Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1039 299. Experiment No. ! Another fruitful day [Part ]

"puff--"

It sounds as soon as it is heard.

None of the adults surrounding Wang Xiaohu laughed at the strange sound.

It was Wang Xiaohu himself who laughed.

Haha, I am really a little genius in playing the flute.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu was not smiling triumphantly, because he finally found the answer to the problem that had been bothering him.

He knew that the teacher didn't need him to attend Uncle Feng's class, but he really wanted to try it himself.

With this attempt, the answer to the question was found.
-
At noon, Ang Lee treated everyone to a meal and we chatted about various issues related to the orchestra's rehearsal.

Speaking of the bass brass, Wang Xiaohu also talked about his new understanding.

"I just realized that the sound of the tuba is so slow. It feels like the movement is always half a second faster than the sound. I understand."

Wang Xiaohu’s words “I have realized” are not groundless. There is a little-known story behind it.

When Zhang Miao heard in the store that Wang Xiaohu wanted to try the large size, she thought of the trip to Haishi.

However, Zhang Miao and the others did not know what exactly happened in the rehearsal room that day. They only knew that when Wang Xiaohu went on stage at the end, the young trumpet player who had not appeared on stage before also went on stage.

Wang Xiaohu: "I picked the large size myself."

Li An: "Oh, you mean to form a team on your own, right?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."
-
During the conducting master class in Haishi, there was a session where the student conductors and the young members of the Haishi Redwood Youth Symphony Orchestra spontaneously formed teams for small-scale collaboration, with the young conductors conducting a 20-second piece of music.

Each conductor can select four to five musical instruments, that is, four to five musicians for rehearsal.

Wang Xiaohu was the fifth conductor to take the stage. Most of the conductors before him had chosen conventional instruments that could be played solo, such as flute, trumpet, clarinet and other wind instruments, and some even chose bassoon.

But no small conductor picked the tuba.

This means that if no one else chooses the tuba, the boy playing the tuba will not have the opportunity to go on stage in this segment.

Given the nature of the event that day, the young musicians may indeed have been a bit like NPCs to the young conductors, after all, all the young musicians that day were provided by the organizers.

But almost every young musician was selected to go on stage, except the boy playing the tuba. He just sat there holding his instrument and looking at everyone, just like an audience member. Wang Xiaohu couldn't stand it anymore.

"I feel a little sorry." Wang Xiaohu said honestly: "Then I'll choose a large size. Anyway, the ranking doesn't matter to me."

Zhang Miao understood what was going on. "I said that your big number had never appeared before you went on stage."

Everyone smiled and gave Xiaohu a thumbs up.

Lao Tang: “It has a pattern.”

Ge Xingyan: "My command!"

Li An also hummed in approval: "Then what? You have never touched the tuba before, how do you design the rehearsal?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Although I have never played it before, I know that the tuba is the fulcrum of an orchestra, and it can strengthen the bass part of the entire orchestra. So I chose the tuba first, which is equivalent to choosing a foundation first."

"How should I put it?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly thought of Teacher Qin's words, "If an orchestra is compared to a pyramid, then the tuba is the bottom of the pyramid."

Upon hearing this, Old Feng immediately gave a thumbs up, looked around and said, "This kid is incredible. He has such knowledge at such a young age."

Everyone nodded in agreement. This was the truth. Except for Xiaoyun, who did not come to open the shop, everyone present was a music major and could fully understand the value of this statement.

Wang Xiaohu showed a rare hint of embarrassment, "Uncle Feng, this is what my conductor told me."

When Brother Xiaohu said this, Old Feng was even more impressed. How many children could be so frank in the face of praise?

Ang Lee: "Now that we have the tuba, you chose the flute and triangle."

Wang Xiaohu was stunned: "Teacher, how did you know?"

Li Anle: "Of course I know."

Zhang Miao posted the video of Wang Xiaohu's on-site command in the group that day, but it took Li An two days to find it in the group because he was too busy during those days.

Lao Feng: "It's interesting to choose a triangle. Why did you think of a triangle?"

Everyone looked over, and Wang Xiaohu cleared his throat and said, "Because I want to shoot a happy melody with a sense of contrast, and there is a tuba as the bass part. I think choosing the flute as the melody instrument to correspond to the tuba should maximize the contrast of the sound. If there is a piccolo, I will choose the piccolo."

Mu Xin: “The piccolo’s range is probably the highest among all woodwind instruments.”

Chen Xuan nodded.

Wang Xiaohu: "The feeling I imagined should be the kind of rhythm of umm-ba, umm-ba, with the bass rhythm of the tuba as the basis and the melody of the flute. However, I want the flute melody to have a bit of legato feeling, so the high-pitched rhythm part lacks a bit of echoing symmetry."

