Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 975 235. The Aftermath of the Ending [XI]

Xiaoche is very grateful to Aunt Xu Li for agreeing to take in Douhua Doubao.

Imagine if Aunt Xu Li did not agree, they would have to continue to consider where to place the two kittens.

Maybe there are other suitable places, but Xiaoche is not sure that he can find them today.

If we don’t find a place to accommodate the two kittens today and leave them here, what if they are gone when they come tomorrow?

Only another noon had passed, but Xiaoche already felt that he really couldn't live without the two kittens.

Just now she was holding tofu pudding and bean buns, which were lying quietly on her legs, like two balls of marshmallows, soft and sticky.

She loved it so much.

Now that Tofu Pudding and Doubao have found a place to stay, she feels completely at ease, but she thinks she can't cause any more trouble for Aunt Xu Li.

Adults have their own things to do.

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie. I have checked it. Don't worry, we can do it."

Xu Li knew Xiao Che's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Of course I trust you."

"But I was planning to go to the supermarket to buy some whipped cream this afternoon, and you guys are going to the street too, so we're on the same way. If you don't mind, I'd also like to go to the pet store with you guys. I'll also give you some tips on raising pets."

"I don't mind!" Wang Xiaohu was stunned by his mother's words, and then he looked at Che Lin excitedly.

What else could Xiaoche say in this situation? At this moment, Xiao Douhua poked his head out of the cat's nest and meowed.

The three of them, one big and two small, looked over quickly. Xu Li squatted down closer. Wang Xiaohu said excitedly, "Mom, this is tofu pudding. Look, is there a small flower on his head?"

Xu Li nodded, then she looked into the cat's nest and saw another cat curled up in a ball as if sleeping.

They are indeed two lovely little things.

"Let's go, kids." Xu Li stood up and looked at the car. "Linlin, you have already checked the place, right? I'll go drive the car and find a cardboard box. We'll meet at the South Gate in ten minutes."

Car: "Yeah!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Mom, just use the cardboard box behind our parking space. It's very clean inside."

Xu Li: "Okay, see you later."

Looking at Aunt Xu Li's departing back, I paused, "Aunt is so nice."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled, "Right, my mom is very serious about everything she does. She said she wants to learn some knowledge about raising pets, so she will definitely learn about raising pets systematically from the beginning. I bet she will go to the bookstore today and buy some related books."

Xiaoche exclaimed, "Doubao and Douhua are so lucky."

"We are so lucky," Wang Xiaohu said, looking down at the two kittens, thinking to himself, who made them meet you? "Let's take action too."

A meal, "Are the food and water bowls still here?"

Xiaoche: "The food bowl and water basin were originally here."

Wang Xiaohu: "Well, I told my mom that there might be a mother cat. She said that we can take the mother cat home with us when the time comes, so don't worry."

Xiaoche was slightly stunned and felt grateful again in his heart, thank you Aunt Xu.

"Oh, your paper."

"What paper?"

Xiaoche took out the test paper that Wang Xiaohu had left behind in the morning from his schoolbag. Wang Xiaohu slapped his forehead and took it, saying, "I had forgotten about this."

"Why are you bringing back the test paper after the exam?" Xiaoche asked casually, "Do you want to check the answers again?"

Wang Xiaohu explained: "Qiao Zhizhi didn't take the final exam, so I asked for a copy of the test paper for her."

Car: "Oh."

Brother Xiaohu felt something was wrong and added, "If she hadn't gone to see the teacher's performance, I wouldn't have brought her the test paper. I'm most afraid of going to the office."

Xiaoche laughed: "I'm still scared now."

Wang Xiaohu curled his lips: "Do you know there is something called sequelae?"

Xiaoche nodded to show her understanding: "I don't know what the teacher is doing now."

Wang Xiaohu: "Why don't you give the teacher a call?"

"Let's not do that." Xiao Che didn't want to disturb the sweet time between the teacher and his wife, "The teacher may be sleeping."

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Teacher has been working too hard recently."

At this time, Xu Li called and asked where the two were. She was about to leave the garage.

"set off!"

The second step of the plan starts: Go to Meow Meow Pet House! -
The scene of the event.

"Wow————————"

Ang Lee's wonderful answer once again won applause from the audience.

However, he chose to refuse to answer the question Liang Shan asked next.

