Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 376 77. The blown balloon, the Three Musketeers officially debut
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Che Lin's father sighed inwardly, and then hurriedly took the words: "Mr. Li, it's just at the gate of my community, and it's only two steps away after going out. In this way, Mr. Li, see if you have time tonight, tomorrow That's fine, or if you see when you have time, I'll arrange it."

Ang Lee: "You misunderstood me, I mean"

This time, Che Lin's father interrupted Li An, "It's not Teacher Li, I understand, what do I mean? I sent her to the elevator and told her to pay attention to safety on the way home from class. As parents, we listened and watched but didn’t show anything. I’m really ashamed. Teacher Li, please give me a chance this time and let me do the same. express express."

"You see, you've gone too far. I like Che Lin very much." Li An paused, "Well, didn't she participate in two competitions? Let's wait for her first blue sky competition to end, and then I'll go with you, I don't care how you arrange it, it's all up to you."

Che Lin's father nodded repeatedly, clasped his fists and said loudly, "Okay, okay, Mr. Li, I won't disturb your class."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Che Lin, "Linlin, listen to the teacher carefully, after class, you go back to the store first, and I will leave first."

After explaining to his daughter, he looked at Li An again, "Miss Li, you are busy."

Seeing Che Lin's father leaving with a nod and bow, Li An remembered that when Lao Li took him to Mr. Qi's class, Lao Li did the same every time, just begging for help.

When he was young, he didn't understand, but when he was older, he understood. After understanding, he had to say that he didn't like it very much.

But there is no way, probably the class society is like this, Xiaobei’s mother is a teacher in a key primary school, Xiao Liu’s father is a technician from the Geological Bureau, Xiaohu’s mother doesn’t know, but before resigning, he must at least be a white-collar worker, Ma Ke’s father He is a civil servant, and in the process of communicating with these four parents, he has never seen anyone as "polite" as Che Lin's father.

Of course, maybe it's just that he knows too few people and is superficial.

In his opinion, Che Lin's father's visit today reveals an attitude that human affection is more important than children's learning.

He reasonably speculated that if it wasn't for the metronome, the other party wouldn't have made the trip in person today.

Parents who value their children's learning should be Xiaobei's mother, Xu Li, Song Sheng and Hu Kai. Not only do they come to send their children to him for classes on weekends on a regular basis, but they often send some videos or ask about their children's practice.

"warm up."

Li An said, turned and walked to the window, and after a while, fluent scales sounded behind him.

Listening to the scale, he stared at the area downstairs at the gate. About a minute later, he saw Che Lin's father riding a black electric bike towards the west of the street.

He wasn't sure how busy it was to open a small restaurant, maybe it was busier than he thought.

Too busy to wait for an extra hour to accompany the children home after class.

As Che Lin put away her hands, the classroom became quiet again.

"Come on, Quzi."

Li An came back behind Che Lin, "Relax and pay attention to your speed."

Che Lin raised her hand, ran through the problem of sending the pedals that the teacher emphasized in the previous class, and then dropped her finger.
-
After another week of practice, Che Lin has played this piece to seven points, and has mastered and stabilized the speed no matter from the completeness of the whole piece or the technical essentials involved in each variation.

At least Ang Lee thinks so after listening to it this time.

not bad.

But the next step is not so easy. If the full score of this song is set as [-], then Che Lin is still three points away, and each of these three points is no longer easy to get.

"Che Lin, what is a theme variation?"

Ang Lee raised this question again.

"There is a theme, and then variations appear one after another around this theme. The point is that each variation contains the theme."

Che Lin repeated Ang Lee's answer from the previous class.

Ang Lee: "The memorization is good. There is a close connection between the theme and each variation, right?"

Che Lin: "Yes."

Ang Lee: "So, do each variation also need a close connection?"

Che Lin thought for a while: "Yes."

Ang Lee: "One after another, the variations appear one after another. Shouldn't there be an accumulation of musical emotions during this process?"

Che Lin hurriedly took out her little red pen and was about to write it down, but Li An told her not to worry.

"Do you know where the problem was this time?"

Che Lin understood, but she couldn't organize her words well, "It's just that the first variation was raised too loudly."

Ang Lee: "So when you want to make the volume louder later, you find that you can't do anything."

Che Lin nodded: "Yeah, that's what I mean, teacher."

Li Ang: "You don't need to remember this, just understand it in your heart. The next practice should be with a sense of accumulating emotions. Do I mean abstract?"

Che Lin: "Understand the teacher, it's like blowing up a balloon, blowing it up little by little, and blowing up the balloon at the end."

I wiped it, I learned it, Li An laughed: "It's very vivid, that's what it means, I found that your imagination is good."

