musicians of old

Chapter 91
"Miss Roy, I really don't drink well."

In the corner of the lively salon hall, lights and candles intertwined, Fan Ning held a goblet and looked helplessly at the girl in front of him.

I just got up from my seat and was about to walk through the crowd and chat with the professors, but was cut off again, and nearly half an hour passed again.

"But Mr. Fanning, are you not flushed?"

On the contrary, the girl's cheeks and neck were dyed a faint rose color.

"This improved 'Smoking Bishop' is very popular in the imperial capital Santaram this year."

The flame of the small candle licked the thermal insulation foil, and Roy picked up the sterling silver container with a long funnel on it, and filled the purple-red water level in Fanning's cup back to the proper position.

"The improved method is to replace the lemon with the Banton sweet orange in the south, press cloves into it, add cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger slices, and let it stand for half a day. The red wine origin of the base is Piodo wine Château, rather than port wine with a higher alcohol content. The boiling time is greatly shortened, and the sweet orange juice is squeezed directly in it…”

"Ding—" the two clinked glasses.

Fanning looked at the cornflower buds on her headband and chest pin. Against the backdrop of the complicated candlelight, they were flowing with blue-purple light and shadow, just like the dreamy starry sky in fairy tale illustrations.

"What?" Roy asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, just a little dizzy." Fanning held his forehead.

"Your cheeks are indeed a little red now... Roy will help you to be more gentle and gentle..." The girl picked up the tongs, wrapped a piece of sugar cube smaller than the nail cap with bee jelly, and then threw it into Fanning's cup .

Fan Ning curled his lips: "If you continue like this, I may be brought down by you."

"You can be more confident in your strength, and rest assured about Roy's character." The girl pursed her lips, her eyes revealing playfulness, "Because this improved 'Smoking Bishop' is actually more suitable for girls ..."

"Boys should protect themselves when they go out..." Fan Ning answered solemnly.

She was amused and laughed: "Actually, Roy rarely drinks alcohol in public social occasions. No matter how polite and elegant the gentlemen are, I always respond with juice. When I meet someone with a strong personality, I drink the juice at most. Show respect."

It is very difficult for social animals to do this... Fan Ning secretly thought.

"Ding—" the two clinked glasses.

"It can be seen that you are very happy at today's premiere." Fanning swirled the purple liquid in the cup.

"Well, there are many performance occasions in the academy, and there are many successful experiences, but I don't feel such a 'personal' sense of accomplishment."

"Is it because this work is dedicated to your family?"

"A small part of the factors." Roy shook his head, "You know, the songs we perform on weekdays, [-]% are the works of late masters or new works of well-known contemporary composers, and [-]% are excellent student works. The former has a strong sense of distance, and more is Looking up to reverence, humility and repeated practice to touch their thoughts... As for the latter, although it is around and interactive, most of the levels are hard to compliment."

The girl's face was flushed, but her eyes were still clear: "Mr. Fanning, you are different. Roy feels that he is not too far away from you, and also admires your artistic personality. The sense of accomplishment from the 'personalized' premiere, Maybe that's how it came about."

"Thank you Miss Roy for your love." Fan Ning thanked very seriously, "Your evaluation is too high, I am temporarily ashamed, because most of the inspiration for this piece comes from ancient music, if there are no external reasons And utilitarian elements, I may not publish it in a public manner... I will choose to accept Miss Roy's praise after I successfully complete the "First Symphony" with a stronger personal style."

"Mr. Fan Ning is too self-effacing. Your teacher is an outstanding scholar in the study of ancient music. That is the background and cultivation of your own master."

"Ding—" the two clinked glasses.

"Speaking of your "First Symphony", Roy has an unkind request."

"Please say."

"At the graduation concert next year, Roy wants to be your principal cello." The girl looked at Fan Ning without blinking, "I think my level is worthy of you, if I can prove it... before the New Year's concert, I There is a great possibility of being promoted to the principal cello of the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra."

