Chapter 626 No time

When the time was almost up, Lu Kaiping called again to remind Yang Jingxing. As soon as he heard that Yang Jingxing was at Li Yingzhen's place, he was overjoyed. Then he brought Miki Nakai and her two students to greet him, as well as an interpreter. I don't know what happened.

What's the point, two Japanese students put on school uniforms, they didn't look as good as Shangpu High School, and there was no waist design at all.

Miki Nakai expressed her gratitude to Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing. The translator was very professional and dedicated in a Japanese way, almost bowing to Li Yingzhen along with the students.

Nakai Miki solemnly asked Yang Jingxing to use DVD to record the class process later. Lu Kaiping generously agreed, but Nakai Miki still guaranteed through a translator that the video would only be used for students' personal study.

Li Yingzhen had no intention of going to such a small open class, but the guests were so polite, so she gave it a try and decided to go and see it together.

On the way to the audio-visual education building, the translator took the opportunity to tell Yang Jingxing that he was actually a business translator. Although he was capable of simultaneous interpretation, in terms of music and piano, his supplementary work from yesterday to now was probably useless, so Yang Jingxing needed to take care of him.

Seeing the large team on Lu Kaiping's side, those students who were still on the road looked around and quickened their pace, but "Ting Sang" and An Xin were discovered by the Japanese girl.

There is a small sign at the door of the audio-visual education building, which is made up of printed paper with colorful and fancy fonts that irritates the designer: Yang Jingxing's open piano class, student Kiyokawa Kuyoshi, second year of Tokyo National University of Music Affiliated High School; Terui Nanaka, Tokyo Women's University Affiliated Junior High School

Second grade.

Lu Kaiping is also very kind. Two five-foot grand pianos are placed in front of the podium. The configuration is higher than that in the master class. And it seems that the director is quite satisfied with the current audience size in the classroom. The piano department is basically ready.

Well, with the small team from the composition department and those from other departments watching the fun, the house was almost full with about a hundred people.

The guests and teachers sat in the front row, and Miki Nakai set up the DV.

Yang Jingxing went directly to the stage: "Let us welcome the guests from afar." He took the lead in applauding and ignored the teacher who came closer to take a close-up of him.

The Japanese students stood up and bowed in thanks, and Nanaka Terui waved and smiled. It seemed that many students came to see the guests rather than to support Yang Jingxing, especially the male students.

Yang Jingxing saved time: "Now let's ask Nanaka Terui to play for us. Welcome."

The female student stood up and went on stage, bowed to Yang Jingxing, and the translator who followed him dutifully said: "Sorry for the trouble, thank you teacher..."

Yang Jingxing asked the translator to sit down as well, and reminded him to sit back and not block the performance.

It seems that the Japanese are not far ahead. The first song Nanaka plays is the Equal Tempo. Judging from the performance, she must have undergone long-term training. In fact, this is a bit difficult for the teacher, and she does not cherish the opportunity.

When the song ended, the students, teachers, and the translator all applauded.

Yang Jingxing thought for a moment and then started talking about the advantages: "The rhythm and lines are very stable and flow naturally..."

The translator may have been stretched thin. The speed and tone of his speech were very different from those at social events, and the notebook full of terminology was useless. Fortunately, the student had not yet understood the difficult expression, and the distinctive smile seemed to be direct.

I felt praised by the teacher.

Yang Jingxing believed that students still need to improve on the balance between the various voices and the adjustment of decorative sounds. In order not to make things difficult for the translation, he still used his hands more often, standing up and repeating the student's version and demonstrating better processing methods.

, successfully made the children who came to China for the first time show a shocked expression.

The students on the stage listened attentively, and Nakai Miki in the audience kept nodding. She didn't seem to resent Yang Jingxing's gossiping about his students. Of course, both Lu Kaiping and Li Yingzhen behaved very modestly.

Yang Jingxing also expanded on the similarities and differences in techniques and requirements in different works by different composers, trying to draw the students' attention away from the guests.

The most idle person in the room was the translator. After trying hard for a long time, he found that the clients could communicate better through music, so he basically stopped and only maintained a sense of presence in places where it was easy to translate.

Terui Nanaka's learning ability is good. After receiving praise from Yang Jingxing, she played the second piece she had prepared, Chopin Nocturne. Yang Jingxing seemed to be getting more and more proficient. In addition to explaining the divergence himself, he would also ask the students to play something else. By chance, he could always

Grasp some of the students' weak points and try to solve them.

Yang Jingxing seems to be a kind teacher, so the students take the initiative to ask questions. Fortunately, most Japanese music terms are English-based, and sometimes Yang Jingxing can understand the students' meaning before the translator does.

The classroom atmosphere was very good. After one hour, Nanaka Terui played three pieces of music. After all, it was Miki Nakai who brought them. Her performance was very good and she should be among the best in Urane High School.

