The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 83 Perfect!

Completely different from many works, Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor does not have pauses between movements.

Because in Mendelssohn's time, applause was actually performed between movements and movements. This kind of applause often interrupted the emotion in the music and damaged the integrity of the music.

Therefore, in order to prevent the audience from applauding, and because the composer could not directly speak to all the audience and remind them not to applaud, Mendelssohn came up with this method to prevent the audience from applauding.

Since you applaud when the music is paused, what if your music never stops? So will you still applaud?

After Mendelssohn's research, he made the movements completely connected to each other.

In order to reflect the independence of the movements, he chose to make the links between the movements as weak as possible.

Therefore, Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor was presented to the public in this way.

As time went on, it became a concert rule not to applaud during movements and between movements.

Chen Qiu naturally knew this.

His palms clenched tightly, holding the music completely in his palms, letting the voices of everyone in the orchestra dissipate, leaving only the last bit of the bassoon, the bassoon.

After meeting Qin Xian's eyes, all his attention was focused on the bassoon.

He held the baton tightly in his arm, pointed it at the farthest bassoon, and slowly pulled it out.

The concert hall became extremely silent, with only the sound of the bassoon remaining, connecting the first and second movements.

An invisible bridge foundation, guided by Chen Qiu's fingertips, connects the first and second movements.

The foundation has appeared, and the baton in Chen Qiu's hand waved again, floating towards the flute in the distance.

The sound of the flute sounded.

Then came the violin.

Later, the whole band finally revived again.

Under this gentle and sad music, Chen Qiu's arms waved like the sea, making the music like waves, advancing wave by wave towards the distance.

Chen Qiu and Qin Xian had no communication. When the music was about to reach the point where Qin Xian's violin approached, Chen Qiu just glanced at Qin Xian and then withdrew his gaze.

Qin Xian seemed to have received Chen Qiu's reminder. He had already put the violin on his shoulder, his eyebrows stretched slightly sadly, and he looked at the violin in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

hum...

The sound of the violin sounded at this moment, as if talking to someone, with indescribable sadness in its pathos.

At this moment, Qin Xian focused all his attention on the violin in front of him. He looked at the violin in his hand as if he were looking at his lover, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually rose.

Such music, very beautiful.

At this moment the slow movement has arrived.

As the name suggests, the Adagio movement is a movement that is slower and more lyrical.

This kind of movement, compared to the first and third movements that focus on technique, actually focuses more on the performer's understanding of the music.

If the performer understands the music well enough, then the second movement will be the most dazzling light in the audience.

If the performer's understanding of the music is slightly rough, then the second movement will expose his weak points to the greatest extent in front of everyone present.

After all, the scale of music has been stretched to the maximum. No matter how gorgeous your skills are, standing in these places where you are almost looking at the music content with a magnifying glass, no matter how strong your skills are, there is no way to improve the performance of the music.

Technique is just a stepping stone for many people. Although some songs can be beaten with effort, the higher you go, the more it depends on the performer's personal understanding of music.

For example, in the top professional competitions, the gap between everyone's level and strength is actually not very big. The difference between everyone is who makes fewer mistakes during performance and who interprets the music more beautifully.

As for Qin Xian, as the number one student in Haiyin's school, he naturally had no problems whether it was skills or other aspects.

Especially when faced with this kind of purely musical understanding that does not require any special skills, Qin Xian is even more at ease with it.

He has been studying this piece since before the last final exam and has been studying it until now.

It's completely different from the days when he was constantly being chased and forced to practice new songs, without having time to figure out the details of the music.

In addition, there is Chen Qiu around.

Therefore, Qin Xian's expression was particularly relaxed. He was completely immersed in the music world he had built, giving up all perception of the outside world.

He was completely lost in music.

Chen Qiu also felt Qin Xian's interpretation of music and his state at this moment, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Not bad.

That's what he expected.

Why did he indulge Qin Xian so much and kept telling Qin Xian that he should play his own way?

The reason is very simple.

Because Qin Xian can do it.

When he plays himself, the music he performs is the strongest.

When he was completely immersed in music, his expression and interpretation of music were several times better than when he was timid before.

When he began to enjoy music, there began to be light in his music.

Not only that, there is also a kind of dependence in his music.

His performance is not particularly self-confident, similar to that of an absolute solo performer.

His playing is within himself and automatically adapts to the orchestra around him.

Everything combined, this is the reason why Chen Qiu chose Qin Xian.

Qin Xian may not be a top soloist, and it is difficult for him to win awards in world competitions and become a world champion.

However, he is definitely a competent leader in the orchestra.

When playing normally, he can lead the orchestra to move forward hard, keep up with his own pace, and mobilize the attention of everyone in the string section.

