Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 720 418. Journey Notes : The final rehearsal, seven smiling faces

Chen Xuan used the backbeat lag method to apply the wind orchestra rehearsal method to the piano duet problem, allowing the children to catch up with each other while speeding up on the piano at the last moment.

Although the credit cannot all go to her. Li An and the children have been working hard on this for a long time, including the careful guidance of Teacher Wei and Qin Yong. But without her timely "interjection", the children might not have been able to do so. I missed the opportunity to reach a higher level today.

Striking while the iron was hot, Chen Xuan and Boss Before the end, Chen Xuan quietly returned to Tang Xiaoxing and sat down.

After the performance of the second movement ended, Du Mei told the children one last question. The voice connection in the third movement mainly revolves around a transition between the middle and high voices.

"Timing," Boss X translated, "a successful drama requires mastering the right timing."

Du Mei asked Liu Fengrui, who played three parts, and Marco, who played five parts, to play from bars 18 to 22 of their respective third movements. After they finished playing, Professor Du Mei asked the two to play together.

After the two played together, he pointed out that the interface in measure 20 made it impossible to hear the alternation between the parts.

Regarding this point, when Professor Du Mei pointed out these sections, Li An understood what he meant.

In order to save time, Li An invited Boss X to come with him. According to Professor Du Mei's request, he played three parts and Boss X played five parts.

The child still remembers the scene of the two teachers playing piano that morning, and is naturally very happy to see such a scene.

Everyone thought that they would see the two teachers using tacit cooperation to show everyone the perfect answers. However, the two teachers did not connect well the first time.

At the interface of measure 20, there is a gap of about a quarter of a beat between the alternation of the two voices.

Not only did the children not expect it, but the two performers also did not expect it.

The colleagues raised their hands and looked at each other, laughing helplessly along with the children's chuckles.

"Why didn't you pick me up?" Li An asked.

Boss X: "Why don't you give it to me?"

"Hahahaha——" This question and answer immediately turned the children's chuckles into laughter.

It's all because the two of them were so ceremonial.

In the laughter, the crux of the problem also emerged. In such a small interface that requires relay, should the person handing over the baton run more, or should the person taking over the baton run more?

Li An was not aware of the existence of this problem from the beginning. Even when Professor Du Mei raised the question just now, he only thought that the connection between the interface positions needed to be more harmonious.

But how to achieve harmony is not to make a joke with Boss X affectionately. He did not expect that the problem turned out to be here.

Ang Lee: "Come again."

Boss X: “Come again.”

After all, these two people knew how to deal with it the next time after they had it once. The two of them had just dealt with it in a way that they assumed the other party would cater to them.

"when."

"when."

Two people started the two pianos at the same time, and the beautiful melody started. The children also quieted down and turned their attention to the music.

This time the two of them didn't even look at the keyboard, and just looked into each other's eyes.

The music calmly reached the 20th measure. When Ang Lee was about to finish playing his part, he slightly dragged the keys to bring the music backwards, creating an extremely delicate diminuendo.

The sound of the piano was as breathy as a gossamer, and Boss

The children didn't know at which moment the music completed the alternation of parts.

They only saw that their teacher’s hands did not leave the keyboard after completing his voice, and that Teacher Chen had already made changes in his voice before his voice had fully arrived.

The two piano sounds are highly unified like the front and rear ends of a ray of sunshine, but the changes in the color of the music are so vivid and profound.

The children couldn't help but be intoxicated by the harmonious and colorful beauty. Unfortunately, the two teachers had such a tacit understanding even when they stopped.

Boss X: “That’s right.”

"Who says it's not?" Li An echoed.

The children were amused again, and the conversation between the two teachers was so interesting.

Du Mei also laughed along with the children. Although he didn't know what the two people said, he didn't expect it to break when they played it for the first time.

With the help of Boss X, Li An briefly communicated with Professor Du Mei. After clarifying what the other party wanted to express, he clasped his hands and bowed to Du Mei.

Then he turned around and said, "Come and sit down, open the score, take out a pen, and let's draw all the interfaces of the third movement. There aren't many, there should be eight. After we've finished, we'll talk about it together."

Under the leadership of Li An, the children quickly found all the interfaces.

"Sure enough, there are eight." Marco whispered to himself.

The car on the side reminded: "Pay attention."

"Look, each interface is responsible for playing the first two beats. Listen carefully. Don't step on the pedal. Finally, use your fingertips to touch the keys to drag the sound to the first half of the third beat for a natural fade-out. Do you understand?"

