Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 203 200. Summary of post-match reflections, true or false Czerny?

Maybe there is another part of Li Ang's life hidden behind that door. As for where the lock cylinder is, at least he hasn't touched it yet.

Of course, it can be seen that he is not in a hurry.

After the performances of all 18 contestants, the third round of the Youth Open Group of the No.[-] National Xinghai Cup Piano Competition came to an end with the host’s enthusiastic concluding remarks and applause.

The host announced that the final result of this round of competition will be announced online at 23:17 pm on the 30rd.

"So which four players can successfully enter the final, let us wait and see."

This was not said by the host, but by Lao Tang on the way back to the hotel and then Wu Fusheng complained about the delay in the announcement of the results of the second round.

Lao Tang's first movement today had two running sticks in a row. For this alone, he has already lost the qualification to compete for the final ticket, and no one in the room is clear.

So at this time, I can be regarded as completely relaxed, without any burden.

In addition to self-mockery, the joyful tone is also happy for the wonderful performance of Wu Fusheng and Li An, by the way, I wish you well.

Not to mention Wu Fusheng, the county magistrate and master are all in the same camp.

As for Li An, after getting along with him this week, Lao Tang has a good impression of Li An, and he admires Li An from the bottom of his heart. A person who has already worked can still come to participate in this competition, so he has to give this spirit. Li An gave a thumbs up.

What's more, the opponent's farewell today was almost heavenly. The emotional appeal of the round performance, he thought that no player could do better than Ang Lee today.

Isn't music a language to express emotions?
Fortunately, Li An made up for the third round, otherwise he might never have the chance to hear Li An's farewell in this life.

At the end of the game, everyone went back to their respective life trajectories. Even if they made friends, how many times can they meet again in this life.

He has come to the end of this journey, he knows that Wu Fusheng will definitely enter the final, and at the same time he also hopes that Li An can enter the final.

Li An originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but for no other reason, he patted the shoulder yesterday afternoon before the lottery, which made him truly feel the sincere kindness of the other party.

But think about it again, it is not appropriate to comfort the other party in this context.

The game is like this, no matter what happens in the audience, as long as the shovel on the stage shakes his hands, no one can blame anyone.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Li An smiled and didn't say anything more, but Lao Tang is a friend he has made up with.

Wu Fusheng didn't want to continue this topic anymore, after all, his brother was out of order.

However, no matter how much the topic jumps up, the competition cannot be skipped. This afternoon, Wu Fusheng received a text message from the parents of his students in Haishi. The parents told him that their children performed very well in the competition this afternoon.

"Hey Li An, some of your students will participate in the competition this afternoon."

Wu Fusheng refers to the Chengdu competition area.

Ang Lee replied, "Just one."

Wu Fusheng: "How is it?"

Ang Lee: "It's actually pretty good."

He received a message from Che Lin's father in the afternoon, and when he opened it, he knew it was from Che Lin.

'Teacher, I didn't play the second paragraph well. '

At that time, he went back to the backstage lounge to give Che Lin a call. On the phone, Che Lin only said that she couldn't play well, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. He said a few words of comfort, and then asked Che Lin to record the video of her parents. Send it over.

The sound quality of the video recording is not very clear, but he probably understands it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It’s just that the wrist was a little tight when playing the second verse, and it’s not true that he didn’t play it well. He analyzed that the keys of the piano used in the competition were new, and the keys were a bit hard, which caused Che Lin to get used to it, and it didn’t sound like it. It's so handy at home or in the fourth classroom, so I said I didn't play it well.

So he called again, analyzed Che Lin carefully, and then told the other party that you played very well, which calmed the child down.

Ang Lee shared this incident for the two of them, and then said: "Let's not talk about children, adults often have this kind of problem of not being used to using the piano in competitions."

Lao Tang complained: "Indeed, international competitions are basically chosen by the contestants themselves, and the Xinghai Cup is the designated piano."

Wu Fusheng: "In addition to the Xinghai Cup, is there any decent competition for adults in mainland China now? Think about the video of the judges questioning the contestants in the semi-finals of the Jinding the year before last, and swearing and swearing."

With a sigh, "Hey, take your time."

Li An didn't know about Wu Fusheng's incident of the Dajinding judge's slander, let alone watched the video, so he couldn't make a comment, "What about you, how is your student?"

