Curtis is about the same age as Pu Yin, and both schools were founded more than [-] years later than Julia, but Curtis’s hardware is much shabby and outdated than Julia’s. The three-story old building occupies an area that may not be much larger than the main building of the National Orchestra.However, I have to admit that the C letter on the bright purple flag outside the second floor of the building is indeed famous in the world of music, and it is the cradle of soloists.

Unlike Juilliard who advertised that "the school's responsibility is not to train performers", Curtis has always been proud of his great achievements in this area.When comparing alumni, Curtis didn’t need to be guilty of emphasizing who the “famous” performers are. It lists all people like Bernstein who have been recorded in the history of world music, and they can write a long list.Someone like Wilson, the current principal of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, who has not made a big name, may have been forgotten by his alma mater long ago.

There are many orchestras in the United States, such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra... If you pick out the chief voices of these orchestras Together, you will find that it is almost the Curtis Alumni Association.

Over the years, Curtis and Julia have held the top two places in the world's music schools in various rankings, and it has been difficult to distinguish between them, but if we only compare the students' professional talent and technical level , it is estimated that Julia's group of "selected from all over the world" will be a little afraid of Curtis's "selected from among geniuses".

Curtis has always advocated that "very talented students should follow the best teachers", and the school does have a group of veterans who have achieved great achievements for many years. These people have rich teaching resources and social connections in their hands.In order to win a chance for Yang Jingxing, Li Yingzhen had to go out of her way to find Yeromir through the music strings, and Curtis' senior teachers were often begged to sell their talents.

Not only is there abundant educational resources, but Curtis is also very rich. Although there is only such a small teaching building, all the students have full teaching funds, and then the tuition fees are set at a high price of 20 to [-] US dollars a year. It makes people feel that the school is really sincere.Over the past ten or twenty years, Curtis has also attracted many Chinese talents, and some of them have been cultivated. They have also produced several famous young performers and singers.

Apparently, Director Yang was nothing to Curtis, and the person the school sent to the hotel to negotiate with Mr. You turned out to be an "adistratnreceptnist", a receptionist, and a male receptionist.The director of the International Piano Art Center of Tangtang Puhai Conservatory of Music came to pay a friendly visit, but the other party even hired a mere receptionist to deal with the matter.

I can only think of the good, this receptionist is quite mature and prudent, he didn't show any embarrassment because of working overtime on weekends, and he was willing to walk from the hotel to school following Director Yang's hobby.

The weather and temperature at two o'clock in the afternoon were not bad, and Yang Jingxing was wearing He Peiyuan's favorite dark gray suit, which was called "younrpoersuit" by a tailor from his hometown of Mingzhou who had only been in elementary school for a few years because of poverty when he was young.In fact, the tailoring skills are not bad, and the work looks no worse than the expensive famous brand on Teacher You.Moreover, after Mr. You came out of the hotel, he shrunk his neck as soon as he walked out of the sun, and Curtis's door happened to be backlit.

It is not easy for a receptionist who is nearly forty years old. After walking a few steps, his nose is red from the cold, and he has to remain enthusiastic: "We are here. Sir, I am very happy to introduce this to you. If you have plans to take a look I might be able to give you and Mr. You some suggestions around."

Yang Jingxing thanked him and made a positive smile. People who are used to laughing with him in China really had a lot of fun in the past two days.

The entrance of Curtis is simply disgraceful, it can’t be called a school gate at all, but when you walk in, you will find that the building is really the same on the outside and inside, and the inside is also full of old, sallow wood decorations and worn-out floors that are full of signs of time. The antique-like wall lamps, table lamps, cabinets, tables and benches feel like this is a historic building in the United States.

The hall of the house is so small that it won’t be big. Curtis’s front hall is only slightly larger than the living room of Yang Jingxing’s new home. Fortunately, there are no people on weekends. There are three men and one woman standing at the front desk in front of the entrance, all of them are quite old. Definitely not a student.

They were all experienced workers, Yang Jingxing stopped for a while and laughed like an old friend. The three men and one woman on the opposite side were even more brilliant, and then both of them walked towards each other at the same time.There are only four steps away, so the 40-year-old Caucasian man who took the lead on the opposite side raised his hand when he took the second step: "Mr. Yang, nice to meet you."

Yang Jingxing responded politely with a handshake, and looked at the receptionist with a smile.

