Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 682 381. Journey Notes 67: Dancers under the tree, silent innocence [Part [-]]

What a lovely answer.

If it weren't for Che Lin's serious expression when answering the question, she would have regarded the answer as a little joke.

Tang Xiaoxing has never worried about such a problem, and she has not even considered whether the dress will become wrinkled due to carelessness in wearing it.

In her subconscious mind, the dress was just a stage prop.

If it gets wrinkled, can't you just wear another one?

"How many dresses did you bring?" Tang Xiaoxing asked curiously.

Che Lin: "Only this one."

Tang Xiaoxing: "Oh."

It turned out to be the case.

"Wow————"

As applause rang out again, the two little girls paused their conversation and followed Liu Duyi, who stood up on stage, to the piano.

The second performer in the first half of the concert was Liu Duyi from the group.

On the repertoire list, the piece Liu Duyi is about to perform is Chopin's Etude in F minor, op.25, no.2.

When the applause fell, Liu Duyi bowed and took his seat.

After adjusting the height of the piano bench, Liu Duyi raised his hands and started playing with a sigh.

A brisk and gorgeous melody rose from in front of the piano, and immediately there were expressions of envy in the audience.

Chopin's etudes are famously beautiful, and everyone doesn't like to play beautiful music, especially when this piece is included in the exam tutorial.

It's just that most children fail to reach the level of playing this piece and can only watch the score and sigh.

Liu Duyi completed this piece quite well. He ran according to the rules and the speed was acceptable. He only missed a few notes in the middle and there were no major problems with the rhythm. In the eyes of many teachers, he basically reached level 7 of hesitation and level 8 of undecided. full level.

It's already very good. Xu Si, who took over from Professor Martin, was able to finish the song so steadily. His mentality is also worthy of recognition.

At the end of the performance, Liu Duyi stood up and bowed gracefully, winning warm applause from the audience.

Taking advantage of the applause, Tang Xiaoxing couldn't help but move closer again: "Che Lin, which Xiao Lian song do you like best?"

Xiaoche thought about it for a moment. She liked all Chopin's etudes. If she liked it the most, it should be the torrent etude played by the teacher.

"Riptide, you?"

Tang Xiaoxing liked the Psalm Escape the most, and sighed, "It's just that I've never been able to play it well."

Xiaoche was helpless about this. She had never practiced a song, but Tang Xiaoxing's words made her remember the escape song.

From Xiaoche's point of view, Tang Xiaoxing has always been unable to play the music well, so it must be very, very difficult to play.

Here, Tang Xiaoxing's attention has all turned to Che Lin. When she learned that Che Lin had not played Chopin etudes yet, Tang Xiaoxing didn't know what to say. She always thought that Che Lin should have practiced all Chopin exercises. song.

Seeing Tang Xiaoxing open her mouth in surprise, Xiaoche felt that the other party might have some misunderstandings about her. She didn't want Tang Xiaoxing to think that she had practiced many pieces, so she explained in a low voice: "I am currently practicing Bugmüller's 25 etudes, and I have practiced half of them." Well, I just finished playing the first movement of Haydn’s Sonata in D major.”

Burgmueller 25 Haydn in D major
Tang Xiaoxing has never despised any musical work. On the contrary, she respects every work, even if it is a nursery rhyme.

Her great-grandfather has always told her since she was a child that the distinction between music is period, style, genre and type, not difficulty. Later, after formally learning piano with Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen also always taught her not to use the words "easy to play" and "troublesome" To measure a newly acquired work.

It would be very understandable if Che Lin said that she has been practicing these again recently, because she often practices the works she has practiced before.

But what Che Lin was talking about was the 25 pieces of Bugmüller that she had just practiced, and she had just finished practicing the music in D major.

Doesn’t what Che Lin mean by this is just to get here?

Tang Xiaoxing has always believed that Che Lin's playing level is very high, and this is not a random feeling.

It's a "full score" in the listening test, and it's the little tin train in the music modification session. Can she say that she really likes the song that Che Lin changed, and this morning she sat in on Che Lin's class, which was her first time. She heard Che Lin play the piano formally, and her playing was very moving. When she heard Che Lin play the C-sharp minor waltz, she had a feeling that Che Lin was interpreting her inner world.

That kind of calmness, that kind of pure exclusivity made her feel amazing and curious.

Perhaps it was after listening to Che Lin's performance in the morning that she began to unconsciously want to approach Che Lin.

