Chapter 961 Prestige(2/2)
The development process of classical sonatas is a big topic that can only be touched upon, but he still encouraged Smecta: "If you are willing to invest more time in studying Scarlatti's works, I believe you will not be disappointed.
It will be very rewarding.”
Yang Jingxing still has two brushes, and Puyin's people are much more relaxed.
A girl who may have some Latin origin came again: "Hello Yang Jingxing, my name is Sylvie, I major in piano, because of my personal interests, I want to ask you, what do you think of Akinyuba's piano art?"
Opinion? Thank you.”
"I want to say that other people's opinions are not important." Yang Jingxing came again, but still took two minutes to answer, fully demonstrating that he had no discrimination against African piano art, and that he understood it very well, and demonstrated a short paragraph.
Let people who don’t understand feel it.
The compatriots cheered, but they also asked questions in English. Since they played violin, they asked about piano questions in sonatas. Yang Jingxing was very considerate and used the blackboard, writing and drawing quickly while explaining, and then demonstrating, but in the end
I jokingly told the violin players not to be too egotistical, and the piano students were very pleased and even grateful.
The first person to argue with Yang Jingxing was the seventh questioner. The two had different understandings of François Couperin's harpsichord suite. This Italian, who looked polite and wore glasses, was full of confidence.
, I want to tell Yang Jingxing about the social environment of China at that time...
In order to save time, Yang Jingxing quickly drew a few lines of music on the blackboard, explained the internal connections among them to the questioner, connected the author's artistic development trajectory, and pointed out the other party's misunderstanding of the so-called influence of the times.
After a teacher confirmed that what Yang Jingxing listed was true, the questioner did not feel ashamed and thanked Yang Jingxing for his answer.
Yang Jingxing was completely at ease. After listening for more than half an hour, Lu Kaiping even crossed his legs. The audience also got into the mood, and some of them even took notes because of excessive capitalism.
For the tenth question, a doctoral student from the composition department came on stage, but the question was about the keyboard, about the aesthetics of Ligeti’s piano etudes.
Yang Jingxing took all the steps and spent a little more time to put forward many difficult points in more than a dozen etudes one by one. He not only explained but also demonstrated, and he took it seriously.
It took an estimated twenty minutes, and Yang Jingxing demonstrated and explained more than thirty points. He was just talking to himself, regardless of what the audience was doing. The audience was very quiet, regardless of whether he was a piano player, a student, or a teacher.
Yes, very attentive.
Although Yu Xinting dropped out of school, she still listened very carefully, probably to antagonize Yang Jingxing, who would not allow her to practice these etudes before.
Although he was teaching sincerely, he still let Yang Jingxing show off, so he really got applause this time. It was like a concert, everyone was clapping, and Lu Kaiping was too embarrassed to help the students anymore.
Being humble, Li Yingzhen had no choice but to hesitate.
The only bad thing was Ligeti. Unexpectedly, he had a very high status among the Yankees, and he had just passed away less than two years ago. Perhaps to show respect, the tenth question came next: "Thank you... we
We have all seen that Mr. Yang Jingxing is an outstanding performer, and you have a very in-depth study of rhythm... But on the other hand, as a composer, do you think Ligeti's return to mode is inevitable?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I think for him personally, this is the greatest possibility, so as we can see."
Professor Tongsha, who had just clapped his hands enthusiastically, spoke a little provocatively: "Why did you say that?" This voice took many eyes away from Yang Jingxing, but Mr. Tongsha was not proud at all and continued to be serious and even cold.
Look.
Yang Jingxing smiled: "This will be a master's thesis."
Professor Tongsha was very good: "Try...I have talked with Ligeti several times!"
Yemima is also hopeless. Her piano lecture was disrupted by the composition department, and she didn't even let out a fart.
Yang Jingxing was under the eaves. He had no choice but to give it a try, which was the beginning of chaos.
Although he only died a few years ago, Ligeti is undoubtedly a great composer. Yang Jingxing can only briefly summarize Ligeti’s exploration of mode and harmony starting from his early creations, and give a few examples. When he said:
When it came to the characteristics of pitch structure, the young teacher who was a little flattering to Yang Jingxing the day before yesterday stood up again and started to express his anger. He felt that Yang Jingxing was wrong...
