Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 575 274. In the real master-disciple duel, who gave up?

Obviously everyone played so well this time, but it was because of one of my own mistakes that the recording was interrupted again.

The moment Marco made a mistake, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"It's okay," everyone comforted Marco.

"I also made several mistakes." Wang Xiaohu said first.

"Me too." Xiaobei followed.

Liu Fengrui: "We can record it many times in one hour."

Che Lin, who was sitting next to Marco, also comforted her, "Marco, you can play well. We'll do it again."

Facing the tolerance of his friends, Marco's face burned, and he secretly vowed to practice this part by heart after returning home today.

"Okay Marco, look up," Ang Lee said.

Ma Ke raised his head, his small face was full of shame, "Teacher."

Li An smiled: "Do you know your importance?"

Ma Ke nodded vigorously, "Teacher, I understand."

Then Li An changed the subject, "Everyone come here with the scores."

Everyone returned to the recording studio and sat in a circle. The old man brought drinks for the children and joked, "All performers take a break first."

"Thank you, Teacher Bian." The children took it and laughed.

Closer to home, after passing the second time, Ang Lee was confident that the children could complete the direct recording.

"Have you noticed it? You still have to listen to each other."

The children nodded. Indeed, they found that they dared to play boldly only when they heard the most familiar parts.

Then playing like this will make the overall music return to what they are familiar with.

"We will continue for a while, and everyone will let go and play the next time. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Li An glanced at the time: "Now rest for 5 minutes, those who drink water drink water, and those who go to the toilet go to the toilet."

He also wanted to take a little rest.
-
smoking room.

Li An took the cigarette from Lao Bian and took one puff into his lungs, feeling relaxed and comfortable all over.

Lao Bian: "You kids are really good."

Li An smiled: "Thank you for your praise, brother Bian, who wants to use this venue later?"

Lao Bian: "A Russian tenor is here to be a partner. Lao Maozi just got off the plane at noon and has to attend the opening ceremony. Otherwise, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Otherwise, I will find a way to squeeze time for you in the next two days, or wait for the event. Finish?"

Li An: "Thank you, brother Bian. That's not what I meant, just asking."

The children couldn't stand any more trouble, so it was time for him to find time to prepare for monthly exams and music festivals.

After finishing his cigarette and returning to the backstage, Ang Lee heard the sound of a piano coming from the stage.

He asked the children to rest, but the children used the rest time to form a group and practice.

From the background, it sounds pretty good.

"Li An." Chen Xuan's voice came from behind, and he turned around, "Huh? I thought you were in the frontcourt."

"Where have you been?" Chen Xuan just went to the bathroom. When she came back, she didn't find Li An, and no one answered her phone calls. "Where's your cell phone?"

Li An: "I just went inside with Lao Bian to smoke a cigarette. What's wrong?"

The two came to a corner while talking.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Chen Xuan was in a bad state, he asked again.

Chen Xuan didn't want to dampen Ang Lee's enthusiasm, but there were some things she had to say now, "Just record it separately."

Li An was stunned for a moment, then hummed, "Do you think you can't record it directly?"

Chen Xuan made it clear, "130 measures, how many times do you think you can record it properly? There is less than an hour left."

Then, "Just now, even if there was no problem with Ma Ke, he would not be able to go back a few steps. Ji Yang and the car are already a bit out of sync."

Li An frowned. He heard it, but it wasn't that serious. "Is it obvious?"

Chen Xuan: "Didn't you come down and listen to it a second time?"

The two quickly returned to the recording studio.

"Brother Bian, let me listen to the ending directly."

Just now, Ang Lee was just trying to comfort Marco, and he really didn't listen carefully to the back part. The key is that as a performer on stage, he didn't feel that there was such a big problem behind it.

After listening carefully, he sighed in his heart, it was true.

It's one feeling to sit on the stage and listen to it by yourself, but it's another feeling to calm down and listen to it through headphones.

Ji Yang's voice does have a bit of a mechanical feel, and he probably can't find the overall sound balance.

After listening to it, Ang Lee was silent for a moment, "Record it directly and record it again. If it doesn't work, just split it into tracks."

Lao Bian pushed up his glasses, and he suggested Ang Lee choose a simple way from the beginning: "Listen to you."

Listen to people's advice to eat a full meal.

Li An's mind was still a little unclear until now. His confidence was at the peak of his powers, his confidence fell to the bottom, and his hope was rekindled. It was like he was on a roller coaster.

It is obvious to all observers that he also believes in Chen Xuan's professionalism. Since Chen Xuan gives you serious advice, then he will listen to Chen Xuan.

Moreover, he also realized his lack of knowledge on the recording of piano ensembles.

Coming out of the recording studio, Li An sighed, and probably came here.

