Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 153 150. "Natural Stage Belonger"

Chen Xuan enjoyed the happy experience of recording videos with Ang Lee.

I also like the feeling of recording life.

Post the video recorded by two people on the Internet, and let everything in the video freeze at a certain time.

As if they were happy forever at that time.

One day in the future, when she opened the webpage, she found a video called "A Step Away from Piano and Flute" and clicked on it.

2021年10月14日21:27，视频里有音乐记录着他们当时的所有状态。

Chen Xuan believes that recording life with music is a particularly romantic thing.

She hoped that from one step away, she and Li An could keep recording their every detail in this way.

The two settled on their second track to be recorded.

spring is coming.

It is an appointment with netizens who should invest in coins.
-
There will be nothing in the morning meeting the next day.

Qin Yong briefly talked about the classroom records of the club class last week.

"Let's make persistent efforts in the new week."

After the meeting, Qin Yong called Li An to the office.

Li An came to the office, took Qin Yong's unsmoked cigarette, and sat across the desk.

Qin Yong also lit one himself, and asked concerned: "How are the textbooks doing?"

"The chord part is done, and the mode part is being done."

According to the January agreement between the two, Li An should hand in work this week.

Qin Yong: "The time is about the same. You spend more time these two days and try to send me an email on Thursday night. I will use it when I go to Guangyuan for a meeting on Friday."

"During the last meeting, I showed the leaders of several campuses, and they were very interested in your set of children's music theory textbooks."

There are several meanings of being interested, isn't it just a matter of using it.

Li An thought for a moment, then nodded without saying anything.

Back in the office, he turned on his mobile phone and checked online. He wanted to know whether the learning materials he made belonged to himself or to Lan Tian.

In the beginning, he wrote this thing in response to Qin Yong's invitation to join the Teaching Department of Lantian Art High School Entrance Examination. At the beginning, he didn't expect this thing to be able to reach the level it is today.

In Chen Xuan's words, if you add some details and proofread it, it can be published as a children's music science textbook.

Although these words sound a bit exaggerated, in terms of content, Ang Lee has never seen such a music theory book on the market.

Frankly speaking, from his point of view, whether Qin Yong uses this item or other Lantian campuses, he has no problem.

What he was struggling with was, if this thing was spread out, and was misappropriated by others for the purpose of profiting by changing its name, what should we say?
Let's not talk about whether he can gain teaching points when people give lectures with this thing, at least he wants to find out the copyright ownership of this thing now.

After some inquiries, Li An felt that he was still young.

"Um--"

With a long sigh, he leaned back in the chair.

"What's the matter, Ange?"

Ma Tao looked back when he heard the sound.

Li An shook his head, "It's okay."

Chen Xuan looked at Li An with a puzzled expression.

Taking advantage of Wang Panpan's absence, Li An pouted and kissed him openly.

Chen Xuan gave her a coquettish look.

"I'm going to the classroom, you are busy."

With that, he left the office.

Started today's piano practice.
-
According to various information on the Internet, there is a high probability that what he wrote is a work for work.
-
So what about the money for the illustration?
Feng Donglai confiscated his money for the first illustration, but he paid for the illustrations in the following chapters.

After the meal, Li An originally wanted to talk to Qin Yong about this matter again, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

500 for a community class, I proposed it myself, and they agreed immediately.

He also took the initiative to raise the base salary to 4500 for himself.

That's it.

Through this incident, Li An has gained a lot of insight. If this kind of incident happens again in the future, he must be careful.

-

Nine o'clock in the evening two days later.

Li An was sitting on the bus going home. He had just finished the accompanying training class for three art candidates, and was holding a mobile phone to tell one of the boys about the octave wrist technical matters in Kuang Liu (Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody), Wei Sanwan A link was posted in the group of Weijiaban, which he only saw on the elevator before entering the house.

Immediately my heart surged.

'No.18 World Xinghai Cup Crown National Piano Competition Registration Regulations'

It's finally here.
-
Hearing the sound of the door, Chen Xuan hugged the flute and looked over: "What's so happy about it, the students paid the class fee?"

Li An asked suspiciously while taking off his shoes: "Am I the kind of person who bends his waist for five buckets of rice?"

