Chapter 1078 338. Soloist’s Thoughts! Live Concert?

During dinner, Ang Lee and Yan Zi had a video conference.

The video goes directly to the family dinner at Lao Li’s retirement ceremony.

It was organized by Li Jun and Li Fu and it was a grand occasion.

The large private room was filled with two tables of relatives.

Old Li had never experienced such a grand occasion in his life, let alone speaking in public.

What are you talking about? You're just retired. If it were Mr. Li, he would rather set up two tables at the farm instead of spending the money.

Since he couldn't say anything, Lao Li decided to drink more with everyone.

As a result, he was not allowed to drink more.

"When will Third Father leave for Rongcheng again?"

"Wednesday afternoon?"

"And leave by plane."

"By train."

"The train is so troublesome, why don't you just take the plane?"

"I won't sit on that lousy one anymore. It's very scary."

"You'll be here for half a year this time. Let Anzi make arrangements for you."

"Hey, I'm so busy arranging things, I can't stay here any longer."

Everyone laughs.

They are all family, so Lao Li has nothing to lie about. "If there was no one to watch over his renovation, I wouldn't want to make this trip. Going would just cause trouble for others."

Li Fu: "Hey, Third Dad, what you said is wrong. Don't keep nagging you and Third Mom to stay there for a while. When Third Mom is free, you can move over there."

Old Li smiled and sighed: "Well, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

Li Hua raised his glass: "Come, let's toast to Third Father and Third Mother. They have been really taking care of the family for so many years."

Everyone raised their glasses in agreement, which made Lao Li feel uncomfortable again.

Xiaoyan held a drink in one hand and used her mobile phone to record this moment.

send!
Li Hua put down his glass and said, "What's the matter with Anzi's wedding? We need to find a venue in advance."

Speaking of Teacher Li’s wedding, the private room became lively again.
-
Ok, Ok.

Yun attended his father's retirement ceremony. Li An replied to Xiaoyan's message and then went to the study.

Teacher Wei gave him an ultimatum today that he must take down Bei Si within half a month.

In fact, Ang Lee has already roughly mastered the first and second movements, although he has not touched the third movement yet. However, as long as he concentrates, it will only take two or three days.

In terms of difficulty and length, Beethoven's Fourth Concerto is far inferior to Brahms' Second Concerto.

But if we want to establish a standard.

For example, to play out the characteristics of this piece is no longer an easy task.

A considerable number of composers, when they reach a certain age, will no longer pay much attention to the music of anyone other than their own.

Mr. Mo and Mr. Bei are the representatives among this group of composers.

Unless they can discover some new musical ideas and creativity, or some texture that they can use for themselves.

For example, Mr. Mo's study of Bach and Mr. Beethoven's use of Handel.

However, as early as around 1810, Bei had stopped accepting the early loose musical forms of the early nineteenth century, but his solution was to revive the musical practice of Moses.

Compared with his earlier imitation exercises, the Fourth Piano Concerto contains very little direct imitation of Mr. Mo, but the construction principles are completely Mo-style.

Even more fluent in presentation.

The double exposition section of the first three concertos was abandoned in favor of Mr. Mo’s second presentation of the musical material.

This is where the characteristic of this piece of music comes in - the second presentation of the musical material.

In Lee's opinion, although Beethoven adopted Mozart's structure in this piece, in order to truly present it in the second degree, it was necessary to create greater contradictions than Mozart's musical style.

How to further amplify the conflict?
Ang Lee believes that it is still necessary to make a contrast between static and dynamic, and the drama of music is based on the focus orientation of strength and weakness in an instant.

It was like lightning in one second and calm in the next.

When one appears before the other at the same time, a strong effect will naturally appear.

This is Ang Lee’s view on the tone of this piece and the general direction of its performance.

Of course, it’s a concerto, and there’s an orchestra and a conductor.

Or the conductor is the orchestra.

If the conductor does not think this is reasonable at that time, the orchestra will not be able to cooperate with Ang Lee in presenting his inner thoughts on the stage according to his ideas.

For example, when the orchestra played a contemplative passage, he would express the theme passionately.

From Ang Lee's perspective, this kind of movement and stillness is present in almost every corner of this work.

But if the conductor has other ideas, or even ideas that are completely opposite to his, then Ang Lee can only communicate and discuss with the conductor further at that time.

Perhaps the bearded conductor from Rotterdam will be able to give him some different interpretations and inspirations.

Just like the last interview question of Teacher Xiaomi, the conductor and the soloist cannot always keep in step with each other. Once there is a disagreement, the first thing to do is to communicate actively.

But before that, what he had to do was to practice this piece according to his own ideas.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The continuous and intensive heavy keystrokes made the whole room seem to tremble.

In the next room, the car was moving faster and faster to follow the music.

Xiaoche has something to say about doing homework while listening to music.

Listening to Brahms is more suitable for writing essays, as it can inspire people to be inspired.

Listening to Beethoven is more suitable for doing math homework.

The excitement of Bayesian musical phrases would make her feel that every mathematical theorem bloomed with the brilliance of human wisdom at that moment.

What is happiness?
Happiness is that Wang Xiaohu needs to wear headphones when listening to music while doing homework, but Xiaoche doesn’t need to.

Live original sound.

However, happiness is not always available. It has been quite a while since Xiaoche heard his teacher practicing the piano like this while doing homework.

