Debut After Eight Years

Chapter 298: On-site improvisation? Questions from the world's top artists

Sitting at the scene listening to Wang Qian's lecture, it can be said that none of them are ordinary people.

They are both rich and noble.

In Europe and the United States, it is not ordinary people who can become an artist or who can hold on to art as a hobby for a long time.

Whether you are studying art or loving art, it is a very money-consuming behavior. Going to a high-end concert is much more expensive than watching a movie or a concert.

And most of the people at the scene are people who are engaged in music and art careers, either performers of various instruments or composers!

but.

No matter what kind of person they are, they all know deeply.

The pipa song that Wang Qian just played is definitely a very successful piece!

Although, it seemed very sudden at the end, as if it hadn't been completed yet.

However, the many changes and foreshadowings in the front of the song are very complete, and the artistic conception and picture of the performance are also very clear, so that everyone can hear that this is the song describing the war, and at the same time it has a bit of tragic meaning at the end. It means that one party has failed and may die unusually.

Such a piece that everyone can understand is an absolutely rare piece.

It already has the characteristics of those classic songs in the history of music, but what it lacks is its wide spread and long-term accumulation.

And such a piece of music, Wang Qian said it was perfected on the spot, while perfecting it, playing it in real time?

Many people still do not believe it instinctively!

Especially many people who have had creative experience do not believe it.

Those composers, it takes several years to create a piece of music, and it will continue to be revised in the future, and it will take longer to polish to gradually perfect it, and it may even take about ten years before it can actually be performed in public.

Who dares to take out a song that is not perfect enough and perform it while perfecting it?

No one dares!

Those music masters in history did not dare.

This is almost equivalent to live creation, improvisation.

Once they fail, it will be a huge blow to those who have already become famous, and a bad one is the end of ruin.

Therefore, the tunes that have been publicly performed are basically those that have been polished and cannot be semi-finished.

Looking at Wang Qian with a pair of eyes, many people expressed doubts and disbelief about his evil.

Dawson and Kalman, Max, Malone, David, Murphy and other top music artists have more suspicions. They have rich experiences throughout their lives. They are top performers and have personally participated in many creations. They know very well that they want to create. How much time and effort will take for a piece that can be played publicly!

Coupled with the fact that there are fewer and fewer people engaged in classical music work, so the number of outstanding songs has also decreased over the years, and now it is about to enter a real era of dying.

As a creator, Christine also had some doubts when looking at Wang Qian's eyes, but she didn't say it directly.

Because she knows that she is not a music artist, but a pop singer, even if she is a world-class queen, but in the eyes of those big artists, she doesn't have much face.

Therefore, she came very low-key, and she was paying more attention to her words at the moment.

At the moment, Christine smiled and said: "I have to say that your temporary creation is perfect. What this song brings me only surprise and novelty. Excuse me, what is the name of this song? What story does it tell? ?"

Many people pricked their ears, wanting to hear Wang Qian's answer.

Wang Qian did not answer directly, but asked: "What did you hear from this song?"

Christine did not hesitate, and directly stated his intuitive feelings: "Dangerous, fierce, war, grand, death, very compact and exciting, just like a fast-paced movie, so that the ears can't stop at all."

Many people at the scene nodded in agreement with her feelings when they heard Christine's words.

This is the same feeling that many people have!

This pipa song is very exciting, and it makes everyone emotionally tense at the beginning. It seems to be in crisis and will die at any time.

The magnificent and exciting war scenes and the climax of death made everyone unforgettable.

Wang Qian smiled and nodded: "Your feelings are right. I wrote this song based on the dispute between Chu and Han in our Chinese history. It is about the final battle between the two sides for the victory of the dynasty. Whoever wins can become the emperor. And one party was surrounded by the other, surrounded by ambushes, so the atmosphere was very tense and critical. In the last battle, the besieged party failed completely. The leader refused to escape and committed suicide by the river. It was very tragic."

Wang Qian briefly told the core of this story.

Everyone at the scene understood, and immediately applauded.

The teachers and students of the China Music Visiting Group are most excited.

He Chaohui smiled and said: "It turned out to be the battle between Chu and Han. I think it is a war melody, but I don't know which war is about, maybe there is no clear direction! It turns out that it is about Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's struggle for hegemony."

Peng Donghu: "This piece is very well written. Thinking about it this way, every rhythm in it echoes the details of the dispute between Chu and Han. Professor Wang's cultural and musical background is very amazing."

Yang Jiansen and other teachers and students also nodded in agreement.

