Please, come home and practice the piano

It was inconvenient to ask any more questions, so Li An directly asked Xiao Che to find Chen Xuan. Of course, the girl's problem had to be solved by the female teacher.

The car left quickly after receiving the instructions. Li An looked at the back of the car and felt a little "annoyed" in his heart. If you were not feeling well, you should have told me earlier. If there is a special situation, can we just be more negative?

Seeing that Xiao Che took the initiative to whisper to Chen Xuan as soon as he returned, Li An looked away, not knowing what the two people said. When he looked over again, Xiao Che had already sat down and started eating dumplings.

The second half of the meal seemed much quieter, and the groups stopped walking around.

Everyone tasted the dumplings made by themselves and discussed various topics as a group.

Or tomorrow’s flag-raising ceremony, or next year’s Jig Summer Camp, or whether it will rain tomorrow.

"The forecast says there will be no rain tomorrow, and I see that the rain outside has almost stopped. If it continues to rain tomorrow night, then we can only cancel the flag raising, but we have to let them go to bed early tonight."

Before dinner ended, Boss X gathered all the leading teachers together and issued an announcement.

On the eighth day of Jig Summer Camp, the manual dumpling banquet ended successfully.

Immediately after the end, Li An asked Ji Yang to take the five children back to the room to get the septet score. "Professor Du Mei will help us listen to it later. You can bring the score with you."

Xiao Ji: "Good teacher."

Li An: "Let everyone wear thicker clothes and come out. Let's meet in the classroom."

Xiao Ji gathered the children and left the restaurant first, telling everyone what happened on the way.

In the restaurant, Li An and all the teachers stayed to clean up the battlefield left by the children. Chen Xuan worked very hard. When everyone had almost stopped, she took out her phone and took a look. Ten minutes ago, her mother and cousin each sent A message came.

One is the information about the smooth arrival at the station, and the other is the information about the smooth pick-up from the station.

After cleaning up the "battlefield" created by the children together with the restaurant staff, the teachers also said good night one after another.

Regardless of whether the children have to get up early today, they also have to get up early, and they have to get up earlier than the children.

Back at the hotel entrance, Boss X asked Li An to go to the classroom first, "Professor Du Mei and I will go there right away."

Li An: "Don't worry, let's practice first."

The three of them parted at the door of the hotel, and Li An led Chen Xuan directly to the classroom in the comprehensive activity area.

"My dad and mom are about to get home, and Sister Qiong is going to pick them up," Chen Xuan said and then asked, "Which company did you send me the quote for the musical instrument just now?"

Li An: "Yucheng."

Chen Xuan: "It's really cheap."

Ang Lee: "I'm a little scared of this price."

Chen Xuan: "Aren't we going to inspect it then?"

Li An: "We definitely need to conduct an inspection, but that's not the problem. Let's sit down and talk about it later."

Chen Xuan: "Why don't you ask Teacher Lu together?"

Li An: "The situation is different here with Teacher Lu. I haven't figured out how to speak yet."

"Teacher Lu is too close here. If you don't ask, people will know what's happening on the scholar's side. So we must ask about this in advance. Let's go tonight. I'll call Teacher Wei and ask first. , let’s see what Teacher Wei says, even if we don’t choose Teacher Lu in the end, don’t hurt the relationship and leave a grudge, Teacher Wei is still in the middle, and I personally want to develop a personal relationship with Teacher Lu.”

"It's really troublesome." Chen Xuan really didn't expect that there would be so many problems.

Li An: "It's not troublesome at all. Now I'm wondering how the piano at Teacher Lu's place is. Didn't he want to talk to Lantian about brand promotion before?"

Chen Xuan understood, "What you mean is that if we decide to use the wind music from Yucheng instead of Teacher Lu's wind music, we can still use the matter of opening a school to talk to Teacher Lu about his piano promotion." question."

Ang Lee: "That's half right. We'll decide what to use when the time comes, but I have a new idea to help Mr. Lu promote his piano."

"Jiang Zhigang called me that day to ask if I could help with some sponsorship. I guess Teacher Lu is willing to pay for it."

"Give him a name and use his piano throughout the competition. At that time, we will arrange a session to introduce his piano, find professionals to play it live, and ask Fu Tianming to find someone to write a few jokes and post them online. In this way, Musical instruments are promoted, and competitions are also promoted along with it. Those who need money get it, and those who spend money feel comfortable."

"I can also do some private work for my friends." Chen Xuan added.

