The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 2 Command Talent Training Strategy Plan
The class ended soon, and Chen Qiu also sat in his seat and packed his belongings, preparing to go back to the old theater in his memory.

In my memory, it seems that since my parents passed away, the band also broke up. Most of the people have left, leaving only the last one or two who are still hanging on.

He wanted to go back and see what was going on.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he stood up, the voice of Professor Li sitting in front of him rang out.

"Chen Qiu, you stay, the others will leave first."

With everyone around watching the excitement and happy expressions, Chen Qiu put the remaining things in his bag and sat there waiting for Professor Li's arrival.

Professor Li was not in a hurry. He just put away his lesson plan quietly, and after confirming that the desk had been restored to its original state, he walked up to Chen Qiu with his notebook, looked at Chen Qiu, and said calmly.

"In today's class, you said that the Haicheng Radio Symphony Orchestra's performance was terrible. I will give you a chance to tell you why it was terrible. Then I can give you a chance to skip the score analysis report."

Although he is called Demon Li by many people, in fact he is just strict and does not like to target others.

Today's conducting class is actually a small branch of the score reading class. It involves listening to different orchestras' ideas on their interpretation of the score.

The reason why we chose the Haicheng Symphony Radio Orchestra, which ranks fifth in Haicheng and 996th in the world, is because of Professor Li’s little thought.

An orchestra that is too perfect will cover up many problems. Many times, even if they use autopilot, they can still perform perfectly and cannot hear many conductor's thoughts.

And this kind of band that may have problems is the best example to follow.

In fact, Professor Li was still a little happy when he heard Chen Qiu stand up and criticize the orchestra. However, for the sake of class order, he couldn't show too much excitement, so he kept Chen Qiu.

If Chen Qiu really felt it, then he really could not care about Chen Qiu's behavior.

But if not...

Then there is something to say.

Chen Qiu naturally heard what Professor Li meant. He touched his chin and spread his hands to the professor.

"I'm sorry, but can I play it again? If you just say it orally, it sounds a bit exaggerated."

Professor Li did not answer. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Qiu. He took out the laptop that had been tucked in his arm, placed it in front of the two of them, and opened it.

The performance page of Haicheng Symphony Radio Orchestra appeared in front of them.

Professor Li took two steps back, sat on the table, nodded to Chen Qiu and said, "You can start by yourself."

"Ok."

After Chen Qiu sorted out his thoughts for a while, he clicked on the computer to play.

Beethoven, Symphony No. 9.

It is known as Beethoven's symphony, or the masterpiece among all symphonies.

This piece was named a chorus because of the chorus at the end called "Ode to Joy".

It can be said that classic works like Bei Jiu are the touchstone for a conductor and even the entire orchestra.

Whether you are good or bad basically depends on how you interpret these classic works.

Chen Qiu's attention was focused on the sound calibration before the orchestra's performance even started, that is, before the opening.

The moment the first sound fell, he pressed pause and spoke.

"This is not the right place."

"reason."

"What is written here is fp, which means FortePiano. It is strong and then weak. The key point is that the word "forte" is not sudden. It is too soothing, and the strong first sound does not give a strong feeling. It sounds... A person is a pure p, weak."

Chen Qiu rewinded it for 5 seconds, played it again, and spoke again.

"It's because of the wind section. The bassoon didn't do enough and the bass wasn't pure enough. At the same time, the oboe and flute gave too little power, which ultimately led to this situation." "The string section did a good job, but the first violin The note of the third player from the left in the fifth row was not correct. If I remember correctly, he lowered the note by one-eighth and a semitone throughout the piece, which was not noticeable among the string orchestra."

"The F in the fourth measure, the downbeat, does not give enough effect. The problem here is the trumpet and trombone. They need an accent here, but it is not present, which reduces the power of the music too much. Especially the two people in the middle of the third row, their voices are not heard, which makes the spatial sense of the music lose a lot of details."

Speaking of this place, Chen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

What I heard in my ears was indeed correct.

If these details were placed before, he would never be able to hear them. He could only hear problems with the musical lines.

What he does in the band is basically auxiliary work other than conducting.

The details of listening with ears have been basically explained before, so now, it is where he works.

He pointed at the video in front of him and said.

"In addition to the details, the general direction also made many mistakes!"

"First, he didn't have enough control over the orchestra. He should have given the signal in advance for the lack of trumpet and trombone, but he didn't."

"Second, the music lines are not perfect enough. As I just said, the emotions are not in place in several obvious contrasting places."

"third……"

Chen Qiu hesitated for a while, pursed his lips, looked at the chief in the video, and suddenly said.

"Well, yes, the chief has a problem! There is a problem with this chief!"

"Ok?"

Professor Li, who had a relatively calm expression at first, was suddenly startled. He didn't expect Chen Qiu to say that.

His slightly relaxed back straightened at this time, he looked at Chen Qiu and said coldly.

"reason."

"The conductor has very poor control over this orchestra!"

Before Chen Qiu traveled through time, he worked as the deputy conductor of the Second Berlin Philharmonic for a long time.

He witnessed the brilliance brought by Sir Simon, and also witnessed the loneliness caused by the infighting in the orchestra.

Especially the second band, if they are not united, no matter how strong the band is, it will be difficult to present a perfect expression.

Therefore, Chen Qiu spoke.

"The principal's thoughts may not be the same as those of the conductor. I see that the conductor seems to want to increase the tension, but when the principal takes the lead, he seems to prefer to use subtle tension to present the beauty of the music, and the tube The musical part follows the strings, so..."

Chen Qiu stopped talking at this point.

After all, he just saw this from the video.

However, the commander and the chief had internal disagreements, and his comments from an outsider were not very good.

However, what he didn't expect was that Professor Li suddenly laughed at this time.

He said to Chen Qiu.

"If I remember correctly, your parents passed away in an accident a few days ago. I'm very sorry, but I have an idea. I wonder if you are interested."

After that, he opened his briefcase, took out a document from the back of his lesson plan, turned it over and handed it to Chen Qiu.

"This is a new plan proposed by the Conducting Department, Wind Instruments Department, and String Department of our Haicheng Conservatory of Music."
