Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 569 268. Wishes are beautiful, reality is skinny

Eighty Wan in the corner didn't know what that man was doing there.

A big fool.
-
10 minute later.

The Vivaldi in the computer player ended, and then a very ecstatic prelude sounded.

Automatically cut songs.

The one, two, and three people looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes were a little weird.

Teacher, do you still listen to this kind of music?

then.

'I miss you day after day. '

'Lonely, I still haven't changed'

'Beautiful dreams can appear again only when they are suitable'

'The person you love most is me, how can you let me feel sad'

Hearing this sentence, Liu Fengrui lowered his head, what and what.

Xiaoche knew this song very well. Her father would howl every time he went to the KTV. The song was called "How can you let me be sad" and "Annie". These two songs were all about music when she was a child, both coming from her father.

Ji Yang doesn't feel anything at all, but the lyrics are a bit biased. Do you love it or not? What does it have to do with others? How can I let you feel sad? Tsk, tsk, tsk, bad review.

At this moment, the study door was pushed open, and the three children looked at each other in unison.

When Li An saw this song playing randomly on the player, he quickly walked to the computer and turned off the music.

Xiao Ji was really not joking, she was just curious: "Teacher, is this your playlist?"

This really wasn’t Ang Lee’s playlist, but he couldn’t explain it clearly, so he confusedly said, “It happened seven or eight years ago.”

Xiao Ji: "Wow, teacher, you liked listening to these kinds of songs when you were young."

Li An curled his lips: "Why are you so gossipy? Besides, am I not young now?"

Xiao Ji grinned: "Young!"

Li An looked at Xiaoche, who nodded: "Young!"

Xiao Liu followed closely behind, and without waiting for the teacher to look at him: "Young!"

Hmph, Li An finally showed a satisfied smile, "After listening to it once, how is it? Do you have any new insights?"

Xiao Ji: "Yes."

Car: "Yes."

Xiao Liu: “Yes, but not many.”

Li An nodded: "It doesn't matter if it's too much, let's try it."

Two pianos, four parts.

Xiao Che and Ji Yang play the same piano, and Li An and Xiao Liu play the same piano.

The four teachers and students sat in front of Damizi and Xiaohei respectively.

Except for Li An, all three children used paper music scores, and Li An used Chen Xuan’s tablet.

"Relax."

As he spoke, Ang Lee glanced around and said, "Don't look at me. Everyone will watch one by then."

Xiao Liu and Xiao Che looked at their senior sister Ji Yang.

Li An continued: "Ji Yang, after you make sure you are looking at each other, raise your hands to make a preparatory movement. At this time, everyone will follow your breathing. Let's find the opportunity together and let our fingers fall together."

"Do you understand everything?"

Third child: "I understand."

Li Ang: "Okay, let's try the beginning, slow down first, da, da, da, da."

After getting the speed prompt, Xiao Ji had an idea.

Xiao Ji took a deep breath, and Li An, Xiao Che and Xiao Liu looked sideways at the same time.

After making sure to make eye contact with everyone, Xiao Ji gently raised his hands.

The next second, as her arm fell.

The four teachers and students played the first beat with their fingers down at the same time.

"Dang!" It was very neat.

At the moment when the car's powerful two-hand column chords sounded, Li An Jiyang started the melody with his right hand, and at the same time, Xiao Liu also played the same melody two octaves lower than Li An.

Eight hands, two pianos, the movement created in an instant is very magnificent.

The beautiful melody lines are supported by the bass rhythm, and the color of Baroque music suddenly fills the entire room.

The three children were amazed by this movement to varying degrees.

Xiao Ji: It sounds good.

Xiao Liu: Wow.

Car: Interesting.

Listening to string recordings is one feeling, practicing mono part at home is another feeling, and actually sitting in front of the piano as a performer and playing is another feeling.

The three of them immediately discovered the joy of playing in an ensemble with serious classical music scores.

Immerse yourself in this state with no distractions.

The music reaches the eighth measure smoothly.

In the ninth measure, Xiao Liu made his first mistake. He missed an eighth rest, and a sound that shouldn't have appeared appeared in his voice.

Li An heard that Xiao Liu was wrong, but he didn't stop immediately. He thought of going down first.

But Xiao Liu, who played the wrong song, panicked, and then he never kept up, causing the music to be interrupted when it reached the No. 11 bar.

Of course, the key part of the entire paragraph is missing here. If Marco was here, he might have been able to get through it just now.

"It doesn't matter." Ang Lee comforted Xiao Liu, "Let's start over again. We must pay attention to this empty shot and the rest of the consecutive small sections. We must count the right beats. If you make a mistake, it will be a disaster. Use a pen to mark it. .”

The four masters and disciples started again.
-
One afternoon was really not enough. It was 05:30 in a blink of an eye, and the sky outside the window was already looking a little tired.

Such is the case with rehearsals, in which things pass away.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, after a complete walk, Ang Lee announced the end loudly.

It's just that the three children all seemed a little unfinished.