Li Anle: "It doesn't matter who you earn it for."

Chen Xuan sighed: "How sure are you that you can accomplish this?"

Li An: "As long as I think about it, he will definitely be able to do it. There is no reason why Mr. Lu is unwilling to spend this money. His business has reached a critical period of transformation. To endorse a piano competition in the Chengdu area, this business is very cost-effective." , it depends on how much he is willing to take.”

"Jiang Zhigang may have a little trouble here. What he wants is sponsorship, not to replace the piano used in the competition with an unknown OEM product. Unless Mr. Lu's sponsorship is in place, and I will be the guarantee."

Chen Xuan understood: "So you are thinking about what Teacher Lu's piano is like."

As they walked into the complex, the sound of a piano came from the stairs.

Li An: "Che Lin?"

Chen Xuan: "The little girl hasn't adapted yet, so it's fine."

Li An nodded and the two went upstairs.

Six children in the classroom were sitting in front of the piano. They stopped when they saw the teacher and Teacher Chen walking into the room.

"Don't move," Li An said, walking to Xiao Ji's piano, taking the score and handing it to Chen Xuan.

Then he quickly walked to sit next to Xiao Bei, took off his watch and said, "Continue from here, 1, 2, 3, let's go."

"When-" As if he had already prepared his emotions, Li An followed the children directly into the music.

The gorgeous first movement set sail again, and Chen Xuan found a chair next to her and sat down.

Seeing Li An playing music with the children, she felt a little more at ease.

She would feel this way every time she discussed life and work plans with Li An, but today this feeling was even stronger.

After a while, the classroom door was gently pushed open again.

"Everyone, stay focused and don't stop." Li An's angle was just enough to see the door being pushed open.

Boss

He had already heard the details of the song from Boss X, and upon hearing it again, it was indeed very similar to the version modified by Fabio.

After receiving the score handed over by Chen Xuan, Professor Du Mei smiled and nodded to express his gratitude, then opened the score and quickly followed the progress of the seven teachers and students.

After listening to the three movements, Du Mei felt that there was no need for her to come here. Ang Lee and the children had already played very well.

And the score in his hand was edited very professionally.

"Clap clap clap-"

At this moment, Tang Xiaoxing clapped his hands, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Boss X and Professor Du Mei briefly communicated, and then the two came to the piano in the solo part. Ji Yang stood up to give up his seat in front of the piano, but the boss motioned him not to, "You guys play very well."

As Du Mei spoke again, Boss

The only question Professor Dume could raise in the first movement was about two ornaments.

Boss X: "Everyone, turn the score to measure 43."

The children opened the music scores one after another, and Li An borrowed Xiaobei's music score to read.

As with his usual style of giving public lectures, Dumei pays great attention to efficiency and never asks questions that don't make much sense. For example, who can tell me what is the difference in ornamentation between Italian style and French style?

Obviously, the cultural phenomena represented by the two regions are very different, not to mention their music.

Mr.

Li An understood immediately: "There is no need for etiquette here, that is to say, there is no etiquette here. It just makes a contrast with the previous phrases marked with etiquette."

Boss X felt that this was what he meant. He conveyed Li An's words to Du Mei, who responded in the affirmative.

Boss

"Come on, everyone, pay attention." Li An stood up, "Let's change it. In the 43rd and 75th bars, we don't need all the etiquette that you were asked to add before. Do you understand?"

Children: "I understand."

Ang Lee: "This is my problem. I originally thought it was there. Now let's give it a try. Starting from measure 24, Teacher Chen, please give me a beat."

Boss X: “1, 2, 3, let’s go.”

The seven teachers and students started playing together with their fingers down. After removing the grace notes, there was a slight change in the contrast between the two paragraphs. It was this subtle change that made the music sound invisibly more dynamic. .

The two live audiences, Tang Xiaoxing and Chen Xuan, heard this change clearly.

However, some of the performers did not appreciate the charm. Xiaobei did not notice any difference and was a little embarrassed to look at the teacher.

Li An touched Xiaobei's head and signaled Xiaobei to listen carefully.

"Very good, that's what I mean." Boss

Boss X: "The performance prompt of the second movement is, larghetto spirituoso, two parts."

"The larghetto is a leisurely pace, while the spirituoso needs to be a feeling of life."

"I think your performance can be a little better, and the overall speed can be a little faster."

