Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 680 379. Journey Note 65: Kleiber and his son before the concert

For teachers, taking children out to attend summer camp can also be considered a vacation.

However, giving students online classes during the ten-day holiday can be regarded as a balance between work and leisure, which everyone can understand as a teacher.

It's a bit too hard to just rush to have lunch and teach students.

While everyone was praising Li An, they didn’t know that Li An had no classes this afternoon in his original plan.

After the event, Boss

Seeing that the time for the first class had passed, Boss X sent a message to Li An, and then saw Li An hurriedly pushing open the glass door of the restaurant.

"Hello, Teacher Li!" "Hello, Teacher Li!" "Teacher Li!" "Teacher Li!"

As soon as Li An entered the door, the smell of rice that hit his face doubled his hunger. Just as the children were clearing away their plates after eating, he was greeted by greetings one after another, "Hello, hello, you're all done." ?"

Children: "Eat!"

After greeting the children cordially, Li An slowed down and asked, "How was the meal tonight? Is there anything delicious?"

Children have recommended:
"fried chicken!"

“The stir-fry is delicious!”

"Teacher Li, you must eat eight-treasure rice!"

Li An laughed: "Okay, okay, let me see what's left. See you at the concert hall later."

From far away, a table of teachers can feel the children's love for Li An. They can understand it, let alone the children. After this afternoon, they all like Li An even more.

Boss

Before Li An sat down, he turned to greet them from a distance, then picked up a full plate and raised it.

Okay, seeing that the children have left food for Li An, Boss X doesn’t need to bother the kitchen.

"Shall we pack up and leave too?"

"Walk."

"Walk."

Everyone at the teacher's table packed up their plates and left. After a while, only a few parents and teachers and students Li An, Wang Xiaohu and others were left in the restaurant.

"Teacher, please be patient." Seeing the teacher gobbling up the food, Wang Xiaohu felt as if his identities had been swapped. He found it very interesting for a moment, "No one is trying to rob you."

Li An responded lazily, swallowed the food in his mouth, and called, "Go get me a bottle of water."

Wang Xiaohu conjured a bottle of mineral water from behind like magic, and helped unscrew it and delivered it to Li An.

Li An smiled, took a strong sip, and then took a long breath, "Comfortable——"

Wang Xiaohu was happy: "Hey."

"How's it going?" Li An put down the water bottle, picked up the banana on the dinner plate and started picking it up, "Have you enjoyed yourself today?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded, then shook his head, smiled and said in a serious tone for a moment, "I still want to try it again if I have a chance, but the rhythm is wrong in a few places."

Li An gave half of the peeled banana to Wang Xiaohu.

"Thank you, teacher." Wang Xiaohu was not polite at all, he took it and put it in his mouth.

"Have you secretly practiced command movements at home?" Li An asked.

Wang Xiaohu nodded with a bulging mouth.

When Ang Lee watched Wang Xiaohu's conductor today, he felt like he had done his homework, "Are you following the video?"

Wang Xiaohu swallowed it in one gulp and said, "Yeah."

An expectant look appeared on his face again, "Teacher, guess which conductor's movements I am imitating?"

Ang Lee: "You're asking me now. I know a lot about conductors, but if you want me to judge who you are imitating through your movements, then I can't tell you."

Wang Xiaohu said coquettishly, "Teacher, just take a guess."

"Then you have to stay within my limits," Li An stood up and put away the plates, "talking as we walked."

"The foreigner has passed away." Wang Xiaohu stood up and followed quickly.

"I just thought it was nonsense." Ang Lee criticized unceremoniously.

Wang Xiaohu thought about it, the range was really too big, "I'll give you another hint, his father is also a conductor."

It turns out that Wang Xiaohu imitated Little Kleiber.

As the most famous father and son in the conducting world, Carlos Kleiber (son) and Erich Kleiber (father) were both great figures who once dominated the classical music world.

Especially his son, every work under the command of little Kleiber can exude extraordinary appeal. Coupled with his unique command language, he can be called a stunning genius among classical music conductors.

The little thing is quite tasteful. Ang Lee personally admires Little Kleiber's conducting style. Thinking about Wang Xiaohu's every move on the stage in the afternoon, let alone, there is really a little bit of Kleiber's flavor.

After looking at Wang Xiaohu, he deliberately joked: "Are you sure you are imitating him?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Who?!"

Ang Lee: "Little Kleiber."