There was no trace of fatigue on any of their faces, as if they would have no problem even if they stayed for another three hours.

"Teacher, what do you think of this place?" Xiao Ji asked excitedly.

Looking at the expectant expressions on the three children's faces, Li An certainly couldn't say anything bad.

"Very good." After saying that, he got up and led the three of them to the living room, giving each of them a bottle of water.

Xiao Liu: "Teacher, when can we get together?"

Li An: "Let's go to Yudong Campus tomorrow afternoon."

It was agreed to gather at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Li An sent the three children downstairs and gave them some instructions on what they should pay attention to when they go home to practice.

"See you tomorrow, teacher."

"See you tomorrow."

After sending the children away, Li An returned to the study and opened the recording sent by Lin Youyou that day, and listened carefully for a while.

In the end he gave up the idea of ​​a symphonic ensemble.

It's a shame, because there were a few clips this afternoon that he already thought were great.

But a complete piece of music cannot be composed of just a few fragments.

Looking back at the rehearsal process throughout the afternoon, we found that the speed was mostly off the track, the voices were fighting, the voices were not neat, and the voices were unbalanced.

This is a question reflected in the music.

In terms of personal issues, including Xiao Che and Ji Yang, as long as Ang Lee emphasized playing the piano as a string, various situations followed one after another.

It's as if the child won't know how to play if he thinks this way.

Hey.

It's also his fault, because he thinks too much, obviously they are just a few amateur kids.

It would be nice to have a few standout moments.

Besides, this afternoon is not fruitless. Judging from the current situation, the framework has been released.

Let's go back to his original idea, and join Xiaobei and three others tomorrow, so that the seven of them can be unified in the end.

Having said that, during dinner, Chen Xuan still found Li An unhappy.

He said with relief, "The seven of us will listen to the effect tomorrow together."

Ang Lee: "Yes."
-
Early the next morning, the three of Marco, Xiaobei and Xiaohu arrived on time.

Like yesterday, Ang Lee first told the three children about the corresponding instruments used by each part in playing this piece.

The effect was OK, all three children understood it well, especially Wang Xiaohu, who seemed to have done his homework in advance and asked several in-depth questions in succession, and Li An answered them one by one.

But in the practical ensemble, he did not continue with yesterday's rehearsal method, but focused on each child's fingering rhythm.

After all, these three children don't need to be brilliant, to ensure that they don't make mistakes, as long as they can make their voices move smoothly in the music.

But even so, the three children only managed to complete the chart in the end.

"Take a break at noon and see you at Yudong Campus at 02:30 in the afternoon."

After the rehearsal, Li An sent his three children downstairs and took a car to Yudong Office Building.

I had already said hello to the old director last night. From this afternoon to tomorrow morning, Li An will requisition the largest piano classroom on the Yudong campus, which is the classroom where the piano octet was arranged last year.

The ninth floor where the exams had just ended had completely become the domain of the Art Examination Department. Li An walked out of the elevator and met Wang Panpan who was on duty. "Boss."

Li An nodded: "Who will be on duty here in the afternoon?"

Wang Panpan: "At three o'clock, Gao Yang will take over from me."

Li An: "Those children will come over around 02:30. Keep an eye on them and ask them to go directly to Dongyi Classroom to find me."

Wang Panpan: "okok."

Li An briefly tidied up the Dongyi classroom, and then used his lunch time to practice the piano.

On the way, Chen Xuan came over to bring him food, and the two discussed the details of the afternoon rehearsal.

At a quarter past two, Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui arrived first.

Then three people from the small carriage, Ma Ke and Xiao arrived one after another, and finally Ji Yang.

"Okay, just stop."

As Ji Yang entered the room, Li An put down his music and clapped his hands, interrupting several children who were practicing.

"Let's divide the seats for this recital first."

"Ji Yang, you have a piano by yourself."

Xiao Ji nodded.

"Xiao Bei, you and I use the same piano."

Xiao Bei nodded.

"Che Lin, you and Marco."

The cart and pony nodded at the same time.

Finally, Li An looked at Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui, "You two, be careful not to fight."

Regarding whether four people should use four pianos or seven pianos, Ang Lee finally chose four.

Artillery has been marked on the score, and there are two methods for the performer to choose.

But if you choose to play with four pianos, you must allocate the parts according to the above.

If you do not follow such a sound part spectrum, there will be a fight in the sound area.

For example, if Part One and Part Two are played on the same piano, it will be a joke, because the contents of the first eleven measures of the two parts are exactly the same.

When we get together, one person can only watch the other person play.

"Teacher, why don't you and Liu Fengrui be transferred away?"

Wang Xiaohu's eyes wandered. He had some ideas, but he was sternly rejected.

"No." After Li An explained it to the children, the children exchanged a pair of music scores with each other, and sure enough they found that the parts on the piano could not be interchanged at will.

"Adjust your actions now." With an order, the children started to move.

Li An went to the second piano and sat on Xiaobeiyou's right, "I don't need to say much, I've already said what needs to be said yesterday, so be confident, you're all right."

