musicians of old

Chapter 295 Leave Form (4800)

"Artistic taste is a kind of capital, the capital of cultural category."

"In terms of absolute wealth, how do I compare with Mr. Adair? In terms of absolute power and strength, how does the Bologna School compare with the Special Patrol Office? But the authorities know the truth better than anyone else: even those who know And I don’t want to live with myself in the abnormal zone..."

"The so-called "students" or "royal aristocrats" in this industrial age are no longer proud of assets and land, but the definition of "elegant art and profound appreciation" in their hands as always Right—as you once shared, the experience of working as an "art consultant"."

"However, I also discovered that in the reports of social hotspots and public opinion, especially the "negative" news reports, it is always the media with tricky angles and hands-off hands that can take the lead in traffic. For almost ten days in a row, " Events has been out of stock and reprinted repeatedly. Originally, it was only a second-tier media whose influence was basically limited to the local area. As a result, the demand for that issue of the weekly magazine in Fort Santa Lambert soared from less than 1% in the past to 20%. %, it can be said that it completely overwhelmed the limelight of the same city's "Uflandsell Art Review..."

"I have carefully read the articles of several authoritative journals. It should be said that their criticism is reserved, the discussion is rational, the attitude is serious, and the conclusions are generally "need to continue to examine". Unfortunately, these professional analysis "classes , Aesthetics and Morality" theoretical articles, but fewer people read and think seriously than before..."

"The reason is that the simple and crude "picture + talk show report" of "Events" not only makes all the citizens who are out of the inside and outside of the matter want to see it, but more subtle is that it vaguely provides a certain This kind of emotional value directly satisfies the psychological needs of these people... What makes me quite interesting is that these gentlemen and ladies who respect you, like you, and get close to you inadvertently reveal a kind of "Why are you still In fact, many people forget that you are only born in the middle class, and they also forget that the real masters of art are never just the pride of a certain country or a certain class, but the whole mankind wealth..."

"But in general, it can be considered that the voices this time, whether they are venting emotions or serious discussions, are only from the attitudes of upper-class high school elites and royal nobles. As for your question in your letter, can you sum up the industrial aristocracy and the middle class? What's your opinion on this "labourers, peddlers, prostitutes and gentlemen and ladies enjoying pleasure at the same time"?—"

"They don't have a point of view. The media they dominate also reports on the incident, but the point of view is all similar to "paraphrasing" and "echoing". I don't deny that in the industrial age, these people have gradually become confident. Gradually seek to actively speak out on hot social issues, but once they enter the field of art, they start to show their timidity... They seem to actively embrace the "royal aesthetic taste", but in fact, before expressing their artistic opinions, they will secretly "look at it" What do we people say", and then carefully write some words to show that we are "independent thinking", and the standpoint and tone are not bad... I have seen this kind of small thinking a lot! But, I still want to laugh... ..."

"My time is more leisurely than yours, and I am under less pressure than you. Studying schools of thought is not a matter of studying hard day and night. If the purpose is to search for a specific occult knowledge, then all those documents will appear obscure and lengthy with extremely low information density , but in fact it is an exploratory reading of history, literature or art... Often the intangible is more valuable than the tangible, and the hidden history is always under the well-known history. A quietly revealed detail, when confirmed with past cultivation, can naturally smell the fragrance of old and precious red wine..."

"Lake Lolfing is the most beautiful and expressive figure in the Royal Academy of Music. It is the eyes of the earth. People who look at it can measure the depth of their own nature. When I take a walk, I like to look at the rows of white stone statues opposite and imagine They are a choir singing resurrection carols, where the terrain is naturally good, the combination of plant landscapes is hidden or visible, and the arrangement is also very well... Now they have sprouted new buds, but the same spring is not necessarily It means the same joy, happiness or depression depends on the way everyone spends the winter. If you have not tried your best to fight against the severe winter, you will not be able to appreciate the warmth of spring. happiness."

"If you think something needs to be done, stick to it."

"Your Roy McAdam"

His eyes flicked over the last line of elegant and extremely stretched handwriting, and Fan Ning stuffed the letter back. When he was reading the letter, his smile, which was not much, dissipated little by little, and then he was in a daze for a long time.

Under the exquisite rose-colored envelope, another small document was pressed in a way that was not completely covered.

Kaprun's handwritten leave note.

Since March, such false notes have appeared four times, each time within three days.

But in fact, since the New Year's concert, Kaplan's body has been weakening day by day with an obvious trend, and the speed is completely inversely proportional to his sharply increased commanding level.

His bone pain became more intense, he began to take his medication more frequently, standing for more than an hour would be very strenuous, and later he passed out several times during rehearsals or discussing work.

