Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 667 366 Journey Notes 52: Topic Character!Absolute authenticity of sound

12:20, restaurant.

"real or fake?"

"It's true, Teacher Sun said it."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, the children in Piano Classroom No. [-] looked at each other in shock.

"It's too scary." Liu Fengrui couldn't help but glance in the direction where Tang Xiaoxing was sitting.

The children have no idea what the Central School of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music is, but there are only two piano students recruited in the world, and one of them is Tang Xiaoxing, who gets along with everyone day and night. This...
During this time, everyone knew that Tang Xiaoxing was powerful, but who knew that Tang Xiaoxing was so powerful.

"Teacher Sun also said that this school's piano major only recruits a maximum of four people each year," Wang Xiaohu said, stopping. "It's just very difficult to get into, and the requirements are very high. Um, what did Teacher Sun say?"

Senior Sister Ji Yang: "The entrance threshold is high."

"Yes, yes," Wang Xiaohu took it and continued, "The admission threshold is very high. If a student does not meet the admission requirements, the school will leave the place empty. That's probably what it means."

"So strict," Xiaobei looked at Ji Yang, "Sister, are you a performer after graduating from this school?"

"Probably," Ji Yang didn't know whether this school would issue a performer diploma after graduation, but based on Tang Xiaoxing's current performance ability, he would probably become a performer no matter where he went to school.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. We only have one hour for lunch today."

The children speeded up one after another. Ji Yang said and took one last look at the car. The car remained silent during everyone's conversation. She was wondering if the car was feeling a little uncomfortable. After all, when everyone talked about related topics, the main character was the one they talked about. car.

Next door to the next table.

"Absolute pitch?" Liu Duyi didn't know what it was, "What is it?"

Fu Yu explained: "A natural ability to listen to music. When you hear the pitch on the piano, you can immediately tell what it is."

Meng Yanxi: "I'll go, then you won't be invincible just by practicing ear training."

Everyone: "."

Liu Duyi: "Ayu, are you saying that Che Lin in your group has absolute pitch?"

Fu Yu nodded, and then recounted what happened in the piano room just now.

Liu Duyi frowned, this had exceeded his imagination: "She can tell it no matter how she plays? Can she also play bass and high notes?"

Fu Yu would have found it difficult to accept it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but he was right next to Che Lin just now.

Che Lin's back was to the piano. When Teacher Wu played a note on the piano, Che Lin would play one note. When she played a set of intervals, Che Lin would play two notes. When she played a triad, Che Lin would play three notes.

"Strong!" Liu Duyi had nothing to say.

Zhou Fanfu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "I heard from Marco that Che Lin had a second chord in the hearing test that day without writing the nature, and directly wrote four notes. Those four notes were the second chord played by Teacher Song."

When Zhou Fanfu mentioned this, everyone immediately remembered that after the listening test on the day of the icebreaker game, a teacher said that the four groups should have received full marks.

Meng Yanxi: "That's really awesome, but I think Tang Xiaoxing is even more awesome."

When Tang Xiaoxing was mentioned, a group of boys suddenly became more interested. Liu Duyi asked: "What happened to her?"

Meng Yanxi smiled proudly: "Do you know the Central School of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music?"
-
Just like that, in less than a meal, the two little girls became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Some people think Che Lin is more powerful, while others think Tang Xiaoxing is more powerful.

Of course, more people still think Tang Xiaoxing is more powerful.

Not to mention the Central School where she was admitted as the only second person in the world, let’s talk about the listening test that day. Tang Xiaoxing was ranked No. 1 and Che Lin was ranked No. 2.

Children are children, and on issues like this, their judgment is based on the outcome.

And they also heard Tang Xiaoxing's performance at the opening ceremony. The gavotte was so moving.

They have all heard Che Lin play the piano.

"Speechless." Miao Hengrui shrugged, thinking that a bunch of brats don't know much.

Glasses signaled everyone to be quiet: "Brother Rui has something to say."

Miao Hengrui asked a question: "Have you ever heard Che Lin play the piano?"

When everyone thought about the concerts in the past few days, it seemed that they had never heard it before.

Miao Hengrui: "That's fine."

Having been admitted to the affiliated high school, Miao Hengrui has seen and heard of many peers who want to go abroad. He really doesn't think those people who want to go abroad are so powerful. Moreover, at this stage, what is required to go abroad is not just professionalism, but also family strength. .

He personally experienced that a classmate who planned to take the entrance examination for the high school attached to the school failed, and his family directly spent money to get him to Italy, which is also a high school attached to a world-famous school.