When he heard that the teacher guessed correctly, Wang Xiaohu suddenly felt a little unhappy. If the teacher guessed wrong, it would be fine with him. But if the teacher guessed correctly and still asked this question, then he felt that he was not imitating well!
He immediately fell silent.

[Wang Xiaohu’s teacher-student index dropped to 97]

"Ouch, ouch," Li An was so happy when he saw this, and looked at his face, "Why can't you make a joke?"

Wang Xiaohu continued to remain silent, but his mental activity had turned into a combination of anger and happiness. Angry because the teacher deliberately bullied people, and happy because the teacher took back his previous question in disguise.

But he hasn't heard the affirmation he wants yet!

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I think you imitated it quite well. The eyes and body are a bit like Little Kleiber." Ang Lee expressed his true thoughts.

[Wang Xiaohu's teacher-student index has risen to 99]

"Really?!" Wang Xiaohu couldn't hold it in anymore, but when he turned around, he saw that the teacher was smiling, "Oh, teacher, are you serious? Stop teasing me."

"I'm not kidding you," Ang Lee said while laughing, "Even if you are the reincarnation of Little Clay, you can't help but make me laugh."

"." Wang Xiaohu no longer knew whether the teacher was real or fake, and walked forward on his own.

A moment later came, "Teacher, I am serious."

Hearing the child's heavy tone, Li An quickly put away his smile and hurried to follow. He really didn't mean to tease Wang Xiaohu, but Wang Xiaohu's expression was too interesting.

Putting his arm on Wang Xiaohu's shoulder, "Okay, listen to me, I really think you conduct well. It's not just me. Many teachers said this afternoon that you conduct well. Otherwise, why would I have asked you if you were secretly doing it?" Practiced down there.”

Wang Xiaohu couldn't feel any unhappy emotions when he felt the arm on his shoulder just now. When he heard the teacher's words later, he felt much better.

"Teacher, I don't know if what I'm doing is right."

"Tell me and listen."

"I just watched the video and played along with the conductor and the music. I have practiced this way many times."

"You imitated the songs he played."

"Completely there is the Symphony of Destiny, the Blue Danube, the Bat Overture."

"Complete? From beginning to end."

"sharp."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head: "But I don't know what that music is."

Ang Lee: "But you can feel the music."

Wang Xiaohu: "Well, sometimes I can feel the music flowing out of my fingertips. At that time, I didn't feel that I was imitating Little Grandpa Kleiber's movements."

moment.

"Xiaohu, do you know that Old Kleiber was initially opposed to Little Kleiber's learning of command?"

"do not know."

“At that time, little Kleiber was very passionate about conducting, but old Kleiber expressed the hope that his son would stay away from music, so old Kleiber said to little Kleiber that one Kleiber is enough for the conductor. "Another moment.

"Teacher, I understand."

"Tell me."

"I will no longer imitate little Grandpa Kleiber's commanding movements."

"That's right, it's enough to have one Wang Xiaohu as the commander."

Wang Xiaohu was startled, and immediately stopped and raised his head. His voice was trembling even more than his eyes, and he raised his voice quickly in disbelief, "Teacher, do you agree with me to learn conducting?!"

Li Bian smiled and said, "I have never objected to you learning to conduct. What I have always emphasized is to wait until you are more fully prepared. Maybe I am a little conservative."

When Wang Xiaohu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, his pupils shrank violently, and he grabbed the arm in front of him excitedly, "Teacher! Teacher, do you mean that I can learn to conduct now!?"

The tranquility of the manor path was suddenly broken, and all the children on the way to the church couldn't help but stop and look this way.

If it were normal times, Wang Xiaohu's yelling would definitely attract Li An's frown, but at this moment, Li An didn't have any reproachful look, but nodded firmly.

"The plan may become a bit fast, but you can officially learn command."

A wave of dizziness hit him, and Wang Xiaohu felt that happiness came too suddenly. He hugged the tall figure in front of him and said, "Thank you, teacher!"

As he expected, if he could only get support from one person when it came to learning command, he hoped that this person would be none other than his teacher.

At this moment, he felt like his dream had come true.

Although the teacher mentioned to him once before leaving for Yanjing that he could learn conducting after he mastered the piano and related knowledge, he did not know when he could master the piano and related knowledge.

So even though he believed in the teacher's words, it was still a long way off for him as to when he could really learn to conduct.

But now he has it clear in his mind.

"Thank you, teacher." He was so happy.

Li An caressed the little head in his arms, laughing to himself that the little boy's moods, which alternated between high and low, really fit the characteristics of some music.

