女孩別哭
剛在lab拖了點時間, 遲遲才踏進琴房. 一開門, 就看到艾莉悶悶的坐在鋼琴前, 手裡電話正要撥給我. 悄悄的看一下, 恩, 今天有點怪. 問了沒幾句, 拿起來的琴就又放下, 開始委屈的哭了起來. 唉唉唉, 原來是和男朋友分手了呀.
長期合作下來, 聽久了, 也大概知道這個男孩子的個性. 感覺得出來, 女生是很投入的,像個小女人一樣. 抱了抱她, 聽她講起分分合合的過程, 心理直接就嘆了口氣, (OS: sweetie, he's just not that into you.....) 乖乖當個好聽眾吧. 兩個人都是小提琴, 樂團, 教室, 學校到處都會見到, 怎叫她受得了. 邊講著, 看她的情緒漸漸穩定下來, 再慢慢把重心轉移開.
都才大學的孩子, 免不了是要遭受點挫折的. 聽起來, 男生是打算在下禮拜才講, 正當她的音樂會前夕. 要不是最近女生一直問, 不然也不會提早爆發. 這要算是好還不好? 好在她們現在就分手, 然後趕快讓我善後補救一下? 不然音樂會砸了也不是辦法. 心的裂痕,是需要時間來修補的. 長長的路, 就要更勇敢的走哪!
真是, 最近把學生弄哭的功力越來越高了. 明明才不到學期1/3, 就已經三隻愛哭鬼出現, 看來這學期是要破紀錄了. 嘖嘖. (不要再讓我遇到這種事了啦~~~ 我不會處理啦!)

音樂會, 不是我的
7.53 度要把音樂會延期了. (大驚!!!)
[7.53 是大學部美眉, 弦樂, 私底下我都叫她這綽號. 原因應該很好猜. =]
今天上完課, 卡門幻想曲完全是'卡到門', 跑來跑去的三度根本就連基本的把位都抓不到. 她家老師明智的說要讓她延期或改曲目, 小妮子馬上就選了音樂會延期. 不改還好, 反反覆覆下來, 竟然給我排在另一場音樂會的隔天..... 連著兩天彈兩場音樂會, 還是同個studio, 老天, 這是對我的逞罰嗎.? 我自己的譜都背不完了啦~~~
那天上課老師直接說, "那你禮拜四晚上就來彈studio class, all yours." 哇咧還不能說不行咧. 直接就是擺明, "你現在就是歸我管, 我愛怎樣就怎樣." 大頭, 根本沒在怕你好嗎? 而且配伴奏還要教主奏數拍子,這好像不是我份內的工作唷.
剛在電話裡就直接對7.53度暴走, (我也知道不是她的錯,) 不過那個當下真的需要發洩一下.
(啊~~~ 尖叫暴走中.)

Violinist Joshua Bell played incognito in a Washington
A Most Interesting Story
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?

還是喜歡看最原始的版本. 對照前後文, 感覺和電視台剪出的片段有點不同.
