Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 246 241. Episode of the Man in Black
On the stage, Ang Lee sat directly in front of the piano, sat down, adjusted the piano bench and sitting posture, and then raised his hand to start practicing.

The whole practice process starts with the C major raised finger scale at about 70 beats, as he did before the competition.

Every time the piano sounded, it was like being hit by two iron leads, making a solid and strong sound.

Usually Ang Lee starts with this scale, which means that there will be a long and sometimes passionate warm-up.

In the half month since returning from the competition, today is the first time for Ang Lee to warm up.

There is no special purpose.

The concert will end at ten o'clock tonight, and it's time for him to return to his daily practice.

It's about the end of Ji Yang's art exam, or his return after a year, he can't say now, in short, he has to make a new practice plan.

From preparing for the competition to this concert, he has already stored a lot of content to practice in his mind.

For example, following Czerny 299, practice the subsequent advanced 740 from the beginning to the end again.

For example, continue to unlock Beethoven's piano sonatas that he has not yet mastered.

No matter how busy life was during the period, he thought he should add some piano works of modern composers such as Mussorgsky, Bartok, Prokofiev and so on.

Beethoven's works + modern works, this kind of interspersed practice is really a bit big in terms of time span.

Ang Lee didn't have any logical thinking in it.

Thousands of piano works are like a huge maze. Compared with half a year ago, he in early 2022 is only a little deeper.

And the price of a little taste is to feel more and more insignificant.

Even if it is his biggest technical weapon at present, finger running technology.

Under the guidance of many masters who are famous for their fingers, they can play kaleidoscopic sounds in clear and smooth phrases when they were young. When they turn on their mobile phones to listen to them anytime and anywhere, they will let him intuitively see those rich and varied sound changes.

With the same speed, the same composition, and the same youth, Ang Lee only felt that the phrases he played had only one sound effect.

Making comparisons with reference to the masters obviously gives people a picture of pebbles hitting stones, but it is undeniable that the masters also started on the road to extraordinary after seeing the piano for the first time.

What Ang Li wanted to know was what methods the masters used to make new breakthroughs in finger technology at this stage.

So no matter from the construction of personal music library or the improvement of personal skills, he still needs a teacher.

Feinberg's mutilated notes he had almost eaten.

Maybe he can get some good advice from Lin Youyou next.

After all, the opponent went through a systematic study in Vienna.

"when."

As a group of light chords disappeared from the air above the stage, Ang Lee got up and buckled the piano cover, and left the stage.

With four hours left before the concert, he ended his warm-up with infinite reverie.

Putting on the mask and scarf again and walking out of the red building, a small wind blew in the face, hitting the forehead directly, which made people sober up a lot.

The huge poster in front of the door was rattling, Li An looked over, and Beethoven on the poster was still so solemn in the cold wind, and he was not bad at the side, his behavior and demeanor were more sophisticated than when he was recording the final VCR.

If people who don't know it walk up to this poster, they will really mistakenly think that it is a concert of a famous performer.

It has been almost a week since the winter vacation, and the whole campus seems quiet.

Li An walked around, except for the small noodle shop and the supermarket next to the cafeteria, which were still open, the gate of the faculty community was bustling.

Many children carrying musical instruments came in and out of this gate. It is not difficult to guess that most of these children will enter the gate of the examination room of Rongcheng Institute on the 21st.

good luck.

As a graduate teacher, Li An sincerely wishes every child can pass their favorite professional exams smoothly.

But he knows that the final promotion tickets will only be distributed to a few people's pockets.

But he didn't find it cruel.

This is true in all walks of life.

From another perspective, children who can choose the art test path are already luckier than many people.

Returning to the Red Chamber Concert Hall, he found two more figures in front of the poster.

There are two students who look like students, the girl is carrying a black cello black bag, and the boy is empty-handed.

The conversation between the two was actually not loud, but because it was too quiet in front of the door, the wind blew their topic to Li An's ears and caught Li An's attention.

The two children were studying how to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the inner hall door at night.

This made our parties a little bit dumbfounded. Such a concert also needs to enter the country illegally?
But according to the procedure, if they don't have a ticket 15 minutes before the start of the concert, they will definitely not be able to get in.

