Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 235 230. Dialogue with Beethoven, Maverick of the Times

Before Li An left, he knew that this afternoon's work would be relatively busy. Wei Sanwan told him on the phone that he would decide on the festival poster plan, the promotional copy of the program list, and draw up the program flow this afternoon.

The preparatory work of the college has been completed, and the next matters need to be participated by Li An himself.

After all, this is still his solo recital.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, he rushed to school in a hurry.

The students are already on vacation, and in such a winter afternoon, the quiet campus looks a bit bleak.

After entering the gate, Li An tightened his scarf and rushed directly to the agreed place.

studio.

The location of the Alto master class.
-
At the moment, there is a baby grand piano in the center of the clean and tidy stage, and two chairs are placed in front of the piano.

Backstage, a young woman with a one-handed camera is looking downstage.

In the shot, there are two people sitting in the first row of the auditorium.

A young man with black-rimmed eyes was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.

Sitting next to the young man was a middle-aged man who kept looking at his watch.

Five minutes later, seeing that the agreed time was one minute away, the middle-aged man was about to call Ang Li when footsteps came from the side door of the studio.

The middle-aged man looked up, and at the same time, the camera on the stage was aimed at the entrance of the studio. The young man who had kept his eyes closed also opened them, and then stood up.

At this moment, the side door of the studio was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in, and Li An seemed to be blown in by the wind.

Li An walked into the gate, and there were three people in his field of vision. Then he looked at Mr. Yu five meters away, and he stopped and walked over.

"Mr. Yu."

The middle-aged man is Yu Li, who is the person in charge of the student union office of the school. Most of the large-scale performances in the school are planned by him.

Including the stage arrangement of the master class, the graduation concert of graduate students, etc., are under his control.

Yu Li thought that Li An was going to be late, so he took two steps forward and stretched out his hand, "It's quite windy outside today, it must be freezing."

Li An smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the other party, "The weather is forecast to cool down in two days." As he spoke, he looked at the young man beside him from the corner of his eye.

Yu Li nodded, then turned sideways to the young man in the middle, "Come on Li An, let me introduce you."

"Fu Tianming, the stage director of this concert."

Yu Li said that Fu Tianming had stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Hi, Fu Tianming, I don't have any hobbies, I usually like to write and write."

stage director?Write something?
The stage director of this concert should be Mr. Wei.

Li An was puzzled, and his hands were already held together with the other party, "Hello, Li An, piano teacher."

Fu Tianming nodded, "I know, I've been watching that interview with you for the past two days, it's very warm, I like it very much."

Ang Lee: "Thank you."

Looking at the scene with all my strength, it seems that there is no need for him to stay here anymore.

Originally, his task today was to arrange for the two young people to meet.

"Okay, then you young people talk, and I won't interrupt."

"Uncle Yu, you are busy."

"Goodbye, Teacher Yu."

When Yu Li left for the last time, he gave Fu Tianming his last look. Coupled with the sound of Uncle Yu, Li An felt that this Fu Tianming should have some other identity.

But these are not important, since Teacher Yu has explained, the rest of today's communication work is between him and Fu Tianming.

He thinks it's good, and young people should communicate better.

After Lao Yu left, the two young people chatted briefly, and the atmosphere relaxed while talking and laughing.

Li An felt that Fu Tianming was very kind.

"how did it get here?"

"bus."

Li An said as he took off his scarf and coat.

Fu Tianming: "You are thinner than you look in the camera."

Li Ang: "I guess I will gain weight in a few years."

At this time, there was a sound of "collapse", and the two looked back at the same time, only to see the young woman on the stage jumping off the stage.

"Wen Xiao, my fiancee, your emoji lover."

Fu Tianming introduced Li An.

"Hi, unlucky Mr. Li."

Wen Xiao lowered his left hand holding the camera, and walked over to say hello to Li An, laughing.

Li An was a little dumbfounded: "Hello, hello."

Fu Tianming: "Wen Xiao is a photographer, this time she will participate in recording the front and back of the concert."

Wen Xiao raised the camera in his hand, "We have to work hard and contribute more wonderful expressions."

