Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 275 270. Street Artist, Piano Lover Xiao Ji
Everyone stopped and looked at the piano.

In front of the piano, Li An was already bowing with both hands.

The five fingers of the right hand jump steadily downward from the high-pitched area of ​​the keyboard, bringing out a series of complex scales full of graininess.

At the same time, the left hand jumps to two octaves away at a very fast speed after hitting a bell-like bass in the bass area, and plays brilliant chords with the exquisite touch of three fingers, bringing the theme of the introduction to the foreground. Since reappearing.

Between the left and right fights, the music unfolds like a vortex.

Chopin's Winter Wind Etude, op25no11.

As the concert etude that Xiao practiced the most, it requires the player's fingers not only to be fast and accurate.

At the same time, because of its length, it also poses a strict challenge to the player's finger endurance.

In order to attract more people's attention, Ang Lee temporarily decided to choose this work known for its flamboyant skills as the beginning of his round of performances.

It is obvious that his goal has been achieved, and there are already figures around him out of the corner of his eye.

Accompanied by the unbearably exciting and bright melody, passers-by unreservedly sent their admiring eyes to the back in front of the piano.

For them, the piano is no stranger.

For Harmony first-floor lobby, the piano sound doesn't have any rarity attributes either.

Customers or staff who often walk into the first floor of Harmony Plaza through the east gate on weekend afternoons must have such an experience.

As soon as you enter the door, you can hear the immature sound of the piano, just like the smell of perfume from the cosmetics store next door, which makes people unable to escape.

Looking at the source of the sound, you can see that the door hanging "Gaile Art Training Center" is open to the outside.

Those who are interested can also see the children playing the piano through the completely transparent glass wall.

But looking at the player in front of the piano at this moment, he seems to be using all the joints of his body to play the piano, raising his hands and dropping the keys between his arched back, and his wrists, arms and shoulders are striking the piano in a chasing and comfortable cooperation. Then let the piano emit a shocking sound.

For most of them, this kind of performance they have only seen on TV and the Internet.

"when!"

Another dull, sharp bass sound.

For a moment, the atmosphere around the piano seemed to freeze, and the hall was shrouded in a strong sense of oppression.

The trumpet-like motives in the music are galloping again.

Li An raised his hands, and then lowered them again. His hands moved from the left side of the keyboard to the right side of the keyboard at a very ornamental speed and synchronized with finger movements.

The passers-by and audience closest to the piano had forgotten to breathe, and saw the hands endlessly moving to the right, to the right, and to the right again!

Suddenly the music suddenly stopped!

As Li An gently raised his hands to the right, he closed his hands, and the music finally ended completely with an ascending three octaves in A-law minor.

After a moment of silence, there were cheers and applause from around.

"I'm awesome!"

It must be said that this sound is very street.

Very down to earth.

Also very direct.

Awesome.

The young man who yelled so awesome almost blurted out subconsciously, or he couldn't find any better words.

Among the onlookers, Ji Yang seemed a little silent, as if he was thinking about something.
-
The messy hall scene had already attracted the staff, but the staff member had no choice but to smile and leave in the lively atmosphere after figuring out the situation.

The piano is placed here for customers to play.

At this time, An Li stood up from the piano, turned around while playing the piano, took off his mask, smiled and nodded around.

However, no one recognized him like yesterday at the subway station.

Looking up again, many figures protruding from the guardrail also looked here.

Not bad.

Turning around and sitting down, Li An raised his hands and pressed the keys again.

The soothing sound of the piano sounded, which made some passers-by who were about to leave stop again.

When someone goes, someone comes.

The time is spent little by little in the wonderful sound of the piano.

After playing Dongfeng, Li An played Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major, and then played three Xiao Lian pieces that are common in the art examination room, including Ji Yang's black key.

Now he is playing Liszt's Dream of Love.

For passers-by listeners, compared to the previous tracks, they are more familiar with this dream of love, as if they have heard this romantic melody that weaves dreams into music.

At this moment, Ang Lee's performance gives people a quiet and soft feeling, and the music like pouring out resonates in the hearts of passers-by.

More and more people approached the music. Some people had already descended to the first floor and came near the hall, and some people had been lying on the railing quietly watching for more than half an hour.

