Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 683 382. Journey Notes 68: Dancers under the tree, silent innocence [Part [-]]

Tang Xiaoxing sighed quietly.

She never played what she liked when she wanted to play, because this was not allowed. All she was allowed was to follow the teacher's requirements and complete one piece after another, like playing It was like an endless mountain, sometimes weighing her down so much that she couldn't breathe.

She didn't know how to explain this to Che Lin, as if she was born in this family, it was destined that her piano learning path would not be similar to that of her peers. Who could give her an explanation?
"Che Lin, are you ever tired of playing the piano?"

"No."

moment.

"so good."

For a moment, Xiaoche felt a strong sense of exhaustion from Tang Xiaoxing's three words, which made her a little breathless.

"Che Lin, are we friends?"

"Yes."

"Can you keep a secret for me?"

"Well, actually."

"Ok?"

"You can practice secretly."

Tang Xiaoxing was stunned, "Practice secretly?"

Xiaoche: "Is there someone always next to you when you practice the piano?"

Tang Xiaoxing shook his head.

Xiaoche: "That's it. You can practice whatever you want. No one knows about it anyway. What can I do if I know it? Can I beat you up? If you still practice after beating you and make them mad, I will practice whatever you want." drop?"

Tang Xiaoxing's brain was at a loss for a while, thinking about this, this, this, and this, but listening to Che Lin's words inexplicably made her feel very happy.

Xiaoche: "Do you have any songs you want to practice now?"

When she was suddenly asked this question, Tang Xiaoxing couldn't say anything for a moment, but she had a lot of songs in her heart that she didn't want to practice.

After listening to the piece that Tang Xiaoxing didn't want to practice, Xiaoche asked after a while, "Is it all the teacher's homework?"

Tang Xiaoxing nodded.

For a moment, Xiaoche didn't know how else to help this new friend. In her heart, the teacher's homework must be completed.

The chat seemed to be cut off here, and the two little girls fell silent.

"Wow------"

Neither of them said a word until Song Siyan walked onto the stage in the second half.

Listening to Song Siyan's Nocturne in E flat major, it was like the other way around. The car no longer held up its arms and slumped down, letting the fabric in the middle of the skirt pile up around her waist.

On the side, Tang Xiaoxing stretched out his hands straight and looked at the stage with a calm expression, occasionally blinking his eyelashes.

When the applause started again, Song Siyan bowed and left the stage. The audience's eyes saw Song Siyan off the stage, but the long-haired figure who stood up in the waiting area was left behind.

Then there was another wave of applause, "Wow——————"

Different from the white dress at the opening ceremony, Tang Xiaoxing today wore a purple satin dress that was more beautiful than Song Siyan. Facing the stage lights, people sitting farthest away could see clearly the golden patterns outlined with gold threads on the dress. , gorgeous yet elegant.

Coupled with long black hair that was not restrained by a hairband, Tang Xiaoxing stood up and immediately confused a group of young boys.

Tang Xiaoxing turned around and saw Che Lin looking at her with an encouraging smile.

call.

Every time he stepped onto the stage, Tang Xiaoxing felt that he had become the center of the entire church hall.

Listening to the familiar applause and feeling the familiar eyes, she calmly walked to the familiar piano and sat down.

After adjusting the piano stool to a familiar height, she raised her hand habitually.

Just as everyone in the audience held their breath, waiting for the first movement of Chopin's Third Sonata to come, Tang Xiaoxing's raised right hand was retracted.

Just now, various conversations with Che Lin flashed through Tang Xiaoxing's mind, and she suddenly wanted to change her approach.

The teacher has always emphasized to her that she should extend her right hand first when starting a sentence, and then move her left hand out the moment the right hand drops its fingers.

Because the first sentence of the weak section only has the right hand, special emphasis must be placed on the strength of the right hand - f.

But now she wanted to stretch out both hands to start a sentence. She thought that as long as the effect remained unchanged, the teacher could not say anything to her.

Just like that, under the gaze of all eyes, Tang Xiaoxing stretched out his two hands.

Before Boss X in the audience could react, he saw his beloved disciple's hands falling neatly.

"Dang-dang-dang! Dang--"

As soon as the descending scale resolutely came out, the whole hall suddenly entered a solemn palace. The motivation brought out by the four consecutive sentences was straightforward and decisive, making people immediately be brought into the theme of the music.

In just four measures, Tang Xiaoxing showed extraordinary skill and control. Every note tended to be extremely delicate, thought-provoking, and the heart-stirring breathing rhythm became rapid.