Even if there are empty seats inside.

If they want to go in, they can only wait until after halftime.

That would miss the first half.

"Are you art candidates?"
-
The two people in front of the poster had already noticed the uninvited visitor not far away from the corner of their eyes.

The two turned around and looked around, only to see clearly the tall figure wrapped in black. He covered himself tightly with a mask, scarf and hat.

If you walk at night at night, you have to avoid such people in advance.

But it's daytime.

In the face of a stranger's glance, girls are more calm than boys.

Her gaze boldly met Ang Lee's black mask, and she replied generously and politely: "Well, do you have any questions?"

"I am a staff member here." Li An was very calm.

Hearing the word staff, the boy showed timidity.

The girl continued to show extraordinary courage, and immediately took two steps forward, explaining: "Brother, staff, we came from a long way away, and we just want to hear this concert, but we don't have tickets. I couldn’t buy a ticket, so I just wanted to sneak in, not deliberately trying to fish in troubled waters.”

He is a calm child, knowing that his words have been heard just now, and he didn't make too many sophistry.

Looking at the girl's flushed face, Li An asked, "Where are you from?"

Girl: "Fenghua Art School."

Li An hadn't heard of it before, and shook his head, "Is it a closed art test training class?"

The girl nodded: "That's right, in Shouchang District, the location is quite remote."

That's really out of the way, Li An estimated that it would take three hours to go back and forth.

So it's not a joke.

"It's ten o'clock after the concert, how do you two go back?"

"Two art candidates who live in the school. There are four days left for the art test. They are not practicing in the piano room to prepare for the test. They are running around. Does your teacher know what you are doing today? Your teacher knows that you will go back quickly at night. Is it twelve o'clock?"

Faced with a series of serious questions from Ang Lee, the boy tugged at the girl's arm with an expression uglier than constipation.

But the girl was not reconciled, she shook off the boy's hand, her eyes were full of stubbornness and she said: "We came here for a small class this morning. The teacher at the school knew that we didn't plan to go back to school tonight, so we stayed in the hotel across the road. We have to continue to have small lessons with the professors here, and this time we have a teacher leading the team."

"Really, we just wanted to see this concert."

Faced with such a confident tone and such a sincere performance, if Li An had just graduated, Li An would really believe it.

"There are no tickets for this concert, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Li An spread his hands.

"If you don't have a ticket, you won't be able to get in. Unless you're willing to wait until the second half, the gatekeeper may be in a good mood to let you in."

After hearing what the staff said, the girl still didn't give up. She felt that there must be a way for the staff to be here with them.

"Can you sell us two."

moment.

"One is fine."

One will do.

Li Ang's eyes fell on the cello on the girl's shoulder.

Apparently the other party was trying to help the fellow boy fight for the ticket.

"Sorry, there are no tickets for this concert."

At this time, the girl's stubborn little face finally showed a hint of disappointment.

The boy at the side couldn't stand anymore, and pulled the girl's arm in a low voice, "Yuanyuan, let's go back first, and see you later."

The girl called Yuanyuan reluctantly glanced at the track on the poster, the sadness was in the first half.

"Wait a moment."

The two just turned around and took two steps when the voice of the staff came from behind them.

How clever the children are now, you only need to look at the sparkling eyes of the girls when they turn their heads.

But Li An believed that the disappointment in the other party's expression just now was also true.

"Come here."

The two followed Li An to a sheltered corner.

"Now turn on the speakerphone and call your teacher who leads the team. If what you said is true, I will give you two tickets."

Li An didn't want to make things difficult for the two children, since he heard the two children conspiring in front of the poster, he decided to give the two of his last two tickets.

As a performer, this must be his first batch of offline fans, right?

But as a teacher, when he heard that the two children were art candidates and came from such a closed school so far away, he had to ask a few more questions.

Teachers always consider the safety of students.

In Ang Li's opinion, this is definitely not meddling in other people's business. After all, the two children came for his concert.

And it made him catch up.

As a result, the girl's words were full of doubts, and she was seriously suspected of lying.