In fact, since last year’s opening season performances ended, Fan Ning intentionally lightened a lot of his work tasks in terms of follow-up performance planning. With the arrangement of chamber music and solo performances and the addition of two guest conductors, Fanning kept almost all of his other affairs out.

Except for the pre-rehearsal task of the first four movements of the "Second Symphony", which he is unlikely to be willing to share.

Regarding the so-called leave notes that Kaplan handed in every time, Fanning's inner reaction was very contradictory.

In fact, how can such a written application be used?If you need to go to the hospital for auxiliary treatment and recuperation, you can go directly at any time. Fanning will neither adjust his position nor deduct his salary. It is "take a complete rest and return to the podium".

But obviously all of the above is not the point or reality.

There is no such thing as returning to the podium after a complete rest. If Fanning asked Kaprun to continue to return to the hospital or rest at home every time he returned to work and picked up the baton, it would be the same as killing him in advance.

That's why things have become like this. Every ten or so days when he couldn't bear it any longer, he would come and submit a sick leave application for 2-3 days to Fan Ning, and when the time was up, he appeared to "take a break" again. Well done” reappeared in the report.

The fog outside the window was heavy and there was no sunlight. Occasionally, one or two dull sounds of airships could be heard.

"Mr. Fanning, afternoon tea starts in ten minutes."

There was a polite reminder from an administrative staff member at the door.

"I'm not going, you guys talk."

After wandering his eyes for a while, Fan Ning put away the letter and the leave note after reading, and suppressed all his messy emotions. After dealing with a small pile of work documents, he began to pick up a pen to sort out the first youth session tomorrow. The main points of the arrangement of the symphony orchestra concert come.

If the daily affairs cannot be handled with high efficiency, the few composing time will be further squeezed, and the fifth movement, which has entered the final chorus stage of writing, will be rehearsed even later.

However, another part of the "Music Rescue" project is about to be staged. This once Fanning's heartfelt wish is now realized, but the mood cannot be high.

The rustling sound of writing is like the lead-yellow mist outside the window.

At 7:30 p.m. on the second day, the Turner Hall of the Arts was lit up everywhere. The first wave of admission has passed, but there are still quite a lot of audiences in the ticket checking hall, the corridor on the second floor and other areas outside the symphony hall. stranded.

In fact, for tonight's show, music fans from the previous class still accounted for half of the audience.

That New Year's concert really left a deep impression on the music industry. Almost everyone knows that Turner Hall has a "Music Rescue" project, and they also know the level of the chorus at that time. Everyone knows that the level of the youth symphony orchestra is not too bad, plus a large number of premieres of new works today...

Even if the price of this concert is set at ten or twenty pounds, they will still buy it, and in terms of the opportunity to queue up to buy tickets, they are more convenient than labor peddlers.

Compared with the very few moralists who "refuse to enjoy pleasure with prostitutes", in fact, more people have a kind of curiosity-seeking mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal, and they are even more looking forward to attending.

They really want to see how this group of people will behave, and whether the respected Mr. Fanning will regret it after letting them in, so many of them have the status of reporters, and at this time they are near the ticket checking hall. Stay and wait and see.

Among them, several reporters from "Events" were the most active. They planned to conduct a "follow-up report" on the representative remarks of the previous "interview with music fans".

Except for the performance site, the Turner Hall of the Arts did not prohibit photography, and many media have already started to adjust the equipment.

But it wasn't until after 8 o'clock that a few journalists and music fans standing in the corridor on the second floor and observing below realized that they had started to gather tickets for admission.

The reason why I say hindsight is because...

These laborers, craftsmen, servants, peddlers, small clerks and farmers in the suburbs all chose gray and black instead of light-colored patterns in their attire, and chose solid colors instead of checks and stripes.

Of course, after a closer look, the reporters could easily find that the texture and style are inferior and old-fashioned, the shoes are not leather shoes, the figure is not tall enough, and the manner is not elegant enough, but when a few people entered the venue at first, no one noticed , Only when the flow of people behind reached the peak did they realize that they were coming.

This shows that in concert occasions, although such an image is somewhat nondescript, it is not shocking or ridiculous.

and…

Many people paused once at the door because they saw the guide and were guided by the staff. Wet towel racks soaked in cleaning solution were prepared in advance on both sides.

Those who did not have time to clean up the conspicuous stains due to work, generally did a cleaning before entering the venue.

Holding the track list and tickets in their hands, they presented the tickets to the ticket inspector cautiously, repeatedly checked the number on the seat and the actual area entrance, and looked at the environment of the concert hall with curious and amazed eyes.