Then he said to Ji Yang, "Get ready."

At the same time, the five children were waiting to look at their senior sister.

Ji Yang responded with affirmative looks one by one.

The next second, fourteen hands fell down neatly.

"when!!"

The majestic sound suddenly resounded throughout the classroom and spread throughout the corridor through the cracks in the door.

After a while, two waves of people came to watch the fun.

Li An didn't care either. He was quite satisfied with the complete completion of the first pass.

Although various problems were exposed, everyone still persisted until the end, and there was no interruption in the three movements.

This is due to the arrangement of voices yesterday and today.

"Awesome, awesome." Lin Pengfei applauded.

Xiaobei was startled by the voice behind her. She had been so engrossed that she didn't realize anyone had entered the classroom.

Several children turned around and followed Li An when they heard the sound. In the corner, Deng Shiqi, Wang Panpan, Lin Pengfei, Ni Hongjie and a female teacher they had never seen before were applauding them.

The children seemed particularly excited to have finished the song completely for the first time. Coupled with the applause, they all showed happy expressions.

Lin Pengfei: "Brother An, we won't affect you here."

Ang Lee: "I'm worried about the lack of audience. Why don't I bring you some melon seed drinks."

Wang Panpan: "That's good."

Ang Lee: "Okay, you are willing to stay, but don't send me Moments. This is my secret weapon."

The crowd laughed.

Ni Hongjie: "Don't worry, Brother An, hurry up and arrange yours. I just want to see how you arrange the piano duet. I have never seen such a formation."

Closer to home, Li An no longer paid attention to the people behind him.

He stood up and announced first, "We don't want the second and third movements. We only keep the first movement."

The children were surprised, why?But because there were other teachers behind them, the children did not dare to say anything for a while.

Seeing that the children were hesitant to speak, Li An said, "It's okay. If you have any ideas, feel free to say them."

With Lingjian, Liu Fengrui was the first to hold back: "Teacher, the second movement is so beautiful."

Liu Fengrui's words were immediately recognized by Marco, and Xiao Ma nodded vigorously.

"Okay." Li An asked again, "Who else is there?"

Xiaobei hesitated for a moment and raised his hand.

Li An: "Xiao Bei said."

"Teacher, I like the third movement." Xiaobei said and put down his hand.

Li An: "You tell me about the car."

Xiaoche: "I like them all."

Li Ang: "Ji Yang."

Ji Yang: "The second movement."

Ang Lee: "Wang Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu: “Teacher, I also think it’s better to only leave the first movement.”

Ouch?

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he immediately became the focus of the audience.

Li An didn't expect it either, "Tell me about it."

Facing everyone's attention, Wang Xiaohu was not as proud as before, but a little nervous. He did have the same idea as the teacher, but he didn't know what to say specifically.

"It's okay, just say it boldly." Li An encouraged.

After a moment, Wang Xiaohu sorted out his words, stood up and said seriously: "Teacher, I feel that the second movement is chaotic. There are several places where I can't hear clearly. The third movement is also the same. It seems that someone has not kept up with the rhythm."

Lin Pengfei's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that this tiger boy is good now and can put the issue to the point.

Li An hummed: "So?"

Wang Xiaohu: "So I think time is limited, so I should focus on rehearsing the first part."

Wang Xiaohu said what Ang Lee wanted to say, and it is true. After the seven people are completed in one go, you will recognize the reality clearly.

The second and third movements cannot be arranged at all before tomorrow afternoon. If you want to take care of both, none of the last movements can be arranged well.

Ang Lee was never stingy when it came time to praise. "That's right," he motioned for Wang Xiaohu to sit down, and then looked around, "Wang Xiaohu is right, we are too late."

"Students who like the second and third movements, don't worry. We will slowly polish this piece later. The task this time is to record it. Do you understand?"

Speaking of recording, several children came to their senses and their first priority was recording.

In unison: "Understood!"

Ang Lee: "Okay, get the pen."

With a snap, a pen appeared in each child's hand.

This scene made Lin Pengfei and others envious. When could their students be so nimble?

"All the voices, now look at the second and third bars. Are they the same two bars?"

Children: "Yes!"

"Except for Che Lin, everyone else marked the second section as strong and the third section as weak. Here we need to make a comparison of the strength before and after, and show horizontal changes in levels."

"It weakens directly, not fades out. Do you hear me clearly?"

Children: "Understood."

"Che Lin, you start the crescendo from the last half-beat of the first measure until the end of the second measure, and then start the diminution from the third measure."

Che Lin: "Yes."

Ang Lee: "Come on, let's try the beginning again based on this feeling. Remember, the music works of the Baroque period generally maintain a steady speed."

"This time I will give you a beat, and each of you will try to establish this speed in your mind based on this beat."

As he spoke, Ang Lee suddenly discovered a serious question. He was the conductor and played time for everyone, so who would play the second part?

Turning around, he saw Brother Da Fei looking at him lovingly.

this. ok.

"Applause goes to Teacher Lin."

"Wow—"
