Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 175 172. Torrent or Revolution?Undercurrents surge under the second round of song selection!

Torrent or Revolution?Curriculum selection for the second round
After the call was connected, Li An followed what Chen Xuan said last night.

The reason why he called him early in the morning was because he wanted to know why his old mother called him three times in a row last night.

He didn't know what was going on until An Ma on the other end of the phone explained.

This is not Double Eleven. Some time ago, he mailed a spectrum physiotherapy device to his family. The old father here has suffered a lot of knee injuries due to years of hard work. After so many years, his knees hurt in winter.

The original owner was actually thinking about this matter in his heart, otherwise Li An would not have such a clear memory of the old father's legs, but he would not have the ability to act.

Now Li An has become a member of this family. To put it bluntly, his parents have always been in good health, so he can hang out with peace of mind.

Even if he is not such a family-loving person, even if he cannot accept this blood relationship from his heart.

So what.

This winter has come, and he can't stand the old man's leg pain.

Some people on the Internet say that this thing is an IQ tax, and some people say it really works.

A dead horse is a living horse doctor. In the early years, old man Li has seen many doctors, Chinese medicine, and Western medicine. It will die.

In Lao Li's words, it doesn't matter, anyway, a person who is half buried in the ground, staying up for a winter is a winter.

This sounds uncomfortable to Li An. It's okay if Lao Li is a self-pitying person. The problem is that Lao Li is a positive and optimistic person.

"I thought what was going on."

"I don't have a cold, my nose is a bit whimpering in the morning, it's all right."

Then Li An pulled back to business, "Take two photos for me, then you call the courier and ask him to send it back, and I'll just ask the merchant to send one more."

moment.

Li An continued: "At that time, you can just give him the shipping fee he wants. Anyway, the merchant will pay us in the end."

This thing weighs a lot, and the freight insurance is probably not enough, but that's all he can say, otherwise the old mother will feel sorry for the little money.

On the phone, An's mother was relieved after hearing her son's words. Last night, the old couple went downstairs for a walk, and Lao Zheng from the store at the entrance of the community told them that a courier had arrived from your house.

The two immediately thought that their son bought it, because they called their son some time ago and said that there was a courier at home a few days ago, so they should pay attention.

The big box was taken home, and when it was opened, it was found to be a physiotherapy device.

Lao Li thought it was all a lie, but he was happy.

As a result, after a closer look, it was found that there was a slight recess in the shell of the physiotherapy instrument.

The old couple was a little anxious at the time, and they took it apart like this.

But plugged in and found that it can be used, the two hesitated whether to tell their son.

It was the last few words.

"No trouble, what's the big deal, have you eaten yet?"

Li An smiled: "Very good, he likes the cake you baked."

"I eat noodles."

On the phone, "Let's fry some more beef sauce and send it to you. It's getting cold, so I'm not afraid it will be spoiled on the road."

When the weather was hot before, my old mother talked about it every time she called. At that time, Li An said what to send, and it was broken on the way.

"Then you guys, get some more and save some for yourself."

"Other things, you guys just look at the post, I'm willing to eat them all."

"Yeah, I just drank two glasses, ouch, don't worry."

"Well, I must thank her well."

"Okay, just send me your photo and call the courier. It's time to go to work."

After hanging up the phone, Li An let out a long breath, and was about to pick up his chopsticks, when he saw Chen Xuan just looking at him and smiling.

Ang Lee: "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Xuan: "I feel that the state of you and your family on the phone is different from your daily life."

She understood what was on the phone, but she didn't know that Li An bought things for the family on Double 11.

I can't say why, but listening to Li An and his family on the phone, she feels very comfortable, and feels that the family is very close.

"What's different, eat quickly, Teacher Xiaomi."

Li An said as he lowered his head and started to eat.

Chen Xuan picked up the chopsticks and fed a mouthful of noodles into her mouth, "Uncle's legs are not good?"

Li An sighed: "It's an old problem."

Chen Xuan frowned: "Do they have regular physical examinations every year now?"

Li An stopped, looked at the light noodle soup and blew his nose.

moment.

"Lao Li said that men in Northwest China are rough and tough."
-
After the meal, the two packed up and set off together, one went to work and the other went to record.

If Ang Lee's combat power was 0 yesterday, it would be at least 70 today.

Feeling the full spirit reawakened by the noodles, Ang Lee sat down in front of the piano in the recording studio again.

Teng Jie joked: "I won't warm up today, let's start directly?"

Ang Lee: "Start directly."

Taking advantage of this full state, he plans to start directly, if he runs back to the scale and withers, that is not what he wants to see.
-
Same track order, same opening treatment.

