the teachers in charge of arranging the lecture saw the battle, they immediately regretted choosing the wrong venue. They expected that the lecture would be very popular, but they did not expect so many people to come, even teachers and students from other schools came. If I had known this earlier, I should have done it in the school auditorium.

But it was too late to regret it at this time. As soon as Qin Haiou showed up, the applause and shouts from the audience exploded, and there were students taking pictures with cameras or mobile phones everywhere he looked.No matter how excited the audience at the concert was, they would still consider the occasion and the corresponding etiquette, but this was an intramural activity organized by the school, and Qin Haiou had an absolute idol status in the hearts of these students, so everyone just wanted to express their opinions to the fullest. The excitement when I saw him, the boiling situation took a while to be calmed down by the teacher who presided over the lecture.

Tan Shuo followed Qin Haiou onto the stage, and when he saw this scene, he instinctively wanted to shrink back.But in this small concert hall, there is almost no distance between the podium and the auditorium. As soon as Tan Shuo came to the stage, he saw Wang Yifu and Yang Qisheng sitting in the middle of the first row of the auditorium, and every other face could also be seen. He could see clearly that there were only him, Qin Haiou and the guest host teacher standing on the podium, and there was no place for him to hide for a while.

The chair of the lecture was the head of the Composition Department. After finally calming everyone down, he gave a short opening remark and introduced the two keynote speakers on stage.During the introduction, there was another warm applause from the audience, and when the applause finally stopped, according to the sequence agreed in advance, Tan Shuo should speak next.

Tan Shuo picked up the microphone in his hand, looked at the audience, and greeted dryly: "Hello, everyone." Then he paused, and then said, "Let me talk about this work first."

As soon as this remark came out, Qin Haiou, who was about to turn around, couldn't help but paused.He knew that Tan Shuo had actually prepared a few opening remarks in advance, the content was roughly to thank the school for the invitation, and because it was the first time to participate in such an event, he had been specifically asked for his opinion.But just now Tan Shuo skipped this passage directly, which shows that this person is quite nervous.Qin Haiou wanted to laugh, so he had to hold back. He wasn't worried that Tan Shuo's nervousness would cause any embarrassment—he still had a microphone in his hand, and even if something happened, he could immediately help Tan Shuo get the situation back—he It's just that it's rare for Tan Shuo to be like this, Feng Shui turns around, and now it's finally his turn to be nervous.

After Tan Shuo finished speaking, he looked at Qin Haiou. The latter understood, turned and walked towards the piano beside him.This so-called podium is the stage in the recital hall, which is occasionally crowded during normal performances, but it is more than enough for a lecture, although there are computers, stereos, projections, seats and a grand piano for performance on the stage , but right now it is the most spacious place in the entire concert hall.According to the agreement between the two in advance, when Tan Shuo was explaining, Qin Haiou would demonstrate the passages he was speaking on the piano to achieve a more intuitive effect.

Qin Haiou sat down in front of the piano over there, and Tan Shuo started here.As a person who has experienced it, Tan Shuo knows exactly what the students want to hear. Regarding the creation of works, it is generally nothing more than how the theme is written, the characteristics and innovations of the work, and the analysis of some important passages, etc.Tan Shuo didn't talk nonsense, he started from the creation of the theme, first played some typical folk song materials collected during the collection, projected them, and then gradually explained the characteristics of these folk music, how to extract their key elements and apply them to the creation of the theme In the book, how the theme is generated, developed and changed, every link has been mentioned.The students in the audience listened to him with curiosity about the mysterious composer at first, but soon they were attracted by what Tan Shuo said, and their curiosity turned into a thirst for knowledge. Take out your notebook and take notes.They found that Tan Shuo always showed a simple and easy-going attitude when analyzing his works, and always directly dissected the most fundamental and crucial parts when facing the key points, without reservation or ambiguity—in short, Tan Shuo Shuo's explanations are pragmatic and efficient, and they are all dry goods.

Seeing that Tan Shuo finally relaxed, Qin Haiou became more and more involved in speaking, and the humor in his personality was revealed inadvertently, making the audience laugh, and he couldn't help but feel very nostalgic.He seemed to have returned to the small upstairs of the rice noodle shop, watching Tan Shuo patiently explaining the score and discussing with him with great interest. At that time, he discovered that Tan Shuo was actually very happy to share music with others, but it was just years of forbearance. Contrary to his nature, let him split his life into two irrelevant parts, frustrated and enthusiastic, desperate and stubborn.But at this moment, this sense of contradiction has completely disappeared from Tan Shuo's body. He stood on the stage in high spirits, spreading out the sentiments condensed by his hard work, and his appearance like countless treasures was focused and sincere, extremely vivid and full of emotions. Charming, the audience listened to his lecture in silence, everyone's thinking was led by him, Qin Haiou knew that this was what Tan Shuo should have been like.

Qin Haiou sat in front of the piano and played some clips in line with Tan Shuo's explanation. When Tan Shuo didn't need it, he turned around and listened carefully, looking like a member of the students.After Tan Shuo finished speaking, Qin Haiou talked about his understanding of this work from the perspective of performance. In addition, the difficulties he encountered in music processing, the process of thinking and solving, and his important experience were also discussed. All selected impressive display.While speaking, he demonstrated on the piano, and when he reached the place Tan Shuo had revised repeatedly, he stopped by the way to talk about the differences before and after the revision and the corresponding performance changes.The students in the audience listened to him and watched him play. Only then did they appreciate the extent to which he understood and thought about the works, polished and studied the details, and they were all in admiration.And as Qin Haiou's explanation gradually deepened, what he said and what Tan Shuo said echoed each other from different angles, and finally made everyone understand an important reason why this work was so successful.

This is a perfect cooperation between the creator and the performer - with the help of the performer, the composer can try out and adjust the work at any time, so that the work is suitable for stage performance from the beginning of its birth, and the performer participates in the whole process He personally experienced the creation process of the work, and naturally has a deep understanding and understanding of the work, which makes it easier to interpret the work.The two souls who love music collide with each other in this process, and they are highly integrated, so that the work also has a soul and emits a soul-stirring sound of life.

Such a lecture, whether it is a composition major or a performance major, feels that it has benefited a lot.After the two finished speaking one after another, the lecture entered the final questioning session. As soon as the host teacher finished speaking, countless hands were raised from the audience. This opportunity is really rare, and no one wants to miss it.
