Please, come home and practice the piano

In order to work overtime for his children, Ang Lee could only miss the opening ceremony of this music festival.

But no regrets either.

As Chen Xuan said, the opening ceremonies of domestic music festivals are indeed not interesting, not all, but at least a considerable part.

If there is no music in the opening ceremony of the music festival, is it still considered the opening ceremony of the music festival?
Some domestic music festivals seem to have followed a tradition of having a meeting beforehand. The bigger the event, the bigger the venue will be.

While Li An was giving lectures to six children, the first Chengdu Summer International Music Festival, co-sponsored by the Chengdu Cultural Bureau, the Tourism Bureau, and the Chengdu People's Government, opened at the city hall less than two kilometers away from the Chengdu Concert Hall. .

The scene is very grand.

At the opening ceremony, Fang Yongbo, chairman of the Chengdu Summer International Music Festival Organizing Committee, delivered a speech and announced the opening of the festival.

Later, Wu Yiwen, deputy mayor of Chengdu and honorary chairman of the BJ International Music Festival Organizing Committee, attended and delivered a speech.

Fang Yongbo said in his speech that the Chengdu Summer International Music Festival came into being in the context of continuously promoting cultural and artistic exchanges between China and foreign countries, enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the people, and satisfying the people's yearning for a better life.

He hopes that in the context of the new era, the Summer International Music Festival in Chengdu can keep pace with the times and further expand its international influence.

Through exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations, we can tell the story of China well, spread the voice of China, and present a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China in an all-round way.

Make new contributions to China's participation in the world and the world's understanding of China.

Wu Yiwen said in his speech that in the past 20 years, Chengdu has always led the development of the classical music industry in Southwest China. Based on the present, it has the courage to explore and innovate boldly, setting standards for the industry and providing a feast of music and art to the audience.

She hopes that with the Chengdu Summer International Music Festival as a new starting point, the literary and artistic circles in Chengdu can continue to carry forward the spirit of the times and add further help to promote the cultural construction of China.

"Wow——————"

According to reports from on-site reporters, the artists and teams participating in the first Summer Music Festival in Chengdu came from [-] countries around the world.

In the next ten days, more than 20 performances covering symphony, opera, vocal music, chamber music, percussion and other categories will be held, as well as activities such as master classes, concert tours and dialogues.

On the way to Lin Guoguo's house in the evening, Li An's circle of friends was flooded with messages.

It made him a little excited.

After all, he is from Chengdu now, and as an insider, he certainly hopes that the music culture in Chengdu will develop better and better.

"Xiao Yu also got in."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Li An visited Sun Yuman's circle of friends.

Copywriting: I really don’t like it.

The accompanying picture shows two red nail clippers holding a work ID card, with the title of this music festival printed on the work ID card.

Just give it a thumbs up.

"Brother-in-law is handsome again."

"Haha, come in quickly, Xiao Chen, what did you bring for dinner?"

"Hello, brother-in-law."

"teacher!"

"Ouch Guoguo."

Wei Fangyuan had a rest today and cooked a table of dishes.

One thing is that Wei Fangyuan knew that her cooking skills were average, but Chen Xuan's food was particularly delicious.

This made Wei Fangyuan very happy and kept picking up food for Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan gained five pounds after eating one meal.

After the meal, the four of them came to the living room to chat. Li An wanted to interrupt several times to ask about the wind instrument competition, but Wei Fangyuan took him back.

Seeing this, he no longer forced himself, thinking to himself, wait until next time.

Lin Yan: "So you two will leave in a few days."

Ang Lee: "Yes, Chen Xuan's flight ticket for the [-]th has been booked. It's time for me to pack up after the performance and set off."

Lin Yan nodded and looked at Chen Xuan: "Brother-in-law doesn't know music, so I wish you good results and ask your sister to help you when you come back."

Chen Xuan was a little overwhelmed by this scene and could only nod her head: "Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you sister."

Wei Fangyuan laughed and said, "Why are you so polite as a family? I heard from An An that your parents are also going this time?"

Chen Xuan: "Yeah, they will go there in the second half."

At this time, Lin Guoguo ran over angrily, "Will you let me go or not?"

Wei Fangyuan immediately became serious: "Guoguo, you are not allowed to talk to adults like this."

Lin Guoguo then coquettishly lay in Li An's arms, "Teacher, I want to go too, just take me there."

Li An had considered taking Lin Guoguo with him from the beginning, but Guoguo was too small. He also asked Teacher Wei, who said directly no.

When I mentioned this during dinner just now, Lin Guoguo wanted to play with her eyes when she heard it. Her heart skipped a beat and she begged for a long time.

What result can you ask for?Wei Fangyuan and his wife definitely disagree.

They wanted Lin Guoguo to go just to cause trouble to Li An.

"Guoguo, listen to me, there will be more next year. When you are one year older, the teacher will definitely take you there."

Lin Guoguo stretched out her little finger in aggrieved tone: "Pull the hook."

Ang Lee: "Pull the hook."

Big hands holding small hands, Lin Guoguo's little face finally became less depressed.

"Hey Guoguo, go to the door and get the jar in the black box for the teacher."

