Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 356 57. Battle of Czerny

At 04:30 in the afternoon, Li An sent Hu Dabao and his son to the door.

Coincidentally, the door of Chen Xuan's classroom on the left was also pushed open, two people, one big, one small and three people looked around, only to see Chen Zitong walking out behind Chen Xuan.

When Chen Zitong saw Li An, his eyes bent into two crescent moons, and he chirped Teacher Li with a smile.

Li An deliberately raised his voice, "Hey, it looks like you didn't receive any training today?"

Chen Zitong immediately took Chen Xuan's arm, "Teacher Chen is reluctant to discipline me, hehe," he changed his voice, "It wasn't Teacher Chen who murdered me last week."

When Chen Xuan heard the second half of the sentence, she raised her hand and flicked Chen Zitong's forehead.

The little girl gave a cooperating ouch, and then only listened to her teacher Chen's warning, "Stop being so glib, next month's band quiz will be the chief, if you can't get the chief of the flute department by then, see what happens when I come down." Clean you up."

Chen Zitong suddenly put on a small face, "I promise to complete the task!"

Ang Lee came out again at this time, and asked with a smile, "What guarantee do you have? How many notes did you play wrong at the last concert?"

Chen Zitong sighed slightly, she was really to blame for the small accident on the stage of Kiki's Delivery Service last time, but she has a long memory after this time, and she will never let this happen again.

Neither defending nor showing weakness, Chen Zitong just replied, "Just wait and see.

Said his eyes wandered to Bawan in the corner, "then waved his hand, "Bye bye little Bawan, I will bring you ham sausage next time. "

Chen Xuan stopped it, "Also, don't bring food for it next time, do you hear me?"

Chen Zitong was not disappointed, "I heard you."

In a matter of ten seconds or so, the pair of teachers and students also came to the door.

Seeing this, Hu Kai thought about the child's family background and why he knew Li An and his wife so well, so he took the initiative to ask Li An how the girl came home, and he happened to drive over to give her a ride.

"Thank you uncle, my dad drove me here," Chen Zitong replied politely, "He is waiting for me at the door now."

Hu Kai didn't say any more, he greeted Li An and Chen Xuan and left with Hu Dabao. Chen Zitong seemed to be familiar with him, and he moved to the side of the father and son in two steps, bending down to face Hu Dabao. After muttering something, Hu Dabao was so frightened that he kept pushing towards Hu Kai.

This little girl.

Looking at the backs of the three leaving, Li An shook his head with a smile and closed the door.

There was finally a moment of peace at home.

The two people in the living room looked at me and I looked at you, and they both saw a trace of relief in each other's eyes.

"Doesn't Mr. Li calculate how much money he earned this week?"

"Forget it, forget it, my brain hurts."

After two consecutive days of class, he just wanted to relax his mind at the moment, and lay on his back on the sofa in two steps. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "What time is your appointment with Panpan?"

"07:30."

After speaking, Chen Xuan went back to the house and took out the flute, and went back to the living room to play twice.

The transparent high-pitched voices rushed to the roof one after another, frightening Bawan immediately leaned over and looked around for vigilance.

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with the state of the voice at the moment, put down the flute and looked at Li An, "Come directly?"

Li An squeezed out a forced smile, "Did you get bloody today?"

Chen Xuan shrugged and said indifferently, "Then you rest, I will practice by myself."

Li An groaned, leaned on the sofa and sat up, and when he passed by Chen Xuan, he let out a sound of anticipation, "I hope tonight will be smoother."

Well, Chen Xuan followed Li An into the study.

Li An entered the room and sat directly in front of the piano, while Chen Xuan picked up the music stand next to the bookshelf and walked to the window.

The two looked at each other, Li An felt that something was missing, and then reached out to press all the spotlight switches on the computer desk, and the atmosphere of the small study was immediately filled.

Facing the sudden lighting effect, Chen Xuan, standing in the focus of the light, smiled with one hand on her hip and asked herself if she wanted to change clothes and apply makeup?

Li An replied without looking back, and at the same time raised his hand and dropped his fingers to give a standard sound.

As the sound of the front of the piano sounded, Chen Xuan suddenly nodded her head slightly with her flute, her red lips grinned slightly, revealing a small slit, which was just aligned with the hole of the flute, her lower abdomen gasped for a moment, and the sound of the flute suddenly appeared, but the sound that came out was not Integrate with the sound of the piano.

The two sound waves in the air seemed to be arguing, the flute's voice was slightly higher, Chen Xuan then turned the flute head outwards, and played again, this time immediately got into the embrace of the piano sound.

The sound is ok, there is no extra words and jokes before rehearsal, the two look at each other, and they know that the other party is ready to take the position.

Seeing that Chen Xuan's eyes had calmed down, Li An turned his head to look at the music stand, and the piano score of the first measure in front of him was infinitely magnified in his mind.