Che Lin grinned slightly.

"But that's not the point of our class." Li An patted Che Lin on the shoulder, turned around and took a sip from the water glass, "It's hard to grasp things like emotions, let alone your age, some people have learned it all their lives. understand."

Round, "But we must clarify the existence and importance of emotions in our piano performance. Don't worry, this problem will be solved little by little."

"Now turn to the third variation, look at the left hand."

Che Lin turned to the third variation, Li An said: "From this week on, this variation does not need to add pedals, the requirement for the left hand remains the same, you must hear every note clearly, remember."

After Che Lin finished writing, Li An continued, "Look at the fifth variation."

"Come and see"

"You have made it to the gap between the jump with the hold sound and the next jump, but it is not enough. I emphasized this place in the last class. There must be a clear disconnect between the jumps, and there must be In the right rhythm."

"Here you must always be sober. The sustain tone is just an emphasis on this tone. Remember, it is just an emphasis."

"Emphasis cannot violate our basic playing method. You will understand more after seeing more, especially in fast passages. Most of the time, sustaining the sound is not performed by us consciously, but a kind of muscle habit. As long as you Keep it in your mind as you play, and it will come naturally as you pass by.”

Che Lin didn't wait for the teacher to demonstrate, and directly raised her hand to replay this passage.

Clear, emphatic, rhythmic breaks between jumps.

Li An was a little proud, he got it right, and he didn't need to demonstrate, so he affirmed, "That's what it means."

Che Lin: "Teacher, I practiced like this before."

Ang Lee: "Huh??"

Che Lin explained: "I think it sounds good when I play it that way, so I just played it that way."

"Uh." Li An twitched his eyebrows, wondering if that's the case, he thought it sounded good, so he didn't follow the score, um
For a while, he didn't know how to answer this question. He couldn't directly deny the question that the child thought it sounded good. What's more, the other party did what he asked for. within the scope.

"You can play according to your own ideas, and I will listen."

After Che Lin finished playing, Li An thought for a while, "You are practicing both styles for the time being, I will think about it later, and I will practice again. I haven't practiced this piece as much as you have. I have only touched it two or three times. "

"Ah?" Che Lin opened her mouth wide, her small face full of disbelief. He thought that every piece the teacher taught her had practiced many times.

"Ah what, let me tell you in secret, I haven't played some of the pieces you played before." Seeing Che Lin's even more surprised expression, Li An smiled, and then drew her attention back, "This place is like this for the time being. , let's look at the next variation now."

Both the teacher and the student looked at the left-hand score of Variation 32. The dense [-]nd notes gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Probably got a little secret from a teacher, and Che Lin also wanted to share a little secret of her own.

"Teacher, I've been practicing this place in Chinese class."

Ang Lee: "...you put your left hand on your lap and bounce your second finger and index finger back and forth, right?"

Che Lin hehe: "As you play, count in your heart the method you told me, and then the get out of class will be over soon."

Li Ang: "...Don't do this in the future, without the feedback of the strength of the keyboard rebound, it is meaningless for you to practice so empty."

Che Lin: "Huh?"

Ang Li: "Also, you're about to enter junior high school. Although your grades improved last semester, you still have to work hard. Do you hear me?"

Che Lin: "Well, I got it, teacher."

Ang Lee: "Let's continue. There is no problem with your finger technique here. What is the problem? The volume of the right hand is covered by the left hand, and the upper melody is not clear. Variations are just another way of presenting the theme. We must not be complicated. Variations of Interfering Forget This."

After speaking, he bent down and motioned again. "That's it, the upper and lower levels are orderly."

After talking about a few variations, Li An set aside time for Che Lin to digest and practice on her own.

In a moment he will talk about the key point of this lesson, which is also the key point of this piece, a relatively large technical difficulty, the right-hand major chord that appears in the seventh variation.

From a physiological point of view, chord technique is more like an adult technique, which requires strength and the support of a large hand frame, and requires an understanding of how to use the strength of the upper body to finally land the key.

Che Lin has big hands and strong comprehension skills, but her strength is limited by age and gender, which makes Ang Lee a headache.

In Che Lin's words, Variation [-] is where the work needs to blow up the balloon.
-
"Wow—"

At the same time, Hai City Conservatory of Music.

The applause in the concert hall on the first floor was not too loud, but it was not bad, after all, considering that only a small half of the seats in the concert hall were filled.

Lao Tang blew up the balloon on the stage just now, and performed Chopin's first ballad wonderfully, especially the fast six degrees at the end, which almost made Wu Fusheng, who was listening to the backstage entrance, take off from the spot.

