Old-time musicians

Chapter 45 String Quartet

The five people at the door of the chamber music hall were shaken by Lu's "idiot" scolding. Google search reading

Lu has a strong and tall appearance, and he was quite polite to Fan Ning in the previous dream, but this does not mean that the team leader is a rough guy, nor does it mean that he has a good temper.

On the contrary, he was born into a family of imperial railway tycoons, pampered, well-informed, and extremely thoughtful.

You also know when you need to manage your own emotions, and when you need to use your emotions to manage others.

His face is extremely ugly now. Several large business owner families are emerging in the empire. They are fighting fiercely overtly and covertly. This time, he finally managed to establish a relationship with someone who is at least a high-ranking and knowledgeable person.

Even if there won't be any cooperation involving mysterious fields in the short term, Fan Ning's future musical talent alone is enough to be worthy of the family's friendship.

As a combination of artist and intellectual, no one will doubt how powerful his future inspiration will be!

I didn’t expect that the first official meeting would lead to such a meaningless incident! Moreover, these six people who caused the conflict were all members of my second group!

He glanced at Fan Ning standing next to him out of the corner of his eye.

"There's no angry expression, but I can't say that his face is cheerful. People who know people have different personalities. It's hard to tell why he is carrying a violin case? It seems that he is carrying it for the little girl next to him. These two girls look familiar to me. By the way, it seems that the two people sitting in the first row of the funeral were Professor Anton’s daughter and her friend? Mr. Fanning appointed these two to be the violinists of his works. Their relationship is extraordinary.”

Many thoughts flashed through Lu's mind, and he was also thinking about how to deal with the awkward situation of meeting Fan Ning for the first time.

"Team leader, please come in. I'm really sorry. We didn't know in advance that it was you who wanted to rehearse the work."

The leading French horn player woke up from a dream and was frightened.

"It's not my work, it's Mr. Fan Ning's." Lu said coldly.

Fan Ning suddenly thought of a question: "Captain Adair, can we have the opportunity to use the chamber music hall of the teaching venue?"

Small chamber music halls 1, 2, and 3 are teaching venues, while 4, 5, and 6 are open venues.

Seeing Fan Ning asking him questions, Lu was obviously relieved:

"Of course, Mr. Fan Ning, which one do you want to go to? Also, you can just call me Lu."

"No. 1." Fan Ning nodded: "Leave No. 4 to them."

"It seems that you have your own opinions on the requirements for sound effects. Wait a moment, I will go to the duty room downstairs."

Those people were so open-mouthed that they did not expect that the team leader would be so polite to Fan Ning and personally participate in the rehearsal of Fan Ning's new work.

Rehearsing new works is like a pyramid, with famous composers and performers at the top of the tower begging for rehearsal opportunities, especially the premiere of their new works.

Ordinary composers, in turn, beg others to rehearse their works, in order to hear the true effect of their writing, and to promote themselves.

If you say nice things and ask others to rehearse, others may not be willing to do it - there are so many masterpieces of serious music, why do you spend so much time practicing the notes you wrote? The works of art masters are often performed, and the water you pour will basically no one care about it in the future.

Fan Ning's image suddenly became mysterious and tall in the minds of the second group.

After Lu asked Fan Ning to wait, he walked to the stairwell on the other side.

When he passed by those people, he glanced at their faces fiercely.

The few people understood immediately and hurriedly thanked Fan Ning and Qiong before entering Hall 4, too embarrassed to close the door.

"Caron, this Lu is your grade leader? Why is he so polite to you?" Joan was also very surprised when she saw this scene.

"He is the leader of the second team, and I am in the third team." Fan Ning explained casually, "We usually have a good relationship."

"I met him and he seemed to be the timpanist for the Santa Lenia Symphony Orchestra," Sheeran said.

"Yes, he also studies viola." Fan Ning said, "I will introduce everyone to each other later."

In the small chamber music hall No. 1, the door is ajar and the lights are bright.

The grand piano on the stage was slightly moved to the side by the staff, while four chairs and a music stand were placed in the center.

