As the saying goes, experts can tell if something is wrong as soon as they make a move, and experts can only watch the show while laymen can only watch the excitement. Now, the Artist Rehearsal Room No. 3 of Puyin Rehearsal Center is full of experts.

Today, Yang Jingxing's performance is completely different from the mechanical patchwork of notes when he was still in Shangpu High School, nor the precise melody and chord expressions like when he cooperated with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

Li Yingzhen knew that Yang Jingxing's real change came after the completion of "Sonata in C sharp minor", but before that Yang Jingxing was just making continuous progress.

After experiencing a mature and successful creation, Yang Jingxing did not continue to show progress that was difficult to adapt to, but began to change. Although the change was very subtle, for Li Yingzhen or Yu Xinting's hearing, the feeling it brought was very

big.

Li Yingzhen also gave considerable recognition and encouragement to this change. Li Yingzhen attributed Yang Jingxing's change to his study and practice of composition, so he went from supporting to supervising Yang Jingxing's creations.

When Yang Jingxing's reputation as a genius first spread, his playing attracted everyone's attention. At that time, when he played Mozart, he had the charm of Paul Badura, and when he played Beethoven, he had the charm of Kempf and Gigli.

It combines the advantages of Ernst and Ernst, and when playing Chopin, people will hear Rubinstein's style and skills from time to time...

Although these "imitations" of Yang Jingxing are relatively obvious, this does not prevent him from earning the reputation of a "genius". As long as you are capable enough and can imitate Horowitz well, you will definitely be a well-deserved new generation of piano king.

Pathetique, Beethoven's early work No. 13, Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, is far from as profound as the composer's later works and is incomprehensible. The difficulty of the work is not so scary, and it has a relatively strong sense of drama and melodic beauty.

, so it has been played by many people. When an expert hears "Pathétique", he can compare many versions in his mind, especially the first movement and the third movement.

In the first few bars, Yang Jingxing is eye-opening. The main melody seems to be jumping, the syncopation is not particularly obvious, and the rhythm changes are simply deviant...

If it were an ordinary audience, they would think that they heard another good third movement of the Pathetique, nothing much different. However, there are dozens of experts, and those who are not familiar with Yang Jingxing opened their eyes wide, as if they wanted to confirm.

Is the person sitting in front of the piano the genius Yang Jingxing? Only Li Yingzhen is calm and relaxed.

In measures 23 and 24, almost all piano teachers will emphasize the need for lightness and continuity here, but Li Yingzhen seems to have neglected her duty to Yang Jingxing, who does not play so lightly. However, Yang Jingxing’s uncharacteristically heavy sense here cannot be ignored.

People say he is uneducated and incompetent, because it feels so coherent and seamless.

In the 130th section, Yang Jingxing became more dexterous again, at least much gentler than the vigorous and majestic style he showed before.

…

Fortunately, teachers and classmates are no longer nervous and worried. Yang Jingxing gave a lot of fresh interpretations and expressions, but he was not abrupt or inappropriate. He was playing. His expression was focused and his emotions were unified throughout.

When a movement ended, everyone was quiet, no one applauded, and all eyes were looking at Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing did not rest, but said to his colleagues: "Brahms Caprice."

There was some applause, but it stopped quickly because Yang Jingxing started, still so focused.

After Brahms finished, under the leadership of several professors, everyone made up for the applause they owed Beethoven.

At the beginning, many people may not understand why a genius would choose a song that inevitably seems ordinary.

If the value of historical time is put aside, this Brahms' Caprice can indeed be said to be average. At least I imagine that geniuses are not very fond of this kind of works.

But after Yang Jingxing finished playing, many people understood that this birdman was here to show off. Yang Jingxing was almost robbing him. Through his playing and arranging skills, he took all the credit for Brahms' creation into his own hands, and

And he did it so decently and with great results.

Perhaps because Brahms's historical status is not as good as that of Beethoven, Yang Jingxing did much more tricks in this Caprice than in the Pathétique. Not only the rhythm and priorities, he even dared to tamper with the chord melody!