When the first eight bars of the black key etude fed back to his auditory nerves with a clear and flowing rhythm, he knew it was done.

In one go, without sloppy.

In the tuning room, Teng Jie was a little surprised when he heard the black key etude in the earphones. As a graduate of the composition department of Rongyuan Academy, how could he not know how to play the piano.

Although the playing is rotten, it can be rotten.

Yesterday he felt that Li An's level was good, but after hearing Li An's performance today, he felt that it might be a bit tricky for the other party to participate in this competition.

At least in the upper and lower three realms of his undergraduate course, he has not heard this dynamic black key etude.
-
With a graceful movement of withdrawing his hands, the performance of the black keys ended, and Li An picked up the tissue beside him and wiped his hands.

According to usual, how can the hands sweat after playing such a short section.

But in the end, the fever just went away, and the illness has not recovered quickly.

When the black key was about to end, he felt a little tired again, but fortunately, his palms were a little sweaty.

Putting down the tissue, Li An thought about success once, and spit out two mouthfuls.

Raise your hand.

In the video, Teng Jie only saw that Li Ang's hands were not moving fast, but the music gave people a feeling of moving forward rapidly.

He has touched this piece before, and even used the first movement to play it a few times before the art test, but he gave up on the third movement.

He can't play.

After reading and listening to Li An's play almost without blinking an eye, he thought it was awesome.

Jia Mingyu is 50 stronger than him.

Li An stopped playing and sat quietly for about ten seconds, then got up and quickly went to the tuning room.

"It's awesome." Teng Jie transferred the cut video to Li Ang, "Listen to it yourself."

Ang Lee put on his earphones.

It sounded good before, but unfortunately, the FP expression in the reappearance department was not done well, and the dynamics were not enough, so the dynamic performance of the next short section did not sound clear enough.

Because the two works are in the style of fast running, it takes a lot of energy, and his physical condition has not yet returned to the best after catching up.

So the paragraph near the end is not as positive as the beginning part in terms of finger enthusiasm.

But it is still a two-step work that can score 80 points.

"well enough."

Li An put down the earphones and chatted with Teng Jie for a while about the topic of "Niece of Art Examination".

After 10 minutes, I felt my body recovered a little, and then I recorded it again.

After repeating this four times, he gave up near eleven o'clock.

"Hey."

"It's the first time."

Teng Jie laughed: "The art candidates who record videos every year are also like this. They record over and over again, and finally choose the first time."

Teng Jie was busy processing the video. Li An took advantage of this gap to contact the merchant of the physiotherapy device. The old mother had already sent the courier. After communicating with him, he applied for a refund and placed a new order.

Then he called Deng Shiqi back and explained. Deng Shiqi asked him on WeChat last night what else he needed to pay attention to in the interview tomorrow.

Li An didn't say anything else, just shared with him the interview process of the female teacher, "Relax."

Before he hung up the phone, he remembered something, "The full-time master's degree here in Lantian has a monthly subsidy of 500, but you have to wait for you to get your diploma."

In fact, it was not a big deal, but Li An still greeted the other party in advance.

"Thank you brother, I see. Can I arrive 15 minutes early at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Ang Lee went back to the tuning room.

The two were busy until twelve o'clock at noon, and after a final check, he submitted the game video to Teng Jie on the spot.

Another 600 was spent.

In the brochure, it is said that it is about the review fee.

However, as far as the domestic first-line professors in the jury are concerned, this fee is reasonable.

Teng Jie: "You know why cities, big and small, are holding competitions all over the country."

Li An naturally knew it, but he still cooperated and said it was true, "Brother, I transferred your money to you."

Teng Jie picked up his phone and refunded the money, and said with a smile, "Just introduce more people to me in the future."

Li An guessed that the other party didn't want the money because he was thinking about his niece, so he was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that the other party insisted on being so bold, he didn't say much. In the future, if anyone around him wants to record and record, he will recommend it.

At noon, Teng Jie was invited to have lunch, and Li An went to the hospital to continue drinking water.

The body has to recover quickly and thoroughly.
-
The competition videos for the first round of national auditions have been submitted, and only the top 100 can enter the second round.

The results will come out in half a month.

He can only pray that everything goes well. In fact, the top fifty is not a big problem.

He still has this confidence, after all, it is only the Xinghai Cup competition.

If it goes well, then it will be an offline bayonet fight.

Lying on the hospital bed, Ang Lee flipped through the scores of Torrent and Revolution, and then considered which etude to use for the second round.

The choice of the second round of sonatas was decided after he finished Otto's master class, Beethoven's Tempest Sonata.

This piece had been his third-round repertoire for that unfinished competition.