Looking at Tang Xiaoxing's precise body movements, if the stage scene was blurred, no one would imagine that this was a child's performance.

The majestic two-hand chords are not suspected of showing off their skills at all, and the infiltration of romantic wind easily wraps up the scene from all directions.

The children were shocked. They thought that Tang Xiaoxing's graceful and superb performance skills in the trio at the opening ceremony were already the limit. Only now did they truly understand what level they had to obtain the piano major of the Tchaikovsky Central Music School. recognition.

Tang Xiaoxing takes one of the two places, why?Every child has a clear answer in his heart.

The teachers were shocked more because of Tang Xiaoxing's ability to control the music freely. With such a powerful and heavy performance, he could still make the music expression delicate and timeless.

Just this coherent and dynamic performance is enough to confirm the name of the talented girl.

They know that there are some things in music performance that cannot be achieved by practice alone.

But what most people at the scene didn't know at this moment was that the set of motive performances they heard was not the original version of Tang Xiaoxing's practice in the piano room.

Boss X felt something was wrong from the moment Tang Xiaoxing's hands fell neatly.

He knew his beloved disciple very well. Under normal circumstances, Tang Xiaoxing would never perform any moves on stage that had not been seen in the practice room.

Tang Xiaoxing's every move on stage and every adjustment of his breath have been strictly trained off stage.

Especially for such an important motive phrase, the effect of one hand and the effect of both hands are completely different.

So it was obvious to him that Tang Xiaoxing's opening performance did not follow their established plan from the beginning.

According to Tang Xiaoxing's previous treatment, the intensity of the four descending scales at the beginning should be controlled to leave enough space for the emphasis of the sharp fa in the next section.

But just now, Tang Xiaoxing's performance weakened the fa-sharp, and then made an extreme crescendo in the following three sets of chord performances, which was as powerful as a heaven-shaking shout.He was confused at that moment. This was not at all what he had planned for Tang Xiaoxing.

But the sense of propriety and control shown in the flow of music gave him a strong mind.

He subconsciously thought that the child was practicing this secretly on his own, but that shouldn't be the case. Tang Xiaoxing had studied piano with him for so many years and had never dealt with music in private.

Another surprised person was Professor Martin.

On the first day after landing, Martin gave Tang Xiaoxing a lesson about this piece. He was the only person present who had listened to Tang Xiaoxing's Chopin's Third Sonata in its entirety, except for Boss X and brother and sister Lu Hanwen and Liu Ziqian.

Compared with the scene he listened to that morning, what Tang Xiaoxing played at this time was a completely different version.

Martin feels that this kind of processing is more natural for children in front of the piano, with less modification and more expression.

No matter what the people in the audience thought, Tang Xiaoxing on the stage couldn't stop.

Just when her hands fell together, she realized that she had thought wrong. She broke the original starting method, and the entire musical idea would change involuntarily, which she had never expected.

The sharp fa that should have been emphasized after the descending note column disappeared from her mind at that moment and was replaced by a weak note. She pressed it, and the following ascending major chord turned into three impulses in her mind.

The three crescendoing major chords resounded across the stage like an oath-like horn under her finger. At that moment, every bit of what the teacher had said in her mind became fragmented, followed by a set of completely unfamiliar yet extremely familiar musical ideas. appeared before her eyes.

At this moment, after repeatedly emphasizing the recurring motive and reaching the connecting part, the large cadenza she was about to perform in front of her was played directly with a very positive finger drop.

Just want to run wildly like untying the restraints, Tang Xiaoxing thought, and quickly jumped out thirteen sets of rapid double tones with his right hand.

Then he immediately took over the descending melody with his left hand, and then four small dots symbolizing the heartbeat suddenly appeared in front of the piano. Tang Xiaoxing's hands fell neatly again. During his breath, his right hand voice went up, and his left hand voice went up, creating a contrast between his hands. The sound makes people unconsciously fall into a tense atmosphere.

All of this was done without any choreography, as if the blood that had been buried in Tang Xiaoxing's body suddenly awakened and was injected into his hands.

In the subsequent performance, Tang Xiaoxing completed the solemn Allegro of the first movement under the complicated eyes of Boss

The opening motive reappears, sprinting, circling, and then falling back, with both arms falling simultaneously to play two sets of major chords.

"Dang! Dang!"

Echoing the beginning and end, Boss This scene before my eyes.

He took the morning class, and there was no sign of anything wrong, but the afternoon class was taken by Li An.

In the scherzo of the second movement that followed, Tang Xiaoxing once again brought a "surprise" to Boss X.

