Please, come home and practice the piano

The conversation between the two started on the way from the tavern, and Boss X raised the topic first.

Regarding the fact that Tang Xiaoxing did not perform the entire Chopin Third Sonata tonight as he had planned, Boss X was worried about it. He only hoped it was because of Ang Lee.

Without any questioning, Boss

Boss X asked directly, and Ang Lee’s answer was even more direct.

Li An bluntly said no, "The afternoon is so tight, how can I have time to tell her the music? What's wrong?"

At that time, Ang Lee didn’t understand what Boss

Knowing that Li An did not turn on Tang Xiaoxing, Boss

While the two were talking, they came to the pub and sat down. Boss X ordered two beers. Li An took Boss X's mobile phone and quietly listened to the first movement in the video.

After listening, he seemed to understand a little bit what was going on.

"Yes," Li An handed Boss X's mobile phone back to the other party, "It is indeed a completely different approach."

Boss

After listening to this, Li An frowned. The processing of the second video was obviously a bit unfamiliar, but the method was the same as that in the first video.

In other words, the child has been perfecting the processing of this piece from May to now.

In other words, Tang Xiaoxing's piece has just been completed.

So the question is, how can a piece of music that has just been practiced be transformed into a completely different style in a few days?

If this piece was practiced by Tang Xiaoxing last year, then it makes sense that there are two ways to play it on stage this year.
But. "Has she handled it like this tonight when she played by herself before?" Li An wondered if the child had made some attempts when practicing piano in private. After all, Tang Xiaoxing's comprehensive musical literacy was not enough to handle a Chopin sonata alone. Not that difficult.

"Never." Boss X put away his phone and shook his head subconsciously. After a moment, "No."

Their eyes met, and the two of them blinked at the same time. Li An's eyes seemed to say think again, and Boss X's eyes seemed to say no.

"No." Boss

Li An shrugged and poured wine for the two of them, "That's weird. When I listened to it at night, I thought she had always handled it this way. I didn't know about the situation at all at the time, and I only had one session with him in the afternoon. She talked individually about Mozart's pedals and the treatment of legato endings, and other content was taught to all the children together, which is the strength of our afternoon theme."

The two raised glasses and clinked their glasses. Boss X sighed, "That's her own fault."

Li An's heart moved, and he tried in a relaxed tone: "This is such a good thing, why are you looking so sad?"

As he spoke, Li An poured himself another glass, "I'm thirsty, you can do whatever you want." The cold and sour taste entered his throat. Seeing that Boss X didn't answer immediately, he then asked, "Is there anything wrong with playing like this?"

Boss X didn't know how to explain to Li An for a while, "Li An, you know that this child has a special status."

Ang Lee: “Looking at the country, we are definitely very rare.”

Boss

Li An: "Now that you say that, I am interested in Mr. Tang. It is said that Mr. Tang is also the first generation who returned from studying abroad."

Seeing Li An stop mid-sentence, Boss X curled his lips and said, "You should finish your sentence."

Li Anle: "There are some things we dare not say."

Boss

"I don't think so." Li An stood up and lit a cigarette for Boss "He, this thing is indispensable, how can you do it?"

Boss X: "Do you know what the old man originally studied when he went abroad?"

Ang Lee: "It can't be the piano."

Boss

Ang Lee: "Then you can't force all these things on a child. Isn't her father engaged in the art industry?"

Boss

"Oh no," Li An was really curious, "Are all the music courses that Tang Xiaoxing has studied since childhood really been arranged? I see that she has the four major pieces and conductors at her fingertips, as well as stage acoustics. She said today I was really shocked when I heard those."

Boss X: "Her professional knowledge reserve is beyond your imagination. Since she was five years old, she has had to take three music professional courses simultaneously every day."

Li An: "Let me go, can she digest such an older child?"

Boss X: "She learns quickly and is very well-behaved."

Very good, why did Li An feel so uncomfortable hearing these two words, "So in other words, the processing of all her tracks must be in accordance with the regulations, I understand it correctly."

"Yes." Boss X picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

The air suddenly quieted down.

For a moment, "Just say whatever you want."

Li An put out his cigarette butt: "I don't know what to say."

Boss

After a pause, "Lee Ang, let me ask you a question. In your mind, who are the performers you admire most?"

In an instant, two names popped up in Li An's mind. Just as Li An was about to speak, Boss

Yeah?

Li An raised his eyebrows, could you guess this?
"Why?" Li An asked.

Boss

Li An smiled and avoided Boss X's gaze, "I really don't dare to talk about pursuit."

But Boss

Li An nodded for a moment, admitting this.

Boss A professor from Germany and Austria is a good private tutor.”

If we really talk about genre issues, Ang Lee was most directly affected after he obtained Feinberg’s incomplete notes.

From there, he had been practicing the piano using some of the exercises provided in his notes.

In fact, Ang Lee was not that keen on Russian piano before that, because a lot of practice had an impact on his overall performance later.

"Mr. Wei's teaching is more German-Austrian. I personally have some experience in Russian piano practice."

Boss X: "It's pretty much what I expected, which means that in your heart, you prefer a fusion of modern playing styles."

Li An thought about it for a moment. Really, he hadn't thought about this question carefully before, "Yes."

Boss X smiled: "That's why I said you would like Pollini."

