Since it is the key argument, the lecturer has to present "Moonlight Sonata" in a more comprehensive way. He selected three excerpts from the first movement, all of which are nearly half a minute long. Of course, he interpreted them in a form that is beneficial to his own point of view. .

The audience didn't intend to let it go easily, and they all focused their attention on it.

In the second movement, Yang Jingxing only played two small representative fragments, adding up to more than half a minute.

Some of the listeners seem to have grasped something, and each other is closely embracing each other to inform each other.

The third movement of "Moonlight Sonata", the most famous, most popular and most performed instrumental work in the history of mankind, is a magical movement performed by many pianist masters with different styles but does not cause controversy. The movement remains as inclusive as the sea, and even a loyal fan of a certain player will be happy to accept and appreciate even the opposite interpretations of different players, each with its own beauty.

Various words are used by musicians, critics, writers, and even arty politicians and businessmen to describe the third movement of Moonlight Sonata, warm, strong, angry, boiling, passionate, deep, painful, unrestrained, conquering, penetrating... and The deduction methods and genres of different emotional colors corresponding to these words are also too numerous to enumerate.

Even though there are countless mountains blocking the front, today's lecturer still found another way to justify himself, especially for professional ears, the first few bars of the movement played on the stage are already considered bold and reckless.

Curtis’s ears are of course professional. When the lecturer finished demonstrating the first dozen bars of the movement, he paused for a while and immediately began to show the main theme of the second paragraph. Many people in the audience could no longer hide their surprise. Yi, what is this?

What's worse is still to come. When the lecturer demonstrates the second theme, the rhythm and volume of the music are already erratic and out of order, and some parts have violated the requirements of the current music scores.

It seems that the well-informed Curtis people have also begun to lose their composure. Some students have dumbfounded expressions, while others are restless and want to stand up immediately to expose and accuse the lecturer.Compared with the few surprises and doubts caused by the music style, the more negative expressions in the audience were obviously caused by the stinginess of the lecturer. When Yang Jingxing stopped a wonderful and beautiful section abruptly, the frowning expressions in the audience kept coming and going. It takes a few bars to regain calm and focus.

You can't be too stingy. Yang Jingxing gave a three-minute demonstration of the third movement. This movement is usually only six or seven minutes long. It can be said that the lecturer has demonstrated his understanding quite comprehensively, and it has a beginning and an end. Although this The ending is also deviant.

When the last note fell on the stage, those in the audience who maintained their demeanor raised their hands in time to show that they were not shocked at all, and were still ready to applaud step by step.

But Yang Jingxing spoke faster: "How does it sound?"

There was silence and no one answered, and those who seemed more excited didn't stand up, they were still watching around as if they didn't want to be the first bird or wanted to unite more people, but their movements were actually not as good as those who didn't say a word. Staring at the people on the stage has momentum.

Yang Jingxing really dared to ask: "Does anyone think this kind of Moonlight Sonata is not bad?"

In the lecturer's sight search, the girl with a handsome face and a not-so-dark complexion showed responsibility, straightened her upper body and sacrificed herself: "I like it." The voice was not loud. It seemed so lonely and helpless in the house.

Yang Jingxing snorted, but basically smiled.

"Me too." A white boy in the front row nodded earnestly: "Not bad, I mean it would be better if he could listen to the whole thing." Does this guy have a crush on other girls? The black girl's sideways glance.

Just the two of them, Yang Jingxing could only nod his head: "Okay, maybe this is too much..."

what does it mean?Look down on people?Still want to show off to Curtis with this little thing?Immediately, there were several voices from the audience enthusiastically expressing that they not only liked it, but also thought it was very special, and then more people nodded and said yes. Reason why posting is good.Being strongly supported by classmates and teachers, the half-black girls looked moved.

Yang Jingxing also had to speak up: "Just imagine, which of Beethoven's previous sonatas has such potential?"

The audience quickly fell silent, but without showing weakness, someone immediately replied: "Sorrowful!"