To write such a piece of music that has a rich historical and cultural heritage and can be accurately expressed, he is definitely a true Chinese cultural artist.

In this regard, all the musicians from China they were present were far inferior to Wang Qian.

Whether it is the teachers and students of the three major colleges, or Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan and others are the same.

Liu Shengnan looked at Wang Qian and said admiringly: "I think, now it is estimated that only Professor Wang has this kind of strength and foundation in China. Other people, I don't know who else can do this."

Liu Shengnan graduated from Zhejiang University and Central Music. She is well-informed in the field of literature and music. She is indeed qualified to make such an evaluation.

She has never seen a musical artist in the field of music who has such a profound literary background, nor has she seen anyone in the field of literature who has a high musical background!

No top achiever is the best of both.

Therefore, in the past few years, there has not been any national music with strong Chinese cultural elements. The widely circulated national music are all classic songs handed down a hundred years ago.

In their opinion, Wang Qian's pipa piece is almost no worse than those familiar classic folk music pieces, and it will surely be passed on in the future.

Xiao Dongmei and Ru Ke heard what Liu Shengnan said and nodded in agreement. One of them is the youngest writer and the other is a cutting-edge rock and roll from the national team. They both have a deep understanding of these two fields, so I know that what Liu Shengnan is telling is the truth.

A pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian on the podium, only to feel that Wang Qian had a halo that was unique in the world.

The applause lasted more than ten seconds and then stopped.

Christine asked: "Did you name the song? Or, is it still called the etude?"

There was some laughter at the scene.

Everyone knows that Wang Qian likes to name his own composition, which etude.

The previous piano pieces were all called the Etude No. before they were officially named.

This is a naming style that real music artists and even music masters have.

Before today's class, many people sneered at Wang Qian's naming style, very disdainful, thinking that Wang Qian was playing mystery and pretending to be coercive, and felt that Wang Qian was not qualified to name such a name.

now……

Everyone laughed kindly after listening to Christine's words.

No one thinks that Wang Qian is pretending to be compelling anymore. They all think that Wang Qian is qualified and capable to do so.

I have created so many songs, and I’m too lazy to choose the name one by one, just call it the number one etude. Isn’t it normal?

Even Max and Malone, several of the world's top music artists, all smiled at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian also laughed at himself, and replied to Christine: "There is already a name, it's called "Ambush on All Sides!" Translated into English, it means being surrounded and having nowhere to escape.

Christine thought about it carefully, and said to Wang Qian earnestly: "This name is very appropriate. My question is over, thank you."

After speaking, Christine gently bent over to Wang Qian, and then sat down.

In fact, she still wants to talk to Wang Qian about popular music topics, but it is obviously out of fashion to talk about popular music here.

There are so many people here, it is estimated that few people are interested in popular music.

If Christine exchanged pop music with Wang Qian here, he might be hostile to many old antique artists on the scene.

Christine didn't want to provoke public anger, so he asked for some information about the song and sat down.

Wang Qian nodded to Christine, then looked at everyone on the scene, and said: "This lesson is not short. I will now write down a few pieces except this pipa song. , And then talk to everyone about the specific details of these songs."

Wang Qian was relieved, and was inexplicably grateful to Christine.

The pop star did not embarrass him after all.

With this opportunity, he can quickly grasp the rhythm of this lesson, and then it will end soon!

Wang Qian turned and walked to the blackboard, ready to start writing scores.

Just write about Luoshen by the water, and Liang Zhu, the two piano pieces he played in this class, and the violin piece. I will explain the two mainstream European and American musical instruments. The pipa piece will be temporarily put down and wait for the next time I return to China It’s more meaningful to talk about lectures at Central Voice.

but……

obviously!

Today's class cannot be carried out in accordance with Wang Qian's wishes.

As soon as Wang Qian walked to the blackboard, before he lifted his pen, another arm was raised at the scene.

Although there are not as many as the thousands of people just now, there are at least hundreds of people.

Many people at the scene actually don’t want to listen to Wang Qian’s explanation of these two pieces. Anyway, they can see the score afterwards. They feel that with their musical prowess and artistic level, it’s not a problem to understand the two pieces, and it can go smoothly. Perform performance exercises.

Therefore, they believe that listening to Wang Qian's explanation of the music is a waste of time and opportunity.

Today, what is the most rare opportunity?

The opportunity to communicate directly with Wang Qian and the opportunity to make demands on Wang Qian is the most rare!

After today...