The teachers and brothers in the audience could see that after the Xinghai competition, Lao Tang worked harder than before.

But only he knew the details, how did Lao Tang spend the past few months for this graduation concert.

Everything was worth it, now he had to go on stage and say something to Lao Tang.

Picking up two bouquets of flowers at the side, holding the blue flowers in his left hand and the purple flowers in his right hand, Wu Fusheng walked onto the stage amid applause.

His appearance made the atmosphere of the whole concert hall more enthusiastic.

Lao Tang, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help grinning, and took the flowers and Wu Fusheng's open hands.

The two embraced.

Wu Fusheng asked in his ear, "Are you sure?"

"Thank you, Brother Sheng."

Lao Tang is grateful to Wu Fusheng for his daily company in the last month, allowing him to successfully complete this concert.

"No thanks, do me a favor."

Lao Tang was taken aback for a moment, then showed a bitter expression, "Bie Ge, I really can't persuade her, don't you know what kind of temper she has?"

Wu Fusheng: "There's no need to persuade us, the three of us will go together, anyway, you'll be fine after the concert, so take it as a vacation for yourself."

Lao Tang thinks about it, but it is a way, and he has not been to Rongcheng yet: "Then let's take a trip to Rongcheng?"

Wu Fusheng let go of his arms and turned around, looked at the audience, smiled and said, "Let's go."

The two bent down together.

Everyone in the audience knows that the duo on stage have been inseparable for seven years in college, and those who are a little older still know that this duo used to be a trio, and one of them graduated from a bachelor's degree and went abroad. return.

The three of them used to have a well-known group name, the Three Musketeers of Qinfanglou.

The third child of the Three Musketeers, the one who just returned to China, is called Jin Jiaqi.

This one is incredible. Back then, she interviewed for the violin major in the Orchestral Department of Haishi Conservatory of Music. In fact, everyone in the know knows that Jin Jiaqi got offers from two foreign conservatories before graduating from high school, but in the end she chose to study in Haicheng Conservatory of Music again. Stayed for four years.

With a bow and a curtain call, Lao Tang bid farewell to his study career in Haiyuan.

When he returned to the backstage, he was relaxed, and he would go up to play an encore after a while, and the rest would be done after the defense.

Walk into the lounge, put down the two bouquets in your arms, and pick up the card on the purple bouquet.

It read: I'm sorry, Master, I won't return tonight if I'm not drunk.

Old Tang Xinxiao is a brother, so polite, he has no regrets about Jin Jiaqi's absence today, when he had his first graduation concert last year, he flew back from France to help him, and everyone was busy graduating at the time .

In addition, he knew that without Wu Fusheng, he would not be able to grow up to be such a truly proud son of heaven.

Back then, Jin Jiaqi chose to stay in China to study her undergraduate degree because of Wu Fusheng. This matter almost caused two old men from the piano and orchestra department to fight.

Dangdang.

Lao Tang looked over, the door was pushed open, Wu Fusheng poked his head in, "Get ready to go back, I won't wait for you, go upstairs first, otherwise Lao Zheng will have to say I have no conscience."

In the concert hall on the second floor, Jin Jiaqi was running backstage to help a junior in her Zheng family class prepare for the last graduation concert.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Jiaqi."

"Hmph, come on later, Xiao Baibai."
-
Che Lin didn't expect to have potato chips after class, although she still didn't play the seventh variation well in class.

After washing her hands and coming out of the bathroom, she took the potato chips from Li An, "Thank you teacher."

"You're welcome, you can eat now."

On the way Li An sent Che Lin to the elevator, Che Lin obediently tore open the potato chips, and when she reached the elevator door, she threw the packaging plastic scraps into the trash can.

Li An stepped forward and pressed the elevator on the first floor.

"teacher."

"Ok?"

Che Lin was thinking about how to prevent the teacher from going to her house for dinner, but she didn't know what to say.

"What's the matter, little car, why don't you eat?"

Che Lin took out a piece of potato chips and fed it into her mouth, and took two bites.

The elevator stopped on the ninth floor, she went up, turned around and waved to Li An, "Goodbye, teacher."

"be careful on the road."

Outside the elevator door, Li An also waved his hand and sent the car back to the classroom. He took out his mobile phone and found Wu Fusheng's message 2 minutes ago.

Wu Fusheng: Are there any arrangements for May Day?
-
Not long after, Wang Xiaohu also received a message.

A message he had never dreamed of.

Just three seconds ago, Wang Xiaohu, who was in a team battle, saw a message pop up from the top of the screen. He subconsciously glanced at it, and then exited the game in seconds.

Remarks Lin's QQ is very concerned about friends asking him:

'are u there? '
