Please, come home and practice the piano

The new shape of the car not only stunned Wu Fusheng, it can be said that from the moment she entered the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music, she became the most beautiful kid on the campus.

So much so that she once again became the focus of the contestants during the lottery backstage.

She doesn't like this feeling very much, like she is some strange creature.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui were by her side.

When it was the turn of the three to draw lots, Liu Fengrun urged Wang Xiaohu to go first.

Just go up!

In order to show his courage in front of Che Lin, Wang Xiaohu reached out and touched a number strip without saying a word.

Pulling it out and looking at it, I felt a little dizzy, this luck is out of luck, ".Okay."

Che Lin asked, "What's the date?"

Che Lin's initiative comforted Wang Xiaohu. He raised his left hand and made a scissors hand next to his ear.

Liu Fengrui was surprised: "yeah?"

Wang Xiaohu wondered if you were stupid: "Two!"
-
After half an hour.

Jiangbei Plaza.

Lin Youyou stopped in front of a two-storey cafe near the river.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lao Tang sitting in the corner of the window waving to her. He thought that the other party had been watching out the window and had already seen him.

She then looked left and right at Lao Tang, but did not see Wu Fusheng.

After a few steps to the table, Lao Tang had already stood up, "I'm very sorry for making you make a trip today."

"It's okay." Lin Youyou motioned Lao Tang to sit down, "What would you like to drink?"

Lao Tang: "What would Mr. Lin drink, I'll have some."

Seeing that Lao Tang didn't sit down, Lin Youyou was not polite, "Thank you Bing American," he said, putting down his bag and sitting down first.

Lao Tang called the waiter and ordered two glasses of iced Americano, then sat down and asked, "Does Teacher Lin have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Lin Youyou answered truthfully: "Yes."

Lao Tang: "Want to watch the game? The game seems to have already started."

There is nothing to watch in the preliminary round, Lin Youyou plans to wait until tomorrow's final.

For a moment, "Speak up if you have anything to say."

"Okay." Lao Tang wanted to say a few more words of greeting, but seeing Lin Youyou being so direct, he seemed a little petty, "Teacher Lin, can I ask you two questions first?"

Lin Youyou: "No problem, but I can refuse to answer."

Lao Tang: "Of course, what do you think of Wu Fusheng?"

Lin Youyou: "Very talented, I appreciate his Bach performance."

Lao Tang: "Other than that?"

Lin Youyou: "Other than that, I haven't had much contact with him, so I can only say that the overall impression is not bad."

Lao Tang: "He likes you, do you know that?"

Lin Youyou: "Too general."

Lao Tang nodded: "Then let me change the way. If he confesses his love to you, is there any chance of success?"

Lin Youyou: "He's not my type."

Lao Tang: "So I can understand that he has no chance."

Lin Youyou: "Yes."

Lao Tang felt relieved when he heard this, it seemed that Lin Youyou didn't have any special feelings for Wu Fusheng.

Then the next step is to find a way to get the other party to help cut off Wu Fusheng's thoughts.

At this time, the waiter brought two cups of coffee, "Please take your time, both of you."

Lao Tang picked it up and drank half a sip, the sourness was unbearable, he still couldn't figure out what was so good about this stuff.

The topic changed, "Mr. Lin is so outstanding, he must be very popular when he was studying in Vienna."

Old Tang was really right.

"It's okay," Lin Youyou stirred the cup with a spoon for a while, "I didn't like cuddles very much when I was in Vienna."

Lao Tang stretched out his thumb: "Concentrate on academic research."

Lin Youyou smiled: "That's even more out of the question."

Lao Tang: "Mr. Lin is modest."

Lin Youyou: "Any more questions?"

Old Tang: "."

The face-changing speed was too fast, one second she was still smiling, and the next second she seemed to be seeing off a guest.

After a pause, "Are you interested in hearing a story?"

Lin Youyou: "Please tell me."
-
Another half hour later.

"Wow—"

Applause welcomes the seventh contestant in this group.

In the concert hall on the first floor of Rongyuan, the competition was going on in an orderly manner.

After all, it is the most important competition in Rongcheng area.

Just listening to the performances of the top six players, the average level is much higher than that of the Blue Sky Cup.

This can be reflected in the selection of songs and the quality of the players.

The repertoire played by the seventh contestant is Chopin's posthumous waltz in A minor.

It is true that, in terms of sheet music technology alone, compared with the top six contestants, the ballet played by Wang Xiaohu is simpler than this work.

Among many Chopin works, the posthumous work in A minor can only be regarded as an entry-level Chopin waltz.

