Chapter 146 Sheeran's Graduation Gift

"Professor Graham is a member of the Bologna School. I only met him at Miss Roy's music salon. My first impression is good, but I'm not very familiar with it."

Fan Ning searched his memory, and found that the only thing that left a deep impression on him was that the professor reminded him of the fear of being dominated by the laboratory in his previous life.
"Vice-principal Huxley introduced some of his chemical theoretical research results at the salon, and then seemed to mention that he provided technical consulting services for many companies in the imperial capital Santaram Fort. It seems that the Swiss company was among them. Latime Chemical Trading Company"

"Well, this doesn't necessarily confirm that there is something wrong with him. Maybe it's just a simple means of making money, but it adds to the degree of suspicion, because the signal sent by the Special Inspection Office is that they don't trust those guys at all, and they need to follow the clues carefully. Investigate and investigate. By the way, why did you still call me Professor Fanning just now?" Fanning analyzed while recalling, and suddenly found that Sheeran's title was strange.

"Or, Mr. Fanning?" The little girl crossed her arms and looked up at Fanning: "Isn't that what everyone calls it? I can't?"

... Sheeran was still angry before she got angry?

Seeing her expression like this, Fan Ning felt both puzzled and amused.

"...Let me show you something." He thought for a while, took out a stack of music scores from his briefcase, leaned forward and handed them to the girl.

"Did you write another song, right?" The little girl finally showed a hint of interest on her face, and began to flip through it after taking it.

She first saw a line of violin treble clef, and two lines of piano treble clef, and then read the beginning: "A sharp, the main chord is E minor, have you written a violin sonata?"

"xi—xi, sol, mi—mi..." She gently hummed the beginning of the melody line, sighed "It's so nice", and then swept her eyes to the dedication position in the upper right corner, and finally whispered Get up, "You wrote it to me?"

"Your graduation gift." Fan Ning explained, "...Actually, this is a violin concerto, but I've been too busy recently, the band part has only written the piano abbreviation for the time being, and it will take some time for the score to come out..."

"Oh...then why did you give it to me earlier today?" Sheeran asked looking up while holding the music score.

...Every question you have today is quite difficult to answer.

Fanning rubbed his forehead and chose to skip the question: "I plan to premiere this concerto at the Tioline Summer Festival in August, and I will invite you as violin soloist with the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra. Cooperation, um... following a formal contract, there will be performance remuneration, which will be discussed in the form of a fixed amount or a box office ratio..."

This work is not his thinking and desire to express about "death" and "funeral" after knowing Viern's life before. It is a single-movement symphonic poem that is still in the stage of thinking...

This is Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto in E Minor" by Romantic master Mendelssohn. Fan Ning played it with other people in his previous life with a piano arrangement, so the reproduction of this step is very familiar and easy.Then his inspiration is higher now, and the orchestration of this work is not complicated, and he can recall and deduce it after a little time.

In the previous life, it was known as the "Four Violin Concertos in the World" together with the three "Violin Concerto in D Major" of the same name by Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky. enough to see its status.

Although the "Violin Concerto in E Minor" is not the most magnificent in terms of length, and will not be ranked among the most dazzling technically, this work always reveals its noble temperament and elegant brilliance: a clear and moving handed down The melody, lively and genius music ideas, logical and perfect structure... especially the melody at the beginning of its first movement, it is so sincere, touching and intoxicating. Music fans belonging to Blue Star will "DNA move" when they hear it. the "type...

The reason why Fanning considered choosing it for the concert is because this work not only has the sincere tenderness of the romantic style, but also reflects the pure classicist structural beauty in the composition technique-in other words, it is very important to the modern academy. The aesthetic preference of those guys is a "big killer". Fan Ning predicts that even those who are not interested in his "First Symphony" will not be able to hold it in front of it.

Well, after all, the box office of the show and the response from the music industry will have an important impact on the ranking update of the Imperial Student Symphony Orchestra... Since I have received money, I have to make some substantial achievements.

"Do you accept?"

"Not only dedication, but also remuneration? Then of course I accept the invitation." Sheeran on the opposite side of the carriage was still holding the music score and looking up at the ceiling. "Speaking of which, there are only a few days left for our grammar school's graduation party. The condition is that there is no reorganization of the symphony orchestra, and the score in the current state is just right, and it is not a run on the official premiere..." The little girl rolled her eyes and acted in thought, "Well, who will I invite for the piano accompaniment at that time?"

"...Mr. Coachman, go straight at the next intersection and go directly to Nelenia District." Fan Ning opened the curtain and ordered.

"What do you want?" Sheeran asked.

"I'll practice with you for a while at night before I go back." He looked as usual.

The two returned to the small villa of Professor Anton's house at Saint Lenia University. Sheeran went to the boudoir to take out the violin, clamped it, and began to gently wipe the rosin on the bow.

"Did you change the rosin today?"

Fanning was using the nail clippers to trim the nails that hadn't been cut for nearly a week, and then looked up to smell the smell in the air.

"You have a good nose, the solo version of the 'Andre' brand." Sheeran didn't stop smearing, and the eyelashes on the side of her face trembled a few times.

"I know the brand, but what about the solo version?"

"The powder of the solo version has stronger adhesion than the band version, and the sound penetration is better. There are fewer stray sounds when the bow is strong, especially when the bow is strong. The 'Coster' brand is more sensitive and delicate, which matches the temperament of your concerto better."

"I see."

"Does it smell good?"

"Hmm." Fanning lifted the cover of the seven-foot "Cutisibio" piano, and after doing a few sets of scale and arpeggio exercises, he moved his hands to the middle and bass ranges.

His right hand plays repeated semi-decomposed chords, imitating the whispering at the beginning of the string group, while his left hand stretches out an octave, striking back and forth on the E sound and the lower fifth B sound, which is the plucking of the cello and double bass Voice.

The accompaniment of less than two bars instantly brought the two of them into an atmosphere where happiness and sadness coexist: in the elegant and lonely sea breeze in E minor, the bass with dotted rhythm slaps the shore lonely like waves, changing into a The gorgeous flowers were scattered on the beach one after another.

Against this background, the girl moved her left hand to the second position, gently rubbing her pale ring finger on the E string, and an elegant, noble, and melancholy melody came from under her bow. Play out slowly.