Chen Xuan paused: "Actually, I wanted to suggest that you record in separate tracks from the beginning. Some professional orchestras will also choose to record in separate parts in some cases. You are already very good at taking a few children to this point. "

Li An: "Even so, if I can do my homework in advance, forget it, let's not talk about it. I will study it carefully when I come back and try not to have these problems next time."

Seeing Li An say this, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "You won't blame me, right?"

Li An smiled and put his hand on Chen Xuan's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the backstage entrance: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Chen Xuan thought for a while: "You make noodles in clear soup."

As they said this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their memories instantly returned to last summer.

One night, Ang Lee invited Chen Xuan to 2501 for the first time.

He gave advice to Chen Xuan's flute octet and made him a bowl of clear soup noodles before going to bed.

"I remember you saying it wasn't very delicious."

"It wasn't tasty."

"Then you still want to eat."

"correct."
-
The children were still trying to find problems, but Li An felt at ease.

"Okay, get ready."

Returning to the stage, Ang Lee announced the start of the third recording session.

During the short period of time when Li An was smoking and chatting, every child was desperately trying to find ways to improve themselves.

Ji Yang understands the core responsibility of the first part. As an engine, she must move forward with music firmly at all times without any hesitation.

Xiaoche fully understood why the teacher said that her voice was the fuel for the engine. She found the answer in the first recording and confirmed the answer in the second recording.

During the two recordings, Liu Fengrui realized that the timbre of the middle voice should be controlled with the fingertips. The feeling was warm and moist.

Xiaobei finally found a way to play boldly in the second recording. After listening to Senior Sister Ji Yang, she felt that she could play better the third time.

Marco has adjusted his nerves to the most sensitive state, and he vowed that there will never be a situation where 1, 2, 3, etc. are not free today.

Wang Xiaohu believes that listening to it as a whole, their music has a sense of integration. He feels this way. He is ready to fight to the end. He firmly believes that today he will be able to perfectly record the first song of their No. [-] Piano Classroom. An ensemble piece.

The kids worked really hard.

But in many cases, one thing can be done well without hard work, and it is still such a thing that requires coordination and cooperation.

Even if each of them has firm beliefs, one sneeze can destroy all their efforts.No one sneezed, and no one even made a mistake the third time.

Finally at section 113, Ang Lee slowly put away his hands.

Li An's movements made Xiao Bei beside him stop involuntarily.

Xiaobei didn't know why the teacher stopped.

The absence of two parts immediately broke the barely maintained musical balance.

Then Ji Yang stopped.

Marco stopped.

Liu Fengrui stopped.

Che Lin stopped.

Wang Xiaohu was the last one to stop. He didn't know what was happening. This recording was so good, and it was about to be finished.

who is it?

At this moment, Ang Lee stood up, looked around with a little regret and smiled, "Hey, let's record in separate tracks?"

Separate tracks?
The children were even more confused.

Li An stood up and explained: "Separate recording means recording by one person. For example, Senior Sister Ji Yang recorded first. After she finished recording, there was a recording of one part."

"Then Che Lin recorded the second one. Che Lin was wearing headphones when recording. In the headphones was the one part that Senior Sister Ji Yang had just recorded. She listened to Senior Sister Ji Yang's playing and recorded seven parts."

"Marco, you record with headphones on. When you record, there will be sounds of Part One and Part Seven in the headphones."

“That way you can each hear exactly what you’re playing, and it won’t be affected by the venue.”

"do you understand?"

The place fell into silence.

Li An raised his voice and hummed, frowning slightly, "Is it difficult to understand?"

Ji Yang: "Teacher, I understand what it means. One part is recorded one part after another, and finally synthesized."

Li An: "Look, it must be your senior sister."

Normally, the atmosphere would have been lively at this moment.

But as his words fell, the scene became quiet again.

"You?" Li An was puzzled.

moment.

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, can't we play together?"

Ang Lee: "Yes, record them one by one, no need to play them together."

No need to play together?
Wang Xiaohu suddenly felt uncomfortable again. If we don't play together, is it still an ensemble?
"Teacher, why can't we play together?"

Wang Xiaohu asked each child what they were thinking. They felt strange about the sudden split-track recording. Didn't everyone record well this time?

Li An didn't have time to explain it in detail to his children, "I'll let you know after recording, okay."

"No," although Wang Xiaohu tried his best to restrain himself, he was really unwilling to give in. Everyone was working so hard.

Li An was stunned for a moment, wondering what the hell this bastard was doing.

But Wang Xiaohu faced Ang Lee's scrutinizing gaze without any fear. He had to know why. In addition to rehearsing every day for the past three days, they practiced piano. The rest of the time, they also spent the rest of the time discussing ensemble issues in the group.

They worked so hard, but in the end they couldn't record together!

