Chapter two hundred and sixty-two saints forget their feelings
As the oldest symphony orchestra in Asia, the predecessor of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra can even be traced back to the Shanghai Public Band founded in 1879. It had the reputation of "the first orchestra in the Far East" as early as three centuries ago. It is a pity that it has entered the Second World War.
After the 11th century, Shanghai Jiaotong University failed to withstand those who were trying to catch up, and its ranking once fell to the second echelon in the country.
…
"One of the symphony orchestras with the longest history in Asia, and its ancestors have also been generous."
As early as 2003, the professional classical music journal "Gramophone" conducted a complete tour of more than a thousand professional symphony orchestras around the world. At that time, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra was indeed as bleak as the title quote.
The evaluation of more than 800 words in total can be summarized concisely and concisely that HSO has fallen into the dust, and the phoenix with its feathers is worse than a chicken. As mentioned in the Shanghai Jiao Tong column, it is even more embarrassing to compare with other bands born in the same era.

There is a saying that "you should be polite after hearing it, know your shame and then be brave." After learning from the painful experience, Shanghai Jiaotong University appointed Mei Ciyi as the artistic director of the orchestra, and began its drastic reform, based on the six-character mantra (bringing in, going out), and painstakingly
After ten years of hard work, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra has finally returned to its path of glory.
The introduction of top conductors and foreign wind musicians has brought about an improvement in the hard power of the whole group, which has not only greatly increased the total ticket revenue of HSO's performance season, but also combined with Mei Ciyi's advantage of extensive contacts in Europe, HSO's overseas strategy has also been a great success.
, after performing on the stage in classical music holy places such as the Vienna Golden Hall, the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, and the Royal Albert Hall, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra became the first domestic orchestra to be invited to hold a special performance at the Carnegie Hall in New York.
Orchestra of New Year's Concert.
The classical music industry has always been good at ranking based on seniority. The SSE, which was once ridiculed as "the ancestors were too generous", is no longer the same as it used to be. Whether it is hard power, ticket revenue, budget, or international reputation, anyone who comes to the company must say that hso is stable.
Ranked among the top three in the country, however, these achievements did not make Mei Ciyi feel arrogant. Based in Shanghai and making a name for himself around the world, he had greater ambitions for his own orchestra.
…
"The affirmation given by Teacher Yan Qing to everyone took into account that the rehearsal time was only about ten days, so there was a prerequisite hidden. I translated it as unsatisfactory and excusable. I hope you will not be complacent. You must know that our goal of Shanghai Jiao Tong is always
It’s the sea of stars!”
…
The first time he heard Director Mei raise his arms and shout this slogan, Yan Qing was very surprised, but he couldn't stand the indoctrination over and over again. The more he listened to it, the more he gradually became immune like most Shanghai Symposium musicians.
He slightly raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall to confirm that the time was past twelve and a quarter, and then glanced at Zhang Yameng, who was standing in the front row of the auditorium with his head lowered and holding his mobile phone while sending messages.
The eyebrows tightened quietly.
…
"The saint forgets love, the worst thing is love. The love is the most beloved. In our generation, the love of life and death is always a heart-stirring story. It does not have to be between you and me, tender and affectionate; it does not have to be about respecting each other as a guest, and nurturing each other; it can also be
It’s just about understanding and agreeing with each other and fighting for a certain goal... In short, the fireworks the teachers created with "Butterfly Lovers" today were far beyond my imagination. Yan Qing burst into tears and couldn't help herself. Or should we have been here first?"
…
The above are the original words that were interpreted as "unsatisfactory". Before the show ended at noon on Wednesday, Yan Qing was forced to stand on the podium to comment. To be honest, the semi-closed rehearsals during this period were very effective, and Mei Ciyi can be regarded as world-class.
Under the direction of his conductor, the "Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto" that made up for the inherent shortcomings of the composition and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra produced a good chemical reaction. At least the listening experience exceeded the highlight scenes of Butterfly Lovers in his "previous life" impression.
Therefore, Yan Qing's self-perception was quite fair. It not only carried a beautiful sedan chair, but also reflected his own growing cultivation of traditional Chinese culture. It even had a vague connotation of a certain conductor's unscrupulous behavior.
Unfortunately, Mei Ciyi was completely unmoved.
…
"Brother Qing doesn't mean that. Besides, the stars and seas of classical music are far away on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr. Mei has started again. Our group should first consider how to punch nhk and kick ynso. It's more realistic..."
