Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 202 199. Lyrical Waltz, Whose Place Is

The game continues.

The host exits, and contestant No. 142 prepares to appear.

Lin Youyou looked at the player's score sheet in her hand, and five consecutive children had not scored more than 6 points from her.

Although compared with yesterday's children's amateur group, today's young players in the professional group are generally slightly better in terms of overall level.

But her review requirements will also increase accordingly.

Rather than being dissatisfied with the young players, she is more dissatisfied with the teachers of these children.

Most of the children's competition repertoires are decided by their teachers, but most of the repertoires chosen by this group of children today are things they can't complete.

The appearance of difficult tracks on the field can indeed attract the attention of the judges to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent, and ultimately depends on the specific performance.

No one understands this truth, but those irresponsible teachers are still pushing the children to put on big-sized shoes for the children.

The competition is not a grade test. Lin Youyou believes that most parents will not continue to put pressure on the teacher in this link, making the children have to play certain difficult pieces to compete.

On the issue of song selection for the competition, the teacher basically holds the absolute right to speak.

Hey.

Seeing one child after another playing pieces that didn't suit her hand, Lin Youyou became more determined in her mind—the development of children's piano education must be slowed down.

From the place where she was born and raised.

At this moment, a short-haired little girl in black trousers walked onto the stage, and there was applause. Lin Youyou looked up, and saw a very thin short-haired girl, whose profile still resembled her when she was a child.

Before the child reported the repertoire, she lowered her head and glanced at the roster.

No. 142, Che Lin, Lyrical Waltz for Dolls.

The kid's teacher - she's in a pretty good mood

Lin Youyou thought in her heart, and her emotions eased a little. Although this sketch by Shostakovich lacks the competitive nature of the competition, it wins because of its beautiful melody.

If the performer can master the rhythm of three beats well, he can get high marks if he performs well.

After two crisp introductions, Xiao Che bowed perfunctorily, and then sat down in front of the piano.

As soon as she sat down, she felt extremely comfortable and breathed easily.

It was the triangular shape of the piano in front of her that made her feel a little strange, but fortunately, she was familiar with the black and white keys on the keyboard.

In my mind, I first recalled the teacher's last exhortation in the morning.

1. Adjust the height of the bench first.

She is sitting very comfortably at the moment, and she thinks that if the stool in front of her desk is so comfortable, she might like to do homework.

2. Then adjust your breathing to adapt to the environment.

She didn't think there was any difference between here and classroom No. [-], except that the teacher was not there.

3. Do not rush to play after completing the above two points.

"Xiaoche, let me tell you a stage secret. Don't worry when you feel that you can reach out after adjusting your state. Stop for a few seconds. This will make the audience's attention more focused."

Well.

123
Just like that, Xiao Che began to count in his heart.

What the audience saw was that the little girl didn't move her buttocks after she sat down, and her left hand was moving the fingers of her right hand, with a dull expression on her face.

It's been seven or eight seconds since I teased him, and people can't help but wonder if the child is too nervous and forgets the score, or, is the child okay?
At least she, Teacher Li, was right about one thing.

The audience's attention was indeed focused on her more and more.

The judges sitting next to Lin Youyou couldn't bear it any longer. The time was delayed, and they were about to remind them "you can start," and then they saw the figure in front of the piano slowly raising their left hand.

"When you raise your hand, you have to think about the speed of starting the sentence in your mind, the strength of the three beats."

Che Lin paused with her left hand in the air, and silently recited 1, 2, 3 for the last time.

"Dang-dang-dang-"

The slender wrist descends with a small arc, the four fingers of the left hand land on the key, and at the same time, the right heel of the small black leather shoe is stepped on the sustain pedal, the four fingers pause for a moment, and then press a big jump to press the same two groups continuously. chord, release the pedal.

A complete set of left-handed three beats with pedals is completed. The whole sequence of movements is orderly and smooth, giving people a little bit of elegance. At this moment, the perspective on the road can be said to have completely forgotten that this is the little girl with a dull expression a few seconds ago. .

From the perspective of professional judges, this kid is so relaxed, as if he has rich stage experience.

Speaking of this opening sentence, Lin Youyou felt that this child might bring her a little surprise the moment she heard Che Lin's first tone being fully processed.

This kind of sustain sound is not easy to do. If you do too much, it will affect the speed of the entire sentence. If you do it too little, it will give people a feeling of unstable rhythm.

Doing it just right can enhance the lyrical movement that is characteristic of triple time rhythms.

To do it well, there must be two prerequisites.

One is the control of the finger on the force of the touch key.

The second is the feeling of music. If you can keenly grasp the distance relationship between the three tones, you can explain it clearly, but it is very difficult to practice it in practice.

After listening to the first three sections, Lin Youyou finally saw a young contestant worthy of the five words of the professional children's group.

Except for the kid's expression.

As the right-hand main melody enters from the fourth measure until No.20, all the seventeen measures are performed with expressive singing melody.