Ge Xingyan: "Awesome!"

In an instant, even though Wang Xiaohu had not finished speaking, everyone at the scene except Xu Li understood Wang Xiaohu's intention.

Lao Tang frankly said that Wang Xiaohu had a clear idea and could be said to have prescribed the right medicine as expected.

"What does legato mean?" Xu Li asked in a low voice.

Chen Xuan: "The meaning of legato is that Xiaohu hopes the flute can play a smooth and continuous melody."

Ang Lee: "I feel like something is wrong here. Xiaohu's legato here should not be completely relative to non-legato. He still needs to let the melody bear part of the granularity of the music. Otherwise, why would he choose the triangle as the high-pitched percussion instrument?"

Chen Xuan: "Because polyphonic music requires at least two rhythmic levels to enrich the sound."

Ang Lee: "Because of the need for rhythmic layers, the flute melody here cannot just be a melody, it also has to take on a part of the rhythmic push, otherwise how can the triangle fit in more appropriately."

As soon as Wang Xiaohu raised his hand, Chen Xuan spoke again: "You are making the problem too complicated."

Li An: "You are oversimplifying the problem."

"Uh" Brother Xiaohu thought to himself, this, this, this.

Because of Xu Li's question from a non-professional, two opposing views immediately formed at the scene.

The group led by Lao Tang and Zhang Yunshu stood on Chen Xuan's side.

The group led by Mu Xin and Ge Xingyan stood on Li An's side.

After a heated debate, both sides acknowledged each other, but everyone felt that their own opinion was Wang Xiaohu's motive at the time.

Finally, the question was thrown to Mr. Feng.

"Teacher Feng, what do you say?"

Lao Feng smiled. He really liked this atmosphere. It felt great to sit together with young professionals from various professions to discuss professional issues.

But for this question, the child has to say: "Xiaohu, tell the teachers what you were thinking at that time."

Finally, it was Xiaohu's turn to speak. Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Xiaohu cleared his throat and said, "It's like this. At first, I thought the problem was too complicated, so I changed my mindset. But during the rehearsal process, I felt that I had simplified the problem again."

Everyone: "."

Lao Feng: "Hahaha, you are born to be a commander."

Wang Xiaohu grinned. He really wasn't trying to mediate the "conflict" between the two parties. "I chose the triangle because it is not only a percussion instrument, but also has a high pitch, which can perfectly echo the rhythm and pitch of the tuba. But as Teacher Que said, I also need the flute to produce something granular, and it must be done in a legato performance."

"I selected three classmates, and the instrumentation teacher asked me what I thought. We have a special composition teacher who will arrange a piece for us on the spot. After I told the teacher my idea, the teacher quickly wrote a piece of instrumentation, and then they tried it. When I listened to it, it was very good and it was the feeling I wanted. At this time, I felt that I had over-complicated the problem at the beginning."

"The piece is very simple, with just a twelve-bar theme repeated twice, and the second time it ends directly in the second room. It took less than ten minutes to arrange it. Just like what Master's Wife said, as long as the triangle hits the first beat of the flute melody, the effect will be just right."

“But after I arranged everything and listened to the whole thing twice, I felt that something was not right. There was always something missing. The triangle and the tuba just couldn’t blend perfectly.”

"I just wanted to see if the flute could have a stronger rhythm. In the end, the girl who played the flute almost cried because of me."

Ge Xingyan: "Hahahahaha! Ruthless command."

Chen Xuan: "According to your request, it would be difficult for even a senior student to do it, let alone a junior student."

Haitao: "So how was it solved in the end?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I asked the composition teacher to modify the tuba, making the rhythm of the tuba shorter and more varied."

Everyone: "."

Wang Yufei sighed, expressing everyone's thoughts: "It's already been arranged, and then we have to change the score. It's so vivid."

Ge Xingyan: "The key is that this change is simply a punishment for the big account!"

Ang Lee: "You're not going to give up until you've offended all the voices."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "Music is about pursuing the ultimate personal expression. You must never get tired of it and strive for perfection. This is what you taught me, teacher."

Ha ha ha ha--

Wang Xiaohu: "But the trumpet brother was really awesome. The teacher who wrote the instrumentation probably thought I was a bit too much. He didn't really think I was too much. He just smiled and asked me if I was sure I needed to change it. He said it was already very good. But when I said I wanted to change it, the trumpet brother stood up holding the trumpet and said to change it!"

Lao Tang: "It's like returning a favor."

Wang Xiaohu: "The modified tuba is indeed a bit difficult, and new problems have arisen. Because the tempo of the piece is fast, and the rhythm of the tuba is complicated, the three of them can't quite keep up, and I was in a mess conducting it."

