Please, come home and practice the piano

Li An has a lot of experience in creating atmosphere.

But he wasn't joking. He definitely wouldn't write a short composition, but he had the idea of ​​getting a set of Boer music scores from Boss X, and he was very strong.

After a burst of laughter, the restaurant became quieter, and the children turned their attention to eating.

"You're spending a lot of money."

One thing to say, if it were Li An, he would be a little reluctant to make such a promise to his children. There are more than 40 children.

Boss X didn’t feel distressed at all, “As long as they can hand it over.”

Wang Han: "I think they are just very talkative. After a while they are full and go home and cannot sleep until night."

Sun Liwen: "Don't talk about them. I've been very tired these days. I have to have a good sleep in the afternoon."

Wu Zening: "When people reach this age, sometimes they can't even sleep even if they want to."

Huang Chuxian: "Teacher Wu, you are not much older than us, are you?"

Wu Zening: "It's time for my eldest son to enter the first year of high school at the beginning of school."

Good guy, everyone really didn’t see it.

Huang Chuxian: "Hey, Teacher Wu, why didn't your children come with you this time?"

Wu Zening sighed: "The second child is still young, and the eldest brother did not persist and stopped learning after reaching the fourth grade. When he was a child, I would force him to practice, and he would cry. When he cried, his mother would say that he would not practice anymore, and I would not practice anymore. One more thing, his mother started to quarrel with me because I always quarreled with him because of his learning piano. In the end, I couldn’t help it. I thought to myself, forget it if I don’t want to learn piano. It’s really hard to take care of my own children. "

Boss Sometimes I clasp my hands and sometimes I touch this and that, and you’ll get angry if you stand by and watch.”

Wang Han: "It's really like this. The teachers around me can't take care of their own children."

Huang Chuxian: "Maybe my patience is used on other people's children."

This has been said to the hearts of the people.

Wu Zening: "I also reflected on it later and found that I did do something wrong. I gave him lessons and I would tell him when he made a mistake. It was not like giving lessons to other children and encouraging them to take their time. You always say He, he must feel uncomfortable, and over time he will naturally develop a repulsion towards this thing."

After a pause, "Teacher Li, are you married?"

Li An swallowed the food in his mouth: "Ahem, not yet."

Wang Han: "I must have a girlfriend already."

Ang Lee: "Yes, yes."

Wu Zening: "You will definitely be able to take care of your children in the future."

Everyone nodded, everyone saw Li An's method of dealing with children.

Ang Lee: "You guys can't handle it, and I guess I can't either."

Yuan Xiaoyu: "Hey Li An, have you and Chen Xuan discussed whether your child should learn flute or piano in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately realized that Li An's girlfriend was a flute player.

Li Anle: "It doesn't matter what we say. If she doesn't like music, there's nothing we can do. But if she likes it, I think she has to learn piano first."

Boss X: "Okay, okay, I must convey this to Chen Xuan."

"Hahaha——" everyone laughed.
-
The teacher's table burst into laughter, and the children looked over one after another, not knowing what the teachers were laughing at.

After coming back to their senses, the children in piano classroom No. [-] continued to discuss the issue of handing in homework in the evening.

Originally, the other children had no intention of spending a thousand words to get a copy of the score, but seeing Che Lin and Marco swearing by it, they were inspired to fight.

The one who suffered the most was Senior Sister Ji Yang.

After finally finishing the college entrance examination, Xiao Ji thought that she would never have to write so many words in her life, but she had no choice. Seeing that her younger brothers and sisters were so enthusiastic, she simply joined. It just so happened that she also wanted to take away a copy of the music score as a gift. commemoration of this event.

"Eat quickly. After eating, hurry up and go back to write. Don't waste time watching Teacher Chen's game in the afternoon."

"Senior sister, is it four o'clock?" Xiaobei asked.

Xiao Ji: "The teacher said four o'clock."

Wang Xiaohu: "If I start writing at one o'clock, it will be exactly three hours until four o'clock. One hour is 333 words, and one minute is 1 words. Rounding off, it is 3.3 words. It is very easy."

Everyone was speechless.

Liu Fengrui: "Your math Olympiad skills are really worth it. Why don't you participate in the math competition? Maybe you can win a special prize."

Wang Xiaohu: "Huh?"

Marco: "Is it possible that an hour is not a hundred minutes?"