She admitted that she was a little envious of the various pleasant interactions between Che Lin and Teacher Li before, but Che Lin's performance in front of the piano made her feel like she wanted to get closer.

Throughout the whole day after morning, Tang Xiaoxing quietly observed Che Lin's every move.

When the duo was playing rhythm in the morning, she actually couldn't hold on for a long time, but she saw that Che Lin kept persisting, even if the opponent's movements were deformed later, she still persisted, so she also chose to persist.

At lunch in the restaurant, she noticed that Che Lin would pick up the rice with a rice bowl when eating. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the lunch meal was also delicious.

During the afternoon stage performance, she saw Che Lin methodically moving left and right in front of the piano. No one knew that at that moment, her left and right hands were also imitating Che Lin's movements on her legs. It was really difficult.

At that time, she became even more convinced that Che Lin had superb piano skills.

In addition to her piano skills, Che Lin is also very cute in her eyes, just like watching the concert with her arms propped up just now.

She noticed it from the beginning, but she never thought that the other person was worried about wrinkles in the dress when he sat like that.

How could she have imagined that Che Lin, who was still practicing what she practiced six years ago, could play such a moving waltz.

"It's amazing." Tang Xiaoxing couldn't help but admire.

Xiaoche hurriedly waved his hands: "I'm not good, you are good. You have already played Beethoven's Fifth Concerto. The teacher said he has never played this piece."

If we had changed the topic to another topic, I would have been happier to hear Teacher Li mentioning himself, Tang Xiaoxing, "Hey."

"Huh?" Xiaoche was puzzled.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere at the moment, or maybe it was the concerned look cast by Che Lin in the darkness. Tang Xiaoxing lowered his head, a faint sadness creeping up the corner of his eyebrows, "Actually, I don't want to practice this piece of music."

The car made an "ah" sound, and she was even more puzzled. What a beautiful song.

Tang Xiaoxing, who had never revealed his true feelings to anyone, didn't know where he got the courage. He raised his head and looked at the bright eyes close at hand, and said softly but firmly: "I don't like this piece of music, and I don't want to practice it."

The car was caught in an instant. She understood this feeling. Tang Xiaoxing said she didn't want to practice, unlike herself who didn't like studying before. The difference was that Tang Xiaoxing practiced and did very well, but her academic performance was a mess.

From this point of view, Tang Xiaoxing was much better than himself. Xiaoche then thought of another question, whether it was because Tang Xiaoxing was going to study abroad, so he had to prepare this song.

"Then." Xiao Che was about to ask more questions when he saw Tang Xiaoxing let out a long breath and then gave her a relaxed smile, "Huh?"

"Wow————————"

Applause rang out again, and the two little girls had to "force" to pause their whispering session again.

As Professor Anna stood up to take the stage, Tang Xiaoxing imitated Che Lin's movements and put his hands on the edge of the bench to prop up his body and lean forward.

The car was stunned, Tang Xiaoxing turned around, and the two little girls looked at each other and smiled.This smile seemed to close the distance between the two people again.

The final performance of the first half of the concert, the mazurka, was performed by Professor Anastasia.

"Wow————————"
-
There is no doubt that Chopin was a great piano composer, but one thing must not be ignored when studying the performance style of his works. He was also a patriotic national musician.

Among Chopin's numerous creations, if there is one genre that is naturally connected with Polish national music, it must be the mazurka.

Mazurka, the transliteration of English Mazurka.

A Polish folk dance with complex movements and constantly changing rhythms, including sliding, spinning, kicking, or many people gathering around to "goof around".

It is said that Chopin was a master of this dance when he was a child. Whenever guests came to their home, he would be asked to show off his talents by the adults.

Probably for this reason, Chopin's body was infused with the rhythm of the mazurka when he was very young.

So it is not surprising that the mazurka later became another unique creative field of Chopin.

In the entire piano music literature, when mentioning Mazurka, the first person who has to be mentioned is Chopin.

Other composers also have mazurkas, but only the mazurkas written by Chopin are the most dazzling and have the fragrance of Polish earth.

Chopin's Mazurka expresses feelings about his hometown and land, and its music contains strong local feelings. Therefore, if you want to enter the depth of Chopin's music, listening to Chopin's Mazurka is the best choice.

At the request of Boss X, Professor Anna prepared two complete sets of mazurka works for this concert.