"Goodbye, Teacher Liang."

As Ang Lee clearly showed that he didn't want to continue this topic, the scene fell into a brief awkward moment.

However, Liang Shan didn't mind it. He didn't want to dig anything out of Li Ang. It was just the atmosphere.

Even as a non-professional host, he had to consider whether Ang Lee wanted to continue. If Ang Lee still had something to express, he had to give Ang Lee a phone.

But he didn't expect Li Ang to refuse so directly.

At this time, Li An continued to smile and said, "To continue is purely subjective."

As he spoke, Ang Lee pointed to the LED electronic projection screen, on which was clearly written today's theme - Retrogrades Walking in the Nineteenth Century.

"That's off topic."

Teacher Li's humorous tone instantly brought back the atmosphere on the scene, and the fans and Liang Shan in the audience all laughed.

In fact, everyone understands what Ang Lee means. Indeed, if we continue like this, it will really be a bottomless pit.

But this does not stop fans from wanting to listen to Ang Lee's purest subjective feelings about the entire 19th century music.

At first, no one thought that this young performer who could sing hymns on the piano also had a mouth that could sing hymns off the stage.

Now everyone seems to understand why this young performer can sing poetry on the piano.

Because there is poetry in my heart.

"Ok."

Liang Shan closed his notebook and said, "I have finished asking questions. Let's meet online."

Audience: Hahahaha.

The words "see you online" scared Mr. Li Ang. Anyone who knows a little about Liangshan knows the "black content" of this sentence.

Every time Liang Shan said this, there would be some shocking news afterwards.

But everyone is not really worried. Instead, they are happy for Ang Lee.

The value of Liangshan in the industry is obvious to all.

Whether it was the night before yesterday or this afternoon, everyone has witnessed Ang Lee's performance.

Next, we just have to wait for the explosive news.

At the end of the event, Liang Shan spent time with his fans.

In response to various questions from fans, Ang Lee answered them sincerely and to the greatest extent possible.

As he said at the beginning, he thanked every friend who came today.

"Teacher Li, do you plan to hold a concert in Yanjing this year? Would it be convenient for you to give us a preview in advance?"

After a moment of silence.

"It's not that I don't want a preview, it's that no one has given me one yet. You have to let me wait for a preview first."

After a pause, "Let's meet online as well."

Audience: “Hahahaha——” Fang Yongbo laughed in his heart: This Ang Lee is really capable.

As he laughed, Liang Shan looked at his watch again and it was almost time.

At this moment, Li An suddenly stood up, and everyone followed his gaze to the far corner on the left.

A boy with disheveled hair wearing a mask and a black sweatshirt is raising his hand high.

Li An had already seen this boy who looked like a college student, but the fans in the front row were too enthusiastic and Liang Shan didn't care about the people who raised their hands in the back.

"This friend."

The boy who was called quickly stood up and took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. "Hello, Teacher Li!"

It was obvious that the boy was very excited, but the place was a little empty and his voice sounded a little small.

The staff in the audience quickly took a microphone and handed it to the boy.

"Thank you." The boy took the microphone and looked towards the stage, "Hello, Teacher Li."

Li An also raised his microphone: "Hello, hello."

Li Ang's voice echoed in the venue, and the boy immediately covered his mouth with an embarrassed expression, as if he didn't know how to face his idol's friendly kindness.

Li An encouraged him, "It's okay, it's okay. Please go ahead and speak."

The scene fell silent again, and everyone's eyes were focused on the boy's face.

After a moment, the boy spoke.

"Teacher Li, you just mentioned the obscurity and deep feeling in Brahms' music."

It turned out that the question was still about music, and the scene suddenly became quieter.

Lee An: “Yeah.”

Boy: "But you just brushed aside this part. In my opinion, this is a very important part of Brahms' music. Is his obscurity and affection caused by the environment he was in at the time? I mean, his emotions were out of tune with the society at that time. He had no way to express his love to Clara, so he turned his emotions into notes, which became obscurity and affection. I noticed that you seem to have been avoiding talking about Clara, but I really want to hear your opinion on this part. If it's not convenient, please tell me the piece of music you listen to most often at this stage. Thank you."

After saying this, the boy clasped his hands together and nodded slightly, and the audience's attention returned to Li Ang's face.

Li An smiled. It seemed that there was no way to avoid this question today.