Xilan, Qiong, and Lu took out their violins and wiped rosin on the bows, while Fan Ning was fine-tuning the relative positions of the musicians' chairs.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm a little late today due to work." A sweet, elegant and apologetic female voice came from the door, "Everyone actually applied for Hall 1. I really like it here."

Roy walked in step by step. She was wearing a slim-fitting purple woolen dress with a carefully cut trailing skirt underneath. A silk belt made her tall figure even more elegant.

Two well-dressed female attendants walked to the center of the stage with the cello case, opened and put the instrument in place, then saluted everyone and left, closing the door of the concert hall.

Lu said hello to the girl in the purple skirt: "Miss Roy, your outfit will always lead the fashion trend of the Tioline Empire."

Fanning smiled back at Roy.

This is...it's time for the next class, and you've changed your clothes again?

Then guide the four people to introduce each other, and then distribute the music scores to everyone.

"Currently, only the score has been written, so everyone has to find their own line among the four lines. The frequency of turning over the score may be a little more, please forgive me."

"'String Quartet in D minor' is dedicated to Marquis Paul McAdam." Roy read softly, "The subtitle is - 'Death and the Maiden'?"

"It's a very touching name, mysterious and charming, but also carries a certain danger." Lu praised it.

"I like the tonality that's very friendly to strings." Qiong chuckled.

Sheeran looked at the music score for a while, and then looked at Fanning for a while.

"Yes, I will also use it to participate in the second round of the work selection competition." Fan Ning responded with a smile.

This piece was written by Schubert, the former Romantic composer master, as his String Quartet No. 14, op. 810.

Fan Ning originally wanted to change the name slightly, but found that people in different worlds had folk vocabulary for "Death" with basically the same meaning, so he kept the original name.

This is a highly dramatic chamber music masterpiece by Schubert, with a unique mysterious atmosphere and philosophy. The first and last movements run through the longing for life. The second movement at the core is like a desolate and painful cry, and the ending is contradictory. The conflict is resolved and ends with Death's victory.

Writing a work that is not a piano solo from memory is a very big challenge for Fan Ning. Although he is very familiar with the music, he does not know how to play other instruments.

Thanks to two generations of musical literacy and the intensity of inspiration of a knowledgeable person, his recall and extraction of subconscious thoughts are far beyond ordinary people.

The work, which lasts for more than half an hour, uses the method of recall and reasoning to clearly present the movement of the four voices. The accuracy of the notes should exceed 99%, and the remaining 1% is mainly the discrepancy of the secondary voices in some complex passages.

In his previous life, he had read some time-travel novels with musical elements. The protagonist in them recalled and wrote a symphony at every turn. The huge musical form, twenty or thirty independently moving parts, and ten or twenty kinds of orchestration were all perfect. Reappear.

When it was his turn to travel through time, he found that currently, with his inspiration as a third-level sage, recalling a string quartet was all he could do.

"Mr. Fan Ning, would you like to give us some tips first?" Lu said.

"Well, let me think about it." Lu's words reminded Fan Ning.

"Chamber music generally does not require a conductor by default, but now that you are sight-reading for the first time, I will simply guide the tempo. In terms of speed, it is about 20 to 30% slower than the score. Let's try to go down first. Ignore the expression terms on the score for the time being. Don’t do too much personalization. When turning over the score, stop for a bar. If you make a wrong note, don’t look back and continue to follow.”

Fan Ning made requests to the four people concisely and comprehensively.

Then walk up to the piano and press the sol note to the left of the middle C key.

The sound of the four open violins sounded in the concert hall, and everyone began to check the pitch.

Fanning climbed onto the podium and picked up the well-worn public baton in its slot.

He said loudly: "Everyone, how are you preparing?"

"I have no problem." Xilan, the first violinist, held a bow and stared at the young man's hand on the stage, his voice soft but confident.

"Caron, I, I, I, I'm a little nervous." Second violinist Joan's voice was soft and trembling.

"No problem." Viola Lu also looked at Fan Ning's gesture seriously.

"You can start." Cello Roy's smile was sweet and his voice was confident.

Fan Ning smiled slightly and gave an encouraging look.

Then he raised his arm to lift the stick, raised the gesture of preparing to shoot, and then swung it down hard!