It seems that the stalk of the emoji can't be passed, "I'll try my best," Li An chose to accept it calmly, and then looked at Fu Tianming, "Then let's start."

Fu Tianming: "Haven't we already started?"

Wen Xiao had set up the camera again, and stepped back while talking, "You can just pretend that I don't exist."

fresh.

In just a few moments, Ang Lee felt that the concert seemed to be different, at least not as he expected.

Before Wei Sanwan said that he didn't care about anything else.

But why did he feel that the stage team this time didn't seem to be recruited by the academy, but it's hard to say, maybe the academy has also started to keep pace with the times.

"Let's talk on stage."

Fu Tianming invited Li An to the stage.

"Walk."

Li Anke is no stranger to this stage.

"Li An, sit on the right side."

"it is good."

Wen Xiao's camera has already focused on the two chairs on the stage. The two of them are sitting, and Li An's facing angle is just opposite to the castanets raised by the piano.

She has been looking for this camera angle all morning.
-
Ang Lee never thought that the first question the other party discussed with him had nothing to do with the concert or music.

Fu Tianming: "I've been watching your interview over and over for the past two days, and I have a few questions I want to ask you again, is that okay?"

Ang Lee: "Please tell me."

Fu Tianming: "The reporter finally asked you, what is your biggest dream after you figure out what a piano is?"

"If you answer yes, you will probably still become a piano teacher."

"I think that in any field, as long as you can understand it, you are a teacher. Do you agree with this point of view?"

Ang Lee: "I agree."

Fu Tianming: "So what I want to ask you is, what motivated you to take a job as a piano teacher in the first place?"

Ang Lee: "Life forced me."

Fu Tianming: "That is to say, if you had a better career choice at the beginning, you would not choose a job like a piano teacher."

Ang Lee: "Probably not."

Fu Tianming: "Then what motivates you to choose piano teacher as your future career after you understand the piano thing. We have reached a consensus before that you will be a piano teacher at that time."

Ang Lee thought for a while: "I think the latter is more of a social label. A piano teacher can't just be a label. It is a profession. It needs to guide students to solve some specific problems in the interaction with students."

"I like to communicate with students and feel their mood and state. I always think that children who can sit in front of the piano are special."

Fu Tianming: "Including you, you are actually a child sitting in front of the piano."

Ang Lee: "Including me."

Fu Tianming: "Can you tell me the story between you and the students?"

On this issue, Li An can say too much.

When hearing this question from Fu Tianming, figures with very different personalities popped up in Li An's mind.

Naughty and loyal little tiger
Well-behaved and a little stubborn Xiaobei
Chicken Thieves still loves the cute little Liu.
Silent smart car.
Crying and laughing and still pressing the little wood on the piano.
sunny season
These children are undoubtedly the most impressive to him.

Although the two children who wrapped Ma Kechi and Yu were a little later than the previous ones with Li An, they were also unique in Li An's heart.

Each of them has a private story with Ang Lee.

However, due to the time, Li An only briefly talked about the jokes of a few of them in the life of learning piano.

Fu Tianming listened very attentively, or he couldn't be distracted, he seemed to have seen these vivid children from Li An's gentle tone.

Fu Tianming: "I can feel that they all like you."

Ang Lee: "It is estimated that bad things have been said about me behind my back, and sometimes I am strict."

Fu Tianming: "They will definitely come to this concert."

Li Ang: "It should be, after all, it's a holiday."

Fu Tianming: "Is there anything you want to say to your children about this concert?"

Li An smiled: "Why, it's like an interview."

Fu Tianming also laughed: "Take it as an interview, let's talk about it."

Wen Xiao's camera came to the stage at some point, looking at the camera closely, Li An blinked a few times.

moment.

"Well—say something."

Li An lowered his eyelids, looked at the crossed fingers on his chest, turned his head to look at Fu Tianming and said with a smile, "Let's re-record this part."

Fu Tianming didn't speak, his encouraging eyes flashed with anticipation.

He didn't expect that Ang Lee, who had calmed down in the third second after the accident at the final scene, was a little shy in front of such a small camera with such a question?