In Wang Xiaohu's heart, this recording with the meaning of a ten-year agreement is particularly precious. He feels that even if the recording is not good by the seven of them, it was recorded by the seven of them together.

But now the teacher asked his family to record separately. Is it still their ensemble?
Li An didn't want to waste everyone's time, "Are you done?"

Seeing that the teacher's face had turned cold, Ji Yang quickly stood up and said, "Wang Xiaohu, what are you doing? Sit down."

Wang Xiaohu refused to sit down and felt aggrieved, "Sister, we obviously recorded well together, why can't we record together."

"The sound is too loud and confusing this time, can't you hear it?" Ji Yang raised his voice and shouted, "I told you to sit down!"

The scene was silent, and everyone looked at Senior Sister Ji Yang. No one had seen Senior Sister Ji Yang losing her temper.

Ji Yang couldn't help it. It was better for her to get angry than for the teacher to get angry.

She understood Wang Xiaohu, and she actually wanted the seven of them to take the exam together. But what she couldn't understand was the teacher.

In her eyes, the teacher would never really be harsh on them, even if the sound was too loud this time and the recording effect was not good, why couldn’t the teacher let everyone finish the recording even if no one made mistakes? This time, can’t we record it in separate tracks later?

But no matter what, Wang Xiaohu shouldn't play tricks with the teacher, this is their teacher!
Everyone's eyes returned to Wang Xiaohu.

For a moment, Wang Xiaohu lowered his head.

After a while, he bowed his head and sat down.

"Okay," Ji Yang's voice became gentle again, "Let's go get ready."

The children all started to move, and Liu Fengrui quickly got up and pulled Wang Xiaohu away.

Xiaobei and Che Lin didn't stay too long, and quickly followed, with Marco at the rear, and the five children were quickly displayed on the video screen.

Lao Bian looked at the time and thought that the ensemble couldn't be recorded today.

It doesn’t matter, the album can be released at any time, and it’s the same as recording after finishing the music festival.
-
On the stage, Ji Yang saw his younger brothers and sisters going to the west and hurriedly comforted the teacher, "Teacher, don't be angry, he is just like that. I will talk to him well when he comes back."

"Ji Yang, do you also want everyone to record together?" Li An was not angry.

Ji Yang was startled, then nodded after a moment, and then said, "Teacher, actually everyone attaches great importance to this ensemble."

Ang Lee: "I know."

Xiao Ji pursed his lips: "In addition to rehearsing in the past few days, they have been discussing in the group how to practice and how to combine. They also posted their own practice videos to the group. Wang Xiaohu was still posting in the group at 12 o'clock the night before yesterday. I made a video of the saxophone version, saying it is also a duet of seven people, I suggest you give it a listen.”

Li An raised his left eyebrow when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the entrance to the backstage, where Chen Xuan was holding Wang Xiaohu and didn't know what to say.

This kid, hey.

Li An didn't know what to say. Seeing time passing by and the atmosphere at the moment, he felt that this was the end of the day. "Forget it, I won't record it."

Ji Yang: "Teacher."

Ang Lee: "Huh?"

Ji Yang: "You seem to be a bit harsh on this ensemble. I don't mean that you are wrong, but I think, how to put it, I am older than them and have more experience than them, but I personally feel that this ensemble It’s so difficult.”

Li Ang: "I understand what you mean, the topic is beyond the outline, and everyone has tried their best."

After a pause, Li An decided to tell Ji Yang the whole story.

"Ji Yang, do you know where I got this score?"

Xiao Ji: "Did you buy it?"

Li An shook his head: "This score was obtained for us from abroad by your teacher Lin Youyou, who spent a lot of effort."

Xiao Ji understood: "That's it."

Ang Lee: "Listen to me, it's not as simple as you think. This score was written specifically for us by a composer named Artillery on the eve of their exams, according to our staffing."

"Oh my god." Xiao Ji's eyes widened. At this moment, she realized why the teacher had repeatedly stressed to him that he could not send this score to others, and realized how important this ensemble recording was.

Suddenly, she thought of a problem that made her even more serious.

"Teacher, that means we are the first to perform this piece?"

Li An: "Hey, otherwise."

As soon as the words changed, his voice became much more relaxed, "You said they were discussing this song in the group. What were they discussing? Why did Wang Xiaohu stay up so late at night? What video did you send to me? I will listen to it and learn from it. "

Ji Yang snickered in his heart, the teacher really cared more about everyone, "Go and ask him for it yourself."

Li An laughed: "You girl."

Ji Yang gritted his teeth: "Teacher, I remember you told me that the premiere needs to be performed in a public place with an audience to count as the premiere, and our recording is not counted as the premiere."

Ang Lee: "Well, strictly speaking, the recording cannot be regarded as the premiere."