Wang Xiaohu, Xiaobei, and Marco: “I understand!”

"Responsible for paying attention to the last two beats. You don't need to advance in advance, but you must change the fingertip touch to the fingertip touch. Add a kneading motion before dropping the finger. Relax the wrist at one and two joints to send the music. Listen to it. Yet?"

Liu Fengrui and Xiaoche: “I understand!”

Li An waved his hand: "Come."

As he spoke, he looked at Boss X and Professor Du Mei and nodded, then sat back in his seat and said, "The third movement, watch part one."

All the children looked at Senior Sister Ji Yang for a moment.

For a moment, Ji Yang raised his wrist gracefully, and the next moment, seven piano sounds sounded at the same time.

Du Mei was shocked by this scene again. His pupils were shaking and he didn't know which child to look at. When he entered the door, the children had already started. He started listening from the middle, so he didn't know how the children started. .

Now he saw that without a conductor or accompaniment, the children could enter the music together in complete order from just the movements of one player.

This seemed really awesome to him.

Boss X noticed the strangeness in Du Mei's expression and smiled proudly: "This is a very good team."

Du Mei nodded in agreement, at least he had never seen a group of children of this age in any country that could do this.

The interface processing is like the last touch of color on this ensemble painting. The harmonic colors and treble melody highlight the details in balance, triggering a kind of trembling tremor.

Du Mei can't wait to see the children's complete performance the night after tomorrow.

Boss X thought that the last version he heard was the best version.

Li An also thought that the children would have no room for improvement. In fact, he underestimated these babies.

Perhaps in this summer camp, in this busy collective learning process, everyone has learned something.

Probably only Chen Xuan, who was outside the summer camp, could see the scene most clearly. Children can do this. Before setting off, she could say that she watched how Li An prepared for the children bit by bit, doing what she thought she would do over and over again. Some repetitive preparation.

Looking at it now, Ang Lee was right.

Tang Xiaoxing was even more grateful that she had refused to participate in this duet due to her teacher. She could see that anyone could be missing from this duet, but the only person who couldn't be missing was Teacher Li.

If she replaces Teacher Li in the second part, she has no confidence that she will be able to dominate the music like Teacher Li.

Each part follows the second part so trustfully and moves forward little by little. This feeling is really great.

If it is possible in the future, if there is a lack of candidates for a vocal part, if she can have a chance, if her friends in Chengdu welcome her, she would like to try playing something with everyone.

Tang Xiaoxing didn't realize that she laughed out loud when she thought of some pictures, and she happened to be caught by Teacher Chen next to her.

Chen Xuan didn't know what the child next to her was laughing at, but she could feel that the child's smile was full of worries. She could understand it, although she still couldn't associate such a cute little girl with the next Chopin Competition. .

As the music fell, the classroom burst into applause again.

The first one to applaud was Tang Xiaoxing.

When Tang Xiaoxing applauded, Ji Yang turned his head and took a look.

There were every child in Ji Yang's sight, but Tang Xiaoxing, who was sitting far away, made her feel a little lonely, just like the lonely applause in her ears at the moment.

After being contacted at a summer camp, she got to know Tang Xiaoxing better. She seemed to be able to understand the teacher to a certain extent. Suddenly she came up with an idea. In the future, she would like to invite Tang Xiaoxing to Chengdu to play in Piano Classroom No. 4. In the name of senior sister. Everyone thought that the rehearsal should end at the end of this session. Unexpectedly, Teacher Li seemed not to be satisfied yet, and emphasized to the children not to forget their hand patterns when playing the interface.

"Don't raise your hands too high when playing chords, and don't leave the keyboard. Please, conductor tiger, detective horse, you two are talking about."

"A Liu, why are you laughing? And Xiao Bei, you two rub it together and mix in the music."

"Senior sister, you are a solo, so you have to fly freely like a bird. Don't keep looking at the ground. Those roads on the ground are not for you. Don't worry, there are cars on the ground."

"Small car, drive more steadily. I know what kind of difficulty it is. Drive more steadily."
-

The pleasant rehearsal finally ended after ten minutes, and the children's enthusiastic thanks gave Professor Du Mei an early taste of what family happiness is.

The group of people returned to the hotel entrance while chatting and laughing. Boss X and Professor Du Mei had made an appointment to go to the tavern for two drinks. They directly stated that they would not take Li An to play. The two said goodbye to the children and went to the tavern.

"Good night, Teacher Li, good night, Teacher Chen, good night, sister Ji Yang, good night everyone."