The receptionist quickly introduced, and it was translated that this person should be the vice principal of administration.The vice-principal is not a musician himself, and he didn't seem to mind that Yang Jingxing didn't know him. He also warmly congratulated Mr. Yang on his hulysuessful achievement at the Lincoln Center for the Arts last night, and then personally introduced the older man next to him, the vice-chairman of the school board.

To clarify the division of labor, the vice chairman of the board of directors shook hands and explained that he was just a person who loves music today to express his respect for the outstanding contributions made by musicians.

Another relatively younger man is an assistant to the principal's office. He explained to Mr. Yang that the principal is holding his own recital in Cincinnati today, and he won't be able to meet the guests until tomorrow.

The middle-aged Caucasian woman, the academic director, said happily that the students were eagerly looking forward to Mr. Yang's arrival, but none of the students could see him here.Not to mention that there are no welcome signs and flowers, and even the chairs behind the front desk are empty, which is too insignificant and disrespectful to guests.

Yang Jingxing didn't exchange warm greetings, the first thing he noticed was the photo frame on the wall behind the reception desk.

The vice chairman of the board of directors proudly introduced: "This is our beloved Mrs. Curtis. It is her selfless donation to create this school."

Yang Jingxing looked uprightly or saluted for a few seconds, infecting the people around him.

The next step is to take the guests to visit. Although the sparrows are small and complete, they are not grand enough or even crowded.The largest recital hall in the school is the size of an activity room, with small kindergarten-like chairs stacked against the wall.It can be said that the office of Graffman, the most famous and accomplished piano professor in the world, is completely incomparable with the Yang Jingxing expert classroom that will be opened soon, but it is said that the school will equip each student in the piano department with a Steinway grand piano.

I finally met the students. The Asian boy played the violin very well, and the Caucasian girl who accompanied the piano also showed very solid basic skills.

Yang Jingxing stopped to appreciate it for a while, but the students didn't give back any face at all, not to mention asking for autographs and asking for a group photo.

But the corridor is worth seeing, like a small museum of school history, with many photos and commemorative objects.Outside of music, Yang Jingxing would listen to the school's explanation with great interest, and inside of music, he would also express his own opinions.

There is a graduates memorial wall. It is said that every group photo of graduates since the establishment of the school is here. The progress of science and technology can be seen from the changes in the color quality of the photos.Curtis has less than [-] undergraduates, and the number of graduates over the years has not fluctuated greatly. The portraits can be clearly seen in the photos of more than ten inches, not to mention the directory below.

Yang Jingxing's eyesight is also very good, and he can recognize famous musicians faster than those who have worked here for decades, and he can also make comments, but what he talks about is basically the advantages and disadvantages.

The school staff seemed to like to hear Yang Jingxing's comments on those performers and singers. Although Yang Jingxing didn't speak very deeply, the directors and assistants also understood what they heard and would ask questions.

The pair of male and female students who practiced the piano seemed to be leaving with the piano, but they just followed by without reporting and applying. It was impolite, and the school didn't even stop it.

You will find a trend, now musicians also become famous as early as possible, so it is getting easier and easier to identify by looking at photos.For example, Hilary Cole, who graduated in [-], is a "rarely seen in a century" violin genius. Even though her graduation photos are quite different from the blockbusters in fashion magazines, Yang Jingxing still praised "she is very beautiful." ".

The school didn't seem to think the guests were frivolous, and they felt the same pride.

Although he has never heard the scene or seen a real person, Yang Jingxing dared to talk about the "magic performance" of the most popular classical music star in the world today, even if he was already famous all over the world and famous among music fans when he was a teenager. Even a hundred Yang Jingxing couldn't compare.

Of course, as a professional talking about the top players in the industry in a professional place, Yang Jingxing can't just talk about how rich and colorful the timbre of the performer is, how firm and soft the melody is, how fresh and refined the emotion is, and the performance is full of youthful enthusiasm. Also mature and introspective...

Hilary Cole is also a DG performer, and has released no less than ten albums, almost all of which are sold well, leaving Leeds competition champion An Xin far behind.Yang Jingxing commented on three of the albums. These three albums can best reflect the characteristics of the performer from the whole to the details, and also reflect the changes and progress of the performer over the years.