It seems reasonable to say that there is a teacher who leads the team and stays in the hotel, creating a supervised atmosphere for group travel, and then you have to continue the class tomorrow morning. The art test is now, and it can't be more reasonable.

But the musical instrument case on her body betrayed her.

Classes in the morning, it's already afternoon, why are you still walking around with a huge piano case on your back, can't you put it in the hotel?

So from this point, it can be explained that the two children most likely did not open a hotel.

So this means that he doesn't know where the two of them are going after the concert at night.

Back to their own school?

Li An wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.

From his point of view, it is impossible for this suspected young couple to go back to school tonight.

Of course, all this is just his speculation.

So he needs two children to call the teacher who they said is leading the team, if what the girl said is true.

He just delivered the ticket and left.

It is perfectly normal and good for a child to want to go to a concert.

Ten seconds later.

The girl still hesitated and refused to call, Li An understood.

"What's going on, tell me the truth, or you won't have a single ticket."

Hearing the ticket, the girl scratched her head, and then it was a showdown.

As a result, Ang Lee guessed 80.00% wrong, except that it was true that there was no teacher leading the team.

The two children have to take small classes here in the morning for three consecutive days. The hotel has been booked a week in advance. The girl is carrying the instrument on her body because it is not at ease to put it in the hotel.

In order to prove that what she said this time is true, the girl even took out her room card.

As he said that, he wanted to show Li An the chat records between her and her school teacher.

Li An didn't need to look at it. This time, he believed that it would be unsafe to leave the musical instrument in the hotel. This statement was too true. During the time before his art test, many students around him who were taking the instrumental music exam were inseparable from the musical instrument.

"Your teacher is so relieved to let you come out to run classes by yourself."

The girl said nonchalantly: "It's been a while, the classmates in the class have left school for many years, and the teacher basically doesn't care about anything."

As she spoke, she felt that her tone seemed wrong, but thinking about what she said was true.

"We really just wanted to come to this concert, but we really didn't have any tickets. Each of the six of us left messages in three official accounts, but we didn't get any tickets."

Looking at the helpless expressions of the pair of classmates in front of him, coupled with the words in his ears, and thinking about those who won't come when they got a good position, Li An felt really uncomfortable.

He took out the last two tickets from his pocket, one of which was reserved for Zheng Haitao.

"These two don't sit side by side, you can see them together."

The boy's eyes lit up when he saw the ticket in Li An's hand, "Thank you."

The girl also kept saying thank you, no matter what time it is, thank God if you have a ticket, she doesn't dare to think about sitting in a row anymore.

He was about to reach out his hand, but he withdrew his hand again to meet Li An's serious gaze.

"Hurry up and go back to the hotel after the concert. I have an art test soon, and I have to go to class tomorrow. Don't go wandering around in other places."

Knowing the real situation of the two children, Li An was also relieved.

As he spoke, he handed over the ticket, and at this moment there was the sound of a car driving.

Then a black Buick stopped at the entrance of the Red House Concert Hall.

Fu Tianming got off the car, "Why are you here so early?"

Li An didn't have time to explain, "It's just in time for you to come here, bring two consecutive tickets."

Fu Tianming didn't understand the situation, but he quickly took out two tickets from his bag and walked up the steps in two steps.

Li An took the ticket from Fu Tianming and handed it to the girl.

"The concert is still three and a half hours away, so stop shaking."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner music hall, Fu Tianming hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

The two of them didn't walk more than three meters, and came from behind: "Thank you brother, staff!!"

Li An paused, raised his arms and waved his hands.
-
"Brother staff? Who is it?"

"I don't know either."

Li An recounted what happened just now.

Fu Tianming complained: "You are used to being a teacher, just like my mother, worrying about nothing."

"Most art candidates don't come here in this way. They may run around the country in a few days. When they go, they will not be responsible for eating, drinking and sleeping. Shouchang will go to Guangyuan to go there."

Li An smiled, and didn't entangle with the other party on this issue.

He did not deny the above words of Fu Tianming.

Who let him meet it.
-
The ninth floor of the Yudong office building.

Chen Xuan returned to the office after the teaching and research work meeting of the wind group, checked Li An's dress bag again, and then hurried to the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music.