If they want to find such an opportunity to talk about music with Wang Qian, it will be very difficult.

so.

Few people at the scene wanted to listen to Wang Qian's explanation of the music.

They all want to hear more in-depth and more direct things.

for example!

Live performance beyond their imagination!

This can give them inspiration for playing skills.

for example!

Play a new song they haven't heard before!

This can bring them novelty and creative inspiration.

for example!

Ask the question whether it can be Wang Qian!

This can bring them happiness.

These are what they want to see and expect.

so.

As soon as Wang Qian ended his conversation with Christine, hundreds of people immediately raised their hands.

Wang Qian saw this scene with a wry smile on his face. He looked at everyone on the scene and said faintly: "It seems that everyone doesn't want to listen to me explain the music. That's right, such basic things are only those students need to listen to. Everyone present has long been out of the category of students, so naturally there is no need to listen."

"So, what do you want to hear from me?"

Wang Qian looked for a familiar face among his expectant eyes at the scene, so he could communicate with him in a friendly and harmonious manner like just now.

However, it is a pity.

Among the people who raised their hands at the scene, there were no faces that Wang Qian was familiar with.

There is one!

At the front row, Sophie's father, Mr. Malone, also raised his hand!

Max, who was sitting next to Malone, also raised his hand, but Wang Qian didn't know him.

These two are truly the world's top music artists, one is one of the top ten pianists in the world, and the other is the dean of the piano department of the world's top classical music school Julia. They are both top music artists standing at the top of the piano field.

Even Wang Qian took a closer look and discovered that the people who raised their hands this time were almost all the people sitting in the front rows. These are a group of people with a relatively high status in the field of music and art, and they can almost represent the music of European and American countries. The upper-level voice in the art field.

In the previous few times of raising their hands, most of the people in the middle and back rows raised their hands, and there were only a few people in the front row at most.

Because, at the beginning, most people still didn't recognize Wang Qian so much. With a disdain and questioning attitude, they thought that Wang Qian was not qualified to exchange music with them face to face. This is especially true for the top artists, who naturally will not surrender themselves to raise their hands and communicate with Wang Qian face to face.

And now.

Wang Qian conquered everyone on the scene with real hard power, and was recognized by all the top artists in the front row.

so.

Even these top music artists have given up their identities at this moment, or recognized Wang Qian's equal status with them, and chose to raise their hands to fight for the opportunity to communicate with Wang Qian face to face.

In this way, some people who raised their hands in the back slowly put down their hands, feeling that at this time, they still have to give the opportunity to the predecessors in front and the real top music artists.

So, under Wang Qian's gaze, one arm was lowered, and in the end only hundreds of people in the front row were left with their hands raised, their eyes fixed on Wang Qian.

Standing in front of the blackboard, Wang Qian casually stretched out his hand to a gray-haired old man in the front row and said, "This gentleman, get up and talk about it. What do you want to hear from me? Or, what do you want to say to me?"

The eyes of the scene were focused on the gray-haired old man.

Taylor explained to Sophie and Jiang Yu: "He is Terry, the deputy dean of the Composition Department of Eastman College, and a well-known major composer in New York. He has composed many famous piano and violin pieces. The poem released ten years ago won the Golden Piano Award, the highest award in the field of classical music in the world!"

Sophie looked at Terry who stood up clearly: "I know the song "The Language of the Wind, and I have practiced it for a long time. This is a good piece, but compared with Wang Qian's work, there should be more There is a little gap. That is the gap between good works and classics!"

Taylor glanced at Sophie. Today, Sophie's admiration for Wang Qian was a little surprised. She said indifferently: "Wang Qian's music has just been released for less than half a year, and it is far from a classic. For classical music, It will take at least fifty years to settle before it can be regarded as a classic."

Sophie smiled: "It's the same in fifty years!"

Jiang Yu said in agreement: "Sophie is right."

Jiang Yu is also a genius in the piano field and feels that he has a say in this.

The others all looked at Wang Qian and the composer Terry who stood up seriously one after another.

Many European and American music artists around saw Terry stand up, and they all gave applause. Many of them have cooperated with Terry, and almost most of them have played Terry's music.

Although Terry is famous for the language of piano genre, he has composed no less than 20 pieces in his lifetime, which is considered prolific in the field of classical music. Among them, there are enough pieces that have been played publicly and recognized by the world. Five poems.

This is among the top five contemporary composers living in the world.

However, Wang Qian is almost surpassing his figure now.