Wang Yufei: "The pronunciation of the tuba is slow."

Wang Xiaohu: "In fact, we still didn't get it right the last time before going on stage. I thought I'd just go for it. The worst that could happen is that I'd lose face. So I asked them if they were afraid of messing up, and they all said no."

Li An smiled: "I am worthy of the person you chose."

Wang Xiaohu paused, "It's the teacher. None of the three of them have ever been on stage, so they may not have any big concerns."

Oh - so that's how it is. The three young performers were the ones who were not selected before.

“But I didn’t choose these three just to take the risk of going on stage in the first place.”

Wang Xiaohu explained quickly, "I'm the conductor. I chose them, so I definitely want them to receive applause on the stage. But none of them were chosen. No one chose the triangle, and the flutes chosen by the previous people were all one or two parts. I chose the three-part flute."

Zhang Miao: "No problem, Xiaohu. You performed perfectly on stage in the end."

Wang Xiaohu: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

After a pause, "They didn't care at that time, so I told the big guy to just look at my right hand."

Everyone nodded again.

"I didn't expect it myself, but it actually closed in the end. My right hand is always a little faster than my left hand."

"So I wanted to try the tuba just now. I wanted to see what it was like and what it felt like to play the slow sound. Now I know. If I were given another chance, I think I could combine the three instruments with both hands at the same speed."

"Thank you Uncle Feng, thank you Sister Yunshu, Sister Yufei, and thank you Brother Xiaoge. I learned a lot from you today. Thank you!"

As Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became more intense.

Wang Xiaohu stood up with a Coke in his hand and said, "Thank you, teachers!"

Seeing this, everyone raised their cups. Haitao said seriously, "Come on, Xiaohu. I believe you can become a conductor in the future."

Haitao's words came from his heart. Not only Haitao, but everyone at the scene had this feeling. After listening to what Wang Xiaohu said, this kid might really be what Mr. Feng said, a natural conductor.

Faced with the teachers' heartwarming wishes, Brother Xiaohu was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

"I will work hard!"

After thinking about it, I still have to say this: I will try my best. Wang Xiaohu's words are still as powerful as they were a year ago.

Li An: "Okay, keep working hard, let's work hard together, cheers!"

Everyone: "Cheers!"

Cheers to Wang Xiaohu and the Shu Ren Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Although the teachers have not gathered yet, Li An has a hunch.

The 10% chance of winning that he was looking for was not far away.

At this moment, "Hey, Senior, show us Xiaohu's conducting clip. I really want to listen to it!"

Ge Xingyan couldn't bear it any longer.

Just like that, everyone listened to the dynamic and cheerful melody and watched the young man in a black tuxedo in the center of the stage waving his hands slightly uncoordinatedly, as if they were there themselves.

No one cares whether Wang Xiaohu's hands waved beautifully or not, the music already says it all.

Watching the video again, Ang Lee also understood why Wang Xiaohu's hands were a little uncoordinated.

He tried it secretly under the table. One hand was fast while the other was slow. It was something not everyone could do.

Okay, young man, keep up the good work. The stage is almost set up, and maybe I will really need you to help me share some of the burden then.

Li An laughed along with everyone else.

"It has its origins. In order to further seek new timbres, composers in the Romantic period began to study the specific expressive power of the triangle."

Then the triangle was played and the dinner continued.

Lao Feng truly deserves the title of veteran artist: "Its timbre and cold vibrato can neutralize the band's high-intensity emotional expression and make the emotions more full."

A group of young teachers also listened very carefully.

Li An toasted Ge Xingyan alone, saying that little Ge had indeed helped him a lot.

After the meal, Xu Li showed her personal emotions, which was rare. She rushed to the front desk in a domineering manner, as if she would be angry with anyone who competed with her to pay the bill.

Nothing wrong, Xu Li is just very happy today.
-
In the afternoon, Junior Brother Da Ti and Junior Sister Zhong Ti arrived as scheduled, and Wang Wenyang and others also arrived soon after.

Those who are making promises continue to make promises, and those who are "testing" the teacher continue to test. There is a busy scene outside piano room No. 5.

In piano room number five, Xiaoche, who had already finished class, was listening to Chen Xuan talking about lunch.

In fact, Xiao Che had already listened to it once, but Wang Xiaohu did not tell her that those three classmates had never been on stage.

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, Xiaoche laughed happily several times.

moment.

"Master's wife, we will be gone for a long time again this time."

Xiao Che wanted to listen to what the master's wife said and wanted to stay with her for a while longer. The master's wife was leaving the day after tomorrow at noon, and Xiao Che was reluctant to let her go.
