Chapter Thirteen Sheeran's Graduation Gift

"Professor Graham is a member of the Bologna School. I have only met Miss Roy in her music salon. My first impression was acceptable, but overall I am not familiar with it."

Fan Ning searched through his memories and found that the only thing that left a deep impression was that the professor reminded him of the fear of being dominated by moving bricks in the laboratory in his previous life.

"Vice President Huxley introduced some of his chemical theoretical research results at the salon, and then seemed to mention in passing that he provided technical consulting services to many companies in the imperial capital of Santa Ramburg, and it seems that one of them included the Swiss company.

Latium Chemical Trading Company"

"Well, this does not necessarily confirm that there is something wrong with him. It may be just a simple way to make money, but it makes him more suspicious, because the signal sent by the Special Patrol Office is that he does not trust those guys at all, and he needs to follow the clues carefully.

The investigation is correct, why were you still calling me Professor Fan Ning just now?" Fan Ning was recalling and analyzing, and suddenly realized that Sheeran's title was strange.

"Or, Mr. Fan Ning?" The little girl crossed her arms and looked up at Fan Ning: "Isn't that what everyone calls him? Can't I?"

…Is Sheeran still angry from before?

Seeing her expression like this, Fan Ning felt a little puzzled and a little amused.

"...Let me show you something." He thought for a moment, took out a stack of music scores from his briefcase, leaned forward and handed it to the girl.

"Did you write another piece of music, right?" The little girl finally showed a hint of interest on her face, and after taking it, she began to read through it.

She first saw a line of treble clefs for violin and two lines of treble clefs for piano, and then read the beginning: "One sharp, the main chord is E minor, have you written a violin sonata?"

"xi——xi, sol, mi——mi..." She softly hummed the beginning of the melody line and exclaimed, "It sounds so good." Then her eyes glanced at the dedication position in the upper right corner, and finally she whispered

Get up, "Did you write this for me?"

"Your graduation gift." Fan Ning explained, "...actually this is a violin concerto, but I have been too busy recently, so the band part has only written the piano version for the time being, and it will take some time for the score to be released..."

"Oh...then why did you give it to me in advance today?" Sheeran looked up and asked while holding the music score.

…Every question you asked today is quite difficult to answer.

Fan Ning rubbed his forehead and chose to skip this question: "I plan to premiere this concerto at the Tioline Summer Arts Festival in August, and you will be invited to perform as a violin soloist with the Santa Lenia Symphony Orchestra.

Cooperation, um... follow a formal contract, and there will be performance remuneration, which can be negotiated in the form of a fixed amount or a proportion of the box office..."

This work is not his previous thoughts and expressions about "death" and "funeral" after learning about Viennese's life. It is a single-movement symphonic poem that is still in the idea stage...

This is the "Violin Concerto in E minor" by the romantic master Mendelssohn. Fan Ning used the piano arrangement to perform it with others in his previous life, so it is very familiar and easy to reproduce this step. Now his inspiration is even higher, and this piece

The orchestration of the work is not complicated, and you can recall and deduce it after spending a little time.

In its previous life, it and the three "Violin Concertos in D major" of the same name by Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky were called "the four major violin concertos in the world" - this is a recognized and uncontroversial consensus.

Enough to show its status.

Although the "Violin Concerto in E minor" is not the most magnificent in terms of length, and it will not be ranked among the most dazzling in terms of technique, this work always reveals its noble temperament and elegant brilliance: a clear and moving masterpiece.

The melody, the clever and lively genius music idea, the logical and perfect structure...especially the melody at the beginning of the first movement is so sincere, touching and intoxicating. The music fans who belong to Blue Star will have their DNA moved as soon as they hear it.

The type of...

The reason why Fan Ning considered choosing it for the concert is because this work not only has the sincere tenderness of the Romantic style, but also reflects the pure classical structural beauty in terms of composition techniques - in other words, it is very important for today's academics.

For those guys, it is a "big killer". Fan Ning predicts that even those who have no interest in his "First Symphony" will not be able to control it.

Well, after all, the box office performance and the response from the music industry will have an important impact on the ranking update of the Imperial Student Symphony Orchestra... Since I have collected the money, I have to make some substantial achievements.

"Do you accept?"

"Not only the dedication, but also the reward? Then of course I accept the invitation." Sheeran, who was on the other side of the carriage, still holding the music score, looked up at the ceiling, "Speaking of which, there are only a few days left for our grammar school graduation party.

We don't have a fully assembled symphony orchestra, so the score in its current state is just right, and it doesn't mean it will miss the official premiere..." The little girl's eyes wandered as if thinking, "Well, who will be invited to be the piano accompanist then?"

"...Mr. Coachman, go straight at the next intersection and go directly to Nelenia District." Fan Ning opened the curtain and gave an order.

"What do you want to do?" Sheeran asked.

"I'll practice with you for a while tonight and then I'll go back." His expression was as usual.

The two returned to the small villa of Professor Anton of the University of St. Lenia. Sheeran went to the boudoir to take out the violin, clamped it and began to gently rub rosin on the bow.

"Did you change the rosin today?"

Fan Ning was using nail clippers to trim her nails that had not been cut for nearly a week, then she raised her head and smelled the smell in the air.

"You have a very good nose, the solo version of the 'Andel' brand." Sheeran's hand did not stop applying, and the eyelashes on the side of his face trembled slightly.

"I know the brand, but what about the solo version?"

"The powder of the solo version has stronger adhesion than the band version, and the sound penetration is better. There is less noise when the bow is strong, especially when the bow is strong, and it is suitable for some personalized and intense processing... but the sound is better than before

The 'Coaster' brand is more sensitive and delicate, which matches the temperament of your concerto better."

"I see."

"Does it smell good?"

"Hmm." Fan Ning opened the cover of the seven-foot "Ctissibio" piano, and after doing several sets of scale and arpeggio exercises, he moved his hands to the alto and bass areas.

His right hand played repeated semi-decomposed chords, imitating the murmur at the beginning of the string section, while his left hand opened up the octave and struck back and forth on the E note and the B fifth note below, which was exactly the pizzicato strings of the cello and double bass.

Voice.

The accompaniment of less than two bars instantly brought the two people into an atmosphere where happiness and sentimentality coexisted: in the elegant and lonely sea breeze in E minor, the bass with a similar dotted rhythm was like waves crashing lonely on the coast, changing into

Gorgeous flowers scattered on the beach one after another.

Against this background, the girl moved her left hand to the second position, and her green-white ring finger gently rubbed the E string. An elegant, noble, and melancholy cantabile melody came from under her bow.

Play slowly.