Wang Xiaohu looked at everyone's weird eyes, slapped his forehead, and quickly changed his words: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, 1 minute is 5.5555 words."

Xiaobei's last strike: "So it's right to round it off to six characters."

The children laughed wildly.

Xiao Ji: "You're not thinking wrong, you're thinking too much. There's no way to count the number of words in a composition. You may not be able to write it in five hours according to your ideas. You have to think about what you want to write first."

"You guys too, think about what you want to express before writing, and grasp one point first."

In the next 10 minutes, Senior Sister Xiao Ji gave the children a mini composition class.
-
After eating and drinking, the children got up and left one after another. The teachers had finished eating long ago and had been chatting, talking about teaching students and about life.

When he saw the figure of old Charlie, An Li almost forgot that he wanted to ask Boss X, "Teacher Chen, which master did Professor Charlie learn piano from when he was young?"

As soon as Li An finished speaking, the dinner table became quiet.

Boss X: "He has had many teachers, but the one who had the greatest influence on him was probably Serkin."

Selkin? !There was a commotion.

Sun Liwen: "Rudolf Serkin."

Boss X: "That's it."

Rudolf Serkin is considered one of the greatest contemporary pianists and one of the greatest contemporary interpreters of Beethoven, Mozart, Grams and Schubert.

In an era when there was no shortage of piano masters, Serkin became famous at a young age for his elegant and traditional German and Austrian playing style.

In his later years, with his steadfast and loyal attitude toward the composer, Serkin used his extraordinary playing skills and love for music to become a well-deserved spokesperson for German and Austrian works.

Li An had thought that Mr. Cha's teacher was a big shot, but he was still a little surprised.

It seemed that he was really lucky this time. Bo Er was saved. Just as Li An was thinking about it, he caught Boss X's gaze.

Mr.

Li An was moved. Did he come out so early?
Speaking of the Xiaoxiao competition, Sun Liwen also received an email this morning, "I see that the offline competition areas have been canceled this time, and all competition areas have been changed to online selection."

Boss International Finals.”

After a pause, he said, "I think some of the children who came this time are quite good. You can go back and think about it. This competition can still be used by children."

Wang Han looked at Huang Chuxian: "I remember Ma Hao seemed to have participated before."

Huang Chuxian: "In the end, I got fourth place in the sub-division, which was almost."

Yuan Xiaoyu: “Come back next year.”

Huang Chuxian: "I want him to try Little Golden Bell next year."

Wu Zening: "It's better to sign up for kids like this and treat it as training." Huang Chuxian nodded and looked at Li An: "Che Lin will participate in Little Golden Bell next year."

Although next year's Little Golden Bell will be at home, Li An has really considered this issue carefully. Li An is also thinking about what competition Che Lin will participate in next. Although Xiao Che's current repertoire is small, he must participate in the competition. , "Let's see then."

Boss X: "The two competitions are different in nature, so you need to plan ahead."

The speaker meant it, and the listener also meant it. Boss X’s words were obviously meant for Li An. Boss X also mentioned the same thing to Li An last night.

Xiao Xiaosai.
After the meal, Li An returned to the room and called Teacher Wei as soon as possible. Since Boss X and Sun Liwen had received the brochure, Teacher Wei had to know about it.

"Hey teacher, I just finished eating. Well, let me ask you something. Xiao Sai's brochure has come out."

On the phone, "It came out yesterday morning. I posted it in the group, but you didn't see it, right?"

Li An has no time to watch the group these days, "I know, teacher, I'll take a look."

Lao Wei: "I still want to ask you, so you can take a look first. There are no big changes, except that there are no divisions. It is also convenient to record videos. You can make arrangements for a few children."

Li An: "Yes, teacher, let me take a look first."

Lao Wei: "The little guys are having a good time lately."

Ang Lee: “It’s all very rewarding.”

Then Li An reported to Lao Wei the activities of the summer camp these days, especially the performance of each child.

After hearing this, Lao Wei smiled happily: "Very good, very good. Just take them to play and pay attention to safety."

Li An: "Don't worry."

Lao Wei: "Xiao Chen has a competition today, right?"

Ang Lee: "The afternoon schedule."

Lao Wei: "I want to watch it, isn't it said that there will be a live broadcast?"

Ang Lee: "I will send you a link soon. Just click on it and it will play automatically."