But it is such a small piece of Chopin's work, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

There are two musical images in the piece, one in A minor and the other in C major.

One melancholy, one bright.

The two musical images that fill the phrases are always one asking questions and the other answering.

The free flow of music between the dialogues is the essence of this work.

On the whole, the seventh young contestant still grasped this point, playing a sense of dialogue between phrases, and also with some free-speed processing.

It can also be seen from this that the teacher has worked hard in the guidance process.

It is a pity that in terms of the timbre processing of the work, the young contestant did not use a deep-touch key to play, resulting in a lack of singing in the music.

And the processing traces are too blunt, resulting in a large area of ​​rhythm instability throughout the performance.

Still work.

After the song was played, little contestant No. [-] stood up and bowed.

The audience applauded again.

Ang Lee scored 76 points for this kid.

From what he heard, let's not talk about the rhythm issue, just talk about the voice, the child's voice is basically played on the wrist.

Objectively speaking, the child's voice was blocked and he did not relax.

To be more straightforward, it is far inferior to the current Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu is already a low-level existence among the top six young players, but the overall presentation of this child's work is much worse than Wang Xiaohu's.

It's not that Wang Xiaohu didn't play well.

There is no problem with Xiaohu's performance, Li An is very satisfied, but this is a competition.

As the seventh young player exits, the eighth young player enters the stage.

The applause suddenly doubled.

All the judges are also looking forward to the appearance of this little guy.

Cai Fengnian, Chen Wenchang's proud student and the most vocal player in this group, is Cai Fengnian.

Cai Fengnian is not tall, wearing a slightly too long black tuxedo and a pair of black-framed round glasses, he looks a little mature.

Bow down and sit down, adjust the height of the piano bench, every movement is very natural, at first glance, it is a "veteran" with rich experience in the field.

If these appearances are not enough to explain the problem, please take a look at the score book. The repertoire prepared by Cai Fengnian for this round of preliminary competition is also a Chopin work——

op10.no4, torrent etude.

bomb field.

Before Cai Fengnian started playing, these two words popped up in Li An's mind.

It stands to reason that this work should appear in the professional group of a higher age group.

listen to it.

Li An wanted to see with his own eyes the level of this kid who could qualify for next year's Little Admiralty and successfully enter the High School Attached to Huayuan.

Cai Fengnian, who had done all the preparations, was not in a hurry to start.

Like the judges and audience in the audience, he would not be in a hurry, sitting in front of the piano like a small bell, motionless.

Suddenly, he moved.

Lift your hands up and down quickly.

"when-"

It was like a muffled thunder exploding in the air above the stage, and then a series of fast runs moved forward in an orderly and uniform speed under his small hands.

Explosive.

The speed is stable.

The voice is clear.

Fingertips are full of grain.

After the first four measures were played, everyone at the scene was amazed.

This is clearly a little pianist.

Huo Xiaodong, who was in the middle of the judges' table, looked not serious, but Cai Fengnian's progress made him really unexpected.

The last time he heard this kid play the piano was last spring, and Cai Fengnian had already played half of Chopin.

Compared with what he heard last year, Cai Fengnian's performance this year is much more mature, and his running skills have also improved significantly.

Great.

But this kid's playing has one more problem than before.

right arm.
-
Wu Fusheng heard this problem when Cai Fengnian was doing the right hand down for the first time.

There are two extra accents in the running that are not easy to be noticed.

He couldn't be strict with such a child.

At the same time, he was also a little surprised that this child's level was basically at the average level of the first grade of their school's attached middle school.

I think this should be regarded as the ceiling of technology in Rongcheng.

But how could such a small movement of right arm eversion appear so frequently?

For the first time, it can be understood that the body is very hot, but the song is almost over, he counted, Cai Fengnian's right arm has everted five times, all when doing descending sentences.

What does this mean?
This shows that this child has this playing habit.

This is not a small problem, and the teacher must correct it in time.

It's even harder to change if you don't let the child wait for another two years of practice.

Take this torrent as an example, the frequent stress on the right thumb is caused by this reason.

If things go on like this, the power balance of the five fingers of the right hand will definitely become uneven.

He can be sure of that.

The teacher has to pay attention, don't delay on this issue for such a good seedling.
-
It took Ang Lee only [-] bars to go from being amazed to plain.

Children have no music.

Regardless of the problem with his right arm, he couldn't feel Cai Fengnian's emotions when he played the torrent.

Not even dull.

Technology can take time to hone, but music is sometimes said to be too metaphysical.