Although there is a language barrier, Yang Jingxing's performance has not deteriorated compared to the master class. Maybe it is because of the improvement of teaching methods. He can more specifically explore the students' strengths and weaknesses and give suggestions, which can be regarded as making full use of the more advanced teaching methods.

This little time for formalism.

Yang Jingxing announced the recess. Terui Nanaka bowed to Yang Jingxing and thanked the translator, and then bowed to the audience: "...Thank you."

Although the pronunciation of "thank you" in Mandarin is too uninitiated, it still means something, and everyone applauded and encouraged it.

Terui Nanaka also had a unique smile. She seemed shy and eager to watch the DV.

The teachers were chatting. Yang Jingxing first greeted his classmates and praised Luo Jiaqian in a vulgar way: "That's great. I accompanied my boyfriend to see a Japanese girl."

Xu Xuesi felt that he had been seen through, and he was perfunctory. Luo Jiaqian was still paying attention to the pop music scene. She asked Yang Jingxing about the video of "Looking at the Sky from a Well": "You guessed it right, the accompaniment is definitely not something ordinary people can do..."

Dai Qing's video has become somewhat viral in the past two days, and has been discussed in mini forums such as Cantabile. However, in Luo Jiaqian's opinion, this song is not strange, and it is quite creative, and the inspiration is secondary.

A junior fellow in the piano department had a question to ask for advice. Yang Jingxing just talked about some technical requirements for three parts. What about the five parts? How to play them or play them better? Not to mention others, Yang Jingxing was also shocked.

A quarter of an hour later, the second class began. Yang Jingxing welcomed Hisakichi Kiyokawa to the stage, and Nanaka Terui also adjusted the angle of the DV camera for the senior brother.

Kiyokawa Hisaki also brought the score, but he did not read it himself, but politely handed it to Yang Jingxing with both hands.

Yang Jingxing glanced at the cover and introduced to everyone: "The brothers in the composition department know that Kengo Furukawa, a famous Japanese composer, this is a piano piece he composed in 2005... What does it mean?"

The translator read and loudly said: "The meaning of the name... Oh, this is a haiku, written by the famous Japanese poet Basho. I forgot the specific translation. The grass and trees in summer are deep, the dream of the samurai... Let me explain, this

The first haiku comes from Du Fu, a famous Chinese poet from the Tang Dynasty. The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are there, the city is springy and the vegetation is deep!"

The interpreter was impassioned and everyone applauded warmly. The two Japanese women smiled and thanked, while Kiyokawa Kuyoshi sat in front of the piano.

Yang Jingxing took a few seconds to briefly look through the music score. It was a piece of more than 300 measures, and required a presto of 160 beats per minute. There was a lot of showmanship, but luckily it didn't have any militaristic overtones. Yang Jingxing signaled Kiyokawa Hisayoshi starts.

A middle-aged Japanese composer used a unique haiku as the title of a piano piece, and a Japanese student came to Urane to play it. I felt that this attitude towards learning was not very sincere. It seemed that Nakai Miki was also surprised by the student's behavior and seemed a little uneasy.

It should be said that Kiyokawa Kuyoshi is quite capable of showing off his skills, and his difficult performances in some parts should also amaze undergraduates. But probably due to cultural differences, the music is really difficult to appreciate, and most of the Puyin students here have no expressions of appreciation. , An Xin even had a sneer on her face.

Yang Jingxing was still very serious. He listened to the students' performance while turning over the music score. After spending four or five minutes listening, he still led everyone to applaud and encourage. Kiyokawa Kuyoshi also stood up and bowed.

Being stared at with concern by so many classmates and teachers, Yang Jingxing bit the bullet and said: "Please forgive me for not understanding Japan's modern music culture. I can only make a superficial analysis based on Kiyokawa Kuyoshi's interpretation and combined with music charts..." See translation.

The translator worked loudly, and Nakai Miki showed humility in the audience.

Yang Jingxing had better discuss it with his classmates first: "This piece can be divided into four parts..."

Unlike Liszt, who tried his best to show off his skills while also making it sound nice, this piece tried his best to show off his skills while trying to be as profound and complex as possible. This is truly groundbreaking. In comparison, Yang Jingxing is still a stubborn old man.

While analyzing, Yang Jingxing also thought of Akira Kurosawa's films "Ran" and "Shadow Samurai" and asked for translation. Nakai Miki seemed very happy, almost excited, and said she was willing to return to China to find an opportunity to communicate with the composer.

But Yang Jingxing was still timid after analyzing it: "Because I have no research, I dare not give guidance. I can only use my understanding and play it from my perspective. I hope you will have some new ideas and insights after listening to it." .”

Kiyokawa Kuyoshi, who turned around and faced Yang Jingxing where he was sitting, listened carefully to the translation and bowed respectfully.

Yang Jingxing stopped standing and sat down in front of another piano. The classmates were really generous and even clapped sparingly, even though the guests were much more enthusiastic.