As a performer, it was very risky for Yang Jingxing to do this. Regardless of whether his genius has been recognized or not, to most people, Yang Jingxing definitely does not have the boundless radiance radiated by a master like Horowitz.

Without that dazzling light, don't expect the audience to let you do whatever you want.

Horowitz can modify the work according to his understanding and make the work reach the artistic perfection in his mind. This is because he is a super master who has not appeared in hundreds of years, and he does a good job. The audience not only accepts it but also

I like it very much and admire it very much.

But who is Yang Jingxing? He must have been carried away by the boasts of those professors who like to put gold on their faces, so he dared to do such nonsense.

Therefore, although the applause was louder than before, the audience was not so excited and sincere. It was more like everyone was trying to keep in line with the professors, just like the subordinates were giving encouragement to the leaders who had talked a lot of nonsense on the stage.

As for what Yang Jingxing did, most people dare not make any hasty conclusions.

Yu Xinting was so loyal that she dared to give Yang Jingxing a big face in front of everyone, and she slapped him happily.

Yang Jingxing smiled at Yu Xinting and then looked at the audience: "I think the greatest joy in communication is sharing. I am very happy to share with you the fun I got from learning piano here. Please forgive me if I don't do it well. Next is

The third movement of Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 7 in B major.”

This work is considered to be the most remarkable work among the composer's sonatas, especially the third movement. The distinctive style reflects the fierce cruelty of war and the impact of war on people.

Because the style of this work is so distinct, different performers will interpret it very differently, and even lay listeners can clearly feel it. Of course, the praise and criticism of various playing styles are also very different. Some

Some people think that faster is better, some people think that being more steady is more appropriate...

How will Yang Jingxing perform? Everyone cheered up and waited to see.

Many performers will raise their hands higher when playing this piece of music, so that they can better express the indispensable "percussive feeling" and reflect the rhythm that goes far beyond the melody.

But if the hand is raised too high, the speed will be affected, making it difficult to get the best of both worlds.

Yang Jingxing always has the same demeanor when he plays any piece of music, focused but not crazy, calm but not undisciplined. The same goes for this piece, with his hands not raised at all.

But many listeners who were not satisfied before are now finally having their eyes lit up and their mouths are dumbfounded, because they can finally see the real thing.

Yang Jingxing's playing was so powerful, every time it hit like a heavy hammer, it seemed that his fingers only needed a little space to explode with the full strength of others. And his speed was very fast, so fast that everyone felt

The war broke out suddenly and violently, shocking people's souls.

The powerful incitement catalyzed by strength and speed is as fast and fierce as the rhythm of the music, and it is decisive and long-lasting without any sloppiness. It can simply make people suffocate.

Not to mention the so-called emotional musicality, Yang Jingxing's power and speed are really astonishing, and the rhythm is even more steady and precise.

It was a pure show of skill, and Yang Jingxing finished playing it in two and a half minutes. But the entire rehearsal room had not yet come out of the war. It seemed that their souls and bodies were still numb from the shock wave of the shells, and they could not applaud at all.

The first person to applaud was Chen Yu. It seemed that she was the only one who did not need to be so shocked. The applause was still polite. Other students also responded one after another. Some of them were surprised or satisfied. It seemed that they came here in vain. But the professors were not so enthusiastic.

, probably don’t encourage the promotion of this kind of virtuosic spirit in music conservatories.

Yang Jingxing spoke: "Playing this, what I want to share is that everyone has their own advantages. For example, I am very strong. It sounds completely irrelevant to the music, but there are times when it comes in handy. If I am weak, I

It plays like this..."

Yang Jingxing demonstrated two measures with his bare hands and boasted: "I think this is pretty good."

Although Yang Jingxing's theory was almost nonsense to these experts, most of them still laughed a bit. Yu Xinting covered her mouth and giggled. Li Yingzhen didn't seem to be dissatisfied because her painstaking arrangements were misinterpreted by Yang Jingxing.