Yang Jingxing asked, "How?"

The boy looked bewildered.

Yang Jingxing still saved face: "Don't let it go and try it..." He didn't bother to sit down this time, and fiddled with the essence of the pathetic sonata. After feeling that it wasn't the case, he wanted others to help: "Who has a better idea?" ?"

No one gave face.

Yang Jingxing started talking to himself again: "Actually, I don't really like the Moonlight Sonata just now..."

The audience was dumbfounded, and there was no anger of being fooled in a short time.

Yang Jingxing paced sideways: "But this does not prevent us from proving the inclusiveness of the work. I thought of a simple word to imprecisely summarize the reasons for this inclusiveness..."

The audience is on high alert.

Yang Jingxing was ashamed, looked at the three Chinese students sitting together on the left and spoke his mother tongue: "How do you say love and hate are intertwined?"

The three Chinese students looked at each other, and a girl who was estimated to be only sixteen or seventeen years old helped loudly and simply: "love-hate etnship."

Curtis and the others, in order to appear that they are geniuses who don't know how to learn their lessons, the moment the Chinese girl finished speaking, the room suddenly burst into enlightenment, and these young people became more and more excited.

Yang Jingxing came again: "I don't think this is a relationship, is there such a thing as lovehatetereave?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some people shook their heads, as if there was no such thing, but some people seemed to think that this statement was not very problematic after repeating it twice.

It is really lacking, Yang Jingxing is not afraid: "In Chinese we say lovehatetereave, I think it is more vivid, especially for this sonata. In Chinese we call tereave interweaving, and music texture as texture, the same weaving, meaning It's eave, it's gossip...that's why I think the Moonlight Sonata is a great piece, the relationship of love and hate it contains."

The audience also seemed interested in gossip.

Yang Jingxing teased again: "Understanding music can transcend worldly troubles...a beautiful wish."

The students were happy.

Yang Jingxing was serious again: "It is likely that this wish made Beethoven constantly surpass himself, thank you for thinking so."

The students are also solemn about the great composition.

Yang Jingxing paced in the opposite direction, sorting out his thoughts: "Genius and talent, technical theory and personal characteristics..."

A curly-haired white boy shouted impolitely: "If you don't like the Moonlight Sonata just now, how would you play it?" The accent is not from a local.

Not only did none of the teachers stand up and criticize, but the whole room seemed to support the boy's question, and they all seemed eager to hear the answer, with some expressions that seemed eager.

Yang Jingxing politely declined: "Let's continue chatting about talent and talent..."

There was almost a burst of laughter, and the dean and Graffman also laughed.

Yang Jingxing is so strong, without changing his face: "Since we are talking about Beethoven, we might as well talk about Mozart, one of the most unquestionable geniuses in the history of human civilization. We can imagine with great regret that if Mozart did not die young, if he can be healthy What will happen if you live to be 60 or even 80?"

Got rich, suddenly made a fortune, the audience probably had this expression.

What Yang Jingxing said is not new: "Mozart created the pinnacle of music history, but he is still far away from his personal pinnacle..."

The audience also listened attentively.

Yang Jingxing also used the knowledge Qi Qingnuo shared with him: "A translator in China said that if Beethoven gave us the courage to fight, then what Mozart shared with me is infinite confidence..."

Facts have proved that Curtis's students also love to listen to those gossips, and they all enjoy it. The solemn academic atmosphere before the lecture is probably mostly faked.However, some students took the opportunity to suggest the lecturer: "Can you tell me about Mozart's piano sonata or concerto? Thank you."

It was just a word that awakened the dreamer, and the students nodded with a pious attitude to express that they also love learning very much.

Yang Jingxing was a little embarrassed: "Mozart is too special. I think we can know Beethoven through his music, but Mozart should know his music through him. Have any of you tried to become Mozart's friend?"