When he plays solo, he can also show great influence, allowing him and the orchestra to blend together, and the two complement each other.

This is the talent most suitable for an orchestra leader.

He is a born chief!

The corners of Chen Qiu's mouth raised, leading the orchestra to play in harmony with Qin Xian's, allowing everyone's attention to focus on his fingertips, following Qin Xian's ideas to interpret.

Wave after wave of unstoppable musical waves surged toward Qin Xian from the orchestra, and Qin Xian fell under the music like a reef, making the waves crash even more agitated.

Let the gorgeous beauty of the music completely fill this small concert hall.

At this time, Yu Tu, who was under the stage, could no longer hide the smile on his lips. His hands also followed Chen Qiu, as if he was conducting an orchestra in the void.

It was as if he was training the band, guiding the band forward based on his own memory.

His movements are even somewhat similar to Chen Qiu's.

The two are even like light and shadow, with Chen Qiu directing from above and him from below.

However, while he was directing, he looked at Qin Xian, and the smile on his face became stronger.

really!

He was not wrong.

When he first saw Qin Xian, he felt that Qin Xian might be a talent in the violin orchestra.

This kind of person may be able to become a teacher in the future, but if he is asked to become a performer, it will be difficult for him to become the world's top violinist.

However, everyone should be in the right position for him to reach his full potential.

For Yu Tu, Qin Xian's most suitable position should be as a core member of the orchestra.

Start with the small members first, and then add up little by little, until you reach the leader of the second group.

In the future, maybe when Qin Xian is fifty, his most glorious age, he will be able to become the concertmaster of the China Philharmonic Orchestra.

This is Yu Tu's idea.

He was certain and certain that if Qin Xian continued to work in the orchestra, he would definitely be able to sit in a very high position.

Not only that, he can even increase the upper limit of the band.

As long as Qin Xian can continue to develop like this.

Yu Tu smiled while scratching back and forth with his nails on the back of the score sheet in front of him.

he asked quietly to himself.

"How about it? Do I think we should wait for this violinist to graduate and directly recruit him into the China Philharmonic?"

"I feel like I can give it a try. Even if I spend money to buy this kind of person directly to the youth training, and wait for him to continue to grow, there will be no problem."

"Well, I'm right, this violin can indeed be cultivated, but there is a problem now. It seems that there is no shortage of new violins in our orchestra for the time being. The skills of the newly recruited interns are not bad."

"Then just throw this violin outside? Let other orchestras take it away?"

“If other bands take it away, we may have to spend more money to buy this person into our band later, especially when he grows up later, other bands will definitely sign a long-term contract with him. "If you put it this way, there is actually no problem. Isn't it just a matter of money? He shouldn't actually cost much, so I can find a more powerful band and let them train him. I will pick the fruit in the end?"

"Then we have to find a band that can train him and allow us to pick fruits, but the later details need to be considered again, what do I think?"

"I think it's okay."

As Yu Tu spoke, his lowered head gradually raised.

He looked at Chen Qiu and nodded silently.

[This person should have a bright future. His understanding of conducting is very good. The conducting just now was almost the same as what I thought. However, he is just a student and cannot afford to train this violin. It is a pity. 】

【So……】

Yu Tu turned his gaze to Zhao Yi beside him, and laughed when he saw Zhao staring at Chen Qiu and others expressionlessly.

It's like finding prey.

[Haicheng Symphony Orchestra, the top three in China, they should be able to do it, but they seem to be lacking good violins. 】

Yu Tu turned to look at Chen Qiu and the second group of Haicheng Conservatory of Music behind him, especially looking at Chen Qiu with a look of regret.

He felt that Chen Qiu now was like a miner guarding the golden mountain but unable to mine it.

If Chen Qiu also had an orchestra, he might be able to rely on his friendship with his classmates to get Qin Xian to follow him. If he wanted to buy Qin Xian later, the price might have to increase several times.

But now Chen Qiu has no orchestra.

It's really a pity.

After Yu Tu made some plans in his mind, he grinned, shook his head and continued to look at the orchestra in front of him.

I have to say that Chen Qiu's command is indeed good. This kind of person is definitely a talented commander.

If he is ready to retire, and if Chen Qiu becomes more mature, maybe he can contact some Chen Qiu to see if he is interested in coming over and becoming the next conductor of the China Philharmonic Orchestra.

But now, he is still in his prime, and Chen Qiu is still just a student.

Therefore, he could only shake his head helplessly, throw away his thoughts about Chen Qiu, and then look at Chen Qiu with a look of regret.

It's really, really a pity.

……

Zhao Yi seemed to feel Yu Tu's gaze and couldn't help but shudder. He frowned and looked around, but found nothing.

At this moment, Chen Qiu's entire attention was on the orchestra in front of him.