The topic returned to the children's competition, Wu Fusheng smiled and replied: "The parents told me it was okay, but I guess I won't be able to enter the next round. There are only a few places for promotion, and the children of the Haiyuan Primary School can't compete. It’s the turn of students like us.”

Li An thought about it too. If he didn't have his schedule today, he would definitely go to the professional children's team in the Yanjing competition area to see it live and feel it up close.

It is said that the primary school attached to Huaguoyuan is a gathering place for monsters.

As a piano teacher, how could he not be interested in these little monsters.

During the conversation, at the entrance of the hotel, Wu Fusheng and Lao Tang asked Li An to go downstairs to eat in a while, and Li An said that he would go back to his room to order takeaway.

"How about ordering takeaway? It's so late and the game is over, let's go and relax."

Wu Fusheng pulled Li An not because he wanted to inquire about Lin Youyou's affairs, but because Lao Tang must be more or less unwilling to admit defeat today.

Seeing that Lao Tang was also full of anticipation, Li An had to tell the truth, and said with a smile: "My girlfriend is waiting for me to call her after I finish, let's forget about it today, and I will treat her tomorrow."

When they heard that Li An had a girlfriend, the two bachelors showed a clear expression at the same time.

The elevator stopped at the third floor, and Li An bid farewell to the two of them.

After returning to the room, I first sent a message to Chen Xuan, then took off the dress I had been wearing all day, and my whole body seemed to be liberated.

After taking a comfortable hot shower, he came out and ordered a takeaway.

Then a video invitation was sent to Chen Xuan.

In this video, the two played for a long time.

In the end, it was Li An who took the initiative to hang up, otherwise he was afraid that he would fight until dawn.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Li An until dawn, he left his farewell on the stage of the third round, and he has no regrets.

It's just that Chen Xuan has to go to work early in the morning.
-
The next day, the college competitions in the major competition areas were also in full swing. Li An had already seen the top players in the major campuses on stage yesterday, so he didn't have much expectations for the college competitions in the Yanjing competition area.

The biological clock woke him up on time at 7 o'clock, got up, washed and went downstairs to eat, and then went to the Jiger Piano Art Gallery.

The piano has to be practiced.

Although his mental state was not very good today, due to lack of sleep, he just sat down in front of the piano and took two big breaths in a row, but after 10 minutes, he still realized that he had improved.

The breakthrough in his state of mind made it easier for him to move his fingers, raise his hands, and breathe more naturally. The rhythm is precise and the rhythm is clear. The most gratifying thing is that he has vaguely found a sense of tone that he wants.

It was the kind of timbre he had when he played the second movement Adagio yesterday, it was hard to describe, as if he was using a flat tone of objective narrative.

No fine carving is done on any of the strokes, but when they are connected together, the words are clearly visible from a distance, and the solid emotions between the lines can only be found when viewed closely.

Through the practice in the morning, coupled with the perception of yesterday's stage, Li An felt that his previous understanding of timbre was biased.

Timbres should not be single tone timbres.

The study of timbre may at least be based on two tones, whether it is two tones sounded at the same time, like the first set of intervals in the farewell motive, or two tones sounded one after another, even if it is just a simple set of C to G.

As long as there are two tones, the sound balance of only one tone will definitely be broken.

Then go to the unbalanced sound to find the kind of balance you want.

Finally managed to establish a new balance, as small as a set of scales, as large as a complete set of sonatas.

Ang Lee's new understanding: stability should be the most influential factor on timbre

But it is difficult to find the desired balance, which involves the character of the work and the overall understanding of the work.

Not to mention achieving this balance involves the two issues of voice processing awareness and polyphonic performance.

At noon, Ang Lee summed up the specific direction of solving the problem of timbre in the next stage. Generally speaking, it is the above content.

As for whether it is right or wrong, at least it has more reference value than simply trying to play a note or repeating scale exercises without thinking.

In the afternoon he called Wei Sanwan.

On the phone, Wei Sanwan had already listened to Li An's farewell yesterday morning, and first praised him greatly. Then, after listening to Li An's question, Mr. Wei felt that it was quite fresh. After some specific exchanges, he thought that Li An could Give it a try in this direction.

"But you still have to pay attention to the resistance and key depth of different pianos, and your ideas may have different effects on different pianos."

Elder Wei finally told him.

"Thank you, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Li An smiled wryly. Sure enough, the teacher didn't understand what he wanted to express in the end, probably because his description was too abstract.

