Yang Jingxing’s idea is for everyone to write a piano concerto for the school anniversary: ​​“… Time is limited, and the length of the piece is only about a quarter of an hour. The first thing we have to think about is of course the effect we want to achieve, or what we want to express. Do you have any suggestions?

?”

They looked at each other, and no one suggested anything.

Qi Qingnuo gave face: "Pu Yin spirit."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you... I promised no one would listen to you for a minute."

There was a burst of laughter, but Qi Qingnuo was speechless and helpless.

Yang Jingxing wrote down his spirit on the blackboard, and then asked: "And... give me some face."

Xu Xuesi was loyal enough: "Thank you..."

Yang Jingxing supported: "Indispensable..." and wrote again.

Someone was lazy: "Heyi Zhuangcheng."

Yang Jingxing wrote the four words of the school motto separately: "Professor Gong, please tell us the meaning of these four words."

Gong Xiaoling was very considerate, so the four words became four words: harmony, perseverance, solemnity, and integrity.

Yang Jingxing said: "That's about it. I'm very superficial. I can sum it up as we Puyin people have a grateful heart and don't forget the school's education and the spiritual outlook of Yi Zhuangcheng. We warmly celebrate the 80th anniversary of our alma mater. The direction of the song

That's it...the wording is too ugly, don't mind."

Yang Jingxing sat down in front of the piano, counting on others for everything: "Give me a motive to be grateful, thank you."

After waiting for each other for a while, Peng Yiwei also said: "Grateful heart."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Okay, let's all learn internally..." He played a classic song melody, and then said: "For a change, when we want to pay tribute to a melody, there are many ways, such as simple transposition, reflection, retrograde...

…”

But the students started talking, and then many people started laughing. Maybe Yang Jingxing was too shameless to call plagiarism a tribute.

He Hongchui stood up, looked back, and immediately fell silent.

Yang Jingxing continued to explain the methods seriously and played and demonstrated: "...There are many kinds, but the effects don't seem to be very good, so we can go one step further..."

The communication class has now begun. How to think and solve problems when encountering them. Yang Jingxing explains and demonstrates at the same time. Students are also welcome to add or make suggestions. Although there are not many people who can interact, Qi Qingnuo did not take the initiative after being laughed at once.

I cooperated with my boyfriend.

After the motivation is confirmed, it begins to develop and evolve. There are many means and points for communication.

Of course, undergraduates in the composition department cannot use "inspiration" as an excuse. If you decide to write, you must be able to write it. Otherwise, what is the use of learning so many technical methods? Yang Jingxing will ask for support where his classmates can give full play, but

In order to save time, he often makes his own decisions, but will explain the principles or ideas.

Yang Jingxing also pretended to be high-end: "...Isn't this too simple, like the accompaniment of a pop song? In order to be worthy of Professor Gong's harmony courses and teaching materials, we need to be more professional. What are the methods?"

Everyone knows the theory and offers suggestions one after another...

Yang Jingxing not only flatters the teachers, but also the composers of the past and present. He does not use any technical means, he can always find examples, and there is almost no original work of his own. This is also due to the fact that Western music is a major contribution to the course.

More and more people are taking notes, more and more people are willing to communicate and interact, and Yang Jingxing is also speaking faster and faster.

In about a quarter of an hour, he was almost done with gratitude. Yang Jingxing quickly typed up the score on the computer and played it again. A little more than a minute later, the students applauded. Yang Jingxing lamented that there is strength in numbers, and continued with Yi Zhuangcheng.

He Hongchui's polyphony class went well. The students were all proficient in using it flexibly, and the big classroom became more and more lively.

Yang Jingxing asked for help again: "Here..."

The problem hasn't come out yet, there are a bunch of suggestions and reminders below, and Yang Jingxing is hard to make a choice.

After class was over at 11 o'clock, the piano score had already been written with the part of Yi. The students liked this section very much and asked Yang Jingxing to play it again, which made some people wait until they finished listening to it before going to solve their own problems.

The students also gathered around for a discussion, and Gong Xiaoling also participated, helping Yang Jingxing answer some questions that the students did not understand thoroughly in class. She also took the opportunity to educate everyone, saying that Yang Jingxing did not actually show any genius just now, but more about knowledge.

Comprehensively master, especially fully study and understand the works of various writers in various periods and styles.

After less than ten minutes of rest, most people returned to their seats and continued.

After twelve o'clock, with the collective efforts, the piano score was finally completed. Yang Jingxing played it once and received applause like a concert hall.

Yang Jingxing was quite satisfied: "Thank you. I'll see you in the afternoon. I need more help from my brothers and sisters in orchestrating."

Gong Xiaoling stood up: "I have a suggestion. It's not half past twelve now. Let's go to the cafeteria and finish lunch quickly. Let's continue at one o'clock and strike while the iron is hot, okay?"

Everyone seemed very supportive.

Although Qi Qingnuo was not active in class, she still waited for Yang Jingxing to make eye contact. Chai Litian waited for the group leader and laughed: "...They will definitely regret it." In fact, 306 still wanted to come and cheer.

Yes, but both Qi Qingnuo and Yang Jingxing felt it was inappropriate.

Qi Qingnuo curled up his lips: "I just regret it, I really shouldn't have come."

Chai Litian laughed even more brightly, saying sincerely: "So happy..."

Hundreds of people poured out of the audio-visual education building and rushed towards the cafeteria. The vastness made people look at them with suspicion. It seemed that the composition department was celebrating its school anniversary in advance.