Li An was thinking about the speed of the second movement. Qin Yong also discussed with him at the time whether it was a bit slow. Qin Yong's idea at that time was that the entire speed could be faster to make the music feel more forward.

Just like the word spirituoso mentioned by Professor Du Mei just now, it is full of vitality. No rehearsal teacher or conductor will ignore this word when explaining this.

But the problem was that the children couldn't do it at the time. After the speed was increased, the beats of the four accompaniment parts could easily not get stuck together.

Seeing Professor Du Mei raise this question again, Li An didn't want to explain anymore and let the children try again.

"Okay, everyone, please pay attention. We will play the second movement a little faster. Everyone should pay attention when touching the keys. Touch the keys in Plan B. Just do it as far as you can. If it is messy, it will be messy. Don't be stressed when playing. "

After speaking, Li An gave everyone a speed, then looked at Boss X, who nodded, "Prepare Part 147, 1, 2, 3, let's go."

The three voices entered the music at the speed of Boss X. After the music progressed for three measures in an orderly manner, Professor Du Mei smiled.

To be honest, he was a little shocked. It was hard to imagine how Ang Lee trained these children in private. They were able to directly perform another required performance without practicing in advance. This kind of adaptability and speed can even perform at a very high level. None of them may be able to do it.

But Ang Lee's students can do it. The transition between fingertips and fingertips is as easy as playing rock, paper, scissors in the hands of these children.

However, when all the voices appeared, Du Mei's smile became stiff. It was still good, but the rhythm was a bit uneven.

As Li An expected, it still didn't work.

When Boss X saw this, he motioned for everyone to stop first, "Li An, are you waiting in line here?"

Li An nodded: "There is really nothing I can do here."

Although he didn't want to say it so bluntly in front of the children, after all, everyone had worked so hard, but he had to reflect the actual situation truthfully. Maybe Professor Du Mei had some good ideas.

Boss X told Professor Du Mei about the children's rehearsal situation and difficulties. After hearing this, Professor Du Mei could only shrug his shoulders. In the final analysis, the children still had too much to learn.

Just when the three men were about to give up, Chen Xuan, who had been an observer, spoke. As soon as Chen Xuan spoke, even Li An was startled.

Chen Xuan also spoke French, and she expressed to Professor Du Mei that she wanted to see the score.

Professor Du Mei quickly reached out and invited Chen Xuan to come up. Chen Xuan did not want to speak French directly, but the person rehearsing now was Professor Du Mei. Out of respect for the other party and apology for suddenly interrupting the other party's rehearsal, she spoke in French. , it’s indeed a bit unfamiliar after not talking about it for a long time.

Chen Xuan really put a lot of effort into going abroad, not just professionally.

The children seemed to have discovered a new world. It turned out that their teacher Chen not only spoke English well, but also spoke French.

Boss X and Professor Du Mei believe that Chen Xuan should have experience studying in France.

Of course Chen Xuan didn't know that her words brought so many thoughts to everyone. She probably looked at the score of the four accompaniment parts here, and it was the same rhythm as the one she heard.

The rhythm is actually very simple, just the most basic quarter notes and eighth notes. The scene where the children couldn't play the music evenly after accelerating just now reminded her of the scene when Milo Wald came to the Chinese Academy to give a master class.

This happened when they were playing the Grand Venetian accompaniment for Wald. They couldn't play the accompaniment pattern that was almost completely similar to what the children were playing at the moment.

You must know that they are all from the orchestral department of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music!

In the end, Master Wald helped them solve the uneven problem using a method that they found a bit ridiculous after hearing it.

"On the first and third beats, all the sounds are maintained, and on the second and fourth beats, they all have the feeling of delaying the sound again."

"What does delay mean? Now everyone takes a breath, then spits it out, and then takes another breath."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes!"

Chen Xuan: "Don't suck, hold it in consciously, and then suck again."

Li An and Boss X were both lost in thought for a while, and the children all played breathing games.

"Come and let's try."

Chen Xuan gave four preparatory beats, and seven performers including Lian entered the performance again.

147 There was no problem with the three voices before. When the other four voices entered, a miracle happened.

To their own disbelief, the children discovered that they only tried slightly delaying the second and fourth beats.

That's all, but all the accompaniment parts have become as neat as one person playing.

Tang Xiaoxing has seen this scene, and she remembers it when her uncle was rehearsing the Waltz of Spring. There were many uncles and aunts sitting on the stage listening to her uncle.

The uncle said this is called backhand lag.
