Yang Jingxing's task in the evening was still to talk and communicate with Wei Junyu on paper. Although they had not yet implemented it in practice, Wei Junyu already had a lot of opinions of his own, and Yang Jingxing took them seriously.

At around eight o'clock, Yu Xinting, who was supposed to be practicing piano downstairs, came up, taking Kong Chenhe, Wang Yuchen and two other boys with her.

This is because the troupe members who received the score came to communicate with the composer and conductor in advance. The two boys are also from the brass department, focusing on trombone and French horn respectively, and they both have guys with them.

Wang Yuchen was very polite: "I'm sorry, didn't you bother me?"

Yang Jingxing smiled brightly: "That's very welcome. Please take a seat."

Wang Yuchen formally: "Let me introduce to you..."

In fact, they all looked familiar, but they still shook hands. The trombone boy said to Yang Jingxing: "I have rehearsed your "Sun in the Rain", but it was a pity that I was in a hurry."

Yang Jingxing said politely: "I'm really sorry that I have to cause you trouble again."

Wang Yuchen smiled: “I’ve read the score and I’m looking forward to it.”

The French horn boy seemed to know Wei Junyu quite well and said that he liked playing the wind section, especially the alto and bass parts.

After sitting down, Wang Yuchen explained the situation: "I received the notice at noon, telling us to go get the music score to prepare a new work. You know, I didn't say it. It made me a little annoyed. If I had told me, I would have gone right then."

Yang Jingxing was worried: "You're not here to criticize me, are you?"

Wang Yuchen smiled: "Of course not. Because I haven't heard of any new works. But knowing that Kong Chenhe is familiar with you, I called her first and found out that she was appointed by the principal, you know?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The school wants to give everyone an opportunity to exercise independently, and our entire group has been hand-picked."

The trombone boy asked: "You didn't choose the group members?"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "How am I qualified... The conductor might be able to make suggestions to the school."

Wei Junyu said: "As long as you cooperate better, no matter what you choose, these are the people who look up but don't see you when they look down."

Kong Chenhe said: "That's right, it's pretty much the same anyway. Just be more serious when rehearsing."

Yang Jingxing reminded Yu Xinting: "Especially you."

Yu Xinting nodded, but Kong Chenhe defended her friend: "Don't put so much pressure on her. It's not good to put too much pressure on her. It should be beneficial..."

"Have you read the score?" Yang Jingxing asked the musicians again: "To be honest, do you think it's okay?"

Wang Yuchen said: "It's very good. I like songs with good melody and technical skills."

The male trombone voice also said: "Anyway, it feels better than the symphony overture."

Many people know that the world premiere program prepared for the Main Day has a very special style. To put it simply, the wind band plays oriental music in the minds of ordinary Western listeners from beginning to end, with trumpets imitating locks and so on.

The big cymbal is struck thrillingly...sometimes it makes people think that they are joining an ancient wedding band.

In the same art, Master Picasso achieved incredible success by breaking the traditional aesthetics. In this regard, the pioneering consciousness of musicians seems to be far behind.

Yang Jingxing highly praised the composer who also came out of Puyin, saying that he had read the score of the symphony overture. Needless to say, the technique and new structure were ingenious, and the sense of layering and direction was also quite clear... From a technical perspective,

, much more profound and avant-garde than a student like myself.

Kong Chenhe believes that being unconventional is of course important, but good listening is the most fundamental thing. Otherwise, how could such clichéd pop music have such a big market?

These discussions are meaningless. Let’s talk about the matter at hand. Wang Yuchen suggested that Yang Jingxing tell everyone about his works, but Yang Jingxing pushed this task to Wei Junyu.

Wei Junyu started with the brass section and explained it to the musicians in a decent manner, and everyone listened attentively. However, it was just a preview and it was difficult to go into depth.

There are several sections in the second movement where the first trumpet plays the leading role. Wang Yuchen actively performed it live and everyone applauded.

Kong Chenhe strongly urged Yang Jingxing to compete with the professionals. After hearing this, the professionals and amateurs all sighed. Then the competition turned into a brass quartet, which was very noisy.

After feeling relaxed and harmonious, the musicians began to inquire about the school's specific emphasis on Yang Jingxing's new work, so that they could all have psychological preparations and expectations.

When answering this question, Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu did not cooperate very well. The composer believed that it ultimately depends on the team's performance, while the conductor firmly believed that the school would give them enough opportunities.

It was after nine o'clock, and Wei Junyu suggested that we talk later. He and Yang Jingxing had not completed their tasks today, so they had to hurry up.

After ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing went downstairs to remind Yu Xinting to go back and rest: "You have a lot of time, don't rush this moment, just be serious during rehearsals."

Yu Xinting asked: "Should I go too tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Of course, do I still need to practice?"

Yu Xinting giggled, worried: "But I can't control myself well."

Yang Jingxing said: "It just requires you to grasp it yourself, and it's also training."

Yu Xinting asked: "Aren't you leaving?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's coming soon. The image of a performer is very important. If you don't sleep well, you won't look good."

Yu Xinting doubted: "Wang Yuchen is quite the number one."

Yang Jingxing taught him a lesson: "That's not what you should care about."

Yu Xinting nodded: "Then I'll go back."

After calling Qi Qingnuo, Yang Jingxing went to study with Wei Junyu until nearly twelve o'clock before going back to their respective homes.

At 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon, Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu came to the orchestra rehearsal hall of the rehearsal center to make preparations, and took the initiative to get to know the musicians who were arriving one after another.

Wei Junyu quietly rejoiced with Yang Jingxing. It seemed that most of the people were not too lazy. Before the time came, almost everyone had arrived, and they all felt quite enthusiastic, and even had some compliments on the work.