Tang Xiaoxing also took the initiative to say goodbye to everyone. Finally, he waved to Che Lin Xiaobei and turned to go up to the second floor.

Li An: "Okay, we are the only ones left, let's go."

The children hehehe followed the two teachers to the door of the room. Li Angang took out the room card and said, "Wait a minute."

No problem, he also checked the bathroom before going out.

Then the door opened with a beep.

He had tidied up the house when he went out, and he was so tired that he couldn't even remember.

How can a small room accommodate so many people? Fortunately, the children were quite quiet after entering.

"Don't stand, sit down." Li An and Chen Xuan asked the children to sit on the bed together.

But the children all had a tacit understanding and did not choose to sit on the bed. Wang Xiaohu sat down on the spot, followed by Liu Fengrui and Marco and also sat on the ground.

Before Chen Xuan could stop him, Xiaobei also sat on the ground happily. Just as he was about to sit in the car, Ji Yang pulled him back and said, "Linlin can't sit down now, go and sit on a chair."

Xiaoche: "Sister, please sit on the chair."

Li An: "What are you fighting for? Get up, otherwise I won't give you food. Why don't we have four stools, three sitting on the stools, and three sitting on the bed? Why haven't I seen you so clean in my study?"

Wang Xiaohu whispered: "Teacher Chen doesn't sleep in the study."

The children laughed.

Li An laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you can make it for me if I sleep in the shared study room. Okay, everyone, get up. It's cold today, hurry up."

Several children patted their butts and stood up. The three little boys all went to grab the stools. The three girls could only sit on the bed, but Xiaobei was already sitting on the ground, and Chen Xuan forced him to sit on the bed.

Turning around, Chen Xuan took out a large bag of food from the bag beside the bed. There were pastries, snacks, and braised cooked food. The children had been without snacks for three days. They were so greedy when they saw so many delicious foods. .

"Are there any spicy strips?!" Xiao Liu looked forward to it.

Chen Xuan smiled: "Yes."

Chen Xuan took out the spicy strips that Li An specially selected for the children. As soon as he opened them, the smell instantly filled the whole room.

"Wait." Li An asked everyone not to stretch out their hands yet.

Xiao Ji immediately understood and asked the children to wash their hands one by one.

After washing their hands and returning, the children happily enjoyed their supper.

Li An ate with the children. Watching the children eat, he felt a rare calmness in his heart.

Especially when watching Xiao Bei eat, Li An always feels like he is being healed. The child's expression is too serious when eating.

"Have you missed me since you haven't seen me in a few days?"

The children were stunned at first, and then responded with all kinds of "thinking".

Li An didn't know how he could ask such a question, but he suddenly asked as soon as the words came to his lips.

"Teacher, do you miss us?" A Liu asked while chewing the spicy strips.

At this question, the children all stopped and looked.

Facing a pair of vaguely expectant eyes, Li An smiled and said, "I don't miss you."

"cut!"

"Do not believe."

"Unscientific."

"Liar."

"Liar!"

"Teachers bully children." Xiao Ji smiled and took out a pamphlet from Xiao Bei's bag, "We will only kiss Teacher Chen from now on."

As he spoke, he turned around and handed the booklet in his hands to Chen Xuan, "Teacher Chen, this is the gift the teacher prepared for you."

The room suddenly became quiet, and the children all looked at Chen Xuan with bright eyes.

"what?"

Chen Xuan took it unexpectedly, "What is this?"

‘The First Giger Piano Summer Camp’?

When she turned the first page, she was even more surprised to see her name.

Is this your own booklet?

Turning another page, she was stunned. Under the seven note medals, there were seven cartoon smiling faces.

Every smiling face is so recognizable.

"The first one is Xiaobei."

Xiaobei: "Hehe!"

"The second one is Xiao Liu."

Xiao Liu touched his nose.

"The third one is Xiao Ji."

Ji Yang: "Hey."

"The fourth one must be Wang Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hahaha."

"The fifth one is Linlin."

Xiaoche scratched his head: "Yeah!"

"The sixth one is Marco."

Marco regretted: "I was still recognized."

"The last one is so ugly that it's unrecognizable."

Ang Lee: "~"

Children: "Hahahaha!"

A moment, "Thank you."

Chen Xuan looked at the seven medals and seven smiling faces in front of her, and she didn't know what to say.

"Thank you kids."

She wondered if the children, or Ang Lee, intended to use seven as a substitute for the result of a certain game.

None of this mattered anymore. What mattered was that she knew that this book would accompany her every day in the future, no matter where she went.
