The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 18 Chief
No one in the orchestra dared to say a word.

Although Chen Qiu was just joking, the pressure he brought to them was even greater than spraying them directly.

Metronome as conductor? Are you kidding me?
If a metronome can really be used as a conductor, wouldn't it be great to just put a metronome in the center of the stage?

Or put a metronome in everyone’s headphones at the same time.

Soon everyone started playing according to the metronome?
What else do you want to do with this profession?
Some people just wanted to say something, but suddenly found that they could not speak.

Because during the performance just now, they thought about their performance, and then suddenly discovered...

It seemed that he didn't pay attention to the command's actions at all.

It seemed that he didn't even pay attention to what the conductor was doing over there.

I just play according to the music score and follow the rhythm of the people around me.

Occasionally, I raise my eyes to look at the conductor to see if my rhythm is correct, and that's probably it.

If you say that you watched the instructions carefully and followed them, etc.

This is really hard to say.

And the performance was like that just now. Where did I get the confidence to say that I had been watching the conductor?
As a result, there was a greater silence within the orchestra.

Under this silence, Chen Qiu shook his head slightly, sighed again, and spoke to everyone.

"How does it feel? Did you play it just now?"

Everyone was silent.

Chen Qiu didn't care and spoke directly.

"Well, since you don't want to talk about it, let me briefly talk about the question just now."

Chen Qiu opened the music score in his hand, looked at the content on it, and slowly spoke based on his memory.

"In terms of pitch, it's actually pretty good. There aren't too many outrageous mistakes. The occasional slurs are still understandable, so I won't say anything more. You should know where you went wrong."

"Then the biggest problem now is..."

Chen Qiu raised his head, looked at everyone, and spoke slowly.

"You don't have any logic or ideas about the music as a whole. You are all using your own thinking to interpret the works."

Chen Qiu didn't wait for anyone to speak, and said directly: "Do you remember the first thing I said to you at the beginning?"

"The third seat in the second row of the second violin section is out of tune?" Someone beside him raised his hand and whispered.

Chen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, next sentence."

"Uh... give me a standard A for the oboe?"

"Do you have a good memory?"

Chen Qiu looked at the person who raised his hand angrily, coughed slightly, and corrected him.

"The focus of an orchestra is cooperation, and what is the collaboration of an orchestra?"

No one in the band answered.

Chen Qiu said directly.

"In addition to the most basic ability to coordinate with the ideas of other people in the orchestra, the most important point is that the entire orchestra can have a unified interpretation direction."

Chen Qiu walked down from the command seat and spoke to everyone.

"In the piece we just performed, your most basic coordination was actually pretty good, and there were no particularly big problems. However, your ideas were not unified at all.

For example, Qin Xian, don't worry, Qin Xian, you play very well, don't be nervous, it's not that you have a problem with your playing skills, you will be fine as the principal. "

Chen Qiu smiled at Qin Xian who was sitting there, and then said. "Qin Xian's thinking is mainly about the tension of music. I can hear that Qin Xian has done a lot of music tension and made these tensions very prominent!
If everyone follows Qin Xian's footsteps, then your version of Beiwu is actually very interesting, because it is very similar to Qin Xian, and it is an extremely important version of Beiwu.

At that time, a group of musicians used this extremely exaggerated comparison to express their dissatisfaction with a bass guitar played for Germany during World War II.

But the problem is that this way of interpretation is only done by Qin Xian. The person next to him uses some subtle changes, and his idea is to make it more delicate.

Of course, there is no problem with this. I also know that there is a similar version. The direction of the performance is also biased towards delicate transformation, and the performance is very good!
There was nothing wrong with what they both did, the only problem was...

The two of them are in the same band. "

Chen Qiu returned to his conductor's seat, picked up the pencil on the music stand, and said casually.

"It was my fault that I asked you to start rehearsing directly. In order to make up for my fault, I decided to appoint a few people to become the vocal chiefs."

"First of all, Qin Xian, you are the concertmaster of the orchestra. You are also the concertmaster of the violin section and the string section. The second concertmaster of the violin is next to you."

"Then there's the trombone, the fattest trombone, you're the principal bass, the middle one among the trumpets, the principal of the entire brass section, the oboe, the one who played the standard note for me at the beginning, you He’s the chief woodwind officer.”

“Everyone in our band is free to compete for the lead position, except today. Today everyone must follow the lead’s pace and follow the lead’s ideas, and don’t play randomly on your own.

Since you have become a member of the orchestra, you must follow the rules of the orchestra and pay attention to the beauty of the music.

Now, orchestra leader, you should know what I want. Go talk to the people in your own section and unify your thoughts. Let’s try again! Remember, watch me! "

After that, he stepped back and temporarily gave the stage to the few people he liked.

The strength of these people is not top-notch, but they were the only ones who had been paying attention to him and following his rhythm during the performance just now.

Even if he is in a bad position at the back, I will try my best to follow his rhythm and move forward.

Especially this Qin Xian.

This Qin Xian is very interesting.

He looked very, very depressed, as if he was going to send it at any time.

But for some reason, it was as if there was a breath of energy supporting him, allowing him to barely survive.

In the rehearsal just now, he was also the one who followed his interpretation the most closely.

Especially when he completely relaxed his control, his desperate look was simply amazing!
Hmm... maybe it's his own personal characteristic?

Chen Qiu shook his head slightly. Regardless of whether it was his own personal characteristics or not, he was the assistant he needed most in this orchestra.

This was also the main reason why he directly made him temporarily the orchestra leader.

If it doesn't work, change it.

Chen Qiu looked at the crowd surrounding the half-dead Qin Xian, and after confirming the complete interpretation of his thoughts, he returned to the command seat.

He picked up the pencil in his hand and tapped the music stand in front of him again. After completely attracting everyone's attention, he spoke to everyone.

"Okay, let's do it again. I believe you can do a good job in the music content, so the most important thing now is..."

Chen Qiu pointed at himself and smiled.

"Watch me."

　I added 3 chapters and saved the manuscript, and I reached chapter 28. I suddenly became passionate as I wrote it.

　　So cool.

　　Unfortunately you have to wait five days to see it.

　　Hehe hehe