Teri calmly and slightly proudly accepted the applause from everyone around him. Then, when the applause calmed down, he looked at Wang Qian and said in a muddy tone: "Mr. Wang Qian, my name is Terry. It’s a person who writes a piece of music, and you should have a common topic to talk about."

Wang Qian smiled at Terry and said: "Hello, Mr. Terry, I also hope that we can have a common topic to talk about, so it must be very happy! What does Mr. Terry want to talk about?"

Terry looked at Wang Qian with seriousness in his slightly muddy old eyes, and said, "Let's talk about music creation."

Wang Qian stretched out his hand to invite, still smiling: "Okay, please tell me."

Terry nodded, accepted Wang Qian's invitation, and said, "You just said that the pipa song you just played was improvised on the spot, didn't you?"

Wang Qian froze for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I mean, this is an unfinished piece I composed a few years ago, and then I improved it on the spot just now, and then played it."

Terry stared at Wang Qian: "Isn't that just on-site creation? This piece of music was created on-site just now, do you mean that?"

The atmosphere at the scene calmed down again.

Everyone could see that Terry seemed to be a bad person. When he stared at Wang Qian, he was full of momentum and spoke very seriously, as if he was arguing and finding fault.

Many European and American music artists and art lovers watched this scene with great interest and anticipation. They would not worry about Wang Qian, but would only think that Terry did a good job.

No matter how powerful Wang Qian’s musical strength and background are, even if they recognize Wang Qian’s background, they still will not regard Wang Qian as their own, and they will still regard Wang Qian as an outsider. When Wang Qian makes a fool of himself, they will still feel happy and happy.

Especially now, Wang Qian has also shown a strong musical background, and Wang Qian makes a fool of them with such a strong background, and they will be even happier.

Therefore, many people are expecting that Teri, the world's top music artist, can stump Wang Qian.

Only the people on the Huaxia delegation are very worried about Wang Qian.

The smile on Wang Qian's face also disappeared, and his expression was calm. He looked at Terry and said lightly, "Mr. Terry can also understand this."

Terry immediately asked again: "So, you created the song you just created on the spot?"

Wang Qian knew that the visitors were unkind, so he said with certainty: "Yes!"

Terry looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "You lie!"

Wang Qian said lightly: "I don't need to lie."

Terry: "But you are lying. I have been in music creation for forty-five years. I have composed more than 20 works. I have seen all the top music creators in the world. No one can do this. This is not black people. Hippy music, just sing a few melody and lyrics is on-site improvisation. This is a serious musical art, a musical art full of national culture. It needs a complete artistic conception and rhythm. No one can do improvisation like you said. creation."

Some discussions sounded at the scene.

"Professor Terry is right. No one can do this. Wang Qian is lying. He deliberately said this, so it seems that he is better than us."

"He shouldn't lie, especially on music. There are many people on the scene who can expose his lies."

"Huaxia people really love to cheat."

"Although, the pipa piece just now surprised me, but I also want to say that it is impossible to improvise a piece like that on the spot. No one can, no one!"

"It must have been created by him a long time ago..."

...

Many people have expressed doubts about Wang Qian's recognition of Terry's words.

Wang Qian shrugged, walked to the desk, still facing everyone calmly, and said softly: "You can't do it, and other people you've met can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it either. Do not lie."

Terry stared at Wang Qian and said solemnly: "Then how do you prove this?"

Wang Qian shook his head: "I don't need to prove it, because I won't lie and deceive you. It doesn't make any sense."

No proof required?

You say yes?

Many people at the scene were dissatisfied with what Wang Qian said.

"Can't prove it, it's fake."

Someone said loudly.

Wang Qian looked at the man and said faintly: "If you think it is fake to make you happy and satisfy some of your emotions, then you can think so. However, I will not admit it, because I said. It’s the truth."

Terry looked at Wang Qian upright, and said loudly: "If you can follow what I said and create a piece of music on the spot, you don't need to be as good as the few pieces you just played, as long as it is a complete piece of music~www .novelmt.com~ I will admit that you did not lie, and I will apologize to you for my recklessness just now. Besides, I will invite you to enter the composition department of Eastman College as a professor..."

Terry's words spread throughout the audience.

The scene quieted down instantly.

Everyone looked at Terry.

And Curtis College landlord Professor Dawson and Kalman both looked back at Terry.

Max and Malone also looked at Terry.

They all looked at Terry with some unkind eyes.

Terry seems to be constantly aggressive towards Wang Qian!

But……

In the end, the purpose was revealed.

This guy!

Uneasy and kind.