Tang Xiaoxing seemed to transform into a beautiful butterfly in the second movement, and all the themes related to the first movement became Tang Xiaoxing's garden.

Even the children in the audience can feel the joy of this movement. When the music slows down, everyone seems to have the dewdrops in the morning sun dripping on their faces again, cool and slippery, like the wind blowing on their faces. .

When the music started to dance quickly again, the joy was like being awakened from a dream, and the whole hall once again turned into a sea of ​​flowers.

However, the joy lasted for less than three and a half minutes. As a solemn note was struck in front of the piano, the stage style suddenly changed.

The third movement, the slowest one, has a heavy introduction from c sharp to b to a sharp and finally falls heavily on g sharp. The piano takes a difficult step, step by step downwards under Tang Xiaoxing's slow hands.

The huge sense of oppression formed a strong contrast with the end of the second movement just now, slowly approaching the audience.

The dotted blank space is like the contemplation of the soul, and Tang Xiaoxing injects it into the music with fff's performance.

Listening to the deliberate brewing in his ears and completing the perfect explosion under the control of his hands, Tang Xiaoxing felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

She has always had doubts about the connection between the second and third movements, and she has never been able to play that feeling of waking up from a dream in one step.

Professor Martin's emotional foreshadowing in Symposium [-] inspired her. With the help of Teacher Li's explanation of the contrast between strengths and weaknesses, she finally performed the feeling she imagined at this moment.

She did it, and when she did it, she also became clearer. The so-called contrast can and can only be completed during the process of music.

Between the two movements, there are endless musical thoughts of the composer.

In other words, no corner of the composer's musical thoughts exists in isolation. If there is, it should reasonably appear in the music.

Lowering his finger again, Tang Xiaoxing's movements and expressions became much softer, and the music seemed to float lightly into the air.

The peaceful middle section is full of yearning for warmth, which again contrasts with the emotions brought about by the introduction.

With the characteristics of a nocturne, the entire third movement naturally moves towards a lengthy sweetness between the two contrasts between stillness and movement.

Tang Xiaoxing's solid yet agile voice appropriately interprets refined beauty, even though her innate beauty of appearance comes from the world.

A beautiful girl playing the piano is a pleasing picture. Coupled with Chopin's touching melody, the stage has become a beautiful scenery at this moment.

Of course, Ang Lee would not think that Tang Xiaoxing's handling of the strong and weak between the two movements was the result of his afternoon lecture, even though he actually saw the twelve teaching points.

Putting that aside, he just thought this kid was really amazing.

Everyone knows the truth. Things that can be explained in two sentences are usually not very valuable. There is a natural high wall between knowing and doing it.

What is talent? Talent is that some people are born on the other side of the wall.

When the finale came, Tang Xiaoxing once again entered with extremely strong intensity, instantly breaking the peaceful and sweet atmosphere of the third movement.

Immediately afterwards, the undercurrent of the melody followed one after another, growing and spreading infinitely towards the edge of the desert like vertical vines.

Suddenly Tang Xiaoxing raised and lowered his right hand, his right arm moved quickly, fingers were flying on the keyboard, and the piano was surrounded by sword energy transformed from vines.

The opening of the phrases was majestic. Before he knew it, Tang Xiaoxing himself didn't realize that the exciting piano melody was slowly gaining momentum.

The movement of her left hand, which countless performers had practiced to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, was now rolling vigorously on her fingertips, and then ignited with agility.

The repetitive flow of sound flowed back and forth under her fingertips, and finally the running in the high register turned into a sharp roar of the soul. The audience was once again shocked by this scene.

Tang Xiaoxing, who is full of energy, uses dense chords as a transition at the end, and controls his hands sonorously and powerfully to run towards the final tonic!

The gorgeous downward movement is like clouds falling from the sky, Dang!Dang!Dang!Dang!Four groups of bright and brilliant harmonies set the stage for the finale.

Appealing to his inner desire for freedom, Tang Xiaoxing struck the keys four times. After experiencing the precise control of three movements, he let himself go at this moment. His hands lost control, crackling the keys crazily, and fell into the bass.

"when!"

The final sound of relief resounded throughout the audience.

Get up and bow.

“Wow——————————————————”

Facing the heat of applause, Tang Xiaoxing felt light and airy all over her body, which was different from before, and then she bowed again.

She could feel her heartbeat and the smile on her lips.
-
After walking off the stage, Tang Xiaoxing wiped the sweat from her forehead. The first thing that caught her eye was still the smiling face full of encouragement.

Unlike before Tang Xiaoxing came on stage, this time the car showed two thumbs up in the air.

They laughed and were speechless.