…
nhk, ynso from the country of Fusang is the well-deserved leader among the symphony orchestras in Asia. Of course, only Yuan Yuyue dares to sing such a counter-argument, and he still has to wait for Mei Ciyi, who has poured cold water on him, to go to the bottom of the stage.
She spoke secretly during point-to-point communication with the chiefs of each voice department on some details that needed to be improved. After all, it was rare that Yan Qing didn't point out the problem of her not being in the right mood today. Naturally, Miss Yuan San had to reciprocate in secret.
"yomiuri nippon symphony orchestra? Yomiuri Shimbun Symphony Orchestra, the top performance of "Previous Life" Butterfly Lovers was the collaboration between Master Lu Siqing and ynso. Putting aside the gap in soloists, Shanghai Jiao Tong on the other side of the competition really did it.
It’s a perfect victory over Dujiao, but I can’t say this to anyone, so I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it. Please, it’s a quarter past twelve, so it’s time to get out of class, Mr. Mei…”
Although Yuan Yuyue's grunt was very small, it was still keenly captured by Yan Qing. However, because he was only ordered by Professor Weng in the morning, and in addition, recently, this girl, like other Shanghai girls, has obviously restrained all kinds of comments on him.
Close to the action, a certain disciple who only wants to sneak back to the secret garden as soon as possible is really unwilling to break this rare balance.
Unfortunately, the autumn water was about to see through. Mei Ciyi, who was already hunched over from exhaustion, had no intention of announcing the end of the performance. He had just let go of the woodwind part, the bassoon and the flute, and beckoned over with his increasingly hoarse voice.
The principals of the brass section, including the horns, trombones, and trumpets, reviewed and sorted out the key phrases section by section according to the score, from the most basic counting of beats to avoid technical errors, to the specific deconstruction of the floating harmony system.
The vertical and horizontal coordination between the voices can even be extended to some concepts such as tonal collapse, microtonalization, etc. that Yan Qing never considered when arranging the music. Time just ticked by quietly.
…
"I hope that when people mention the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in the future, they will no longer use the phrase "Gramophone" to describe us. The leading symphony orchestra in the East, or the world premiere orchestra of the "Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto", recorded on Saturday
The premiere is of great significance to Shanghai Communications. You must know that even if the Golden Hall is full, it can only accommodate 2,044 spectators. And the premiere of "Butterfly Lovers" will be pushed to the world through two major streaming media platforms. If the effect is just unsatisfactory, it will not be satisfactory at all.
I don’t deserve this rare opportunity.”
…
He was worried about Weng Huaijing in another building, but he didn't have the shame to put oil on his feet. In his embarrassment, the words Mei Ciyi said in a private exchange suddenly came back to his mind, and Yan Qing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
, Yuan Yuyue secretly glanced behind her, looking at her nose and heart. Her eyes lingered on the violin in the girl's arms for a moment, and she narrowly avoided making eye contact before she was startled.
"The contours of the piano body are proportional, the upper part is narrow and compact, the lower part is wider, the excessive curvature in the middle is slightly deeper, the overall line looks very beautiful, the piano board is wide, the middle thick side board is thin, the curvature gradually expands and sinks around,
So the vibration is excellent. This is a rare high-quality imitation Gussian-style piano. Why is it called Lina? It’s not a mistake. The other key is that her problem is not technical. I can’t help. I have done everything I need to do.
After doing it, Mr. Mei probably knows something, so he plans to start elsewhere..."
I know very well in my heart that after the collective improvement in musical notation proficiency, the biggest shortcoming actually falls on the solo players who have maintained a very high level from the beginning. Yan Qing has actually mentioned it several times, either explicitly or implicitly, and the main problem is
This is reflected in Yuan Yuyue’s cadenza solo in the first movement and several of her exchanges with the principal cello.
These passages are clearly describing the scenes of Liang Zhu's classmates for three years, and the love sprouted, but for some reason Yuan Yuyue always had an indescribable sadness on her body after sleeping on Lina's pillow. Such emotions were like a double-edged sword, making her
In the subsequent movements, the poignancy of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who fell in love but died for their love, was deeply interpreted, but it also resulted in a lack of sweetness and a little more pathos in foreshadowing the preceding plot.