Just after the battle, Yang Jingxing came up with another big surprise: "Chopin's Nocturne in C minor."

Even when playing such an emotional piece, Yang Jingxing did not show an intoxicated expression. On the contrary, the audience began to become intoxicated, probably because Yang Jingxing did not use too many colors to challenge the audience's acceptance when he played, nor did he try to

Misinterpret Chopin's writing intention.

When he should be gentle, Yang Jingxing is calm, and when he should be resolute and heroic, he shows enough majesty. Every note is delicate and neat, fully expressing the dramatic power of the music.

They are all polite artists, and everyone gave them warm applause. Yang Jingxing worked hard without any credit, and he didn't charge admission.

After the applause slowly disappeared, the host stepped forward at Li Yingzhen's reminder and said with the emotion of a happy audience: "It's very exciting, beyond imagination. I believe Yang Jingxing's rich playing style has inspired everyone a lot. So first

The stage performance ends here. If you have any questions, you can ask Yang Jingxing, please..."

After watching and waiting for a while, no one seemed to have a problem.

The host encouraged me: "It doesn't matter. It's any question, as long as it's related to music, including composition."

A girl sitting in the back gave her stool to the person next to her, stood up and raised her hand slightly: "Yang Jingxing, between playing and composing, which one do you prefer?"

Yang Jingxing said: "To me, this comparison is a bit similar to Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong. I like them both, but they are different... I feel like family affection for the performance. I may not spend so much time now, but

It is also very important, it makes me feel solid and happy. Writing something by myself is probably like love, full of surprises and passion... I want to have happy family relationships and wonderful love."

Yang Jingxing's rather sincere answer made people laugh, but the girl asked again: "Then which one do you think is more important, family affection or love?"

Amidst the roar of laughter, Li Yingzhen burst into laughter.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "If I can't play, I don't think I can write anything. If I have to choose, I am willing to keep playing."

The students and teachers of the piano department applauded Yang Jingxing, and the host tried his best not to be silent: "Yang Jingxing said it very well. If you have any questions, please continue to ask."

A boy stood up halfway: "May I ask Yang Jingxing, how do you integrate your insights into life into your performance or creation?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I am very vulgar. When I play the piano or write songs, I will think about some of the people I know in life and some of the things I have experienced. I don't know if it is called enlightenment and integration."

Another boy followed closely: "Yang Jingxing, what level do you think your performance has reached? Is it the best in the world as some people say? Can you make an objective evaluation yourself?"

This questioner attracted a lot of attention, and Li Yingzhen even looked back.

Yang Jingxing said: "Although I think music is not an objective thing, and it is impossible and should not be compared quantitatively, I am sure that I am not the best, and Puyinli does not dare to be the best. If you have to evaluate, I am indeed stronger."

Everyone is happy. Chen Yu, who had his legs crossed before, lowered his legs and laughed.

The questioner didn't smile and asked again: "Then what do you think of the comments about you around you?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Can you evaluate me first?"

The questioner looked away and stopped talking. The host quickly smoothed things over: "Please try to ask some relevant questions. Today's opportunity is hard-won. Thank you."

A girl asked me: "Yang Jingxing, what do you think music has given you the most? What attitude do you adopt towards music, or in other words, playing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Music gives me happiness, I like music."

Some people applauded, and Yang Jingxing himself clapped shamelessly: "This kind of vanity counts."

Amidst the laughter, another girl expressed her admiration: "Yang Jingxing, they say that literature is like a person, and so is music. Is your music the same as your person?"

Yang Jingxing thought for a moment and nodded: "They are all superficial."

This was so funny that everyone was so excited, but Li Yingzhen put a straight face and shouted a lesson: "Yang Jingxing, be more respectful of other people's problems!"

The room suddenly became quiet, and Yang Jingxing had to be more serious: "I say superficial because I feel that I haven't done enough. I believe many people are like me. Let's work hard together."