As the winner of the Sixth Chopin Competition in 1960, Maurizio Pollini is an absolute example of today's modern style.

Boss X continued: "His technique is perfect and impeccable. He can use his finger skills to do everything he wants on the piano."

Ang Lee: "In my heart he is one of the greatest pianists today."

Boss X: “Is there any more?”

Ang Lee: "Brendel."

Boss X: “Do you believe me when I say I guessed it again?”

Li An poured the wine: "You say it, you say it."

Boss X: "Brendel, like Pollini, is an objective and rational performer. Usually people who like Pollini will not reject Brendel."

Ang Lee: "Yeah, who would reject a performer who puts musical organization above musical color? I really like some of Brendel's explanations of music."

Boss X: "Quietness is the foundation of music."

Ang Lee laughed: "It seems that you also like Brendel very much." Boss X: "I just like some of his views, but I can't appreciate his playing."

He changed his tone and said, "But Li An, do you know that the two performers you like were created under extremely strict requirements."

Li An was stunned.

Boss

"What?" Li An's brain was already in chaos.

Mr. Gullah’s influence.”

"But after the age of 17, he only insisted on playing in one style and recorded a large number of factory records. While receiving wide acclaim, he also let the world hear his piano."

"The person who played a key factor was Vaux's top leader at the time. He sensitively grasped the market and then asked Brendel to play Beethoven and Liszt like that."

After listening to the stories of his two favorite piano masters, Ang Lee felt like his world was shattered.

This time, Boss

As the only player in China who has won the Chopin Competition, no piano player does not know Song Yun's name.

The twin piano stars of the millennium, Lin Lang and Song Yun, are well-known to every household.

But Li An really didn't know how Song Yun prepared for Xiao Sai, "I don't know."

Boss

Ang Lee: "Yes"

But what, Li An can no longer organize the language.

Boss X: “But didn’t he still play it himself?”

Ang Lee: "Yes, no matter what, he is still the one to play."

Boss

Ang Lee fell back on the sofa in frustration. He couldn't find any reason to refute. According to Boss X, classical music is a kind of copying.

How can it be a copy?

How can it be a copy?

How can it be a copy?

Boss X raised his glass and said, "Come on."

With a constipated face, Li An raised his glass and touched it with Boss X.

moment.

Boss

"And the shortest way to the temple is to follow the rules."

Ang Lee: "Is the Temple a medal for the Chopin Competition, or a market?"

Boss

Ang Lee: "Wouldn't this kill her imagination?"

Boss X: "Why don't you think this will unleash her imagination to a greater extent in the future."

Ang Lee: "."

Boss X: "Tonight is a good example. You heard how she used her own ideas to play Chopin."

Li An rubbed his temples, "I'm a little confused."

Boss

Li An smiled bitterly: "I thought at first that you were forced to teach her like this under some pressure, but I didn't expect it."

Boss X: “I didn’t expect that I was also the instigator.”

Ang Lee: "Maybe I'm just ignorant. I always feel that when children learn music, they need to rely more on their own innate feelings about music."

Boss X: "That's right. The goals are different. Xiaoxing's goal is to become an outstanding concert performer."

Li An: "Have you asked her?"

Boss X: “Have you asked Che Lin?”

Li An choked.

Boss X: "For a child like Che Lin, if she is unwilling to take the piano path with the goal of becoming an excellent pianist, and you are her teacher, will you really give up from the bottom of your heart?"

"Drink and drink." Li An didn't want to answer the question and directly refilled the bottles for the two of them.

As soon as they touched it, Boss

Li An recalled his experience with Tang Xiaoxing throughout the afternoon, "The child is quite sensible. Maybe he will understand when he is older."

Boss It’s a borderline temptation, not just tonight, there were actually signs of this earlier.”

Li An: "What's the matter?"

Boss , she didn’t even tell me first.”

Li An immediately thought of Tang Xiaoxing's first strategy, "What kind of game."

Boss X: "It was just a small competition held by Yanjing, and even Xiaoyu became a judge."

Ang Lee: "And then."

Boss

"You don't know the expression on her little face at that time. In addition, this child is usually introverted and silent. After a month, she had a cold war with me. Have you ever experienced this?"

Li An finally found a chance to have fun: "I really haven't. My students and I have never had an overnight feud."

Boss

Li An was speechless: "One game can solve the problem, what's there to think about?"

As he spoke, the phone on the table vibrated, and Li An picked it up and took a look.

Yangyangyang: Teacher, the room is tidied up and we are ready to sleep.

Ang Lee's quick edit, 'Go to bed quickly and don't let the air conditioning temperature get too low'

Clicking send, Li An put down the phone and sighed, "If you put it this way, I think you guys are a bit too much. It's just a competition. If you participate, you can participate. What else can you do? If your children want to participate, just let them participate."

Boss X smiled bitterly: "I have the final say on this matter."

Li An was really convinced: "Mr. Tang, that's not the case."

Boss X lit a cigarette: "Lee Ang, do you know why we don't let Xiaoxing participate in domestic competitions?"

Li An was really puzzled: "Why?"

Boss X: "What is the significance of her participating in these domestic competitions?"

After a pause, "She participated, which judge dares not to give her first place."

This was so damn crazy to say, but Ang Lee didn't think it was bragging at all.