As soon as the performance began, Professor Anna used her unique Russian piano style to give the stage a touch of exotic flavor.

To the children in the audience, the mazurka sounded strange and strange. The tone and rhythm were completely different from the ballade played by Professor Martin and the etude played by Liu Duyi.

Especially the second mazurka No. 33, Professor Anna started with an irregular playing method like "staggering around", and then gave people a "enthusiasm will be halved at any time" treatment during the variations. The whole process is aimed at putting the music in a lazy swing state.

Children are used to hearing dreamy Chopin, gorgeous Chopin, and sad Chopin, and then listening to Chopin waving his arms in the fields, it is difficult for children not to find it interesting.

It’s just that children are children after all. Obviously, the melody of this mazurka is not as catchy as the previous mazurka. After the freshness is over, some children soon cheer up.

In the end, there were only a few children left who could persist in listening attentively, but this did not prevent those who listened to follow Professor Anna's musical thoughts further and further.

Although the music didn't make any big waves until the end, this is Chopin's Mazurka. The simple structure occasionally has a strange fragrance that breaks through the air, which is enough to make those who are willing to open their minds into a garden.

Passing through the swaying notes, under the treetops blowing in the wind in the quiet garden, isn't that young boy dancing the Chopin of his childhood?

"when-"

After the last note fell, Professor Anna stopped her hand, and the audience burst into applause.

"Wow------"

"It plays so well."

Li An's muttering attracted Ji Yang and Xiaobei's side glances at the same time.

Fortunately for Ji Yang, she could feel the lyricism in Professor Anna's performance, but Xiaobei was scratching her head.

I didn't hear any good tunes from the beginning to the end. If Xiaobei were to evaluate it, Xiaobei really couldn't say what's so good about these two songs.

Sensing the gazes of the two children, Li An glanced at each other, smiled and didn't ask anything.

Then he picked up the set list and said, "It's time for the car to come on stage soon."

Xiaobei corrected: "Teacher, Song Siyan will play first in the second half, followed by Tang Xiaoxing, and finally Linlin."

Xiaobei said with some pride, "Linlin is the last one to appear," as if the most important person always appears last.

Ang Lee put down the track list and explained: "Her music is soothing and the shortest in length, so putting it at the end has the best effect on the entire concert, similar to the encore before the end of the concert."

Xiaobei: "Uh"

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, is Chopin's Third Sonata difficult?"

Ang Lee: "It's very difficult. It's a piece that's not easy to master from both a technical and emotional point of view, especially the fourth movement, which requires extremely high speed accuracy and key touch span."

Xiao Ji: "Where's Bi Xusi?"

Ang Lee: "I don't recommend that you compare two pieces of music that you have never touched before at this stage. You can listen carefully to Tang Xiaoxing's playing for a while. I listened to her playing a little bit in the morning, and you can just listen to it later."

Xiao Ji: "Good teacher."

Beside Wang Xiaohu and four boys were also discussing, and Ma Hao whispered: "That piece of music was not played by humans."

Liu Fengrui: "Have you played it?"

Ma Hao immediately put on a horrified expression, "How is that possible!"

Wang Xiaohu wanted to hear what was special about this song, but he thought to himself, which scared Ma Hao, "Are you going to the bathroom?"

"go with!"

"Walk."

"gogogo."

One call and three responses.

During the intermission, the two little girls in the waiting room started chatting mode again.

Continuing the topic of "Tang Xiaoxing doesn't want to practice the Bayou Concerto", Xiaoche continued to ask Tang Xiaoxing, "Then you practiced this piece because you were going to a foreign school?"

Tang Xiaoxing shook his head: "No, I don't have this piece in my exam repertoire. I just started practicing this piece."

Xiaoche was puzzled: "Then why do you have to practice this song?"

Tang Xiaoxing: "The teacher asked me to practice, and my uncle also asked me to practice."

Xiao Che understood what was going on this time. Tang Xiaoxing didn't like this piece of music, but he was helplessly asked by the adults to practice it.

"Will Teacher Li force you to practice anything?" Tang Xiaoxing suddenly asked.

Xiaoche waved his hand: "The teacher will give me music scores for whatever I want to practice, but the premise is that I have to practice what the teacher assigns well."

Tang Xiaoxing immediately envied Che Lin even more. It would be great if she could also play what she likes after completing the adult's request.

"You can also practice some of your favorite songs while completing Teacher Chen's homework."

The car offers advice.
