Chapter 94: Fanning's Return to the Field Trifecta (4K 2-in-1)
The curtain call of the two people at the front of the stage made the already warm applause suddenly rise to several levels.
But if you look carefully, you can hear that the main component of the sudden rise in the sound is that it is mixed with a lot of shouts for the name of the girl holding the piano next to him.
These shouts coming from all directions together almost broke the roof, and there was no sign of stopping.
"This concert doesn't seem to be over yet." Fan Ning, who was bowing his head, heard the little girl next to her, covering her chest and bowing, muttering to herself in confusion.
When the bell of the symphony hall rang, Fan Ning let go of her hand and exited to the side of the stage first, with Sheeran following behind at a distance of two to three meters.
The voices in the audience were still rising and falling.
"Miss Sheeran, when is your next concert!?"
"Don't go, Miss Sheeran."
"Miss Sheeran, don't you accept flowers?"
Some gentlemen who shouted too outrageously were immediately slapped by the female companion next to them: "Are you out of your mind? The second half hasn't even started yet."
What's even more exaggerated is that in the auditorium aisle, there are already music fans holding bouquets and starting to walk forward quickly. But as they walked, they felt something was wrong, so they slowed down at first. When the two figures disappeared from the stage, they stopped completely.
Come down.
"Yes, isn't this the end of the first half?"
"What am I doing?" The people who had almost reached the steps on both sides were stunned.
"It's great, I can see her again later." Other audience members got up to rest one after another, while some were still staring at the names on the track list in trance.
Sheeran is not just a soloist this time, she will return to the position of concertmaster later. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for her skills and physical strength, but so far, music fans have not discovered this little girl.
The girl showed the slightest sign that her condition was slipping.
In the performance channel on the side of the stage.
"Carolon, that" Sheeran stopped and spoke as soon as the two of them were out of sight of the audience.
She held the piano and bow in one hand, and held the hem of her white evening dress with the other hand. She seemed to have a slightly embarrassed expression on her face: "I didn't know the audience would react to me in such a big way."
"Now you are famous." Fan Ning smiled and turned around.
After this battle, Sheeran's reputation as a "17-year-old young violinist" or "genius girl" should gradually spread throughout Theolain. In contrast to the recognition of "young musicians", she has been upgraded to a "groom."
” or the second height of “The Sower”, there should be no problem at all.
"What will happen if you become famous?" She curled her lips.
"There will be honors and courtesy that belong to artists, and your spirituality will be more conducive to promotion. Oh, by the way," Fan Ning deliberately joked, "There will also be box office, invitations, love letters and roses."
"Ah, then did I steal your limelight?"
"Otherwise, why would I dedicate it to you? A successful premiere of a new concerto should make the soloist more dazzling than the conductor."
"Thank you." The little girl's face turned red, "But I have no experience getting along with music fans. Are they too enthusiastic?"
"Just enjoy how they like you." Fan Ning said, and at the same time secretly murmured in his heart, no matter how enthusiastic he was, he wouldn't be like the president when he was young, right?
"Ah, but" Sheeran opened her eyes wide and was about to say something else. The musicians who were leaving the venue one after another opened the door and entered the aisle. She was standing too close to the door and still very close to the stage. She quickly moved to Fan Ning.
A few small steps.
"Take a rest." Fan Ning patted her gently and turned around, "You have exerted the greatest physical strength today."
It is indeed rare for a violin soloist to serve as concertmaster of other repertoires in addition to a concerto. This time it was mainly due to accidents. Fortunately, it is a student orchestra, so some special combination plans are understandable.
The twenty minutes between intermissions passed quickly. Everyone drank water, went to the bathroom, sat on the sofa, rubbed rosin, applied oil and so on, and soon the bell rang.
The second half of the program was Gilles' "Symphony No. 3 in F major". Fan Ning still led the students to perform a "ceiling-like" performance at their level. The band opened with a brilliant strong performance, and then the intensity of ff
Immediately retracting, the string section lays out the undercurrent of tremolo with mp intensity, the cello and bassoon in the presentation section elicit melancholy questions, and the entire brass section gives a solemn answer with the loud horn sound.
After the solemn and majestic conclusion of the first movement, Minister Noel from the Ministry of Culture and Media of Tioleon held his heart that was constantly heaving and exhaled happily.
He finished appreciating the enthralling Andante that followed. After the movement returned to calm, he took advantage of the band's slightly longer break and asked in a low voice, "Inspector Chief He Meng, what do you think of this year's ranking of the Imperial Student Orchestra?"
How will it change?”
"One half is enough to judge the first and second half." A feminine voice came from next to him.
"Indeed, I think after this night, it will be difficult to find people who hold different forecast views." Minister Noel nodded in approval.
"The conductors of the symphony orchestras of the three major conservatories in Santa Ramburg are just 'blade holders.'" He Meng emphasized and reminded him in a cold and fast tone.
