Please, come home and practice the piano

After the fun learning in the morning, the children worked in groups to modify their works in the afternoon.

The title of the modification is the familiar Czerny 599 Article 92.

More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the second Mozart team was the first to complete the submission.

Next came a Bach squad.

The third of the three Schubert squads submitted.

Five groups of Beethoven squads followed.

The finished kids gathered in the hall to wait for the final four groups.

When there were still 5 minutes left before the time ended, the four groups of Haydn teams walked out of the creation room easily.

Fu Yu, the leader of the fourth team, handed their modified work to Song Kang.

At this point, all teams have submitted their own modifications.

Song Kang's team took the children's manuscripts and produced the score on the spot, and 10 minutes later, five adaptations of Czerny were printed into electronic versions.

Then came the performance scoring session. Song Kang immediately shuffled the order of the five scores and edited them into numbers one to five, with the foreign professor playing first.

The foreign professor in charge of the performance was Anastasia. Anastasia got the five scores and read them carefully before starting to play from the first page.

After each performance, she would pause for a moment.

Wait until the applause falls before playing the next song.

After playing five consecutive songs, she bowed and left the stage with a smile.

After the foreign professors performed, the Chinese teacher performed, and the Chinese teacher in charge of the performance was Huang Chuxian.

Huang Chuxian didn't know which children's works the five scores were. In the same order, Huang Chuxian bowed and left the stage after playing.

Five adapted works, five different feelings.

The two teachers also used different performance methods to reflect the characteristics of each piece as much as possible.

Finally came the grading session. In a tense atmosphere, ten teachers gave their final scores one after another.

Song Kang received a summary of the ten scores and announced the results three minutes later.

The piece with the highest score is number three.

"yeah!"

The truth came to light as the five groups of Mozart teams boiled over. Before that, except for them and Teacher Song Kang, no one knew that the adapted work No. [-] came from them.

The expressions of the other four groups of children were different, some looked slightly disappointed, and some looked convinced.

But no matter what, they have tried their best and they believe that the judges are fair.

"Wow——"

Everyone applauded the Mozart team.

Then Song Kang announced No.2.

"Opus Number Five."

The little fat man Ma Hao was stunned for a moment, then jumped up on the spot!

Immediately afterwards, the three groups of children collectively burst into cheers as if they had won a championship.

Things are changing, and the three Schubert teams lost really badly yesterday. When they learned that their work won No. 2, everyone's first reaction was that they couldn't believe it.

"Wow------"

The winner of No.3 is the work number one.

The five Beethoven squads were all a bit down for a while. They clearly wrote very richly.

Wang Xiaohu didn't understand very much, but he still comforted everyone and said that we had done a good job.

"Wow——"

The winner of No.4 is the work number two.

Everyone in the Bach team pouted.

"Wow——"

The last entry in this round is numbered four.

The children of the four groups of Haydn's team seemed to have expected this result. The seven children smiled at each other, and no one thought anything was wrong.

Of course, no one wanted to be the last one. Faced with the facts, captain Fu Yu still comforted everyone, especially Che Lin.

After announcing the results, Song Kang recalculated the results based on the time submitted by each group and distributed note medals.

The second group of Mozart teams came first overall and all members won six medals.

The three Schubert teams finished second overall and all members won five medals.

Since the score of the five groups' works is only 0.3 different from the score of one group, but one group was the second team to submit, so it received a time bonus of 0.5 points. Therefore, one group of Bach teams ranked third in the total score, and all members Received four note medals.

The Beethoven team of five, which was overtaken by one group, ended up in No. 4, and all members received three note medals.

The last four Haydn teams were awarded two note medals.

Everyone thought that today's activities ended here, but they didn't expect that there was one last link.

Song Kang, who had not participated in any grading from beginning to end, presented a special award to each group's works as the instructor of today's course.

A set of Bach group works: Best opening award
Group [-] Mozart Group Works: Best Structure Award
Three Schubert Group Works: Best Melody Award
Four Haydn Team works: Best Color Award
Five Beethoven Squad Works: Best Counterpoint Award
The top five, everyone has one, sounds like a consolation prize.

At least half of the children in the bottom ranking group thought so, but after listening to Teacher Song Kang's comments on each piece, combined with the morning's lessons and practice, they all thought that was the case.