He admitted that Tang Xiaoxing played well, but the music was not that difficult.

"Have you ever heard Che Lin play the piano?" Glasses asked.

Miao Hengrui shook his head: "Isn't there Che Lin tonight?"

Miao Hengrui felt that Che Lin was very capable from the first time he met her, and the listening test confirmed his feeling.

He could write the four constituent notes of a diminished second chord, but he couldn't write a diminished second chord. This only made him feel that Che Lin was a little different, although he couldn't tell the specific difference.

So you have to at least listen to Che Lin play it, and it's not too late to lick Tang Xiaoxing again.

"Eat, eat." Miao Hengrui put a meatball into his mouth and popped it in one bite.

The balls are almost the same and bursting with the same amount of pulp.

The same dishes are served, the children talk about children's topics, and the teachers talk about teachers' topics.

At the teacher’s dinner table, Arthur Dume greatly appreciated the piano duel sequence between Ang Lee and Boss X, especially Ang Lee’s transposition variations.

After hearing this, old Charlie regretfully expressed that he had missed a wonderful scene.

Just coming out of Boss X's mouth, Li An always felt that something was wrong.

If only he could understand German.

The next few leading teachers talked about the performance of each group of children in the second round of classes. Li An had no intention of targeting Wang Han. He knew that Fan Yilin's situation was not caused by Wang Han, so he took this case and shared it with the teachers.

Even old Charlie became curious when he heard that there was such a child.

Wang Han explained to everyone that the child was already like this when his parents brought him here.

"He had taken a trumpet club class at school for one semester before. Before the class, the teacher gave them a music theory lesson, including basic staff notation, and taught them how to sing and recognize it. He would find it fun. , and he sang in reverse with others. There were many children in the class at that time, and the teacher’s sense of responsibility was also a bit lacking. He didn’t give him any special corrections. As a result, after one semester, he developed the habit. I have been helping him change it. Now he can’t play the piano. The problem is that when you sing, you get a wrong string of notes from time to time.”

Although this is a small probability event, everyone still sighed after hearing this.

If the teacher at that time could have paid a little attention to the child's abnormality, the situation today would not have been caused.

Isn't it harmful to have such a teacher teach in a school?

"I'm causing trouble for you." Wang Han said to Li An.

Li An waved his hand: "The kid is actually pretty good. I think he has changed a lot. I just tried to let him sing with numbers instead of using roll call. Gradually he can sing correctly,"

When Wang Han heard this, he was a little inspired. He had used a similar method before, but the effect was not very good: "Thank you very much, Teacher Li. I will go down and think about it."

Li An: "You're welcome, you're welcome. The key is that you have been helping him change. He already has this awareness in his mind. I believe this child can definitely change."

The two of them were talking, and Boss

Following Ang Lee's words, Wu Zening also mentioned Xiao Che Lin's ears.

At this time, except for the four foreign professors, the rest of the teachers were at the listening test site that day and knew that Che Lin had very good ears.

However, it was just an answer sheet at that time, and it was not as realistic as Wu Zening’s vivid description.

"It was the first time I met this kind of child. In the end, I just played it casually. She seemed to have the pitch of the piano stored in her mind, just like the relationship between pinyin and Chinese characters. If I played you, she would immediately tell me what it was. Ni, I play hello, and then she can say nihao."

Martin: "Wow."

Huang Chuxian: "Have you given her any special training?"

Boss X translated Ang Lee’s words to Old Charlie and several foreign professors. Old Charlie frowned and immediately asked the same question as Huang Chuxian.

Facing all kinds of looks, Li An shook his head, "I just told her some theories about the importance of listening to learning music, and I never designed any special listening exercises for her."

In order to let everyone have a clearer and thorough understanding of the situation of the car, Li An gave a general introduction to the car from the beginning of learning piano with Tian Yu to the present. "Her previous teacher didn't train her specifically." Li An asked Xiaoche to confirm this.

"There are no relevant professionals in her family." Lao Che hummed to the moon, which meant that my heart was out of tune. Of course, it was possible that Che Lin's biological mother had the skills in this area, but Li An didn't ask.

Sun Liwen: "If you put it this way, then this child is born."

Boss X: “I think so too.”

Old Charlie and Arthur on the side communicated quietly, and Boss X also joined the discussion after hearing the words for a moment.

Li An didn't understand, but he wasn't in a hurry. He even put a meatball in his mouth while talking to Wu Zening.

If we only go by the universal definition of absolute pitch, at least one-third of the people at their table have some absolute pitch.