A group of teachers and students from Yale also came here at some time.

The children may not know it, but their teachers know Ang Lee.

As a teacher of a training institution, Li An has indeed jumped into another world.

"Wow—"

At the end of the performance of Dream of Love, Ang Lee put on his coat, put on a mask and pushed away the piano bench amid applause, and the surrounding crowd made way for him.

"Thank you."

While talking to the people around him, Li An stepped out of the crowd.

He hadn't walked a few meters before someone walked out of the crowd and followed behind him.

"Teacher Li, wait a moment."

A strange voice came from behind.

Li An stopped and turned around, he seemed to have seen the smiling face before him somewhere.

Then the other party took out a business card.

He took it for a moment.
-
ended?
not at all.

At the moment when the crowd gradually dispersed, Xiao Ji walked out of the crowd, went to the piano and took off her down jacket.

another one?
Looking at the short-haired girl who had already sat in front of the piano, people stopped again with some kind of curiosity.

A gaze may not have warmth, but one piece after another, the gazes from upstairs and downstairs in all directions gather together, and it becomes a roast.

Sitting in the position where the teacher sat just now, Xiao Ji felt his butt was a little hot.

But she knew that at this moment she had to sit here and take over the teacher's stick.

She listened very carefully to every piece the teacher played just now.

This time she did not take out the mobile phone video, she wanted to see every nuance of the teacher playing in the open air crowd.

Then she found that the teacher was here, no different from being on the stage.

The kind of strong confidence that raised his hand made people feel that this place has become a stage because of his sitting down.

She admired the appeal of this kind of behavior from the bottom of her heart, and she hoped that one day in the future, she would also have the demeanor of a teacher.

But the future is still far away.

Now it was her turn to perform, with so many people watching.

This is the first time in her life.

It stands to reason that she should still be a little nervous, but now she has no extra emotions, and her heart is as calm as the end of a dream of love.

Maybe it's the two days of running around that made her thick-skinned, or maybe it's the two days of running around that made her fully realize her current true level.

After listening to the repertoire that the teacher played just now, she has often listened to it in the art examination room recently, including her black key.

She realized her childishness.

In the first examination room, she felt that she played very well. She heard that several other students did not play as well as herself. Stop feeling a little dissatisfied.

But when she arrived at the re-examination room of Rongda University, her performance was not as satisfactory as in the first examination room of Rongyuan University. This dissatisfaction was directly magnified by the crazy second performance of the previous candidate.

Rather than saying that the other party played well, it is better to say that her negative emotions caused by her performance not meeting expectations were at fault.

But now thinking about the teacher's performance just now, she really understood what the teacher said in the car and the true meaning of that early birthday gift.

"Everything you see right now is only temporary."

Recalling the video of the teacher’s graduation concert, she admitted that she had a strong filter when she watched it. Because the teacher played it, she couldn’t feel that it was not good enough, let alone admit that it was not good enough.

But thinking about it now, it is precisely because of this blindly worshiping filter that attenuated the state of hard work that the teacher had in her mind over the years after graduation.

She knew that the teacher must have worked hard these years, but this was just a conclusion drawn by subconscious thinking.

How could the teacher not work hard.

However, she just saw the teacher playing one difficult piece after another easily surrounded by the crowd, and she suddenly realized that the teacher is really good.

Taking off all the filters, she saw clearly that a mediocre piano undergraduate who graduated three years ago has transformed into a teacher comparable to a young pianist.

Without stage lights, without performance gowns, walking out of the classroom, in such an environment, the teacher showed the purest high-end performance of a pianist.

This is the real level.

From the perspective of a pure listener, from the perspective of an art candidate, Ji Yang really learned a lot today.

Compared with this level, what is there to be complacent about her performance in the first test? Compared with this level, the classmate who plays Kuang Er seems to have nothing special
"So we have to keep calm at all times and maintain a normal mind."

What the teacher said was really good.

Only by maintaining a normal mind can you see yourself clearly and the path under your feet.

The big deal is that I won’t pass the exam this year, and I’ll just repeat it for another year.

Ji Yang's heart thumped twice, and then she felt a sense of relief that was different from thinking about this question before.

She is looking forward to the day when she receives the admission letter from the Piano Department of Rongyuan Academy.