He also doesn't want to be defined by too many emotional expressions on a child.

In short, he doesn't like Cai Fengnian's performance at this stage.

"Wow——————————"

Cai Fengnian made a beautiful sound on the stage, and there was a wave of applause on the scene.

Ang Lee scored 96 points behind Cai Fengnian's name.

He is almost certain that this is the highest score that can be scored in the preliminary stage.

He may not like it, but this is the game.

There is no doubt that the torrent played by Cai Fengnian can beat 99% of the players in the same group.

The applause was about to fall, but Chen Wenchang's students seemed to be cheering for the younger brother, so there was another round of applause.

Cai Fengnian bowed again on the stage.

Xiao Che, who witnessed Cai Fengnian's performance in the background, gave a soft admiration from the bottom of his heart.

After listening to Cai Fengnian's performance, she realized that there are such amazing classmates.

She was completely stunned by the opponent's miraculous running speed.

There is also such an etude. It turns out that the left and right hands can cooperate in this way.

After listening to less than one-third of the contestants, she has already memorized three pieces that she wants to practice.

Especially that Chopin's waltz in A minor, like two people dancing on the skyline at dusk.

Thinking of the teacher telling her that she can start learning Chopin's waltz in the summer vacation, Xiao Che couldn't help being happy.

But Xiao Liu who was standing beside Che Lin was not happy at all.

Although he knew that the players of the same age who came to participate in the Rongcheng Cup must be very good, but he really didn't expect that there would be such a strong player.

He thought that Che Lin was already good enough. After listening to Cai Fengnian's performance, there were only four words left in his mind, dimensionality reduction strike.

It's not a world at all.

He rarely felt a little nervous when he thought that he would be on stage and play in front of several sets of cameras.

The self-confidence of the past is now gone.

The only sense of faith he had left was because Che Lin was standing beside him.

"Cherin."

When Cai Fengnian finished and walked away from the two, Xiao Liu called Che Lin in a low voice.

Che Lin turned her face: "Huh?"

Xiao Liu: "Are you nervous?"

Che Lin: "Nervous."

Xiao Liu: "."

It's over, even Che Lin is nervous.

"The next player on stage—"

The game continues.
-
At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, Jiangbei Square ushered in the first regular weekend after the May Day, and the colorful neon lights once again lit up the night sky of the city.

Inside the window, Lin Youyou's second cup of coffee has bottomed out.

Rather than saying that the coffee is delicious, it is better to tell a good story.

"Any more?"

She asked Lao Tang.

Lao Tang really didn't want to use the three words "drained dry" to describe himself at the moment, but he really didn't know what details he left behind.

Regarding the story of Wu Fusheng and Jin Jiaqi, he has already told the story from the initial scene of how the two did not know each other to the peaceful dinner table at noon today, and the time span is 14 years.

"Gone?"

Lin Youyou asked again.

Lao Tang smiled wryly, "It's over."

"Hold on."

"After lunch, Jin Jiaqi asked Qi Guojuan to go shopping, and Wu Fusheng went to watch the game by himself."

"I don't know if that counts as part of the story."

a long time.

Lin Youyou sighed quietly.

"Forget it."

Rather than saying that the story is nice, it is better to say that she was moved by everything that happened to Jin Jiaqi from the beginning of the story.

She seems to have found the shadow of another person in this story. They have different personalities but have similar experiences.

Jin Jiaqi's story is hard not to resonate with her to some extent.

So that in the process of Laotang's narration, she always hoped that there would be a reverse ending at the end of the story, even though she knew there was no, even though she kept asking if there was any more.

"So why tell me such a story today?"

Lin Youyou felt that it was time to go back to the beginning.

Lao Tang smiled, looked out of the window and said in a reminiscing tone: "Probably I am a little older than the two of them, you know, the three of us can be said to have grown up together since childhood, although sometimes I am called Brother Wu Fusheng, Wu Fusheng has Sometimes they call me brother, but in my heart, they are like younger brothers and sisters."

"Every time they get into trouble, it's me who wipes their butts. Hey, sometimes I hate them, but looking back, brother and sister."

"I hope they can continue to live happily and heartlessly like this."

"But this time I can't help it."

Lao Tang looked back as he said, "Thank you, for listening to me so much."

Lin Youyou: "You're welcome, and thank you for sharing such a special story."

Lao Tang: "Is it very special?"

Lin Youyou: "Yes."

Lao Tang sighed: "Maybe, most people probably don't have this experience."

Lin Youyou looked out of the window, the shadow reflected on the glass was chuckling.