Sure enough, it was a gathering place for geniuses, and there were four or five people who nodded their heads more or less. The curly-haired white boy who looked like an aristocrat raised his hand and was even a little proud: "I think I know him quite well. Mozart is an optimistic and humorous person who conveys happiness. , I appreciate this spiritual friend."

Yang Jingxing: "Can you choose a few favorite works?"

"The piano concertos after NO.20, some sonatas, the fourth and fifth violin concertos..." The boy still introduced himself first: "I play the piano, my name is Dominic Horn, and I'm from Hungary."

Face is given to each other, Yang Jingxing was pleasantly surprised: "It was you who won the best concerto award in the Chopin competition?"

The boy suddenly became humble: "Yes." It was only two months ago, and it is quite important to win the No.200 competition plus the best concerto award on Chopin's 2th birthday.

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I listened to part of your game recording, it's very good, smooth and coordinated."

The boy got angry again: "Thank you, sir."

Yang Jingxing didn't dare to comment on the runner-up, and it was safer to talk nonsense: "Compared to Beethoven, it may be more interesting to compare Chopin with Mozart. Their piano works look so different. I think this difference is mainly because The development of composition and performance technology, but beyond the technology, I guess Chopin also regarded Mozart as a good friend."

Seeing the lecturer walking towards the piano again, some audience members also adjusted their sitting postures. It seemed that enjoying music was more serious than listening to nonsense.

Yang Jingxing came to the next section before he could sit still, and then took care of more people: "This is Mozart's Sixth Piano Concerto."

The audience nodded, the stage was right.

Yang Jingxing played another melody, and then told everyone: "From Chopin's Polish song ring."

Those who like to nod their heads continue to nod, and those who like to think will use their brains even more.

Yang Jingxing didn't give any time: "This may be a coincidence, but there are many such coincidences. I regard these as wealth that Chopin has absorbed from geniuses and can use for himself. We can look at some more examples of things that are beneficial to ourselves..."

The lecturer played again and explained a little bit, but it was still obvious that quite a few students couldn't keep up with the rhythm. After all, most of the students were just geniuses in a certain musical instrument, not musicologists.What's even more exasperating is that Yang Jingxing only wanted to show the evidence quickly, and didn't consider the integrity of the music at all. He even played half of a phrase. feel.

Curtis, geniuses who have finished their pursuits and usually hang out with their own kind, have limited patience. After listening to a few sets of evidence, the expressions of dissatisfaction that appeared after the lecturer ended a certain piece of music without warning have become more and more obvious. Some people are even so irritable that they make physical movements.On this occasion, I didn't play the classic phrases in Chopin's Nocturne completely. It's too disrespectful to the composer.

Yang Jingxing stood up again: "In the same industry, everyone will inevitably follow in the footsteps of geniuses and great predecessors. Chopin is amazing, and his excellence in following is also worthy of our following."

Whether the Curtiss were hypocritical or polite, they actually applauded again. The previous frowns, uneasiness, annoyance, regret... all disappeared and concealed without a trace. The audience became academic and artistic again, and they could even make A general look of euphoria and excitement.

The applause was still short, but Yang Jingxing couldn't wait to dissuade him: "Okay...can anyone provide me with another topic? Thank you."

There were five or six voices from the audience, but they quickly stopped arguing, and still raised their hands without embarrassing the dean, although the gestures were a bit casual.

Yang Jingxing pointed at the freckled red-haired girl who was raised high.

The brown-red-haired girl seemed to be just joining in the fun. After being selected, she couldn't say anything. She was stunned for a moment and then spoke quickly to get the job done: "Who do you think is the best follower of Chopin among the musicians?"

Regarding the gossip question, Yang Jingxing said the usual formula: "I have no right to evaluate the best, and I don't think that what I like is the best. There are many performers I admire..."

The girls spoke faster: "Can you tell me about their outstanding talents?"