He also didn't know that there were conductors from other orchestras behind him, so he turned his thoughts to Qin Xian.

He is just working hard to conduct the orchestra, leading the orchestra to follow his pace and interpret the music they want in their hearts.

Although Chen Qiu's arms were still there, continuing to drive the orchestra forward according to his own memory, his eyes were already on Qin Xian beside him.

His hand that was not holding the baton was raised, making a twisting gesture, and he pulled it back slightly. The sound of the orchestra became weak.

The second movement is coming to an end under Qin Xian's extremely soft interpretation.

The beginning of the third movement is on Qin Xian.

The link between the first and second movements is the bassoon, but the link between the second and third movements is the violin solo.

Qin Xian did not look at Chen Qiu. At the moment when the orchestra was about to dissipate, he let the music come in easily.

After completely focusing everyone's attention on him, he raised his eyelids slightly and made contact with Chen Qiu's eyes.

The two people's eyes intertwined, and without any unnecessary communication, Chen Qiu had already turned his eyes back to the orchestra.

The conductor's baton in his hand kept beating, grasping every detail to guide the orchestra's progress, telling them how they should express themselves.

The details in music show the most brilliant colors at Chen Qiu's fingertips.

The orchestra, also under Chen Qiu's guidance, closely matched Qin Xian's timbre.

The two are almost completely integrated.

The AI ​​drum is in the distance, and the power of each timpani hit is just right, pushing the orchestra forward without overpowering the performance.

The pizzicato in the bass part is even more beautiful.

The principal double bass player, Rui Jia, and others looked at Chen Qiu closely without any deviation.

All of them were looking at Chen Qiu and trying their best to interpret the music that Chen Qiu wanted.

All thoughts, at this moment, were integrated on the tip of Chen Qiu's baton, and they followed the movement of the baton to express their own thoughts.

The orchestra, completely integrated into a whole.

As for Qin Xian, he and the orchestra form the musical poles.

Where the band was strong, he would gather his own strength a little.

Where the band's performance is weak, he will completely unleash his own ideas.

Although he was not completely integrated with the music, under Chen Qiumo's silent guidance, his music was even more powerful than if he were completely integrated.

Such music, such performance, such beauty.

When everything came together, it became an unstoppable gesture, like a bulldozer, crushing everyone present's expectations of other bands' performances.

What were those people playing before?

They couldn't remember it at all.

They had even forgotten that the team behind them was going to play or was entering the break.

Only the sound of Qin Xian and the orchestra remained in their minds.

They are like viruses or tumors, firmly occupying every space in everyone's brain.

Everyone at the Capital University, who had been preparing to leave first, could not help but fall silent when they heard about the Haiyin Second Regiment under the command of Chen Qiu. Although they had never thought about defeating Haiyin at the beginning, they heard that the gap between the two was so huge. , they still felt sad.

Some people from the Huaguo Conservatory of Music who were mixed in with the Capital University frowned when they listened to the performance of the Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

They will then compete with Haiyin in the Nine Schools League.

All of them are among the top three music conservatories, although Huaguo Conservatory of Music is wandering between second and third, Haicheng is wandering among the top three, and Central Conservatory of Music is wandering between first and second.

However, this does not mean that the people at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music are not as strong as Haiyin.

When they heard that the people of Haiyin Second Regiment were so strong, they couldn't help but start to doubt.

How strong will the Haiyin group be?

Can they fight Haiyin?
No, not just them, even the people from the Central Conservatory of Music with whom they often communicate, can they compete with Haiyin?

They don’t know, so they remain silent.

They had no idea that in the corner of the concert hall, there were also several people from the Central Conservatory of Music. They originally planned to come over to watch the excitement, but they did not expect to see such a scene.

Like the people at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, they also began to think for themselves.

Can a group of people from their school really defeat Haicheng?

The students were silent and the judges and audience were excited.

The music finally came to its climax.

Everyone's emotions are erupting in waves.

boom!
Under the roar of the last chord, Qin Xian pulled the last note with force and threw the bow in his hand aside.

The sweat on the tips of the hair emits brilliant light under the light of the headlamp.

Wow!
Applause burst out.

Everyone was trying hard to applaud them all.

He looked at Chen Qiu, and Chen Qiu also looked at him, and they both smiled at the same time.

Chen Qiu raised his hand to everyone in the orchestra, asked them to stand up, and then turned to face the audience.

Looking at the crowd of people applauding under the stage, he couldn't help but laugh.

He stretched out his hand towards Qin Xian, then the other hand, then turned his head slightly, looked at the orchestra behind him, and nodded vigorously.

Amidst the applause, everyone in the orchestra bowed at the same time.

What followed was even more warm applause.

and several uncontrollable sounds.

"Bravo!"