This contrast really filled him with anticipation, and he was very much looking forward to what Ang Lee would say in this state.

Seeing this, Ang Lee had to face the camera again.

Thinking about this concert, there is actually a lot he wants to say to the children.

He felt that he was ready, but the moment he opened his mouth, the black spots on the lens suddenly seemed to turn into cute faces.

"actually."

He pursed his lips.

"Actually, the teacher is also quite nervous. Well, I hope you can see a perfect concert in the end."

"in addition."

"After listening to this concert, remember to practice piano well this winter vacation."

As he spoke, he put his hands together and frowned reverently at the camera.

The camera freezes for about two seconds, and Wen Xiao gradually backs away.

Fu Tianming: "One concert, four Beethoven piano sonatas, where does the inspiration come from?"

Li An smiled embarrassedly: "Can you tell the truth?"

Fu Tianming: "I just like to hear you tell the truth."

Ang Lee: "Actually, the theme of this concert at the beginning was not based on Beethoven. I designed many plans."

Fu Tianming: "Then why did you use this trick in the end?"

Li Ang: "This episode can't be aired, just skip it."

The air was suddenly quiet.

Then the laughter of three young people sounded on the stage.

Amidst the laughter, Fu Tianming felt that this guy Li An didn't look so rigid, and he also had a talent for making things happen, "I understand, I understand."

Laugh and laugh.

On this issue, Ang Lee also said frankly that after he thought about it carefully, this set of repertoire should be the best choice.

"In other words, these works are more appropriate to my current state of being."

Fu Tianming: "Have we entered the next topic?"

Li Ang: "You are the director and you have the final say."

Fu Tianming: "I am a lover of classical music. Although I don't know any musical instruments, I personally like Beethoven's piano works very much."

Ang Lee: "For example."

Fu Tianming: "No. 20 and No. [-] and No. [-] are my favorites."

Ang Lee: "Pathetic and Rhododendron."

Fu Tianming: "When I was studying abroad in London, I would watch many concerts about Beethoven's works every year, whether it was symphony works, string quartets, or piano recitals. After listening to so many, my actual personal experience is ten. The players are ten Beethovens."

Ang Lee: "Beethoven's creative ideas are broad and involve many fields. I don't think it's surprising. Players can interpret any aspect of it."

Fu Tianming: "The literary giant Greer Patzer once said in his eulogy that Beethoven gave everything he had to the people, but got nothing from them, so he stayed away from the people."

"Do you think Beethoven is far from our time?"

Ang Lee: "Do you know what is the most obvious difference between Beethoven and other classical composers?"

Fu Tianming thought for a while, but he couldn't grasp what was behind Li An's question: "Not sure."

Ang Lee: "He never wears a wig."

Fu Tianming squeezed his eyebrows, then grinned.

Ang Lee: "Wigs were the standard equipment of court nobles in that era, which is equivalent to working in a large company now, and a suit and tie are necessary."

Fu Tianming: "Break the routine."

Ang Lee: "I think Beethoven has never been far away from any era, even today, Beethoven is around you and me,"

Fu Tianming: "So today we are still inseparable from Beethoven's music."

Li An shook his head: "The point of sublimation is wrong."

Fu Tianming: "You're messing with me again."

moment.

There was another burst of laughter on the stage.

Fu Tianming liked the feeling Li An gave him more and more: "All right, all right, then you come."

Ang Lee: "I think Beethoven's music cannot be separated from us today."

Fu Tianming slammed this sentence in his mouth, his eyes gradually lit up, "So we are going to hold such a concert with the theme of Beethoven."

Li An nodded with a smile, then turned to look at the piano behind him.

-

two hours later.

"So Li An, there are still things at home tonight, I have to go now, are you free tomorrow morning?"

"Tomorrow, should it be in the afternoon? Evening is also fine. I have to practice the piano tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll find you tomorrow afternoon."

"Row."

After exchanging phone calls and WeChat messages, three young people, Li An, Fu Tianming, and Wen Xiao, got dressed and left the studio together.

"Where are you going now, I'll see you off first."

"No, you have something to do, go get busy."
