Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 52 52. Inspiration and Ideas from the Master
' An experienced teacher or player is able to substitute one fingering for another if required. '

’ But before that requires a completely firm finger, certain etudes must be played in all keys with one fingering. '

'For example, when playing Czerny's etudes in different tones, you will encounter difficulties in the conversion between various black keys and white keys, which can not only develop the toughness of each finger well, Learn to let your fingers react quickly when they meet new combinations, and on the other hand, you can strengthen your listening. '

Playing Czerny etudes in different keys, just thinking about the thin layer on the back of Ang Lee's neck.
As Beethoven's most proud student, Czerny not only exists as a piano composer.

He wrote countless piano etudes throughout his life, which are the basic teaching materials for countless pianists to practice for more than 200 years.

His place lies in building a solid bridge between Beethoven's time and modern piano performance.

His disciple Liszt inherited his mantle, blossomed and spread leaves, and ruled the European piano circle for nearly 80 years.

It can be said that every pianist today is a student of Czerny.

"Play Czerny etudes in different keys."

It was too bold, too imaginative.

As expected of a person who can create a branch of the performance genre with just one person.

Turn the pages.

Um?
Li An froze, unable to turn over.

Ok.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

After closing the page, he got out of bed and moved around the room. He didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment. It would be great if Xin Dao had a piano at home.

So far, Ang Lee has not only found a solution to the thumb, but also has a practice idea for the clip of quick guidance of the black and white keys.

He's been stuck at this stage for two years now.

In the past two years, he has tried various ways to improve, and practiced a lot like a headless chicken. Except for some additions to his personal music library, his actual performance level has not improved much.

Now with a new purpose, he sees a new direction

At the moment when he found that the page couldn't be turned, he really felt insecure for a moment, just like you just started studying with a good teacher, and the teacher suddenly disappeared in a blink of an eye.

But after thinking about it, life is not like this. On the way forward, every step is full of unknowns.

At least for the next half a year, he already knows how to practice.

When he came to the living room window, Li An reopened Samir's notes and read them again.

In the bedroom separated by a wall, Chen Xuan turned off Legend of Zhen Huan and turned on Breaking Bad.

After watching for a while, she changed to a good voice again.

After watching Good Voice for a while, she changed to Friends again.

After watching Friends for a while, she put down her phone and went to the living room to do sit-ups.

After sweating profusely, took a shower and returned to bed, she picked up her phone again.

She found that the melons on Weibo were not good today.

I can't watch the dramas I used to like today.

So she chose to blow dry her hair and sleep.

But when she closed her eyes, she wanted to get up and find something to do.

But don't know what else to do.

She originally wanted to go out with Sun Yuman to go crazy, but when she stepped on the high heels, she realized that she didn't have such a thing in her bones.

After slipping her shoes back on the bed and picking up her phone, she opened Zhen Huan's Legend again.

She never thought that she could be so unlucky.

A brand new day came so quietly, Li An got up from the bed as if he had been injected with chicken blood before dawn.

Boil water in a pot, wash your face and brush your teeth while the water is boiling, put dried noodles in the water, use the time of cooking noodles to shovel cat food and put cat poop on Bawan.

A bowl of Laoganma noodles started his day.

I thought they would be the first ones to come downstairs at 07:30, but when I walked into the lobby, I found that Xu Nana was already waiting for the elevator.

"Morning, Teacher Li."

"It's better to be Teacher Xu." Li An knew that Xu Nana lived far away.

Because of the distance between the offices, the two of them basically had no communication at ordinary times, and now they were competitors with very delicate rankings, so they didn't say anything in the elevator.

After getting out of the elevator, the sound of the piano came from the teaching area on the west side.

"Looks like there was an earlier one." Xu Nana smiled, turned around and said goodbye, then walked towards the east office.

Li An also quickly came to his classroom.

Practiced with Lin Pengfei next door.

Starting from the C major scale, Ang Lee no longer consciously imposes consciousness into each finger today, but lets the ten fingers run by themselves.

After observing carefully for an hour, he found that running his entire wrist in this state seemed to be liberated, and the voice sounded more natural.

But the problem also arises, the finger will lose control from time to time.

After practicing scales for another hour, after careful observation, he found that the fingers that often lost control were the index finger of the left hand, the thumb and ring finger of the right hand.

After confirming the problem with the three fingers, Li An turned on the phone to record, and started the special training of the three fingers just like he once taught Ji Yang to repeat incessantly.

Today and tomorrow, his goal is to find out if the practice works.

If it works, he will continue to strengthen it according to this method, and re-establish the muscle memory of these three fingers.

If it doesn't work, he will find another way.

This is the process of finding a practice method. Even if you know the root of the problem, you still have to find the solution by yourself. Even if the teacher tells you the method may not be completely suitable for you.

As long as the general direction is correct, the rest is only a matter of time.

Has anyone been able to sit at the piano and practice scales at 60 beats all day long?

Lin Pengfei thought that only a fool and his German professor would do such a thing.

But in his opinion, Li An is definitely not a fool, so he urgently wants to know why he will be on stage the day after tomorrow night, but Li An spends his time on this matter at this juncture.

He was not the only one who didn't understand, including Chen Xuan, Zhang Youwei, and Ding Jie in the teaching area on the west side.

Chen Xuan has reviewed all four tenth-grade etudes today to the point of reciting scores. Although she doesn't want to think of Li An, she can't pretend that she can't hear them even though there is a wall between the two of them.

From a colleague's point of view, she wanted to remind Ang Lee that practicing the piano should not be too trivial sometimes.

Of course, she just said this in her heart.

However, they didn't know how happy Ang Lee was sitting in front of the piano today.

So much so that when it came to class on Saturday, Li An's class had some changes.

The first class of Wang Xiaohu.

"Come on Xiaohu, the teacher will play with you today."

Wang Xiaohu is certainly happy that someone is willing to accompany him. The teacher and the student practice together. Li continues to experience the feeling of learning to walk again while talking.

"Teacher, why are you playing slower and slower?"

"I'm not slow, it's because your sixteenth notes are running too fast, Xiaohu, remember, no matter we sing or play any musical instrument, we must establish a concept of speed in our hearts, come and count the beat with me, count out sound."

"1—2—3—4—"