Lin Guoguo ran away, and when she came back there was a box of black jars in her hand, "Teacher, here it is for you."

"Brother-in-law, our wolfberries are here. My mother sent them to me two days ago. I heard that Uncle Lin likes to make his own tonic wine. I just happened to bring them over for dinner today. You can help me deliver two boxes to his old man."

Lin Yan: "Hey, he's just messing around. He's not that particular. You can just bring it to Grandpa Guoguo. He really doesn't need it."

Li An waved his hand: "Brother-in-law, you don't know how to drink. This is our best black wolfberry. Uncle Lin will definitely like it."

What else could Lin Yan say, "Thank you, thank you." He took it and looked at it, feeling happy. His old man must like it, "This thing seems to be authentic from your place."

Li An smiled: "This is all we have left as poor people. And sister, when you make soup and porridge from now on, put more in it and give it to my brother-in-law. It's a great supplement."

Lin Guoguo said: "I want to make up for it too!"

Ha ha ha ha--

Wei Fangyuan spat: "If you go anywhere, you will be there."

Lin Guoguo snorted and walked away holding the doll Chen Xuanxin bought for her.

Wei Fangyuan: "We usually cook less and can't eat much. Just leave a box to taste and you can take the rest back."

Li An: "Forget it, there are eight boxes in total, two boxes for my brother-in-law's house, two boxes for my wife, two boxes for you, and we keep two boxes for ourselves."

Seeing this, Wei Fangyuan said nothing, "Take the cigarettes and wine back."

Li An: "Sister, this is boring. I gave it to my brother-in-law. What are you doing?"

Before Lin Yan was about to speak, Li An held Lin Yan's hand and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't do this again."

Then the four of them chatted for a while.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Li An saw that it was almost time and said, "Brother-in-law, we are leaving. You should rest early."

The three of them escorted Li An and Chen Xuan to the elevator door. Wei Fangyuan said: "Be careful when going out."

Li An: "Don't worry, sister, brother-in-law, we are leaving. Guoguo, you should listen to the master and practice the piano during this period. I will be the first to check on you when I come back."

Lin Guoguo nodded seriously: "Goodbye, teacher, goodbye, teacher Chen."

Chen Xuan: "Goodbye Guoguo, brother-in-law and sister, please go in quickly."

Wei Fangyuan: "Yeah, Xiao Chen, please slow down."

After watching the two of them enter the elevator and the three of them returned to the living room, Lin Yan picked up the black wolfberry on the table and looked at it, "Old Liu likes to tinker with these things."

Wei Fangyuan understood: "When you come back, ask An An and prepare something in advance."
-
The things were given away, and Li An felt a little more at ease.

After returning home, I prepared for tomorrow's classes, then washed up and went to bed to read for a while. After Chen Xuan and Sun Yuman finished making phone calls, they turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed.

Li An: "I see you are not nervous at all."

Chen Xuan: "Why are you nervous?"

Ang Lee: "I couldn't sleep in the days leading up to the competition last year. I never told you that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep the night before the preliminary competition."

Chen Xuan: "Afraid you won't make it to the second round?"

Ang Lee: "No."

Chen Xuan: "I'm fine, I don't feel anything. It's just that Yanjing has been very hot recently."

Ang Lee: "Xiaomi, I will try my best when the time comes"

Chen Xuan: "Everyone is busy with their own business. I am just participating in the competition. You are different. I try to get some results with the children to facilitate our subsequent work."

Alas, long live understanding.Ang Lee: "We are all, and so are you."

Chen Xuan suddenly turned over and said, "I'm coming to my aunt."

Li An touched his nose: "That's right, Ang. I calculated, it will be half a month later."

Chen Xuan: "Come or not."

Ang Lee: "Is it so straightforward?"

Chen Xuan: "You hate it."

After a while, Bawan heard the sound of a fight coming from the bedroom.

It hurried over and found that the door was open.

He quietly jumped to the foot of the bed, and just when Bawan was about to take a closer look, a big-footed board flew towards him.

"Meow-"

Chen Xuan turned her head with difficulty: "What are you doing?"

Ang Lee explained: "Eighty thousand came in, I let it go out."

Chen Xuan was angry: "You still have the mind to care about it! Hurry up!"
-
8 month 2 day.

That is when the sun rises again.

According to today's class schedule, in the morning it will be Xiaoche Xiaobei and Liu Fengrui, and in the afternoon it will be Senior Sister Ma Ke and Xiaohu Ji Yang.

At 08:30 sharp, the three children met downstairs and then went upstairs together.

Walking into the study room, sharp-eyed Liu Fengrui saw at a glance that the teacher's tea cup was dark on the computer table.

"Teacher, what is this?" Xiao Liu asked, pointing to Li An's black wolfberry soaked in water.

Li An explained: "This is a flavored tea."

Xiao Liu licked his lips: "It must be delicious."

Ang Lee: "It tastes terrible. Let's go to class."

After yesterday's detailed explanation, the six children already have a clear understanding of the score.

To read it through, they now know who comes out of which place and who enters where.

“Always remember to avoid overstuffing the guest.”