The beating music tone is like a pond in a summer afternoon, a group of children are playing and playing, giving people joy and joy.

However, there were only young performers who played this musical feeling on the spot, and they still looked dumbfounded.

This gave Lin Youyou a slightly weird feeling, every breathing movement in the music was just right, but why didn't this child show any expression.

Of course, this is by no means a deduction item, she is just a little curious, doesn't the child's teacher help the child tidy up?
-
"Can we show some emotes?"

In the second class of the first generation Che Lin, Li An felt that he had encountered another difficult thing in his teaching career.

Other children have problems with hands, but this child has problems with facial expressions.

Che Lin looked at him and nodded blankly again.

After 5 minutes, Ang Lee gave up.

He thought about waiting until the child was older.
-
After the almost perfect first section, the second section started from the 21st bar, and the double-tone performance technique appeared. Lin Youyou subconsciously raised the judging standard again.

Playing double-tone well is one of the absolute difficulties for most children of this age, and children from several primary schools attached to famous music schools cannot be ruled out.

Children's comprehension ability is not as good as that of adults. It is difficult for them to consciously understand that the two sounds they press at the same time require different fingertip strength at different times.

Sometimes the high tone is heavier, sometimes the lower tone is heavier, and sometimes it is necessary to balance the volume of the two tones.

In reality, being able to press the keys neatly with two fingers at the same time is already excellent for most piano boys.

After hearing this young player's excellent performance in the first half, Lin Youyou naturally looked forward to the other half's performance.

On the stage, this episode can be said to be Che Lin's little history of blood and tears.

Because this song was given to her by Teacher Tian, ​​Teacher Tian didn't ask her any questions here at that time, and when Teacher Li asked her for it, she had already practiced it fluently.

"It must be changed."

She wanted to change, but it was easier said than done.

Even if it is not easy, she has to change it, even if it is a group of sounds, she wants to play it like Teacher Li said.

Heaven pays off, after a week of skating, the teacher finally said it was ok.

At this moment, she is playing this passage with full energy, and she is trying her best to deploy her fingers to create a lively dance scene with double tones of different strengths.

At this moment, those who are interested may notice that there is something else in the eyes of the little girl in front of the piano.

Then the music came to an end happily in a clear rhythm and clear beat.

At the end of the performance, Xiao Che got up and turned to the auditorium to hold the piano and bow.

The first applause came from the left front of the auditorium. She stood up and looked, and saw Wang Xiaohu with a playful smile.

Then walked backstage amid warm applause.

Backstage, her father, aunt, and brother greeted her with the same applause. She took the water handed by her aunt, took a sip, and then asked her father for a mobile phone.

She wants to send a message to the teacher.
-
The game continues.

After contestant 142, there was no decent young contestant in half an hour. Lin Youyou was still thinking about the second dance song of contestant 142 from time to time.

The playing is really good, the double notes are neat and powerful, and it can be heard that part of the high-pitched area has been strengthened. The length of the quarter-note staccato is moderate, the rhythm is clear, and the finger-rhyme breathing continues the ease of the first paragraph.

The only small problem was that when she changed fingers with the same pronunciation, she heard the other party's wrist tend to tighten.

Although the other party did not leave until the end and exerted force with the fingertips, she still felt the subconscious subconscious pressure on the wrist. This probably only explained one problem, the child's repertoire had been changed.

But the change was very successful.

She gave Che Lin a score of 9.2.

Wang Xiaohu didn't know how much Che Lin had won, he only knew that the purpose of his trip today had been achieved.

Within 10 minutes after Che Lin left the field, he told Xu Li that he was hungry.

Xu Li accompanied Wang Xiaohu today because Wang Xiaohu told her at noon that she wanted to watch the professional group's competition in the afternoon, and Wang Xiaohu's math cram school in the afternoon also suddenly said that classes would be suspended for a week, so she brought Wang Xiaohu here.

Looking at her watch, it was five o'clock, so she took Wang Xiaohu and left.

On the way to dinner, she asked Wang Xiaohu, "Have you gained anything?"

Wang Xiaohu has gained a lot, Che Lin was the first person to look at after getting up, and said happily: "Big."

Xu Li smiled: "Then learn from your teacher and practice hard. Look at how well Che Lin plays."

When Wang Xiaohu heard his mother praise Che Lin, he had an inexplicable feeling that he couldn't follow suit.

She turned her head and said stiffly: "I will catch up with her next year."

Xu Li: "Blow it, you."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled.

The mother and son were eating when Xu Li's phone rang.

After communicating with the person on the phone, Xu Li finally said: "Okay, okay, goodbye."

Wang Xiaohu understood, and the evening English remedial class was also suspended for half a month.

Xu Li hung up the phone and sighed, thinking that the pair had finally arrived.

"I'll make you happy."

Xu Li shook her head, "Hurry up, let's go to grandma's house after eating."

"Yeah!!"