Yang Jingxing put the score on the music stand, but did not open it. Kiyokawa Hisaki was polite and got up to help turn the score, and Yang Jingxing did not stop him.

When Yang Jingxing started, the sneer on An Xin's face was even more unrestrained than when he listened to the Japanese playing, but the other students were more serious.

Just after turning to the third page, Kiyokawa Hisaki forgot about his task. When he came to his senses, he had to turn to the fifth page.

Yang Jingxing's playing is not faster than Kiyokawa Hisayoshi, but whether it is the harmony level or textural expression, or the powerful virtuosity or minimalism, or as small as the division of strange-shaped phrases, the processing of weird legato or skipping... …It’s a completely different world than before.

It was not easy for Kiyokawa Kuyoshi. He turned the score very quickly and accurately. When he turned the last page with great effort, he was quickly greeted with as warm applause as possible from hundreds of people.

Yang Jingxing quickly stood up, without bowing to thank him, and gestured to stop the applause: "...We all eat rice. After all, I have been eating rice for several years. The opportunity is just right, let me talk about my understanding of music... Translate the second half of the sentence."

The translator did her job, and Nanaka Terui, who was only more than one meter away from Yang Jingxing, came to her senses and clapped vigorously again, but she was the only one, so the child quickly stopped in embarrassment. Yu Xinting giggled, but An Xin still sneered.

After Nakai Miki stood up and said something, the translator told Yang Jingxing: "She said I don't need to translate. She will find someone to translate the video, which can save time."

Yang Jingxing was still happy and relaxed, and asked Kiyokawa Kuyoshi, who was still standing, to sit down. Only then did the young man find the opportunity to bow deeply to the teacher.

There is no need to take care of the guests anymore. Yang Jingxing will share his experience in understanding music with his classmates, that is, when he gets a brand new piece of music, or a piece that seems to be beyond his experience, he should deal with it.

Everyone listened attentively, even the Japanese were pretending, but Yang Jingxing talked for a long time, and the main conclusion was that the ancients did not deceive me. He just did not use any new tricks when processing this piece of music: "...it never changes.

Qi Zong, remembering the teacher's teachings and practicing the teacher's teachings are enough for us to travel on and off the stage. Professor Li, Professor Feng, Professor Wei, Professor Hu, Director Lu, my flattery was captured... Watch the video in the future

For translation, please ignore these two sentences."

There was a burst of laughter, and Yu Xinting peeked at Li Yingzhen while laughing. Fortunately, the professor was in a good mood now, but Lu Kaiping frowned. He was probably worried that vulgar culture would be shameful and spread abroad. Terui Nanaka looked around anxiously, but in the end she could only be helpless.

I tried my best to watch DVDs.

Yang Jingxing asked the students to play the next piece, probably because he had learned his lesson. Kiyokawa Kuyoshi's second piece no longer showed off his skills, but returned to the traditional first movement of Beethoven's sonata "Enthusiasm".

The class also returned to routine. Yang Jingxing seemed to have stricter requirements for the male students, and his tone was not so gentle. He was straightforward and lacked patience, but it saved time and gave the students a chance to play the second movement.

When get out of class ended at 4:30, Kiyokawa Kuyoshi also bowed before and after. Although he thanked him in his native language, the masters still encouraged him.

Don't leave in a hurry, Lu Kaiping also said: "I am very happy to invite Ms. Miki Nakai as a guest today, and also let everyone communicate with outstanding Japanese students. Both students are excellent, and Yang Jingxing's teaching is also very good."

Be careful..." He paused each sentence and gave time for translation.

After Lu Kaiping finished speaking, he invited Li Yingzhen. Li Yingzhen shook her head. Lu Kaiping invited Nakai Miki again. This person was not polite.

The translator now works more easily and is not sloppy at all: "I am very happy and honored to be able to come to Puhai Conservatory of Music with my students. We visited the bustling city and the beautiful campus, and met lovely classmates.

With respectable teachers, having heard the best piano and music, and having the opportunity for students to receive instruction from the best pianists, we are sincerely grateful..."

At the teacher's signal, the two Japanese students bowed here to Yang Jingxing and Yang Jingxing's teachers.

Puyin students are very polite. In addition to applause, they cheer and let the guests go to the front.

Coming downstairs, Nakai Miki invited Lu Kaiping and Li Yingzhen to give lectures in Japan with the help of a translator. Lu Kaiping was not happy, and Li Yingzhen was also playful: "Do you want to go?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No time."

Lu Kaiping hurriedly asked for a translator: "If you say so... Just say, thank you for the invitation from Japan. If there is an opportunity, we are willing to promote piano teaching exchanges between the two schools or the two countries. However, Yang Jingxing does not have time at the moment because there are too many things.

We are very busy, but we welcome them to visit us at any time and start further cooperation.”