There was no one to help, no one to organize, and no one to maintain discipline. Regarding Ligeti's trivial matter, Yang Jingxing had a scuffle with the teachers and students of Juilliard's Composition Department for more than half an hour. He explained the personalized materials with great care.
We have to talk about macro control again, we have to talk about harmonic language but also polyphonic structure, we have to talk about material relations but also about organizational characteristics, we have to talk about regression but also integration and innovation...
One question turned into dozens of questions, and the teachers of the composition department and the PhD and masters were in a constant battle. The undergraduate students could only sit there in a daze, completely confused.
However, although Professor Tongsha didn't look good, he was probably not bad at heart. The three times he took action were not to make things difficult for Yang Jingxing, but to help him connect the past and the next, and even served as a reminder.
In more than half an hour, Yang Jingxing wiped the half-square blackboard six times and wrote six times. The people taking notes below were also very busy, and some even ran to the front to take pictures.
The most difficult thing was for the compatriots and Puyin people. Every time a new offensive was launched, Lu Kaiping shrank and did not dare to look back. Even Li Yingzhen would frown. Yu Xinting sat there not moving much, her round eyes blinking.
Expressions rise and fall.
The funnier ones are Yemima and Wilson. They seem to understand and appreciate things very well. They often look happy, but in fact they are mostly confused.
In fact, it was obvious that after Yang Jingxing made a simple statement and concluding remarks, everyone in the audience looked at each other. It was not until Professor Tongsha started applauding that others swarmed up.
It was even more lively than a concert, but Puyin's pianists were very happy. Li Yingzhen even patted Yu Xinting's arm. Although Yu Xinting's clapping action was obviously just to join in the fun, it was not as sincere as Kong Chenhe's.
Forbidden feeling.
Now that Yang Jingxing was showing off, Julia was no longer polite. Before Yang Jingxing even put down the mineral water bottle in his hand, the piano department teacher launched another attack...
There is still no one to organize or manage. There are more and more people in this small hall. Not only are the empty seats filled, but there are also standing tickets. It must be Yang Jingxing who resisted those people after the first round.
Reinforcements called by text message.
People in Puyin began to get nervous and worried. Lu Kaiping wanted to see all directions and listen to all directions. He was completely confused.
The people at Juilliard were becoming more and more rude in their attacks. They also saw that there might be no chance of winning on the piano, so they used all kinds of strange tricks to force Yang Jingxing to talk about Schoenberg's expressionism and visual art, and to talk about the pitch organization of various periods.
System, Wagner's theory and practice, Szymanovsky's style evolution, neoclassicism, Indian students also asked Yang Jingxing to comment on Ravi Shankar, and even things like heteronomy and autodiscipline in music came out...
…
Julia's people are very good at sizing up the situation, and they soon discovered that the students were not good at all, the doctors and masters had no fighting ability at all, and the younger teachers were not good at all. It was still the old guys who had to take the lead. Firstly, they would be ruthless in their attacks, and secondly, Yang Jingxing would be polite in return.
Some.
The original plan was from nine to eleven. At half past twelve, we discussed the beauty and thinking of Brahms and Schubert's piano works for half an hour in an almost symposium with Yang Jingxing, and each gave his speech.
In addition to the understanding of classical and romantic, form and emotion, rationality and sensibility...Yemima is still relatively gentle. Although she is not polite, she focuses on communication and does not try to stump Yang Jingxing, and announces: "I don't want to say it, but
I'm afraid it must come to an end, a wonderful day, wonderful music, wonderful debates, brilliant knowledge...Thank you Yang Jingxing!" I shouted loudly.
At the beginning, there were more than eighty people, but now there were at least one hundred, twenty or thirty people crowded inside and outside the small room. The applause was naturally much louder, and it was finally over.
Everyone around him stood up. Lu Kaiping seemed a little exhausted, but he still struggled. Yu Xinting was filial and remembered to help Li Yingzhen.
The applause lasted so long that Yang Jingxing nodded and laughed so many times that he simply ignored it, came down from the stage, and started shaking hands...Julia's students were a little unruly and came to join in the fun.
Chapter completed!