The implication of his words is obvious: the Summer Arts Festival is a platform for young people in the empire, and a musician with a quasi-'lion-forging' level has been produced, premiering his own large-scale orchestral works in this kind of student orchestra.
It was quite easy to get started, not to mention that it took him more than a month to really improve the band's level, which was even more overwhelming.
Of course, this is what the discussion group most hopes to encounter when promoting the establishment of this investigation platform.
The bright scherzo movement sounded, and among the repeated sound patterns played by the cello with jumping bows, the flute and single brass played a light and agile theme, and the two ended their brief discussion.
"Those guys from the Bologna School have made a big mistake." He Meng's eyes glanced at the dozen or so professors from the Conservatory of Music of Santa Maria who were sitting in the first and second rows.
In order to increase box office sales, the professors did not sit in the exclusive ticket area - this is different from a concert. The most expensive tickets in a concert are naturally the ones closest to the idols, making it easier to see and interact with them, but the prime area of the concert is
About rows 6-12, these are the seats with the clearest, overall and balanced sound effects. The first 1-5 rows are second-rate.
He Meng's eyes finally stopped at the backs of Sternikai and Huxley.
These two people were included in the suspected pollution investigation list submitted by the Bologna School a few days ago, but his personal inspection last night found no obvious abnormalities.
The work enters the final chapter, where Gilles uses a very dramatic variation form, and Fanning's conductor shows a fiery passion similar to the final chapter of the "First Symphony". After the orchestra plays the powerful rapid passage introduction,
The string instruments play the fixed bass theme one by one. It is an ancient folk song material, but it has experienced true symphonic development in the variations. Each variation has a new image and more and more power.
Passion and a stronger life impulse gather in it, becoming wider and broader, and the music ends in a solemn carol.
The audience burst into thunderous applause, sweeping over the entire venue like a storm. Fan Ning led all the musicians to take a curtain call. As soon as he raised his head, he saw that ten or twenty music fans who had laid flowers had already stepped onto the aisle, sitting further back or sitting on the second floor.
People on the floor were still struggling to move out of their seats.
I don't know if it was because of the "recharging" after the first half, but the guys who shouted "bravo" the most fiercely before stopped shouting a word and rushed forward like a war. In the blink of an eye,
Stepped up the steps on both sides of the stage.
Every time Fanning received a bouquet, Sheeran would receive two or three larger and more beautiful ones.
Even so, Fan Ning's hands were still full within half a minute.
Fortunately, as the "besieged target" at the graduation concert, he accumulated some experience and quickly sent the bouquets to the principals of other string groups and the wind groups further behind. This not only divided the burden on his hands, but also promoted
Later, some fans changed their goals.
But as soon as he turned around, he found that Xilan was holding a mountain-like pile of bouquets in his arms, and the hands below could barely grasp the piano and bow, and the whole person was leaning towards him in a very embarrassed manner.
Looking at the little girl whose face was covered, Fan Ning asked with a smile: "Why did you give them to me?"
"Caron, my piano is about to fall off." Sheeran's weak pleading voice came from behind the flowers.
Fan Ning stretched out his hands, dumbfounded, grabbed two bouquets, and after bowing, threw them off the stage, triggering a burst of cheers that broke the ceiling, and several fans who got the hands screamed with excitement.
Other audience members also burst into hearty and joyful laughter.
The flowers were obviously brought up from the audience. After staying on Xilan's body for a while, and then being directed to change the flowers, it seemed that the meaning was different.
Fan Ning repeated his old trick, secretly using invisible power, first throwing a few bouquets of flowers further back, and then focused on taking care of the music fans on the second floor in other directions.
"This conductor, sir, is so strong." A lady in the front row looked up to the sky and stretched out her hands, waiting for food. She was dumbfounded when she saw the bouquet flying straight back from high in the sky.
After several rescue attempts, Fan Ning exited the stage from the acting aisle. At this time, the enthusiastic and chaotic applause from the outside world gradually became unified.
"Encore! Encore! Encore!" The calls for an encore came one after another.
Fan Ning walked quickly back to his green room, took a hurried drink of water, straightened his appearance a little, regained his elegant smile, and walked out.
"Wow!" cheers rang out, and the applause became messy again, but when Fan Ning stepped onto the podium and raised his right hand, and all the musicians took their seats, the symphony hall immediately became quiet, with only a few sporadic coughs left.
Fan Ning gently pressed down his left hand to indicate slow and subtle emotions. His right hand was ready to clap. The violin gently played the tremolo of A major with a broken bow, as if the earth was awakening, the clouds were lifted, the sun was visible, and the water was rippling. Against this background, the French horn
A series of lively and light horn sounds are blown, coupled with the echoes of wooden pipes, showing a bright and shining morning scene.