Yan Qing, who has an absolute sense of sound, actually noticed the signs as early as last week. At that time, he thought that it might just be caused by misunderstanding and technical style, so he brushed off the problem. On the contrary, Mei Ciyi's attitude was a little strange, and he actively gave insinuations.
As the main creator, he communicates more with Yuan Yuyue.
After returning from a weekend of tracing the origins of Shaoxing Opera, the condition of the Shanghai Musicians, who had thoroughly understood the core of the story of Butterfly Lovers, improved significantly. Under Mei Ciyi's careful planning, the results of the joint practice were getting closer to the rehearsal level. But what was embarrassing was the performance in the first movement.
The flaws have not been resolved. Yan Qing has tried to mention them in the summary meeting, and also tried to use piano accompaniment to stimulate Yuan Yuyue's emotions. He even communicated with Mr. Mei privately during the morning break, but he did not dare to continue.
The conductor, who was a messy mandarin duck, didn't answer. He just patted a certain scumbag on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed softly.
"Everyone has their own ideas. It's so complicated. I don't know what bloody plot Mr. Mei has concocted. If you want to achieve better results, you have to help Yuan Yuan. To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. It stands to reason.
She said I should come forward, but...ah!"
Just when Yan Qing was about to say something to Yuan Yuyue but hesitated, the back door on the side of the small concert hall away from the stage quietly opened and closed. Only he and Zhang Yameng in the audience noticed it immediately. It turned out to be
A certain female professor named Weng, who had been waiting for her lover for a long time, came over.
Holding a folder in his arms, Weng Huaijing walked straight to the first row of the audience with his head held high, and stood upright in front of Zhang Yameng. It was obvious that the two had communicated before, and without saying a word, he handed the manuscript in his hand to Lao Zhang.
, with her arms folded across her chest, her gaze quickly passed over Yan Qing beside the podium, and landed directly on the violin that Yuan Yuyue had not had time to hide behind her.
The moment their eyes met, Yan Qing, whose center of gravity shifted slightly, looked at Chen Qingbai with bright eyes: "I didn't interact with Zhu Yingtai..."
Weng Huaijing, who seemed to be looking intently, but was actually measuring the distance, slightly pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows: "Oh~"
There was someone else who was panicking. A certain hot potato fell from Yuan Yuyue's hand and fell to the floor: "The protruding bridge and horse landed on the ground, letting out a mournful cry that was neither light nor heavy..."
"Franco, you and Lao Jin should be more responsible for the strings. Okay, everyone, the road is long and long. There is no need to search up and down. "Butterfly Lovers" is the best sail for us to go to the sea of stars. Now we can
The last bit is missing, Xiaoyue, Yan..."
After spending nearly half an hour, Mei Ciyi finally completed his communication with more than a dozen orchestra principals and acting principals one by one. After completing the explanation, he and Jin Jiasheng, the principal violinist of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, moved from the double bass seating area back to the podium, waiting for their eyes.
After following the sound and touching the violin on the wooden floor and Yuan Yuyue, who was blushing and at a loss, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Qing, who was still in Bengbu state, and then discovered Weng Huaijing standing in the audience.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally delayed the whole party. It's already half past twelve. I'll be here first in the morning. Let's go eat quickly..."
After all, it was Lao Jianghu. When Mei Ciyi saw the tense atmosphere, he uttered a haha and winked secretly at Jin Jiasheng, the concertmaster who was second only to the conductor in the orchestra. At the same time, he naturally changed the topic and ignored the piano that fell on the ground.
, instead, he was full of smiles and walked towards Weng Huaijing with his hands raised: "Professor Weng is here? I heard from Yan Qing that you won't be free until tomorrow afternoon."
"..."
Dan bit his lips until they turned white without uttering a sound. Weng Huaijing could not confess that he was eager to protect food, so he could only maintain the cold disguise.
"Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Mei, Sister Jing came down to see me if she had something else to do..."
At the critical moment, Zhang Yameng, who had lied about some military information to cause the accident, still managed to maintain her composure, quickly stabilized her emotions, and took the responsibility.
Another party involved in the scandal showed up, and just now a famous piano worth thousands of gold fell to the ground to add to the fun. The musicians, whose souls of gossip were waiting to be burned, were willing to leave. Behind their backs, all the musicians raised their ears high.
Slowly, he used the excuse of packing up his instruments to drag him away and refused to leave. Thanks to Jin Jia Sheng's prestige as the first violinist in Shanghai Jiao Tong University for many years, he put on a fierce black face and reluctantly left.