Lao Wei: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore and you should hurry up and do your work."

Li An: "Yeah, goodbye, teacher."

After hanging up the phone from Lao Wei, Li An first found the link and sent it, then clicked on the competition brochure that Boss X just sent him to read.

Unlike Xiao Sai, which has no divisions into categories, Xiao Xiao Sai has as many as thirty groups, but only the professional group will eventually be able to go to Warsaw to participate in the global finals.

The professional group is divided into three groups according to age. Xiao Che's age is a bit disadvantaged - this was Ang Lee's first reaction when he saw the division of the professional group.

Professional Group A: Born after 2014

Professional Group B: Born from 2011 to 2013

Professional Group C: Born from 2007 to 2010

If Xiao Che had been born just four months later, he would have been admitted to Group B.

Xiao Che is the oldest in Group B, and the required difficulty of the repertoire is low and the required playing time is also short.

But if you want to sign up for a small car, you can only sign up for Group C.

Group C repertoire requirements:
The competition requirements for each category of the professional group are applicable to the preliminaries, China regional finals, and global finals.

1) Choose any Allegro movement from Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven

2) Chopin Mazurka in A minor Op.17 no.4 (required piece)
3) Choose any Chopin waltz
4) Choose any Chopin Nocturne

5) A virtuoso work
The total performance time of the above five pieces shall not be less than 5 minutes and shall not exceed 30 minutes.

The requirements for Group B are only 4 tracks, with a total duration of no less than 15 minutes and no more than 20 minutes.

The difficulty gap between the two is not as simple as 15 minutes, and must take into account the entire age group.

In Li An's opinion, the most cruel group for Xiao Xiao is the Professional Group C. Children in 07 will be 16 next year, and Xiao Che hasn't even passed his 13th birthday yet.

The age of 12 to 16 is a period of rapid professional growth for a child.

The national finals will be in May next year, but the video submission time for the sub-divisions will be in March this year, which means that including the Chinese New Year, the car will only have half a year to prepare.

In half a year, five works were not too much pressure on the car.

However, it should be considered that if the car can enter the national finals through the division selection, or if it can be released a little more, just in case it can enter the world finals, then the repertoire cannot be chosen casually.

Except for the second designated piece, every remaining piece must be chosen to be a tough battle piece.

Through the Chengdu Cup competition, Li An saw the rapid growth of the car during the competition.

He doesn't need the car to get any rankings, he simply hopes that the car can stimulate the potential in the body through one game after another.

But now we only have half a year, can the child do it?

Different from participating in the Little Golden Bell, as Boss X said, it is completely a competition of two natures.

Li An put down his cell phone and started spinning around in the room. After spinning for a while, his mood calmed down a lot.

Yes, there is no need to participate in this session. You can wait for another two years for Xiaoqi to participate again. By then, Xiaoqi will be an older child in Group C.

But when he thought that Tang Xiaoxing would participate in the audition for the next Chopin Competition in two and a half years, Li An couldn't help but sigh.

The Chosai International Piano Competition and the Chopin International Children's Piano Competition are completely two types of competitions.

Although Ang Lee joked at the dinner table in the morning about letting the car participate in the Chopin Competition, in fact, even he had no confidence that he would be able to get a ticket to the Chopin Competition in two years.

a long time.

Let’s ask the children, thinking about what Boss

Say.

Li An took one last look at the registration deadline, which was November 11, then crossed out the screen, loaded up his phone, and left the room.

He had to think about it carefully. As for the other children, he could just participate in the open competitions of other groups if he was interested.

In the 2004 room, Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui had already started writing notes after class, and Ma Ke was sitting by the bed holding the score.

There were three knocks on the door, and Marco stood up: "I'm leaving."

Wang Xiaohu: "Good luck."

Liu Fengrui: "Come on."

Marco opened the door, and it turned out to be the teacher standing outside.

Ang Lee: "Let's go."

Xiao Ma is going to have a concert tonight, and Li An made an appointment with Xiao Ma in the morning to have a class after lunch.
-
Room 3006.

The thoughts in the car are like springs, and the writing is like a spirit.

It was the first time for her to write an essay so easily, and she felt like she had endless words to write.

While writing Baroque dance music, she was thinking about the mazurka and the teacher's words in the morning. The teacher said that she should participate in the Chopin Competition.

She promised the teacher, but she couldn't even play a mazurka.