Then Song Kang, as a professional composer, rigorously conducted a detailed analysis of each group's works from beginning to end, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages and where new changes could occur if another approach was used.

It was hard for the children not to listen with interest during this process, because each of them participated in the creation in the afternoon, and they were no longer confused when they got the A4 materials in the morning.

Taking advantage of the children's high interest, Song Kang extended the topic from musical innovation to the creation of instrumental music. Taking the first movement of Mozart K545, which most children have played, as an example, he told how a sonata was created from scratch. To some birth process.

After he finished speaking, he invited each group of children to come on stage to share their ideas for innovation in the afternoon.

At first, the children were too embarrassed to go on stage, as if they wanted to reveal their little secrets to the public.

Seeing that no one raised their hands, Liu Ziqian raised his hand as the captain of the No. 1 team.

The second group of children took the stage first.

"Wow——"

Seven people with three microphones looked at each other, Marco nodded, and then Liu Ziqian started under everyone's gaze: "Our idea is to decide on the last section first."

Decide the ending first?Wang Xiaohu found the feeling right away. Their group was stuck at the end and didn't know how to end it. It would have been nice if they had decided on the ending at the beginning.

As Liu Ziqian narrated and Ma Ke and others added, all the teachers and students at the scene could clearly see the second group’s ideas for innovation.Looking back now, there is a reason why the second group won the first place. During the presentation by the two teachers Li, after listening to the works of the five teams, the work of the second group sounded the most complete, with a beginning and an end.

This is why the teachers gave the second group the highest score. A piece of work can be simple, but it must be complete.

Combined with the listening experience of the works of the second group, and then listening to the explanations of the children of the second group, the first place is well deserved.

Then three Schubert teams came on stage, and the seven people gave way. In the end, everyone unanimously let the newly joined Liu Fengrui start.

Xiao Liu was not shy. He took the microphone and praised Song Kang: "Our innovation is based on a core point that Teacher Song talked about this morning. He sounds good."

Marco: Listen to this terrible opening.

Wang Xiaohu: This guy is here again

But this is the fact. The creative ideas of the three groups only revolve around four words: how to sound good.

From the high road to the simple, the children in the three groups chose the simplest and crudest path.

But there is a story here. At the beginning, the children in the three groups were very unsure, probably because they were hit too hard yesterday.

As a new member of the team, Xiao Liu didn't want to stand out, but seeing that everyone was in such a bad state, he took the lead and suggested making Czerny popular.

If you play classical music, a hundred Xiao Liu combined can't beat Ma Hao, but Xiao Liu is a loyal pop piano lover.

Xiao Liu has memorized many more pop repertoires than classical repertoire, so the pop harmony trends and melodies in his mind are also very rich.

As the saying goes, if you have read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you will know how to compose poems.

So Xiao Liu directly looked at the right-hand melody of work No. 92 and made an impromptu arrangement. It was actually a simple harmony direction, and the rhythm was not accurate, but it was enough to make the three groups of members prick up their ears.

interesting!The military advisor asked Xiao Liu to play the left-hand pattern of piece No. 92.

This is a bit embarrassing. The left hand of work No. 92 is a sixteenth-note scale running with an abab sound pattern. If Xiao Liu directly followed his own ideas, he would not be able to play it.

He can't play, but little fat boy Ma Hao can.

The little fat boy Ma Hao was in charge of the operation, Liu Fengrui was in charge of pointing out the direction of the melody, and Glasses and another girl were in charge of notating the music. The remaining children kept providing various popular music that were popular at the moment, and everyone discussed it together.

Just like that, a Czerny adaptation full of pop flavor came out.

The three groups who carried out the good tune from beginning to end finally got the second place and also won the Best Melody Award from Song Kang personally.

"Wow——"

Returning to his seat, before Ma Hao even sat down, he shouted that he would give up the captain's position to Liu Fengrui. Liu Fengrui didn't want to be so high-profile, but he couldn't bear the "public opinion". There are many of you, so you have the final say.

Hey, Xiao Liu became the captain on the first day he joined the team.

A group came on stage next.

Seeing that Miao Hengrui really didn't want to be the first to speak, Lu Hanwen had no choice but to say, "Our team put all our efforts into the beginning. Well, Yu Xiaobei, it's up to you to speak."

