Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 41 Adaptation of a famous song!

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the last day of the exchange period.

On the same day, exchange members from China and Japan prepared to hold a joint evening party, and the rehearsal began in the morning.

Because of his excellent rescue performance before, he temporarily arranged a program for Li Zhifan to play "Moonlight Sonata" solo. At the same time, Zhongju Youdou specially invited him to play a double piano performance with Li Zhifan.

Double piano performance is a form of piano art performance. Usually, two pianos are placed facing each other on the stage, and two pianists play a piece together.

This was originally a performance that tested tacit understanding, but no one would believe that these two people could have a tacit understanding!
However, Li Zhifan did not refuse. Since the other party invited us, we will not shrink back. We gladly accepted the proposal and searched for the essentials and techniques of playing two pianos through "Piano Skills".

What the two of them are going to play together is a two-piano performance called "Struggle" composed by the famous European classical musician in the 18th century in the world, and it is also the most famous two-piano performance in the world.

The most wonderful interpretation of later generations is the version played by the famous French pianist Ben Shaming and the Austrian female pianist Mercedes in the early 21st century. There is a section in which the two pianos use the melody of the same harmony and different colors, which is vividly expressed. It fully embodies the theme of "Struggle".

At the same time, in the last part of the peace after the struggle, they interpreted the feeling of the love between men and women after the war, and there is no lack of fair dialogue between the sexes in the lingering pathos.

There are many related interpretations, but if Li Zhifan plays this song with Zhongju Youdou, it will definitely not be a pure cover of this version, and he will definitely have to do a lot of adaptations.

I don't know Zhongju Youdou's attitude, but Li Zhifan put all his energy into it.

"Piano Skills" has brought Li Zhifan a lot of valuable technical wealth. After reading the score a few times and listening to the ensemble version of the predecessors a few times, the entire piece can be captured, but if you want to make a different arrangement, you have to Study, and this is something that "Piano Skills" can't bring him for the time being.

After listening to it several times with headphones on, Li Zhifan couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, he thought of the "100 Piano Pieces" he snatched from Master Lang's red envelope!
Can you find some inspiration from these piano pieces?
Leaning back on the chair, Li Zhifan closed his eyes and searched for suitable reference objects among the 100 piano pieces.

More than half an hour later, Tao Jiping walked in from the outside.

This is the piano room of Fujino University, which was temporarily applied for Li Zhifan to practice piano, but seeing that he was asleep, Tao Jiping couldn't help but stepped forward and pushed his shoulder, trying to wake him up.

"Zhifan! Don't sleep, time is running out, can you take this song down?"

However, he didn't wake up Li Zhifan.

At this moment, Seto Masao came in with Nakai Yuto and Bai Linjie.

Seeing Li Zhifan leaning on the chair and sound asleep, Masahiro Seto couldn't help but wondered, "Huh? What's wrong with him?"

Through Bai Linjie's translation, Tao Jiping couldn't help but said in embarrassment, "Maybe I was too tired last night and didn't have a good rest. I'll call him again!"

After hearing this, Seto Chang couldn't help muttering a few words. Tao Jiping looked at Bai Linjie, waiting for her to translate.

But Bai Linjie looked embarrassed. Seeing her expression, Tao Jiping also understood a little bit, but he didn't blame Li Zhifan, but said to Bai Linjie: "Tell Professor Seto, we will definitely perform on this show." Very wonderful!"

"Wait and see!"

After listening to Bai Linjie's translation, Seto Chang said with a smile, still using substandard Chinese.

The two didn't talk anymore, they just stared at each other.

At this time, Li Zhifan suddenly got up from his chair without looking at the person standing beside him, and raised his hand to play on the keys.

And he played exactly the "Struggle" that he was going to play with Yuto Nakai.

This piano piece is divided into three parts. The first part is oppressive and full of contradictions. There is a feeling that the wind and rain are about to come. In Li Zhifan's performance, the oppressive atmosphere is more obvious, and several chords are changed to low Octave is even more depressing and unpleasant.

Masahiro Seto put away his emotions just now, and listened carefully with an indifferent face.

Nakaju Yuto lowered his folded arm and put it in his pocket. In the past, he only did this in the most relaxed state, but it was different at this moment, because he heard a sense of oppression from Li Zhifan's playing. The feeling made him a little nervous, and his chest was stuffy for a while. After listening to a few more sentences, he turned and walked out the door uncontrollably, wanting to breathe.

Although the rhythm of the first part is slow, this slowness is not breezy, peaceful and comfortable, which is different from the relaxing and soothing of "Moonlight Sonata". However, in the second part, the rhythm suddenly speeds up and the tone suddenly increases.

Tao Jiping and the others saw a scene of fierce struggle in a daze, as if the charge horn was sounding.

Masaru Seto patted his chest, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Bai Linjie's lips turned pale, and she stepped back a few steps and sat down on the bench by the wall.

Tao Jiping, on the other hand, was in a turbulent mood, with a hot blood boiling in his chest that he hadn't felt in a long time. He thought of the war movies he had watched, especially the movies depicting the Anti-Japanese period of World War II, and the scenes flashed in his mind.

In an instant, under the rendering of several high-pitched notes, the second part ended and the third part entered.

The third part is a variation on the basis of the first part, which is also slow. Some pianists have integrated their own true feelings, like a parting and reunion in love, and some have integrated a sense of social responsibility, showing post-war thinking and reunion. bitter.

This edition of Li Zhifan has been slightly adapted, using the pentatonic mode with Chinese characteristics in the chords, and the momentum has a kind of vigorous and vigorous attitude, which is closer to the Chinese nation after the war. The determination of a perfect society.

The last note gradually fades away in the sustain, and the whole song ends.

After stopping, Li Zhifan was quite satisfied with his playing just now. For this adaptation of "Struggle", he absorbed the essence from many piano pieces, including Beethoven's "Fate", "Pathetique", and Chopin's "Farewell Etudes", as well as "Yellow River Concerto" and "Moon Rises on the Sea" with Chinese national characteristics.

Standing up that day, he found that Tao Jiping and Seto Chang were standing behind him, and Bai Linjie was sitting on the bench. The common feature of the three of them was that they were all in a trance.

"Teacher Tao!"

Li Zhifan yelled, and waved his hand in front of Tao Jiping's eyes.

As a result, it was not Tao Jiping who reacted immediately, but Seto Chang.

He looked at Li Zhifan, but his eyes were a little dodgy. After saying something in Japanese that he didn't understand, he turned and left.

After a while, Tao Jiping came back to his senses: "Is it really "Struggle" that you played just now?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan nodded, "What's the matter, Teacher Tao?"

"It's all right!"

Tao Jiping smiled, "Okay, that's it, I can't say anything else, but this adaptation is very bold and very good!"