Chen Xuan said contemptuously: "I don't know who used to eat and drink with me all the time."

Li An hehe: "I don't like to see others waste food."

Chen Xuan flew over with beautiful big white eyes.

Li An didn't accept the call, changed into slippers and sat in front of the computer, opened Baidu and searched for the No.18 Xinghai Cup National Piano Competition.

Click to enter the official homepage.

"The charter is out." Chen Xuan put down her flute and walked behind Li An, looking at the background picture of the concert hall on the webpage with some emotion, said: "Wenhua Hall, I started to join the symphony orchestra in the first half of my sophomore year to catch up with the performances." I rehearse here every night during missions.”

Li An touched the hand on his shoulder, glanced at the competition regulations on the page line by line, and asked, "Missing school?"

Chen Xuan nodded in ecstasy: "I haven't been to Yanjing after graduation, and I really miss my teacher."

Li An tightened his palms: "I will take you there this winter."

Chen Xuan smiled: "So confident."

Li Ang: "That doesn't have to be—"

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly moved closer to the screen, squinting at a line of words and read:

"Professional Youth Open Group."

what's the situation?
In the last competition brochure, the highest-level event in the professional group should be the youth professional college group.

In order to ensure that his memory was not disturbed, Li An quickly reopened a webpage and searched for the regulations of the No.17 competition.

Browsing to the grouping of events, he rubbed his temples after a while.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xuan didn't understand.

Li Ang: "This year's Xinghai Cup National Competition has set up a competition for the professional youth open group."

"The highest-level event in the previous professional group was the youth professional college group."

Chen Xuan immediately understood that the difference between high school and public means the difficulty of the competition is completely different.

In the college group competition, the contestants are basically students from the piano departments of various colleges and universities in China, but in the open group competition, your opponents may not be limited to the eleven conservatories.

The charter is very clear.

Li Ang: "You just look at this one. Winners of the competition recognized by the International Piano Competition Association can skip the audition stage and directly enter the third round."

"Does the Xinghai Cup want to take the route of an international competition?" Chen Xuan was a little curious, "With a musical instrument manufacturer, can it have such a big appeal."

Li An disagreed with this.

"But don't forget that Xinghai is the largest national musical instrument manufacturer in our country. Even if it is not big enough, there is a country behind it. You haven't seen that the units that are assisting this time are not only your school and the National Center for the Performing Arts, but also the Ministry of Culture. Everyone got involved."

He let go of the mouse and said, "The Xinghai Cup competition has been held for seventeen years, and it is already the most prestigious piano competition in mainland China."

"No matter the brand or the event, if you want to develop further, you must be in line with the international standards, just like Steinway and Yamaha, which hold an international competition every two years,"

"You may not know that since the No.16 competition, this competition has set up a special award, and the award is to become a signed artist of Xinghai."

After a pause, "Although the fame and reputation of Xinghai's signed artists are far from those of Steinway Yamaha's signed artists, I think that as the country grows stronger, Xinghai will definitely develop better and better."

"Hey."

Li An sighed, he wanted to say too much about it.

"In short, I hope that in the future we can truly hold a world-class competition, so that foreigners can also play our Chinese piano works."

Chen Xuan: "I didn't see it, but our teacher Li has a sense of family and country."

Li Ang: "That must be."

Chen Xuan: "A certain person said last time that he dreamed of owning a Steinway."

Li An grinned: "You are too young, Mr. Chen is too young."

"My name is to learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians."

Chen Xuan waved her hand and stopped touching it: "You are the only one who is poor!"

Li An turned around and smiled, and gently pushed Chen Xuan's waist: "Hey, go to the refrigerator and give me that bottle of beer."

Chen Xuan not only brought beer, but also the duck neck she bought on the way home in the afternoon.

"I'm going to take a shower first, the bedroom hasn't been cleaned yet."

Li An listened to the words as if he was telling him, tilted his head and shouted towards the bathroom: "You can just take a shower, and I will clean up the bedroom later."

Yesterday, on the 15th, 2502 officially expired. The two of them worked hard for half the night to finish moving the things. The bedroom is still messy.

If he hadn't been so tired last night, he really wouldn't have kept his work until today.