Wang Xiaohu felt that today couldn't be more perfect, "Mom, can I call the teacher later?"

Xu Li: "Let's do it during the day tomorrow. Your teacher has something important to do today, so don't disturb him."

Wang Xiaohu snorted.

Xu Li also didn't expect that Li An was not just a teacher who was good at communicating with children and came from a social training institution.

At that time, her mother told her on the phone that Xiaohu's piano teacher was going to have a baby and couldn't take care of Xiaohu. The school arranged for a new male teacher and asked her if she agreed.

Her thought at the time was very simple, as long as Xiaohu persisted in learning, she didn't care what kind of teacher she changed, not to mention that the male teacher might be stricter with Xiaohu, so she nodded in agreement.

First of all, he didn't expect that it was this young piano teacher who changed Xiaohu in just one summer.

Secondly, in addition to a prudent style of work and rich teaching experience, he also has strong professional skills.

She doesn't understand music.

But through the circle of friends posted by Yudong's academic teachers in the past two days, she learned that Li An went to Yanjing this time to participate in the Xinghai Cup competition, and it is also the most advanced professional group in China. powerful.

This result was evaluated by an outsider, and she had to give her a thumbs up.

There are genius-like people everywhere, but geniuses do not always belong to the world of ordinary people.

Compared with ordinary people who are geniuses, as long as their professional skills are ahead of most people, he has the qualifications to occupy a place in the industry.

Xu Li has worked hard in society for many years and has seen all kinds of people and things.

Looking at it now, Ang Lee may just have to start from a low point for some reasons, maybe the family’s original accumulation is insufficient, maybe industry competition is too much pressure on young people, etc., but she believes, The opponent may just need a little more luck to take a big step forward.

"mom."

"Say."

"I'm going to school tomorrow during the day!"

"...then tomorrow night."

At the same time, on the stage of the multimedia studio of Yudong Experimental Primary School, Qin Yong stopped, "Everyone, take a rest where you are."

Today was the first time that he led the students to join forces with the Lone Warrior, and the overall effect was pretty good, meeting his minimum expectations.

For the flute part, the chief teacher Chen Xuan put down the flute and quickly took out the phone to look at it. Seeing that there was no message, she put the phone away again.

She knew that Li An must still be listening to others in the concert hall. In the afternoon, she received the message that the other party had completed the stage on the way from Yudong to experiment.

Bawanyi: If I make it to the finals, will you come and see me?

It can be seen that the opponent should have played very well in the third round.

At that time, she wanted to say, I want to fly over now.

restraint.

restraint.

Xiaomi: Then I have to think about it
Bawanyi: miss you

Restrain X100!

Xiaomi: Huh, can you play a long video tonight? -
"The eighth contestant, Huang Yijia, was selected by the Yenching Conservatory of Music."

The applause still rang out, but it was far less surging than the moment when No. [-] contestant Liang Chunyu finished playing.

Ang Lee had to say that listening to Liang Chunyu live really gave people the feeling of having a personal concert.

From a pure audience point of view.

When the other party came on stage, he was full of aura, and he exuded a kind of self-confidence from head to toe.

It's not the kind of disgusting arrogance or pretentiousness, but that the other party stops at the piano, and you can't help but feel that this square inch of territory belongs to the other party.

This is how he feels when the opponent is on the field.

As for what he said after listening to the other party's Walstein.

from a pure audience perspective.

He couldn't say how unexpected he was, probably because he was expecting too much, after all, the opponent was a seed player of the Huaguo Academy.

I didn’t hear Wu Fusheng and Gao Jinhan who played the first two games. I only compared Zeng Mengqiu, Jiang Sheng, and South Korean player Park Dongjian. Li An only felt that Liang Chunyu was stronger than Zeng Mengqiu and Park Dongjian among the three, and better than Jiang Sheng. Only slightly stronger.

If you put aside your personal preference between tracks, he even thinks that the performance of the two in today's round can be tied.

Jiang Sheng's Sonata No. 31 in A flat major today really surprised him. It seems that he underestimated this female contestant before.

There was an obvious mistake in Zeng Mengqiu's third movement, which was heard by most of the audience, and it was somewhat regrettable, except for that mistake, it was basically perfect.

Then there is Park Dong Gun, who has no problems with his enthusiasm from beginning to end, full of emotion and skillful skills, but he doesn't impress him, unlike Jiang Sheng's A-flat major.

From the perspective of a contestant, Li An must admit that the above-mentioned contestants all have one thing that he does not possess——

music library.

If there is another round of Beethoven's sonatas, Ang Lee feels that he really can't come up with any repertoire that can compete with these people on this stage.

But he believed that these people still had ammunition available, and he could feel from yesterday's piano trial stage that the repertoire volume of these people was astonishingly large.

But no matter what, he thought he already had his place among these people.

He believes that his farewell today cannot be replicated by the other 14 people present.

Maybe even he can't copy it.

It doesn't matter, he already holds the key to open that door.