It is generally recognized that the Bach produced by Hilary Cole is invincible in the world today, and Yang Jingxing also demonstrated from various details that it is indeed impeccable. What is even more commendable is that the performer is still unremittingly pursuing a higher level on the basis of impeccability , and has been gaining, but: "...I feel that she has a slight deviation in the direction of seeking the personal optimal solution, just like a dancer's choice between the most graceful dance and the most gorgeous dance steps. doubts. Of course, even if this is the case, it is only a small regret for her under the perfection."

The old and the young all stared at the uninvited guest, unable to conceal their surprise.The academic director tried his best to remain polite and serious: "What made you say that? I'm curious."

After hesitating for a while, Director Yang explained his point of view by taking the broken chords in Bach's unaccompanied violin sonata as an example: "... just as the works almost sum up the techniques and characteristics of all Baroque music, Hilary Cole also Trying to put the best techniques together perfectly, for all of us she certainly does a very good job, but her own, repeated and even contradictory fingering changes show that she is still exploring, I guess maybe because she is not sure yet How to be the best Hilary Cole."

A group of administrators, no matter how they understand music, it is impossible to understand the subtle fingering changes in different albums of performers.Fortunately, there are professional ones nearby. A few old guys looked at the Asian boy with the piano case.The Asian boy stared blankly at the graduation photo on the wall, his mouth still closed and he didn't know what to think.

Yang Jingxing changed the character in surprise: "Cooper Smith, I saw him in Berlin..."

Just half an hour after arriving, Yang Jingxing became the guide instead of the guests, and at the end a dozen or twenty people followed him to listen to him introduce and comment on musicians in another way.In such a narrow corridor, in order not to cause congestion, Yang Jingxing only introduced it to the 60s and then summed it up. Curtis is really amazing.

The audience is still applauding, and the guests are welcome to continue to visit.

At the end of the visit, we started the discussion, first of all, we were familiar with each other and chatted to communicate with each other.Fortunately, Teacher You won't pretend to take a notebook to record now, so Director Yang doesn't need to be distracted by embarrassment, and can chat and laugh happily with others.

After the chat, the others left first, and the receptionist and the principal's assistant then confirmed with the guests tomorrow's activities and details, and more importantly, the cooperation between the two schools. The principal was so busy that he didn't have time to sit down and discuss one by one.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Director Yang was sent out of the school, and the official event will be tomorrow, so there is no need to say goodbye solemnly today, just a few polite words will do.

On the streets of a foreign country, the cold wind knocked Director Yang back to his original form, who was bluffing laymen with his professional skills an hour ago. He chatted with Mr. You: "Go shopping? Buy something."

"I..." Teacher You hesitated for a moment: "I'll go back and make some preparations, and I'll take care of it tomorrow. Lao Qin and the others must have new news."

Yang Jingxing strikes: "You're still watching, I've already rested."

Teacher You shook his head resolutely: "I can't rest today, I have to contact you as soon as I can help here, the workload is not small."

Yang Jingxing laughed: "Are you complaining or flattering me?"

Teacher You also grinned happily: "...Neither of them! You go shopping, you don't have time anymore. Did you get on the plane in New York? I didn't have a chance to call and ask about it just now."

Yang Jingxing was disgusted: "There are so many particulars, who would be out of touch."

"That's definitely not." Teacher You meant: "As me, I should tell Lao Zhou over there."

Yang Jingxing didn't bother to repeat those things: "Let's go and have a look together, it doesn't make sense not to bring something to my girlfriend."

Teacher You was still embarrassed: "...she understands, time is so tight."

Yang Jingxing asked, "What color do you like? Let me bring you a bag."

Teacher You shook his head again and again, no, no, no, no.

Yang Jingxing was annoyed: "Don't be verbose."

Teacher You immediately said, "Red and blue are also fine...in fact, both are fine."

Yang Jingxing said, "I just looked at it casually. Anyway, your taste is probably not much higher than mine."

After getting into the taxi, Yang Jingxing became an upstart again, and directly asked the driver to go to the best shopping place.The driver first suggested a good place, and then explained that it was a bit far away, which meant that it was not in the main urban area.

Yang Jingxing doesn't care about the fare, let's go...go to some district or street before going.

The driver still needs to remind that it is in the opposite direction to the south, and it is not close. It will take more than [-] miles to go shopping in the north after going back and forth.

Yang Jingxing is rich, let's go.