However, the depth of the keys still gave him a personality, because he practiced his fingers hard on the Czerny a few months ago. In order to pursue absolute clear performance, his keystrokes are very deep. From today on, she must pay attention to this. .

Yesterday, there was a part of the right-hand run in the third movement that he wanted to do the fade-out processing, but he didn't do it. Analyzing the reason, it should be here.

Back in the piano room in the afternoon, Li An first practiced transposing Czerny 299 for two hours. During the practice, he deliberately paid attention to the problem of pressing the keys.

It's okay, it's not in vain to train my fingers in the past few months.

In the following time, he practiced individual fragments of scattered panels recalled by Yun Xiang, as well as the third movement of k466.

For these two final pieces, he has done all the preparatory work he can do.

All he can do now is to ensure a certain amount of daily practice. Anyway, there are only two days left, and the result of the game will be known in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

If he really made it to the finals, he would go on stage and play what he had prepared. If he couldn't make it, he suddenly hesitated whether to listen to the finals before going back.

Thinking about it, it's really a problem.

He looked at his watch and it was almost time. He had already made an appointment with Wu Fusheng and Lao Tang in the evening. He said yesterday that he would invite them to dinner tonight.

Call it a day and leave.
-
In the evening, Li An invited the two of them to eat a small barbecue made by Chen Xuan Anli.

"Boss, another thirty strings of red waist."

Li An turned around to continue drinking, Wu Fusheng hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't drink, don't drink."

One person has already drank four bottles, Wu Fusheng is determined not to repeat the same mistakes he made during the last meal.

Admittedly, "Old Tang will drink with you, I can't do it."

Li An didn't have the habit of persuading them to drink, and he was the one who invited the two of them to dinner today, and if they said they didn't want to drink, they stopped drinking.

The three of them drank drinks instead, and then chatted about the topic of timbre just now.

It stands to reason that three young masters sitting together should be able to collide with dazzling sparks on this issue——

But it can be extracted into four words, fuck it.

after awhile.

Wu Fusheng sighed: "For a while, I was obsessed, and in the end I almost didn't believe in such things as timbre, but what the hell is listening to the voices of Pollini and Brendel again, it's really nice."

Li An smiled, aren't you talking nonsense, the voices of the masters are all tempered.

Then he used the words of the other party last night to comfort him: "Don't worry, take your time."

At this time, Lao Tang suddenly held his mobile phone and said, "Stop, stop, stop, you two pause for a while, there is a theme for tomorrow night."

The two looked at Lao Tang, but Li An didn't realize what the subject was immediately.

Wu Fusheng: "What?"

Old Tang said: "True and false Czerny night."

Wu Fusheng's eyes lit up: "This theme is interesting."

Lao Tang smiled and explained to Li An: "The hotel salon, you forgot, you didn't come when I called you last time."

Li An remembered, then smiled and said: "Then this theme is the etude."

Wu Fusheng followed suit and nodded: "But the boss must have a new way to play."

New gameplay, how new is it?
Can it be newer than transposing?Ang Li had already made up his mind. He only knew that if he won, he could choose the score, but he didn't know if he could choose the book.

True and false Czerny nights are a bit interesting, is it to compare the live adaptation ability with a certain Czerny work?Is this too harsh for an amateur, or is it some other rule?
Li An was thinking about it, but Lao Tang said, "Come and play together tomorrow."

Li An nodded: "Yeah, everyone will be together tomorrow night."

Speaking of Czerny, Wu Fusheng wanted to complain about the dead up that [-] didn't like to practice the piano. It's been more than half a month, and there is no movement. Every time he gets his wife out, he almost loses his face for traffic.

Of course, he was also wondering if the other party was busy with something recently.

Anyway, he was seriously skeptical about Bawan's updated attitude that he didn't like to practice piano.

The three chatted for a while about tomorrow night's salon, seeing that the food was almost finished, Li An got up to pay the bill and the three left.

On the way back to the hotel, he received a call from Qin Yong, "Brother Yong, I'm on the way back to the hotel. The wind is too strong and I can't hear you clearly. I'll call you back."

Hearing Li An's boss call, the two quickened their pace.

Lao Tang: "Then you participate in this competition on the job, it must be regarded as a business, the boss is not allowed to reimburse you for food, lodging and travel expenses?"

Li An smiled: "You will understand after you work."

After all, they are still students who have not entered the society. How can there be such a good thing in the world.

But having said that, Qin Yong gave him a paid vacation, which is considered a rare good boss.

But the other party called him so late, what's the matter?