Clara.

"Okay," Li An nodded. It wasn't that he was avoiding Clara.

But when talking about Clara, he inevitably fell into a subjective state, just like his final rejection of Liang Shan just now. Deep down, he hoped that everyone would focus on Brahms' works, and talking about the works involved professional knowledge, and he did not want to turn today's scene into a classroom.

Feeling the expectant gazes of the audience, Ang Lee chuckled and put the microphone down and picked it up again.

"First of all, we have a common view that Brahms did experience a sense of being out of tune with his surroundings throughout his creative period."

"But my point is that Brahms' artistic success has no direct relationship with Clara, or the indirect relationship is extremely weak."

As soon as Ang Lee said this, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed significantly.

For the vast majority of listeners, such a conclusion is tantamount to directly subverting everyone's understanding of Brahms.

Then a question popped up in everyone's mind: If there was no Clara, would Brahms be the Brahms that everyone hears today?

The answer is definitely no.

No matter how hard I think about it, it's impossible.

Brahms composed a considerable number of works for Clara, and these works are the essence of Brahms's composing career.

But Mr. Li An
At this time, Liang Shan expressed his understanding of Li An's statement, and he was not surprised at all. This was the topic he originally wanted to discuss with Li An privately.

“Without Clara, Brahms’ music would not be what we hear today.”

"Actually, this is a hypothesis with a rhetorical question. Can you agree with it?"

This was agreeable, and everyone in the audience nodded.

"Both in terms of the written records Brahms left behind and in terms of time, Carrara's existence is sufficient to support Brahms's complete creative period."

“This is a historical fact.”

The audience nodded again.

"Okay, how many of you have listened to more than two chamber music pieces by Brahms? Please raise your hands so I can see."

More than half of the people raised their hands.

“Wow, so many of my friends like Brahms’ chamber music.”

"Then you must be aware that chamber music is the most intrinsic form of expression for composers in classical music."

The audience nodded for the third time, and this time their nodding was obviously bigger than the previous two times. They agreed very much with Ang Lee's point of view.

Brahms' chamber music, in particular, has an indescribable charm.

"Brahms expressed all his difficult feelings about love through chamber music, which can be said to be natural and without any problems."

There is no problem at all, and from this perspective, Mr. Ang Lee is an absolute ally who stands on the same side of the issue as them!

Unconsciously, everyone developed a rather "dangerous" curiosity.

moment.

"Okay, now I'm going to ask a hypothesis in return. I hope someone can stand up and answer it."

"If all of the above is true, then what is the relationship between Brahms and classicism?"

Liangshan: Wonderful.

Fang Yongbo: I knew it.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of music history will immediately fall into a sharp self-contradiction.

If the above view is accepted, then Brahms really has no connection with classicism anymore.

Because the essential difference between classicism and romanticism lies in rules and self.

Classicism follows rules, romanticism follows oneself.

It is obvious that the more Clara's historical position in Brahms' music is strengthened, the more Brahms is pushed into the romantic camp.

But Brahms is known to the world as the last defender of classicism.

If the above view is denied, then it will directly deny the role that Clara played in Brahms' artistic achievements.

In other words, does this mean that the obscurity and affection in Brahms' music really have nothing to do with Clara directly?

Even if the indirect relationship is very weak?

"Anyone want to stand up and have a chat?"

Li An looked around with a smile, and when his eyes passed by Teacher Xiaomi, he saw Teacher Xiaomi secretly gave a thumbs up.

Finally, his gaze returned to the boy, "Try it."

The boy wanted to speak several times, but finally smiled and shook his head, put his hands together again and bowed eleven times, then sat down.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ang Lee's face again. Everyone had an inexplicable premonition that the most exciting part of today was just about to begin.

"Then let us return for a moment to Brahms' chamber music."

"After four generations of chamber music creation from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, the Vienna School has produced many brilliant masterpieces."

“So once anyone has the idea of ​​continuing, they are putting themselves in a desperate situation where they will be crushed by a mountain of pressure.”

"But Brahms, my dear friends, succeeded."

"His chamber music works have enough weight to continue the glory of the tradition. Following Schubert, he has brought the ancient style to a perfect completion again."

"Let me ask you, is this something that can be driven by just one person?"

moment.

"Love will not be the background color of giants."