Yu Xinting arrived a little later, and some of her classmates took the initiative to greet her. Then Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu took her to meet people together. Yu Xinting was not as reserved as the freshman, and she could communicate well.

A few minutes before three o'clock, Sun Yuanfei led the team, including Lu Kaiping and Li Yingzhen from the piano department, He Hongchui and Gong Xiaoling from the composition department, two teachers who were the chief teachers in the group, and two orchestra managers.

The students all stood up and waited.

The management teacher called the roll first, and except for the two violinists and the cello who asked for leave in advance and did not come, the other fifty-five people were all present.

Sun Yuanfei stood on the podium, inspected and announced: "Everyone welcomes Director Lu, Professor Li, Director He and Professor Gong to guide us..." He took the lead in applauding.

After the welcome, Sun Yuanfei began to swear: "... Everyone is already familiar with Yang Jingxing. This time the school attaches great importance to his new work and has high expectations. We have also collaborated with Wei Junyu and have a certain understanding of him. Students,

Time is running out..."

In addition to words of encouragement and supervision, Sun Yuanfei also explained the school's arrangements. Piano master classes and peach blossoms are the highlight of the school anniversary, and the importance of showing teaching achievements and student style to guests from all walks of life is self-evident.

While Sun Yuanfei was speaking, the orchestra management teacher distributed the schedule to everyone. There were some strict instructions on the schedule, such as being absent from class if you did not rehearse. As for absenteeism, Yang Jingxing is probably the best in Puyin.

After Sun Yuanfei received applause from his orchestra classmates who were full of confidence and fighting spirit, he asked the other professors to discuss who would give a few words first.

After a brief exchange of humility, Lu Kaiping came first. He also stepped onto the podium and once again emphasized the importance of the "Piano Concerto in G Major", and it is not only important to the piano department or composition department, but also to the school...

…

We have heard this kind of thing a lot, but the slight difference is that this time the main culprit is not some famous person.

However, Lu Kaiping mentioned again: "Everyone should know Director Wang of the Philharmonic. He admires Yang Jingxing very much and is willing to cooperate with the school. However, we all feel that this year's stage should belong to our Puyin students, so we can only

Let you work harder. I know that you will have heavy tasks in the second half of the year, so the school is considering letting Yang Jingxing select some members by himself, but I believe that everyone is not afraid of this hard work. It is a pleasure to rehearse an excellent piece..."

The representative from the Composition Department was Gong Xiaoling. She did not go to the podium, but just walked to the piano. Her voice was much gentler: "Director Sun and Director Lu have made it very clear that this rehearsal is not only for the orchestra, but also for the conductor.

Piano performance is a test and exercise for composers. I wish you all to fully understand the work during the rehearsal process, cooperate tacitly, and use the optimistic, positive, and vital attitude contained in the work itself to

Go and complete this piece. Students, Director Lu is right, this year’s stage belongs to you, and I believe that the honor and pride will also belong to you..."

Young people seem to prefer sensationalism, and the applause Gong Xiaoling received was much warmer and more positive.

After that, it was the students' turn. Wei Junyu stood upright on the podium and expressed his confidence and determination. He felt that he had some commanding momentum and courage.

It was Yang Jingxing's turn. He stood at attention and seemed unprepared: "It's my first time to write a concerto and collaborate with so many brothers, sisters, and teachers. I'm very nervous... Anyway, I'll leave it to you all. Also, as a performer...

… Let Yu Xinting do the performance, welcome."

Everyone asked, Yu Xinting was obviously nervous again. There were so many pairs of eyes watching her walking to the middle, but she didn't dare to look at anyone's feelings: "I will work hard... If I don't do well, please criticize me."

You must work hard."

Gong Xiaoling praised: "Okay, just these two words will do!"

Almost half an hour passed, and Sun Yuanfei came to emphasize again: "The principal has to inspect it personally when he returns from Europe, so we hurry up and take advantage of the fact that there are so many teachers here..."

Sun Yuanfei introduced several important team members to Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu to get acquainted with them again. After everyone divided the work casually, they were ready to start training the team.

Puyin's students are relatively reliable, and they all get to their seats very quickly. They all bring their own scores, and no one tunes them temporarily. What's more commendable is that the first violin teacher and the clarinet teacher also have to perform in person.

Yang Jingxing and Wei Junyu, who had prepared for several days in advance, were of course the fastest to get ready.

There were so many teachers watching, and everyone looked at the piano and the conductor with serious expressions. Wei Junyu folded his hands on his chest and raised his baton in front of his face, which was full of charm.

Yang Jingxing started without much deliberation. After a dozen or so gentle measures, the string section, under the leadership of the principal and the reminder of the conductor, got ready to pluck the strings one after another.

After just one measure of plucking, a group of professors next to me had various expressions. It was really miserable, some were too light, some were too heavy, and they were not in the same rhythm at all.

Fortunately, Wei Junyu had been given so many vaccinations, so he didn't have any trouble on his face. He turned over the music score and continued going down, looking very serious. Yang Jingxing was obviously used to playing solos, and he was enjoying himself. He seemed to have no worries at all.

Pay attention to the band's performance.

Fortunately, the first movement only lasted about seven minutes. Wei Junyu pulled the baton for the last time and looked up at the sky as if he was relieved. No matter how solemn the professors were, the students also knew how they performed. It was obvious that they lacked the most basic understanding of music scores.

familiarity, which has nothing to do with the quality of the work.

Yang Jingxing stood up and greeted the conductor and the orchestra with a smile: "Thank you, I feel pretty good."

The principal violin teacher stood up, turned around and said to the orchestra: "I'm still not familiar with the work. Let's take a look first and see..."

Sun Yuanfei asked his subordinates loudly: "Did you emphasize it yesterday? You must be familiar with it, be familiar with it!"