Originally, he also planned to put the storm in the third round of this competition, but after Otto's master class, he decided to put the farewell in the third round.

The reason is simple, even though the storm is his unknown trump card, he has already seen the upper limit clearly, and judging from his current mastery of these two pieces of music, there is a high probability that the upper limit of saying goodbye in one month is even higher Some.

Playing farewell to the third round, maybe he really has a chance to hit the final round.

In addition, by relegating the storm to the second round, his chances of hitting the third round are even greater.

His question now is which Chopin etude to choose to play the second round with the storm is more secure.

From the perspective of the judges, both op10.no4 (Torrent) and op10.no10 (Revolution) were badly played competition works.

But the scope of selection of the second round of etudes required in the charter is just that little, just eight pieces, and which one is not rated as a work that has become calloused after hearing the word two.

The reason why he chose between the two is that Li An also made a decision based on his current technical characteristics.

Both works are works that require fast running.

Excellent running is the skill that Ang Lee has the most personal advantage at this stage.

And then subdivide the two works.

Riptide needs better touch control. If you can't show the graininess and speed that this work should have, the score will directly drop a grade.

And the revolution needs to grasp the connotation of the music well, and emphasize the completion in one go. As long as there is an emotional blockage in the middle, the judges can choose to close their ears directly.

Yesterday, the nurse lady came to make rounds. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the hand of the handsome guy on the left who was leaning against the wall. She was about to make a sound to stop it, but when she came closer, she noticed that there were several copies of sheet music.

"Can you still play the piano?"

The little nurse didn't expect this handsome face to have connotations, so she asked in surprise.

Li An smiled: "That's right."

The little nurse couldn't understand the sheet music on Li An's lap, so she just asked, "Can you play Canon?"

Li An honestly replied: "I can play."

The little nurse nodded: "Then you are very good."

Then he walked to the next bed.

Li An looked back at the dense notes in front of him, thinking that it would not be so easy to play the Canon well.

After a while of jumping across, he gave up the revolution that he was more inclined to.

Torrent was selected.

His former university mentor told him that the game is divided into two sides, the front is the battlefield, and on the battlefield, one must choose the weapon at hand.

His weapon is the finger technique that Otto has highly praised.

Then the torrent is the most suitable track for him.

After thoroughly planning the repertoire of the competition, Li An was relaxed, and the next thing was to wait for the results on December [-]st.

Putting away the score and putting on the earphones, Ang Lee turned on the K466 played by Master Uchida and continued to listen.

While continuing to brush the rules of the competition.

He sighed again when he saw the appendix of promotion places and recommendation. Only 15 people could enter the third round, and three of them were directly recommended.
-
At this moment, above the stage of the He Luting Concert Hall of the Haishi Conservatory of Music, the majestic sound flow is leading everyone in the audience to leap forward.

In front of the piano, a square-faced young man wearing black-rimmed glasses is playing Chopin's revolutionary etude.

Ao Tuo smiled from time to time, it was a kind of smile that a teacher would show when he saw a good seedling.

During this trip to China, he had already met too many excellent young performers, but this one in front of him seemed to have his own playing style.

The young man's name is Wu Fusheng, a third-year graduate student in the Piano Department of Haishi Conservatory of Music.

When we had dinner together last night, Wu Fusheng's teacher, Li Hong, the head of the Piano Department of Haiyuan Academy, said that Wu Fusheng was preparing for the 2023 Chai Competition.

On the way back to the concert hall with a group of young people at night, Lin Youyou found out that Wu Fusheng also participated in this year's Xinghai Cup Youth Group Open.

However, unlike Ang Lee, the opponent directly sent him to the third round.

The camera returned to the stage, and as Wu Fusheng played two sets of deafening chords, the mood of the music whirled and disappeared in the coda of the air.

"bravo."

Ao Tuo is a person who expresses admiration, his tone is calm, but his eyes are full of appreciation.

Lin Youyou started her boring game, and Wu Fusheng had already been identified by her as Ang Li's number two competitor.

At the same time, she was also a little depressed. Ao Tuo didn't seem to plan to return to Rongcheng.

In the past two days, she has talked to the other party twice, both openly and secretly.

How to do it?
-
At the same time, the Xinghai Musical Instrument branches in Haishi, Yangcheng, Rongcheng, Dongsan No. [-] Middle School and other regions have received notices from above that the preparations for the offline competitions in each competition area will start this week.

With the end of the first round of video auditions for the No.18 Xinghai Cup National Piano Competition, the surging undercurrent gradually surfaced.

Just this winter, outstanding piano students from all corners of the country will gather in Yanjing again.

At that time, the flames of war in the name of the academy will once again ignite in the interlacing of black and white!