Referring to the theory of Japanese psychologist Kenichi Miyazaki, being able to hear any note on the piano with an accuracy of more than 70% without the prompt of a reference sound can be regarded as having absolute pitch.

Not to mention others, he can achieve it.

But this is more due to his accumulation day after day and year after year since childhood.

So there is another way of saying that absolute pitch has authenticity.

If classified according to authenticity, his current situation can only be regarded as an absolute sense of sound under disguise.

Xiaoche is not yet 13 years old, has no special training, and has no accumulation of music learning for more than ten years.

But the car can already clearly hear and distinguish 88 notes on the piano, as well as various combinations.

When he was as big as a car, well, what's the comparison?

So does the car really have absolute sound?

He was curious.

But it doesn’t matter if it is, yes it is, no it is no, the child is born with a pair of bright eyes, what do you say?
In fact, the so-called absolute pitch has been discussed for nearly a century, but until today, there is still no definite conclusion.

People who understand and people who don't understand have two views on it.

One is very fucked up.

One way is that it is just that.

There is no rule stating that a person with a truly absolute sense of pitch cannot achieve anything in music.

If this rule existed, there would be no such great musicians as Brahms and Stravinsky.

When people are attracted by a musician's music, will they immediately pay attention to whether he/she is a musician with an absolute sense of pitch?
What everyone focuses on is the music itself.

At this time, "Lee An, is it okay for a moment? Professor Charlie wants to see Che Lin again?"

Boss X translated for Li An, and old Charlie added a few more words.

Boss

Even Mr. Cha is willing to use the rest time after lunch, so there's nothing Li An can't do.

But, "You can also do it at other times." Li An meant not to delay the old man's rest, he is already 70 years old.

Boss X conveyed Ang Lee’s words to Old Charlie, who raised his arms and made a Hercules gesture.

Everyone laughed.

Boss

Li An put his hands together and bowed: "Thank you."
-
At this moment, Xiao Che was chewing spinach and thinking about the problem of not overly crescendoing the ascending scale.

Grandpa Charlie talked about this problem in the morning, and the teacher said that Grandpa Charlie was right, so she thought about this problem whenever she had time throughout the morning.

If we say that we should avoid subconscious crescendos during the upward process, we should also avoid weakening during the downward process.

She had to rethink the last descending progression of the C-sharp minor waltz and whether she had to pay attention to the volume issue.

"Linlin."

"Huh?" Xiao Che turned to look at Xiao Bei.

Xiaobei: "Why don't you speak?"

Xiaoche: "I'm listening."

Xiaobei thought Linlin was a little unhappy because everyone praised Tang Xiaoxing. Seeing the other person's expression, she knew she was overthinking it.

"Linlin, let's watch your performance tonight." Xiaobei looked forward to it.

Xiaoche smiled: "Yeah!"

Seeing this scene, Ji Yang was relieved. It seemed that she was overthinking.

"Linlin, do you still remember our agreement tonight?"

Of course Xiao Che remembered it, and then rubbed his little hands.

Ji Yang was amused by the car's movements: "We'll start after the concert ends when we get back."

Xiaobei: "Yeah!"

What's the situation?
The three little boys were confused.

"No, senior sister," Wang Xiaohu said a little anxiously, "What are you going to do?"

Ji Yang hummed: "I won't tell you!"

Liu Fengrui: "Ahem, senior sister, you can tell me secretly, but I will never tell Wang Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes, yes, senior sister, I swear he won't tell me."

Marco: "I swear too."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Xiaobei was going to die laughing, why would he swear for others?

Ji Yang looked at his two sisters and said, "Tell me if you want to tell them."

Wang Xiaohu, Marco, and Liu Fengrui all wailed pitifully in unison: "I want it."

Xiaobei: "Linlin, how about we tell them."

Xiao Che bared his teeth: "Senior sister said."

Ji Yang: "We're going to have hot pot in the room tonight!"

After a while, "Do you want to participate?"

The three of them shouted in unison again, "Yes!"

The hot pot is a self-heating hot pot from Xiaobei, with two barrels.

There are also snacks left by Xiaoche and Senior Sister Ji Yang. Since tomorrow is a game day and there are no classes, the three sisters are planning to have a little fun tonight.

Wang Xiaohu: “I bring my own tickets.”

Marco: "I also bring my own tickets."

Liu Fengrui: "Buy two and get one free?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Is this human language?"

Everyone: "Hahaha——"

The laughter attracted an uninvited guest, "What's so happy about you?"

When the man came, Xiao Ji was a little embarrassed. She hadn't filed a report yet.