Ang Lee looked at the car: "Che Lin, your function is the bass rhythm and harmony. You can't go overboard and replace the middle voice, even if you can't hear the accompaniment of the middle voice."

"Teacher, I remember it." Xiaoche didn't explain for herself. She did use too much force in some places on the day of recording. Just as the teacher said, he couldn't hear the accompaniment in the alto range.

Ang Lee: "Seven people, seven voices. Everyone is responsible for completing their respective parts. Liu Fengrui, how much volume output did Che Lin bear for you on the day of recording?"

As he spoke, Ang Lee asked the three of them to look at the computer screen, picked up a chopstick and pointed, "The most typical one is this return section. In the first movement, how many times does this return section appear in total?"

He said yesterday that he wanted to check on the children.

"Four times." The three of them said in unison.

Ang Lee: "There are four ABCD returns. Each time you and Che Lin return, you and Che Lin form an accompaniment pattern. Let's listen to the effect of this accompaniment pattern combination now."

Ang Lee sat down in front of the piano and demonstrated with both hands.

"when--"

One low and one medium, the same rhythmic sound pattern appears in the two registers at the same time, forming a chord that looks like a two-layer cake, with the upper and lower layers clearly distinct.

"is that clear?"

"clear."

"Listen again."

Ang Lee did the same thing, but this time he deliberately enhanced the bass in his left hand and lowered the midrange in his right hand.

"when--"

The three children seemed to have seen a bowl of sesame paste that had not been brewed, and the surface was lumpy.

"Is it clear what I want to say?"

"clear."

Li An turned around and said, "Che Lin, if you don't help Liu Fengrui, it's actually okay. If you help him, this will happen."

Car nods.

Li An looked at Liu Fengrui again, "As long as you are more determined and certain, Che Lin will not be distracted to help you with your vocals."

Xiao Liu was ashamed: "Teacher, I know."

Ang Lee: "I don't blame you. The first time you came into contact with the ensemble, you should actually start with four-hand playing. But now there are seven people and fourteen hands. We will find a way to overcome it."

"Come on, you three, come on the piano. Let's sort out the four returns of the first movement. With these four points, the shape of the first movement will be fixed."

Three children played the piano, one was Liu Fengrui, a small car, and the other was Xiao Bei.

"A is ready, 1, 2, 3, let's go."

Six little hands fell down at the same time. Without the melody of the first and second parts to take the lead, Xiaobei was a little afraid to play.

"Xiao Bei, play boldly, imagine that you are a drop of water, and want to blend into them."

After five iterations.

Xiaobei followed the teacher's instructions and softened her finger movements, playing the accompaniment of Xiao Liu and Xiao Che over and over again. After three measures, she felt that she could no longer hear her own playing.

But at the same time, she could clearly hear her own melody shuttled between two distinct chords, one low and one medium.

What an amazing feeling, completely different from the previous ensembles.

Xiaobei felt that he had found the feeling of an ensemble.

After playing this time, Xiaobei raised his hand: "Teacher, I seem to understand a little bit."

Of course Li An could hear it, "Tell me about it."

Xiaobei: "This is my melody. There are five repeated pitch positions in my melody. Although each of my pitch positions is the same, Linlin and A are changing below, no matter they No matter how I change it, I have to clarify these five positions and pop them up clearly every time."

Ang Lee: "Continue."

Xiaobei: "Then the music will automatically detect changes and become particularly clear from top to bottom, and I will be more daring to play."

Li An: "Liu, tell me."

Xiao Liu: "Xiao Bei and I feel the same way. What I hear are the five repeated notes in the melody. No matter how I change it, as long as I can always hear those five notes, I dare to play boldly."

Ang Lee: "So you understand why I have been emphasizing that you listen to each other in those two days. The reason is here. When each of you can find your fulcrum and traction in the music, then this ensemble will come out."

"Why can't you hear me in a large concert hall? Are you really unable to hear me?"

"You can hear me."

"It's just that you don't get together too much and don't know what you're going to listen to. Plus, with the sound effects of a large concert hall, you don't even know."

"This is why I asked you to separate into solo queues in groups of three. You have to make it clear here what you want to listen to in different paragraphs. At the same time, you also have to make it clear that while you are looking for the other party, the other party is also Looking for you."

"So here we have to do our best first?"

While you are looking for the other person, the other person is also looking for you. So in this case, should we do our best first?
The third child completely understood.

After the teacher explained the score yesterday, they all thought they understood it.

Now the three of them know through the practical experience of the sub-voice group that there is a secret hidden in it.

This is the first step for Ang Lee to carry out phase A special training.

First, let the children re-understand the chorus.

Before, he didn't have time to explain it to the children in detail. Now, although time is still tight, with the full cooperation of the parents, he is sure that every child will understand the meaning of the duet.

At the same time, this also determines the upper limit of the final effect of this piece of work.

"I'll give you 5 minutes to consolidate section A, and after 5 minutes we'll look at section B."

After speaking, Li An picked up the water glass and took a sip.

I chewed a few black wolfberries by the way.

The taste is really average.

But make up for it.

Hey.

Last night was beyond words.

Sometimes Xiaomi gets so excited, it's really scary.