Xiaobei was confused for a moment, why was it her? !
Facing everyone's gaze, Xiaobei stammered and said, "I, we started with a Chopin etude."

As Xiaobei said, they used the awakening dominant ninth chord from the revolutionary etude.

The person who provided this idea was none other than Xiaobei. The source of Xiaobei's idea was that first of all, it was a piano etude. Secondly, he listened to Miao Hengrui's performance yesterday morning and always felt that the beginning of the revolutionary etude was The chords are so powerful.

Finally, for Xiaobei, she feels that the beginning of a piece of music is the most important.

So Xiaobei thought that since the two were both etudes, could they be combined so that their innovation would give people a head start from the beginning?

After she expressed her idea, everyone except Miao Hengrui found it interesting, but what was the specific effect?

Miao Hengrui had no choice but to sit in front of the piano. Who said that he was the only one who could play here? Although she felt that Yu Xiaobei's idea was a bit too naive.

But he slightly changed the chords at the beginning of work No. 92 and played the notes in the high-pitched area of ​​his right hand. In addition, he added the movement of his left hand that comes with the score. Not to mention, for a moment he felt that it had a certain flavor.

Then the DNA of everyone in a group was moved, but their adaptation ideas were too high-end, so no one knew how to deal with it later, and in the end they could only scribble an ending and submit it in advance.

"Wow------"

Applause to send off the next group and welcome the fifth group.

Facts have proved that good playing does not mean good arrangement. The five groups with Tang Xiaoxing only got fourth place, which is enough to illustrate this problem.

Wang Xiaohu was a little unhappy at first, but after listening to Teacher Song's various analyzes and the creative processes of several other groups of students, he realized that they had not grasped the direction of innovation.

As the captain, he has to bear most of the responsibilities because he came up with the creative ideas for the five groups.

"Our creative ideas came from the time signature of work No. 92. The four and three beats are slow and like dance music. We imagined the left and right hands as two people dancing."

Imagine two people dancing, Song Kang mentally gave a thumbs up to the children in Group [-]. So far, Group [-] is the first team to come up with core creative elements.

Although the finished work didn't sound that good, he could see that the children really worked hard to establish the counterpoint between the left and right hands in the construction of the work.

The writing was quite complex, and he guessed that it probably came from Tang Xiaoxing, because Tang Xiaoxing had been studying composition with him for a year.

Without professional study, it would be impossible to write such counterpoint.

In terms of difficulty, it's pretty good.

"Everyone has tried their best." At the end of the speech, Wang Xiaohu also became slightly sublime and took the lead in bowing to the audience.

"Wow——"

Xiao Liu looked at this scene and laughed at how this guy Wang Xiaohu had become a bitch, but he felt good about it.

The last four groups came up.

Although the works of the fourth group are the most flawed in the eyes of piano teachers, in Song Kang's eyes, the works of the fourth group are the most imaginative.

As he said in his analysis, the works of the four groups have a strong modern style. Regarding the styles of the four groups, he only said this sentence, because any further discussion would be a strictly professional academic discussion.

The works in the four groups have no modal color, which is what is most novel to him. The works are slow, but the progress is based on a semitone hierarchy. The horizontal semitone changes have considerable potential logic.

He didn't know if the children noticed this when they were making the changes.

At first glance, it sounded like a random adaptation of the rhythm of work No. 92, but it was worth analyzing. He was curious about which child's idea this was.

Captain Fu Yu took it, looked around at his teammates and said with a smile: "We have no ideas."

ha?
"We spent an hour and a half trying various creations, but found that nothing worked. In the end, we just played a section by ourselves, and then everyone voted. Che Lin got the most votes, so we used Che Lin's idea."

It turned out to be the case.

Now everyone understood that the four groups of inexplicable modifications turned out to be Che Lin's ideas.

In the audience, Wang Xiaohu turned away and whispered: "I think the works of the four groups are quite good, what do you think?"

On stage, "If it weren't for Che Lin, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to deliver anything in the end. I think her idea is very good, and she also gave this piece a very interesting name."

Suddenly, the interest of everyone in the audience was aroused.

Song Kang looked at Che Lin: "Classmate Che Lin, can you share it with us?"

Xiaoche took the initiative to take the wheat from Lou Xiangnan's hand. Facing the heated gazes from the audience, he showed no shyness and showed two cute little tiger teeth:
"My little tin train."