It is the most famous waltz work of Johann Strauss Jr. in his previous life, "The Blue Danube" known as "Austria's second national anthem"! (314)
Now Fan Ning's inspiration is enough to recall the orchestral works he heard in his previous life, but it is limited to music of short length and light content. The music of Strauss and Sons is very suitable. It is not only pleasant and beautiful, but also does not require rehearsal to produce 80% or 90% of the effect.
Too much effort.
After the prelude, there are five groups of small waltzes played in succession. Each group contains two contrasting materials. The first group's iconic lyrical melody sounds, with a relaxed and clear rhythm and echoing stop-step dance steps, which immediately attracts music fans.
I pictured in my mind a scene of people dancing around a beautiful river.
"Another original orchestral piece? The flavor of Janus from the Western Continent is too pure!" Master Svelink's eyes widened.
"Even the encore has such a surprise!? This Mr. Fanning is so sincere," Minister Noel also praised endlessly.
Whether they were professional music critics or ordinary listeners, they just felt that their pores were opening, and most of them even couldn't help but start shaking in their seats.
The themes of the five waltzes are sometimes noble and elegant, sometimes passionate and unrestrained, sometimes soft and tender.
The exquisite melody and rich harmonies continued to stimulate the audience's nerves. When the music ended in a stormy carnival atmosphere, they raised their hands above their heads and clapped wildly to express their love for this encore.
Fan Ning bowed again and this time, before he left the stage, neat applause appeared.
"Encore!" "Encore!"
He had no choice but to symbolically crawl into the cast and crew tunnel, and after standing there for a few seconds, he returned to the podium again.
A humorous expression appeared on his face, and his left and right hands simultaneously dropped a preparatory beat. The band played hard, and then jumped into a descending melody and the thunder of timpani.
Johann Strauss the Younger's most famous polka work, "Lightning and Thunder Polka". (324)
On the endlessly swaying two-beat rhythm, the fast and light strings are paired with the roar of the big drum, timpani and cymbals, vividly depicting the joyful scene of people dancing drunkenly and singing wildly in the wind, rain and thunder to celebrate the harvest.
.
In three minutes, the frequent "lightning and thunder" motive pushed the music to a white-hot climax, and another fiery and crisp strong performance ended. The music fans who seemed to have been waiting impatiently immediately applauded and applauded.
"It's a new work, it's a new work!" The audience in the audience began to speak excitedly and incoherently.
"An astonishing violin concerto, two waltzes and polkas with extremely pure style and classic quality. Is this what I can hear at a student orchestra concert for 6 pounds?" There are two people.
Audience members seated at the back asked each other questions.
"Who knew there would be so many new works coming out tonight?" The original inspection team was completely stunned. "The quality of each song can definitely become a classic. How much artistic inspiration does it hide?"
Some fans even secretly sneered at their friends: "Those idiots actually thought the tickets were expensive before? A divine premiere, beautiful Ms. Sheeran, and two new encore songs of the same high quality.
How many times have the band had such a pleasant listening experience? When the news comes out, those guys will probably regret it and beat their chests!"
Fan Ning took three curtain calls and left the stage waving.
"Encore! Mr. Fanning, one more song!" The occasion after the formal performance always makes people feel more relaxed. Several audience members on the first floor began to raise their hands like trumpets and shout from the air.
"What are you thinking? Two original songs in a row have returned. In the past, composers would treat them as treasures and hold another concert to collect money!" Although the companion next to him was clapping non-stop, he felt that
It can't happen again.
"I really don't want to finish it, I can just play a piece I've already composed." The person in front of me hurriedly replied, and then continued to shout: "Mr. Conductor, please play another piece, and I'll wait for the next person to buy ten records!"
"Miss Sheeran! I want to see Miss Sheeran play the piano!"
"Encore! Encore!"
There were also sounds on the second floor, and someone even whistled.
"Wow!
!" Cheers surged into the sky again, and Fan Ning returned to the podium for the third time.
As if he had read the fans' thoughts, he did not face the symphony orchestra, but faced the audience, with a mysterious smile on his face, as if he was asking others to guess what the song was.
"Do you think there is any more?" Marchioness MacAdam asked her husband.
"It's not a new piece." The president shook his head repeatedly, "There are already two pieces. What's more, this is a three-piece encore premiere in one night. Plus the violin concerto, it will be four pieces. I'm afraid Santalan will perform it tomorrow.
The hearts of the music critics could not bear it”
"No, absolutely not." The two masters of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts sitting next to each other shook their heads decisively.
After smiling at the audience for about ten seconds, Fan Ning finally turned his head and motioned for the band to take their seats.
He gave a light and encouraging gesture to the percussionists in the back.
Then the big snare drum and the snare drum struck a high-spirited prelude, and then the band played a majestic, mighty, passionate and confident melody.
In previous lives, the repertoire of the Vienna New Year's Concert every year, Johann Strauss Sr.'s "Radetzky March" (228) sounded in the symphony hall!