"Miss Roy actually said that, so it must be a sure thing." Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Being able to become the chief of the orchestra in the third year, especially the few important parts, are all extremely talented musicians... But , are you so sure that I can qualify for the final premiere?"

He said leisurely: "The final round of test results not only come from the registered scores of teachers above the associate professor level in the whole school, but also refer to the opinions of the official members of the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra."

After all, the graduation concert is the school's graduation concert, and the main body of the premiere, besides the conductor, is the orchestra.

The ratio of official members and alternate members of the Saint Lania Symphony Orchestra is maintained at 1:1.5 all year round. One of the practical rights of official members is to have relatively free rehearsal options for new works. In contrast, in order to seek opportunities for regularization, alternate members It is more "tool man".

Of course, composers also have a lot of power to choose the musicians. This is two-way, depending on who is in a stronger position.

Roy said: "The influence of the group leader Muric and the third group leader Cecil is deeply rooted in the school. Even if they are only nominated for awards in the end, they will have the opportunity to premiere in the near future. A group of backbone official members will choose Follow their rehearsals, for example, the chief violin in the orchestra is second only to the conductor, and now Julius is sitting...but I and Lou Adair from the second group will definitely be your supporters, we are very grateful You have full confidence in maintaining this style and standard..."

"Maintain this style...and standard..." Fan Ning suddenly felt a little confused for no reason when he thought of the last movement of the symphony left by Mr. Anton.

Should it be maintained, or should it break through?
The great artistic achievements of Mr. Anton... Do we need to temporarily avoid the important and focus on the less important, cater to the mainstream aesthetics of the academic school, and then highlight his style when the popularity is stronger and the time is more mature?
Otherwise, if the threshold is not enough, how can there be a chance to inherit and carry forward?
The girl smiled slyly: "Anyway, reserve your seat in advance, Roy will be unhappy if you give it to someone else."

"I'm very honored. If you ran away with them, I wouldn't be happy." Fanning came back to his senses, and it was rare to imitate her tone and made a joke.

Roy felt that the relationship between the two had recovered a lot tonight. The corners of her mouth raised and she smiled playfully: "Come on, put you down~"

The eyes of the two intertwined for a longer time, and then they clinked glasses again.

"A question for you too," Fanning said.

"Come."

"What are the criteria and procedures for the Bologna School to recruit members?"

"Mr. Fanning, you really can't do it, right?" Roy widened his eyes in surprise, "I don't dare to rob someone from the Guide School...Why don't you go upstairs with me first? I have prepared a rest room in advance..."

"Just asking for others, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

"That's not true. After all, it can't even be called internal news. I was just surprised." Roy explained, "In fact, the procedures of the official organization are similar. You can follow the template of the Guiding School, but the details are different. In and out, each thinks that the 'strict and lenient' focus is different..."

"The requirement of the Bologna school is that the family origin in the five-level knighthood system of the empire, use the registered guidepost to be promoted, or have a guarantor provide a proof of the complete reliability of the guidepost used, or be a highly inspired person without a guidepost and have no intention of promotion, However, three internal members are required to be recommended and a 1-3 year inspection period is attached depending on the situation. During the inspection period, the allocation is temporarily occupied, and the observation situation needs to be reported to the Special Inspection Office every quarter.”

"Thank you for your answer." Fanning took the initiative to clink his glasses.

"Speaking of which, if Mr. Fanning has a reliable candidate who meets the requirements, Roy can indeed recommend him. In fact, the situation of the school's branch here is a bit delicate now."

"subtle?"

"It just means that there is a relative lack of fresh blood."

"Aren't you the next one?" Fan Ning stood up and smiled, not continuing to ask such sensitive information.

"I will. Now go talk to the professors about something, excuse me." He picked up his glass and left here.

After seeing Fanning leave, other gentlemen came towards Roy.

The girl immediately poured out the purple-red wine in the goblet, put away the gentle and playful elements in her smile, and replaced it with a more noble and reserved temperament.

The inconspicuous attendant immediately understood and came out to pour a glass of juice for his lady.
