After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiang'er frowned and said, "The organizer said that the accompanying orchestra was too late to rehearse "Skylark" and asked me if I wanted to change a song."

Fang Xing asked: "You agree?"

Lu Xiang'er shook her head and replied: "No, I have been preparing for so long, and now I have no time to practice when I change the repertoire."

Although I have practiced a lot of classic violin music since I was a child, if I need to change the music temporarily, I don’t have no songs to use.

However, I have been practicing "Skylark" for almost a month, and there are only a few days left for the rematch. If I change the entry song now, I will definitely not be proficient enough in the competition.

Fang Xing then asked: "What did the organizer say?"

Lu Xiang'er recalled and replied: "They said that they could not provide accompaniment for instruments such as piano and violin. If the music was not changed, I would have to bring my own accompaniment or compete without accompaniment."

The violin is not like a piano.

The piano can also sound great when played alone.

Playing the violin alone, especially some difficult music, can seem monotonous.

Therefore, if you compete without an accompaniment, you will suffer a lot.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to change the song?"

Lu Xiang'er shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to."

"There are two options, one is to create a digital accompaniment, and the other is to find the school's symphony orchestra. I can be responsible for the piano part, cello, double bass, etc. It is relatively simple and can be coordinated in a few days of rehearsal," Fang Xing suggested.

Two options.

The piece "Skylark" can be played with piano accompaniment or symphony orchestra accompaniment.

Among the accompaniment instruments, the most important one is the piano.

As for the scores for cello, double bass, and brass section, there are relatively few.

Even some instruments with few passages are so boring that they can fall asleep when playing in ensemble.

If the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra is willing to accompany it, it will be possible to perform after a few days of rehearsal.

"I don't know if the school symphony orchestra can agree. I'm a little worried." Lu Xiang'er sighed, feeling that this time things were a bit tortuous.

Fang Xing actually thought of another plan.

If the First Dongyin Symphony Orchestra is not willing to help, then pay for a symphony orchestra.

The competition only takes one day. Hiring a symphony orchestra and adding up from rehearsal to competition should cost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

However, this is a backup plan. Please communicate with the school first.

…

the next day.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er came to Professor He Zhaolin's office on the eighth floor of the administrative building of Donghai Conservatory of Music.

"What do you want? I have a class later, only twenty minutes." He Zhaolin looked at his watch.

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly got down to business: "Professor, I submitted "Skylark" as the entry for the semi-finals. The organizers did not object, but they said that the accompanying orchestra did not have time to rehearse the new song and asked me to bring my own accompaniment, otherwise I would have to change the entry."

He Zhaolin frowned and said: "This is indeed a problem. Former students used classic music to compete, and this kind of problem has never happened before."

It is actually very rare to participate in an international competition with a new song.

He Zhaolin has tutored many participating students, but has never encountered this problem.

Fang Xing took up the conversation: "So, we want to ask the school's No. 1 Symphony Orchestra to provide Genoa accompaniment."

"this……"

He Zhaolin could not make a decision on this matter alone. He could only say: "You have to apply to the school for this matter. The procedures for the First Symphony Orchestra to perform abroad are quite complicated. Funding is also an issue."

The school has dedicated leaders in charge of the performances of the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.

To perform abroad, you will definitely need funds.

If you need funds, you need to apply to the school.

However, this time the symphony orchestra went abroad to perform, it was not for profit. It was just accompanying a participating student.

It is more troublesome to apply for this funding.

Fang Xing took the initiative and said, "I will fully sponsor this overseas performance."

When the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra goes out to perform, it can basically get sponsorship.

If you have sponsorship, it will be much easier to apply for activities from the school.

He Zhaolin nodded and said: "If that's the case, I can apply to the school. I think the symphony orchestra also wants to participate in this event. I will apply to the school first, and I will inform you when the results are available."

After all, it is the most prestigious international violin competition.

If you can participate in this competition, even if you are just an accompanist, it will be a good experience for the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiang'er received a call from He Zhaolin and confirmed that the First East Symphony Orchestra agreed to go to Genoa to help with the accompaniment.

Subsequently, He Zhaolin arranged for the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra to rehearse with Lu Xianger.

Among them, Fang Xing is responsible for the piano accompaniment.

After all, there are many piano accompaniment passages. If you start practicing now, you will definitely not be proficient enough by the time of the competition.

Fang Xing was already very proficient, so he directly participated in the rehearsal.

the following few days.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er rehearsed "Skylark" with the First Dongyin Symphony Orchestra.

In fact, we have collaborated twice before on "Song" and we are already very familiar with it.

Working together again, it went very smoothly from the beginning of rehearsal.

Moreover, this time He Zhaolin personally served as the conductor of the symphony orchestra.

After many years, he had the opportunity to return to the Paganini International Violin Competition, which felt very wonderful.

During the rehearsal, Fang Xing and He Zhaolin discussed the music and added some accompaniment passages to make the whole music more pleasant to the ears.

After the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra rehearsed "Skylark", everyone liked this piece very much, especially when the violin imitated the cry of skylarks, it seemed as if they really heard a group of skylarks chirping.

After rehearsing for a week, it was finally time for the rematch of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

The group of more than one hundred people took a flight to Paganini's hometown, the seaport city of Genoa.

Since the entire Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra was going this time, there were a lot of people, and it looked like a chartered flight.
Chapter completed!