After a few seconds, he exhaled lightly, then raised his hand.

"Dangdangdang——"

Hands rise and fall, and in a short time, the alternating sound from weak to strong is like the billowing smoke gradually rising at the end of the horizon. When the sound rises to the strongest, the model on the piano seems to be shaken slightly.

The piano part played first has already pulled up the mood of the music, and it is only waiting for the flute and cello to stand on the piano and continue to push the music up to a high level.

Three loud flute sounds pierced out of the heavy smoke, and there should be a cello part here, but even though there is no Wang Panpan at the moment, Chen Xuan still brings the music into a new world with her precise sound control ability.

Followed by the piano, a set of ascending arpeggios is like a spring breeze, followed by a set of crisp vibrato to completely render the music picture, like a boat floating on the sea, undulating with Weibo and rippling with the breeze.

Li An was feeling the feeling of flying in the sky, and a "sorry" interrupted his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" He stopped his fingers and looked at Chen Xuan, and the study room became quiet.

Chen Xuan stared at the score for a while, then seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to be seeking Li An's advice again, she shook her head and pursed her lips and said, "No, it's not right to deal with it this way, the voice will cover Panpan."

"I feel okay?"

Hearing what Chen Xuan said, Li An was also a little uncertain.

Although he felt that he was not bad at the beginning of this round, given Chen Xuan's vicious chamber music rehearsal experience, he would rather listen to the other party's thoughts first, "You have a high-pitched part and a low-pitched part. A problem with sounds fighting each other?"

Chen Xuan shook her head, "That's not the problem, the key lies in the sense of narrative at the beginning of the music, don't you think we still feel the same as the last time the night before yesterday?

Li An thought about it for sure, "You mean we should be lighter as a whole?"

"Not exactly," Chen Xuan was thinking about how to express herself, "For example, chamber music is not like some symphonies, which give people a sense of majesty at the beginning, it needs more, um—more I need it, let me think about how to say it."

Li An is not in a hurry.

After a while, Chen Xuan continued, "It needs a more eloquent tone, slowly and step by step. Although there are only three of us, each of us must express clearly through the instrument."

Chen Xuan motioned Li An to look at the score, and seeing the other party flipping through the score, she continued, "I wanted to talk about this issue the night before yesterday."

"The three of us may be too involved and too hard. You pay too much attention to the music structure, and to a certain extent ignore the alternation of parts. Panpan is too careful, and the sound dare not come out. I didn't do well, and I didn't do it in many places. Make a sound first and second."

"Like just here, my volume is louder again."

"Ms. Xiao said that in a chamber music work, the first meeting of all parts is very important, and each part must have its own personality and tone."

"You look back, then you go back to your voice, then you go back to your voice, then you go back to your voice, and then you go to me, and we play the same motif, and these three alternating motifs should have a sense of dialogue, and this dialogue does not end here It doesn’t appear, but it needs all three of us to appear the first time they sound at the same time.”

"Well, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Li Ang probably understood, "The place where we played in unison for the first time should give people a feeling of unison."

Chen Xuan's eyes brightened, "Yes, that's what it means. The expression of independent voices is very important in chamber music."

Speaking of which, Chen Xuan felt that she seemed to have gone too far. The three of them have not yet completed the preliminary co-production. She especially liked chamber music rehearsal classes when she was in college. Just now, during the simulation of the three-person rehearsal with Li An, she didn't realize it. brought into the past experience.

"It's okay, I really like listening to you talk about it, and I can learn a lot," Li An said confidently, "I didn't really participate in any serious rehearsals in college, except for playing steel for others. According to this statement, then the piano should use different timbres according to different contexts to create different musical atmospheres?"

Chen Xuan stretched out her thumb, "Ms. Xiao also said so."

What's so amazing, Li An smiled, with his piano playing experience, through Chen Xuan's guidance, can't he comprehend this thing?

The problem is that the reason is simple, but it is not easy to do.

When working with Yanjiao on the competition stage, he doesn't need to estimate anything. The entire orchestra is under the control of the conductor, and most of the time he goes with him.

But the situation is different now. Among the three parts, each part has to constantly switch the identities of the protagonist and supporting role during the music. As Chen Xuan said, the sense of dialogue between the parts is better than that of a symphony. , needs to be handled more delicately.

He gave an inappropriate example, like playing Bach's fugue, with two hands playing three parts or even four parts, which part is not important?
all important.

"Come on, continue."

In the small study room, the piano sounded again.

Chen Xuan obviously heard that the piano's timbre has noticed some subtle changes this time, but this is not the focus of her attention. You will find that the speed at the beginning of this time is almost the same as that of the previous time.

It sounds like Li An did understand what she meant just now, and made it in just one pass.

Not daring to be distracted, Chen Xuan continued to hold the flute.

After 1 minute, Ang Lee stopped the game this time.