Curtis' girl seemed to be very appealing, and the audience was full of support and expectations, but what they saw was the lecturer standing up and leaving his seat.The expression of the brown-red-haired girl was astonished. What kind of attitude is this lecturer? Who can’t just talk about it? How can people deepen their memory and understanding without demonstration?

Yang Jingxing's tone seemed to be a little sighing: "Of course, it's Artur Rubinstein first..."

The lecturers were just chatting again. Although there are many extraordinary performers, they have been studied and studied for a long time. Yang Jingxing couldn't say anything new, so he gave each performer two clichéd compliments, and a little mention is the most commendable. personal technical or emotional characteristics.

The audience is quite calm, and it's good not to have to endure the lecturer's out-of-context and generalized presentation.

Chatting from Rubinstein to Ashkenazi to Horowitz, of course there is Emerman Argerich Fu Cong Anda, there is also Alivadi Francois Deng Taixin, and Qin Mengli and others are closer , Yang Jingxing walked to the piano while talking: "I want to talk a little more about Mr. Pollini..."

The audience nodded in encouragement, right, how could this one be missing, and then they all stretched their necks and prepared to do something in the stands.

Yang Jingxing sat down and played first.

The piano only played three or four notes, and the audience rushed to nod their heads to show that they heard something, the third of the tenth etude.

About 4 minutes into the relatively elastic piece, Yang Jingxing played the second half, the complete second half, without unexpected jumps and a normal ending, and then the lecturer looked at the audience: "Is this probably the case? To Mr. Pollini Apologies." After all, the master is still active in the piano arena.

This time, no one was upset, but no one answered the phone. Most of the students were silent and motionless, and only a few were as shocked as before.

The students don't give face, and the teachers have to cheer. After a few seconds of silence, the Taiwanese from the piano department made up for it: "It's... very close."

The teacher must take the lead. The students also began to nod, and soon became enthusiastic, and soon began to admire and surprise, not afraid that Pollini would not know.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Has anyone heard of this version of the recording?"

Cut, it's really a dog's eyes looking down on people, and a voice answered bravely. Who hasn't heard the 1972 etudes of Chopin recorded in dg in 24 countless times?Did that person on the stage think he was facing a children's interest class?

"No." Yang Jingxing played around again: "This is a recording from 1960, after he won the Chopin Competition..."

Is it tolerable or unbearable, this bird man has repeated several times, the students in the audience are so angry that they can't speak, they can only stare at the stage, some students will look to the teacher, ask for help or wait for orders.

Graffman has been calm all the time, but he had to speak: "I know, there is such a thing, the recording after the game has not been released."

Yang Jingxing knew the inside story: "I think soon, the record company has this plan, now let's listen to the 1972."

The same second half was still played on the stage, there was no difference, but the audience held their breaths. From the expressions that could not bear to blink, it could be seen how much these geniuses cared about honor. It is good to be brave after knowing shame.

Yang Jingxing was even more extreme. He only played half of the second half of the second time and then stopped: "From 1960 to 1972, after winning the championship, Mr. Pollini left the stage of honor to start a new study. I think this is his greatest achievement." A manifestation of talent..." Then play two bars: "This is 1960..." Then compare the same note: "This is 1972, amazing."

Now all the audience, old and young, are staring at the stage. **Ten pairs of eyes of all kinds are sharp, **Ten faces in the south, east, west, and north are unsmiling. Obviously, they don't intend to let the lecturer get caught up in Pollini. Light.There was no certain sound in the room, but the unanimous strength seemed so solemn and heavy that it was frightening. If someone entered the door at this time, they would probably be stunned by the atmosphere.

Fortunately, Yang Jingxing had wooed some people in advance in the morning, and it would come in handy at this time, and Graffman took the lead in applauding.I have to admire Graffman's high morals and prestige. As soon as he started, even the dean and his colleagues immediately responded positively, and the students were even more courageous.

Pollini is obviously also very famous, but he received such enthusiastic applause from the geniuses without being present, and even lasted longer, which must have set a new high today.