Compared with factories full of dust, engine oil, noise or dye stains, the clean wood, slate, light boxes and beautiful display decorations here, although not as exaggerated as coming to "heaven", but they always remind them However, there are still places in the world where people can feel "alive".

In the corridor on the second floor, a reporter with a mustache from "Events" stared at the assistant in charge of photography next to him.

This... is not what we want to shoot...

Disrespectful, yes, but not rude, right?
"Crack. Crack."

Ferrieg, a senior reporter and music critic of "Hoffmann Gramophone", pressed the shutter thoughtfully himself.

Time is too tight, and this second wave of ticket checking peak will end soon.

Basically stuck in the first 8 minutes before 2:[-], the last batch was seated.

This is due to the large number of guide signs along the way, so that people in a hurry will not get lost in the huge concert hall.

"Why is today's playlist so long?..."

After several gentlemen got their hands, they found that it was beautifully typesetting and detailed, and it could be folded into four and eight pages.

"First half:"

"1. Overture to "Bat": Let's start with the enthusiastic and jubilant full band! Then there is the energetic theme played by the oboe in the soft music, and then you will hear the four fragments with different personalities in the middle——

The first section is a gorgeous and smooth Allegro. Under the plucked strings (a bunch of violins), the melody of the violin is melodious and beautiful, and its tremolo is accompanied by the modulation of the French horn, and finally it is connected with the tremolo of the piccolo;

The second section is an elegant "boom-cha-cha" three-time waltz, which is still presented by strings, and later the flute is also added to the dance;
The third section is a slower three-time andante, here the strings are the accompaniment, and the main melody of the oboe is slightly sad and sad, but soon, it becomes light and ready to transfer;

The fourth section is a very fast "boom, boom, boom" polka in two or four beats. The violin and flute lead the team to develop the cheerful mood to the whole orchestra;
You'll hear them repeat next, but it's worth noting that the second and third verses are all in a bright, cheerful major key, which is fun, which is passionate, and when the final overture reappears, the music will heat up ended in the climax. "

"2. "Symphony No. 15 in G Minor": a small symphony of the early and mid-period period of the originalist master Tarakani, with beautiful melody, neat structure, vivid image, and full of classical beauty.

In the first movement, the Allegro, pay attention to the restless minor sound of the woodwind group, and then we hear the beautiful and sentimental theme of the cello. After the passage of the orchestra with the trembling bow, the warm dialogue between the subtitle French horn and the oboe...

(Note, there is no need to applaud in the middle of the movement)

Second movement, slower Andante...

(Note, there is no need to applaud in the middle of the movement)..."

"Second half:"

「3.《电闪雷鸣波尔卡》……4.《闲聊快速波尔卡》……5.《天鹅湖》……6.《野蜂飞舞》……7.《农民波尔卡》……8.《溜冰圆舞曲》……」

For today's 8 tracks, each one has a prompt that Mr. Fan Ning called "guiding tour", which is the same as in the Impressionism Art Exhibition!
Many people still don't notice a detail:
The repertoire of this concert can be obtained in advance at the ticket purchase site at that time.This is different from the past. Many laborers enter the venue with repertoires they received in advance.

This has led to a phenomenon: most of the people who read it with curiosity and relish are not laborers, but gentlemen, ladies and professionals who just got it on the spot.

Because many workers are familiar with it before, they just glanced at it again now.

Moreover, gentlemen and ladies found that, in addition to the detailed guidance of each work, a "symphony orchestra seat distribution diagram" is carefully attached to the back of the repertoire!
Not only the relative position is framed above, and the name of each instrument is thrown into the corresponding area, but there are also thumbnails of the outline of the instrument under the name, and the positions of the chief and conductor are also marked.

"It's really clear at a glance, but does this kind of common sense question need to be marked so clearly?"

There are many music critics or music student audiences who are a little confused.

"Whoa, whoa-"

The applause from around made more and more people look up from reading the repertoire and join the clapping queue.

They saw musicians in suits and dresses start to enter.

These musicians are not very old, and their movements and expressions are a little nervous at the moment.

But their complexion is very good, and their eyes are very bright and energetic.

A state that can only be found in an environment of intense spiritual life.

Then Miss Lausanne, wearing a black lady's dress, took the stage to even more enthusiastic applause.

Watching the boys and girls bowing to the audience under the leadership of the conductor, there were quite a few reporters and music critics present, and suddenly showed a long thoughtful expression.

"I realized another problem that I hadn't paid attention to clearly before." A reporter recalled the public opinion these days, and then whispered to his friends.

"What?" The gentleman next to him asked subconsciously.

"The young musicians on the stage who are still childish but have begun to show their temperament also come from the families of laborers, craftsmen, servants, peddlers or farmers."