Even if the general point of view has been unified, the two still have conflicts in the details, otherwise the night before yesterday would not have been so unsatisfactory, Wang Panpan really cannot be blamed.

Since Wang Panpan started rehearsing the night before, he didn't dare to breathe a few times, let alone talk.

The main ones are Li Ang and Chen Xuan. When it comes to music processing, these two people are sometimes as stubborn as donkeys.

That's it, two hours passed.

It was approaching seven o'clock, and they took bread and ham sausage to deal with two simple bites, then packed up and left home and rushed to Yudong.

On the way they were still arguing about the speed of a vibrato.

Ang Lee insisted that it should be fast. In his opinion, Czerny should be classified as a composer in the classical period, and the vibrato in this period should be played in a standardized way. It should be fast while maintaining the standard. This is the most basic style. elements.

Chen Xuan held the opposite view. She believed that most of Czerny's life was spent in the Romantic period, and his later creations were more completed under the entire romantic trend of thought, so the vibrato should be played more authentically.

Both opinions are well-founded, and neither can convince the other.

It is impossible for Li An to persuade Chen Xuan by saying that he knows Czerny better. Is it because he plays the piano?This is somewhat preposterous.

Moreover, he never expected that Chen Xuan would do so much homework on Czerny's background in private in order to rehearse this work, and he also praised the other party's attitude from the bottom of his heart.

In short, there is still time, and there is still one month before the final recording of the finished product, and it depends on who is persuaded by whom in the end.

At a quarter past seven, the two walked out of the elevator on the ninth floor, and the sound of a cello came from the direction of the west office.

At 07:30, the second platoon of the three officially started.

Before starting, Li An set a small goal.

"Tonight we strive to pull out the complete repertoire first, and hand in the homework this week, and then we will polish it carefully."
-
Wang Panpan, who had practiced hard for two days, finally found some feeling tonight. In addition, Chen Xuan and Li An changed their rehearsal strategy, so compared to Friday night, the rehearsal of the three tonight was much smoother.

Especially on the issue of communication and discussion, even if there are some conflicts and conflicts, the three of them will not force them to resolve them on the spot, which greatly improves the efficiency of platooning.

Two hours later, the three ended today's rehearsal with a complete performance.

Ang Lee learned from the rehearsal experience of the day before yesterday, and lowered his psychological expectations tonight. After the rehearsal, he felt that he had gained more.

The most gratifying thing is that the three seem to be able to communicate.

"Yes, continue tomorrow night."

Qin Yong did not attend the morning meeting the next day, and the old Dong presided over the whole process.

At the meeting, the old director arranged the work of the new week one by one, and then announced the evaluation results of the excellent teachers in the Yudong Campus last week, and finally emphasized the work of the community class, requiring every teacher to make a record of each lesson and a report for each lesson , his expression was more majestic than before, and his words were less polite.

Most people can intuitively feel the changes that happened to Old Dong.

It's just that Li An and the three of them were all focused on the platoon, and they didn't pay much attention to what Old Dong said at the meeting.

After the meeting ended, the three continued to discuss together.

This state lasted for three days, with discussions during the daytime and rehearsals in the evening. At first, only the other three people in the west office knew what was going on. Gradually, word spread throughout Yudong. Lin Pengfei said in his office yesterday afternoon: Three People are making big moves!

People asked: What a big move!

Phineas: I guess it's rehearsing an important work.
-
Three days later, at 09:30 on Thursday night, classroom four.

At a glance, there is a flute on the piano and a cello leaning against the window sill, showing that the rehearsal has just ended.

In the office, the three of them crowded in front of Ang Li's phone, staring at the screen intently.

Judging from the expressions of the three of them, they were quite satisfied.

After the video was played, Li An put away his phone, and Wang Panpan stretched out his arms, "Tomorrow is Thursday again."

Chen Xuan smiled and corrected, "Tomorrow is Friday."

Wang Panpan was taken aback: "This week is over!?"

Li An didn't expect this week to pass so quickly. He was supposed to submit the video to Qin Yong yesterday, but it was delayed until today.

Fortunately, this time the recording is not bad.

Click Send.

After sending the video to Qin Yong, Li An suggested that the three of them should go to celebrate. This proposal immediately received unanimous responses from the two daughters.

Ang Lee asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat barbecue!" Wang Panpan was rather shy.

Chen Xuan was more straightforward: "I want to eat meat."

No one knows exactly how the three of them got here these days.

Anyway, Li An lost three catties.

"Set off."

Walking out of the office building, the evening wind became more and more gentle, and there was a familiar smell in the air.

April is here, can May be far behind?
Will summer be far behind?

It was another year before midsummer, Li An was sighing in his heart, when Wang Panpan's voice came from the front, "Boss, hurry up!"

He immediately put away his thoughts and followed with a smile.