It has been a while since I lived with Chen Xuan. To be honest, the other party is not as quick at work as he is.
-
While drinking beer and nibbling on the duck's neck, Li An's eyes fell on the computer screen again.

Youth Open Group Regulations.

Still four rounds.

However, unlike the schedule of the youth college group, there is no selection competition for each division.

After being shortlisted in the video audition, the second round will go directly to Beijing.

The registration fee is also different, the former is 1000 and the latter is 1500.

The repertoire requirements for each round are also different.

Compared with the college group, the first round of auditions for the open group put forward clear requirements for the scope of the competition repertoire.

The two works are Chopin etudes and the Allegro movement of Beethoven sonata.

There is no clear composer requirement for the etudes of the college group.

Entering the second round, they still have to play Chopin etudes and the entire Beethoven sonata.

It's just that the repertoire is specified in the charter, not all Chopin etudes can be selected again, and the sonata is the same as above.

In the third round, choose a sonata from the designated repertoire and play the whole movement.

The finals have changed a lot. In addition to the designated concerto, each performer will also play a piece of Hua Guo's work commissioned by the competition.

This is good.

Ang Lee praised the organizing committee. After all, it was the highest-standard competition in China, and there should be local works.

After reading the group round introduction in detail, Li An wiped his hands, and then moved the mouse to the selection range of songs for each group.

well enough.

After reading it, all he could say was that it was okay.

With his current music library capacity, assuming he wants to participate in the open competition, he doesn't have to worry about the first three rounds.

It was just that in the final stage, two Mozart concertos were designated for the final repertoire, and he had never played any of them.

Moreover, the additionally required local works will only be made public when the results are announced after the first round of auditions.

Ang Lee pulled to the top registration schedule again.

报名日期截止到10月31号，也就是这个月末，第一轮视频海选提交日期截止日是11月15号，海选成绩公布是11月29号。

第二轮比赛到决赛三场分别在12月15号、12月20日、12月26日。

In other words.

Ok.

Assume again.

Assuming that he entered the final through the first three rounds, then he must play one of the Mozart concertos in the final.

That is to say, he has to start from now, until December 12, more than two months to win another concerto.

These two months are still theoretical. From the official start of the second round in December, he basically has no way to practice at full capacity.

So he actually had less than two months to prepare for this concerto.

Plus busy work.

Li An was a little worried, time was too tight.

Do you want to participate?
From the moment he knew that there would be an open group competition this year, he had an urge to step onto the stage.

It's hard to describe.

Ang Lee still doesn't know if he has a disease, and he gets excited when he goes on stage.

He longs for the stage.

Probably because he has never been on such a big stage before, whether he is curious or longing to be in the spotlight where thousands of people are watching, in short, he just wants to be on the stage.

There are his dreams.

Even if he chose to become a piano teacher, he never gave up his long-distance spying on the stage.

But now the reality is in front of us.

He wants to work and earn money.

Delaying work because of preparing for the game is not what he wants to see.

But if he wants to participate in the open competition, no matter whether he can reach the final or not, he must try his best to practice every round of competition to perfection.

However this takes a lot of time.

If you participate, you must show your best self.

How to do?
Li An lit a cigarette and turned to the final track of the college group.

It's a concerto he played.

Forget it if you don't join the college group, Li An was thinking, Chen Xuan walked over wearing a bath towel and wiping her hair.

"Why are you smoking?"

It's not that Chen Xuan doesn't accept Li An smoking in the house, but she is a little curious. In her impression, this is the second time Li An smokes at home in front of her.

Li An turned around and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you think I can participate in the open group competition?"

Chen Xuan blinked, she seemed to have noticed something from Li An's half-wrinkled brows: "Why not?"

Before Li An could reply, she patted Li An's head with her left hand and smiled lightly.

"Little friend, you are not confident anymore."

Four eyes facing each other.

moment.

Chen Xuan slid her forehead to Li An's ear, put away her smile, and said seriously, "You can do it."

"Li An."

"You were born to belong on that stage."

"Believe me."

"Make the choice you want to make."

"I will always support you."

Biting his tongue, Li An didn't know what expression he had now.

moment.

"Well--"

He snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, held Chen Xuan's hand in his palm, imitating the other's tone.

"What more can I ask for?"
