The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 26 Classical music is really interesting
Qin Xian never expected that Chen Qiu would give him this answer. He felt a little suffocated when he looked at Chen Qiu.

What does it mean that the next time the ensemble is played, it is the time for the exam?
His mouth was a little dry and he asked hoarsely.

"Conductor Chen Qiu, you mean... there won't be any ensemble behind us? Can we prepare to go on stage?"

"Well, you're right, that's what I meant."

Chen Qiu's expression did not change at all.

He looked at Qin Xian and said casually.

"You're following me anyway. Since you just said that it's very comfortable to follow me and you don't have to think about anything, then you can just follow me when you take the exam. Why do we continue to rehearse?"

"No, that's not what I meant, I..."

"So what do you mean?"

Chen Qiu stared into Qin Xian's eyes and asked very seriously.

"Do you think we need to rehearse now?"

"I……"

Qin Xian's expression was tangled. He didn't know what he should say. After taking a deep breath, he slowly raised his head and shook his head slightly.

"Well, okay, but can I stop cooperating with you? I think we might..."

"No."

Chen Qiu directly interrupted his speech with an extremely tough tone.

"You have to cooperate with me, you have no choice."

"I can find other piano students and ask them for help."

"You can give it a try. If I'm not wrong, the people who can accept accompanists of this level at this time are basically the big guys in the music guidance department. If you look for them now, their asking price may be thousands for a single accompaniment. Went there, and I can guarantee that their understanding of this piece is not as good as mine.”

"I……"

"I am the conductor."

Chen Qiu knew what Qin Xian wanted to say, so he said directly.

"Just go back and practice your part. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just see you on the exam and I will give you an answer."

"But no one in the piano department dared to say that. I have never mentioned the accompaniment I played with before..."

"They are them and I am me!"

Chen Qiu said calmly.

"I have the highest grade point in the conducting department. I am the only person in the conducting department who can lead an entire orchestra alone. I am the conductor of the second student troupe of Haicheng Conservatory of Music. Do you think I am inferior to them?"

"But, they are in the piano department, and what I need is a piano ensemble, not a conductor..."

"I play the piano better than you can find! I know how to play the concerto better than they do!"

Chen Qiu said categorically: "Of all the people you can find in school, no one can play the piano part of the concerto better than me. You can give it a try."

"I……"

Qin Xian didn't know what to say.

In fact, the main reason why he approached Chen Qiu at that time was because his piece was too big, lasting nearly half an hour.

When Chen Qiu agreed to play for him, it was free of charge.

He can indeed go to the piano department now, and the people in the piano department can indeed play for him.

However, just as Chen Qiu said, from what he heard from the accompaniment just now, almost no one he could find could compare to Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu's level of strength is indeed the strongest among the people he can find so far.

Other piano majors need to practice, and a half-hour piece takes up a lot of their practice time.

This performance, which is similar to a score, is not simple for them.

Especially practicing the first 30 minutes of work in a short period of time is definitely difficult.

And precisely because of this difficulty, the price they require has also increased exponentially.

If you go to find a professional accompanist in school, the market price of such a big piece would be more than a thousand pieces and it would take four rehearsals.

If it's urgent, it might cost two to three thousand. Students in the school's piano department, who are professional accompanists, can earn a lot of money every exam season.

Some people can even earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in a single month.

Qin Xian can be found, but he is a little reluctant to leave. After all, he is ready to drop out of school.

So he thought of Chen Qiu and asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Chen Qiu would agree to play for him without paying a penny.

However, he did not expect that Chen Qiu would be dissatisfied with his performance and felt that he was too dependent, so he did not give him a chance to rehearse together, but decided to go on stage directly.

How long have you been practicing this?

About a few minutes, right? The rehearsal was over even before the first movement was finished.

Take this kind of content to take the exam yourself?

Not to mention what the teacher thought, he felt that he might send it in advance.

He really has no confidence at all.

At the very least, you have to go through the entire piece, right?

This is the most basic, right?

But Chen Qiu had no intention of continuing to play with him.

His mood became more depressed.

He felt like his college career was going to end with a failed final exam.

However, he did not expect that Chen Qiu's eyes were always on him and never left.

Chen Qiu looked at him, waiting for his rebuttal or self.

It's a pity that I didn't wait.

Qin Xian just lowered his head.

Chen Qiu was a little disappointed when he saw Qin Xian like this.

He couldn't help but shook his head and said calmly.

"I hope to see you during the exam."

"See... me?" Qin Xian was puzzled.

Chen Qiu nodded: "Well, seeing you, you don't need to cooperate with me. You can play how you want, even randomly. I am the conductor. I know how to lead the orchestra to cooperate with you, not you. I."

"I……"

Listening to Chen Qiu's words, Qin Xian felt a little embarrassed: "I'm not sure I can play well. I'm a little afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Chen Qiu said directly: "I am the orchestra and I am the conductor. I should be worried about not being able to cooperate with you well, not you. You can do whatever you want, you know?"

"..."

"Okay, okay..."

Qin Xian looked at Chen Qiu's extremely tough attitude. He had nothing to say. He could only nodded silently, packed up his things, and prepared to leave.

However, just when he packed everything and was about to jump off the stage and leave, Chen Qiu suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, didn't you ask me a question before? Is it really that interesting to ask me about classical music? Do you remember it?"

Qin Xian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Qiu to say this at this time. He turned his head to look at Chen Qiu under the stage lights and nodded slowly.

"Well, I remember that I seemed to have said that classical music is really boring. I don't like classical music..."

"Then let me tell you now, my answer."

Chen Qiu stood up, stood on the podium, looked down at Qin Xian, looked at his dejected look, couldn't help but chuckle, and said slowly.

"Classical music is really interesting. It is more interesting than anything else, because only it can carry my love for music and my thinking about all things. It is so profound that it will take people a hundred years to study it. One hundred years, three hundred years, I will never feel bored or feel that I have figured him out."

"I really, really love classical music."

"And I will continue to like it."