The composition department occupied the cafeteria and made a lot of noise, for fear that others would not know how intense and profound the learning atmosphere in the department was.

Gong Xiaoling and Chai Litian sat across from Qi Qingnuo and Yang Jingxing. Gong Xiaoling suggested buying two bottles of water to take with them so that Yang Jingxing would have something to drink when he was thirsty after talking about it. We had to talk about orchestration and arrangement, and the two hours planned were probably not enough.

, we can only talk about the general structure.

After being praised by Gong Xiaoling for her love of learning, Chai Litian confessed that she actually couldn't keep up: "...I don't understand a lot of things."

Gong Xiaoling believed: "Qi Qingnuo will definitely be fine."

Yang Jingxing said: "She just came to cheer me up."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Professor, please support me, I will study."

Gong Xiaoling is modest: "We only specialize in one aspect..."

When we went back after dinner, the composition department turned into a long snake formation. The teachers walked together and conspired for a while. After arriving in the classroom, He Hongchui announced that the class would be extended. From now until 5:30, there will be a ten-minute break every hour.

The head of the department was still powerful, and there were no complaints. However, there were teachers who came to take photos to prepare for the news. Yang Jingxing was not used to it, and they had to stage the photos. Qi Qingnuo took the lead in laughing. Fortunately, it was over quickly.

After playing the results of the morning again, Yang Jingxing began to show his erudition and versatility: "If we sort through the piano concertos we are familiar with, there are many movements with similar color beginnings..."

Arranging and orchestration is a dual exercise of endurance and physical strength. Everyone has different ideas and methods. In order to ensure the efficiency of the class, Yang Jingxing had to be more arbitrary based on what he had done in the morning.

Even if there are four hours, I can only talk about the big part, mainly the orchestra, percussion and so on.

Because the students were so active, Yang Jingxing began to invite them, and he treated them equally, even inviting Chai Litian who was sitting in. Fortunately, Chai Litian had a certain understanding of the arrangement and gave some clues: "...so I think it should be thicker.

It might be better."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you, very good... Colleagues in the Composition Department, we should be a little stressed."

Chai Litian smiled sheepishly.

Encountering another point, Yang Jingxing's eyes fell on his girlfriend: "Senior Sister Qi Qingnuo?"

Qi Qingnuo's relaxed sitting posture remained unchanged, and he was serious amidst the laughter around him: "The flute and clarinet repeat in the same octave, and the two groups of violins repeat in octaves, and then switch..."

Qi Qingnuo talks eloquently and his thoughts are clear and complete, making people laugh.

Yang Jingxing nodded while listening, and then said: "Male compatriots in the department, we are going to be under pressure."

But He Hongchui looked unhappy, so Yang Jingxing did not dare to be naughty anymore, and quickly analyzed the students' suggestions first, and then implemented the actual operations, explaining while operating...

Time passed by minute by minute, and I flipped through the computer score page by page. Although the degree of completion was relatively low, the ideas were clear and the knowledge points were covered in a relatively comprehensive manner.

During the break at two o'clock, a classmate came to suggest to Yang Jingxing that if he actually made this work, it would definitely be very good. Even if there was nothing dazzling and new, at least it would be excellent in all aspects.

Wang Rui and Liu Siman sneaked into the classroom during the recess and met up with Chai Litian. They avoided Qi Qingnuo and approached Yang Jingxing. They listened to his discussion with his classmates and seemed to have picked up some clues.

Yang Jingxing spent almost two hours on the "Warm Congratulations" part of the arrangement, which was the most complicated part of the arrangement. Yang Jingxing spent almost two hours on more than two hundred measures, and basically didn't ask for help. He almost talked to himself while typing the score, what would Telemann do?

, how would Mozart handle it, what is Beethoven's tune...

After a while of opportunism, Yang Jingxing was still proud: "Look, the so-called innovation is not that difficult..."

Everyone did not laugh, but listened carefully.

At 4:30, under the tone of wishing his alma mater a better tomorrow, the music ended with the grandeur and profoundness of the orchestra. Yang Jingxing said while typing the score: "It seems to have become a double bass concerto... Okay, that's it."

Gong Xiaoling led the applause, but unfortunately it was not as enthusiastic as the piano playing.

Yang Jingxing summed it up: "I'm sorry, I didn't talk about anything new in the whole day. All kinds of methods and techniques can be learned in class or everyone knows it. But there is a saying that everything in this world

It can all be explained by permutation and combination, and I think it is especially obvious in music. For example, when I was writing a concerto, the order was not as rigid as it is today. What we did together today was just sorting out some of the knowledge that the teacher passed on to us.

It is definitely not about composition teaching... Let us applaud all the teachers in the composition department and thank them."

Hearing the warm applause, He Hongchui had a smile on his face.

Yang Jingxing added: "If you are interested in this unfinished work, you can copy it back. After all, it is the fruit of the labor of everyone in our composition department, and it can be regarded as a homework to continue to complete. If you can gain something, it will be considered as nothing today."

A waste of time... This is not a trap arranged by the teacher, really."

Everyone smiled and seemed to be tired.

Yang Jingxing thought for a while and seemed to have nothing to say: "That's it. Thank you everyone for your face. Thank you for your hard work."

The students continued to give face and applauded.

Gong Xiaoling jumped forward: "Delay everyone for a few more minutes... I want to say that today is not just an exchange class for students. As an associate professor in the composition department and as your harmony course teacher, I have also gained a lot. Everyone.
To be continued...