When you know yourself, you can see exactly what you want.

"Every stage of us can be seen as our new starting point, but what we must do is to persevere and do our best for what we love."

Ji Yang likes to play the piano. Even before Li An appeared, she never slacked off in front of the piano.

Now it was her turn to perform, with so many people watching.

This is the first time in her life.

Perhaps it is also her new starting point.
-
The silent girl in front of the piano suddenly raised her hand, and the atmosphere changed again.

Finger drop.

The sound of the piano is not as loud as the last player, and there are no clear lines, but everyone around the piano can feel the vigor emanating from the girl when she is playing.

Not bad.

Passers-by feel better the more they listen.

Not to mention, it might be because a beautiful little girl came to play in front of the piano, and the number of people around is still increasing.
-
In front of the Mingchuang Premium Store on the third floor, Li An leaned on the railing and sighed in relief.

Ji Yang did it.

Yesterday's breakthrough was not a flash in the pan.

If Ji Yang's outstanding performance in Book City, Xingyue World, and Subway Station today is because he has become familiar with the environments of the three places after yesterday, then he didn't bring Ji Yang to Harmony Square yesterday.

And compared to the other three places, this place has the densest crowd of onlookers.

Facing such intense gazes, coupled with the atmosphere he left behind on the scene, Ji Yang was able to withstand the pressure to bounce to this level, as a teacher, he had nothing to say.

Awesome.

After two days of training on mentality, Ji Yang has reached the standard with him.

Then there is a comprehensive small assessment left.

As his last lesson to prepare for Ji Yang before entering the re-examination room.

Li An took out his phone and called Song Sheng.

The day before yesterday, the two of them agreed to set aside one night for Ji Yang to go to Blue Whale for a real social practice.

Song Sheng asked Li An to set a good time and just listen to him and talk to him in advance.

Li An decided to set it up tomorrow night.

Let Ji Yang take a good rest and relax the day after tomorrow to prepare for the retest on the 27th.

"Brother Song, let's do it tomorrow night."

"Okok, if you don't have time tomorrow, you can let him come here by himself, just don't worry if I'm here."

"I have to go. If the child can't do it, I have to take her place."

"Hahaha, see Teacher Li tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Li An found a place to sit down and browse Taobao. Ji Yang's business was about to end, and he was about to return to the old age for the New Year.

The first time I go home, I don’t want to be empty-handed, I have to buy New Year’s gifts for my old parents, and my grandparents and grandparents are also indispensable.

Several old people have always been careful about his grandson.

"What should I buy?"
-
An hour later, when there was no sound from the piano, Li An put away his phone and took the elevator back to the first floor.

As soon as he got out of the elevator door, his phone rang.

"Teacher, where can I find you?"

"Look at the ladder."

From a distance, Ang Li saw a silly figure holding a phone, walking back and forth in front of the Starbucks window like a crab.

Seeing Ji Yang turning his head, he put down the phone and quickened his pace.
-
"Teacher, where are we going tomorrow?"

On the way back to Yudong's office building, Ji Yang asked.

Li Ang: "Haven't you transferred enough in the past two days? I have to go to class tomorrow."

Ji Yang hurriedly explained: "Teacher, I didn't mean that. I just thought you had some other plans for tomorrow, and I didn't want to delay you any longer."

Li An casually patted Ji Yang's shoulder, "Okay, okay, take a rest during the day tomorrow, and touch the little tunes you've played in the past two days. You don't need to practice too much, just play for an hour or two. .”

"I'll take you to dinner tomorrow night."

Ji Yang heard the feast: "Really?!"

"real."

Li An stopped and turned around, "You have worked so hard these two days, I plan to reward you well."

Ji Yang was so touched that it was obviously the teacher who asked for leave these two days to accompany him to toss.

"Teacher~"

Li An smiled: "I won't see you off today, hurry home while it's still light, and send me a message when you get home."

"See you tomorrow, teacher!"

Watching Ji Yang leave, Li An walked into the lobby of the office building, and before waiting for a while, Chen Xuan came down.

"Let's go too."

The two went out arm in arm and then took a taxi to Meizhuang.
-
"Guess who I met in Harmony just now?"