It's really possible that Wang Xiaohu will become a conductor in the future.

From a distance, Li An saw Ji Yang and three people walking from the direction of the hotel. The car sandwiched between them had already changed into formal dresses.

"Oh, you're not crying, are you?"

"No."

Wang Xiaohu just wanted to be held by the teacher for a while longer.

"Xiao Bei Che Lin and the others are coming."

The next second, Wang Xiaohu jumped out of Li An's arms.

"Teacher, what did you just do?" Ji Yang and the others could clearly see that the teacher was holding Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu rushed to answer: "A secret between boys."

Xiaobei asked suspiciously: "Between boys?"

Then he looked at Li An, his expression was too serious, "Teacher, are you considered a boy?"

Ang Lee: "."

Ji Yang laughed, "Of course the teacher is a boy!"

"Ah?" Xiaobei was confused and turned to look at the car again, "Linlin, is the teacher a boy?"

Xiao Che showed a thoughtful expression and tilted his head, "The teacher should be a big boy, and Wang Xiaohu is a little boy."

Little boy. Little boy. Boy. Wang Xiaohu's words echoed in his mind, and he was about to refute when he turned around and found that the teacher was already walking towards the church door.

then.

"If you don't hurry up, the concert will start."

The four of them rushed to follow after hearing this.

"Teacher, you can come to our little party tonight."

"I'm not going. I have to help you clean up after eating."

"teacher!"

In the second row of the auditorium of the church, Marco and Liu Fengrui, who had been waiting for a long time, finally heard the familiar laughter and hurriedly waved towards the door.

As a result, the little fat boy Ma Hao ran over, panting but excitedly shouting, "Here I come, captain!"

Liu Fengrui was embarrassed, that's not what he meant.

At this moment, five teachers and students from Li An also came to the second row.

Li Ancheng saw this scene and knew what was going on. He put his hand on Ma Hao's shoulder and said, "You are not allowed to leave once you are here. You can stay here to watch tonight."

Ma Hao danced happily when he heard this, and immediately forgot all Huang Ma's instructions.

Fortunately, Li An had already signaled to Huang Chuxian from a distance.

He could see that Ma Hao really wanted to play with Liu Fengrui, so he could stay together.

By the way, "Ma Hao, how old were you when you first played Chopin etudes?"

"Eight years old."

All the children in piano classroom No. [-] fell silent upon hearing this.

Li An greeted: "Don't be stunned. Sit down. Hey, Ma Hao, how long can you practice piano in a day?"

Speaking of this issue, the little fat man couldn't help but complain, "At least five hours."

Li An: "It's so awesome that I can sit down and sit down."

Wang Xiaohu sat down and asked Liu Fengrui in a low voice, "How did you get him here?"

Liu Fengrui felt aggrieved and replied in a lower voice: "I didn't, he came here by himself."

Li An: "What are you two muttering about?"

The two said in unison: "No, no."

Ma Hao: "Teacher Li, can I sit next to brother Liu Fengrui? I promise not to affect him."

Li Anle: "No, go quickly and influence him."

The children laughed, Xiaobei said: "Teacher, I want to sit next to you, okay? You didn't sit with us for the past two days."

"Come on, Xiaobei, sit on my left," Li An said, turning his head, "Che Lin, you are a performer today, so don't sit here. Go to the waiting area to find Tang Xiaoxing, and you can sit and listen together."

"Okay, teacher." Xiao Che stood up with her skirt up, and everyone cheered, "Come on Linlin, come on Car God, come on!"

Full of encouragement from his friends, the car quickly arrived at the waiting area. Tang Xiaoxing was sitting alone. When he saw Che Lin approaching, he smiled and waved, and the car quickened its pace.

The two little girls seemed to be whispering as soon as they sat together, their heads getting closer and closer.

For tonight, the two of them were full of expectations for each other.

Although on the repertoire, one was going to play Chopin’s Third Sonata, and the other was just going to play a waltz piece that was less than 4 minutes long.

Perhaps for some people, Chopin's Third Sonata is a bit out of the ordinary compared to Chopin's other works.

This is true.

However, it should be noted that Chopin’s Third Sonata is part of the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition.
-
Ten minutes later, a burst of warm applause broke out in the church.

Professor Martin, as the opening performer on tonight’s concert repertoire, is about to perform Chopin’s Fourth Ballade.

Children may not know it, but teachers know that Xiao Xusi is an epic piano solo work.

F minor, op.52.