Doing homework is like practicing the piano. As long as you focus enough, two hours will pass in the blink of an eye.

Just two hours later, Li An had happily finished tonight's practice, while Xiao Che estimated that it would take another hour and a half to finish his weekend homework.

"Then go write it quickly."

The teacher and the student chatted in the living room for a while while drinking a pot of milk, and then Xiaoche went back to the cabin to continue doing his homework.

Ang Lee also returned to his study and opened Meng Anhua's piano piece to continue his homework. Meng Anhua's work will be released in the first half of April, so he might as well use the next half month to finish this piece as well.
-
The next morning, Li An drove the car to the school gate and turned around to go to the store.

At a quarter past seven, the majestic music of Beethoven began to be heard in the lobby on the first floor of Sigang.

Li An made an appointment with Lao Zhao to meet at 2201: :, so he could use the time before the meeting to practice the piano.

At exactly eight o'clock, Mu Xin and Lao Tang walked into the store carrying breakfast.

When they turned the corner, they vaguely heard the sound of a piano.

"The second movement."

The two of them came behind Li Ang while eating pancakes, and Mu Xin also recorded a short video.

A few minutes later, Xiaoyun, Xu Li and Haitao arrived one after another.

Haitao was the last one to arrive. As soon as he entered the room, he saw everyone gathered around the piano.

"Oh, the sun is rising from the west."

Hai Tao walked over cheerfully, "Is this Bei Er or Bei San?"

Mu Xin: “Guess.”

Haitao: "Bei Er."

Lao Tang: “Guess again.”

Hai Tao: "That's Bei San, no, this is not Bei San."

At this moment, Li An put his hands away, stood up and closed the piano, "Don't guess, deduct fifty."

Mu Xin laughed.

"It's Bei Er!" Haitao gave a firm answer.

Li An turned his head and said speechlessly: "Can you use some of the energy you spend on dating to listen to music? After all, I am a professional instructor in Piano Classroom No. 4. If this gets out, people will laugh at me."

Hai Tao: "That's Bei Si. It's definitely not Bei Yi or Bei Wu."

Li An was too lazy to respond, "Now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting."
-
The new week starts with a regular meeting. Summarize first, then give feedback.

Pass students' growth manuals to each other.

It takes twenty minutes to complete one set.

No one had any objections.

Enter the work task arrangement for this week.

This Thursday the school will hold its first student performance concert.

"Who will open the show?" Ang Lee looked around.

Mu Xin raised his hand: "I'll go this way, Min Haohao."

Li An had an impression, "Is it the kid who played Kulau?"

Mu Xin: “Yes.”

Ang Lee: "Okay, Sister Yun, let's start with Min Haohao, Sonata in A major, Op. 59 No. 1, next one."

Lao Tang: "Wu Xinyu, come in February."

Hai Tao: "Then I'll sing one too, Li Mu Morning, Kangding Love Song."

Soon Xiaoyun listed the songs for the first half. Lao Tang asked Li An, "What about you? Che Lin won't play any songs."

"She won't go on, and Xiaohu can forget about it too," Li An looked at Xu Li, "This stage doesn't mean anything to him."

Xu Li nodded, "Don't worry about him."

Ang Lee: "Song Muzi, Nikolayev Etudes."

Lee Ang added, "Hu Kai, Hu Dabao, Scottish Dance in G major."

Hai Tao: "Four-hand piano duet?"

Li An: "Zuozou, this is the father and the son."

Huh? Everyone is confused!

Li An smiled and explained, "This student's parent is very interesting. His child was very young at the time, and he was worried that the child would not know how to practice when he returned home, so he learned with the child, and ended up learning it himself."

Lao Tang: "This is quite interesting. It's better to learn it before the son does."

Li An: "You know what, this guy can easily pass the Level 3 exam now."

Mu Xin: “Great.”

Li An: "Really, we check in three times a week. Sometimes the kids don't practice, so he posts what he practiced."

Haitao: "Tsk tsk, you have to persevere."

Xu Li: "How about asking this parent to perform a song?"

Lao Tang: "I was just about to say, how great it is, let the parents of the children in the audience see it too."

Li An thought for a moment and said, "That's right."

Mu Xin: "It's a good opportunity to have another show for adults, otherwise it would be a bit awkward for Uncle Gao to be alone."

Lee Ang: "Okay, I'll ask. Uncle Gao plays the minuet."

Lao Tang: "Well, I guess I can play The Hawthorn Tree at the show next month."

Xiaoyun: "What about the father and son show?"

Ang Lee: "Stay. Let Uncle Gao play first in the second half. After he finishes playing, the father and son will come on stage. We'll continue rehearsing. I'll ask the parents when I come back. If he has no problem, let him come back as a guest to close the show."

Lao Tang: “This is good.”

Then everyone quickly arranged the repertoire for the second half.

Xiaoyun: "Not counting the encore, there are fourteen songs in total, seven for the first and second performances. Do you have any additions?"

Everyone agreed, and Lao Tang suddenly said, "I think we should use this concert as an opportunity to start the live broadcast."

As soon as Lao Tang finished speaking, everyone became interested and looked forward to it.

Li An: "Is it easy?"

Lao Tang: "It's so simple. A mobile phone holder is enough."

Ang Lee: "Okay, let's broadcast it for fun. It doesn't matter if anyone sees it or not."

Xiaoyun: "Boss, you can mobilize your resources."

Li An: "I don't have any resources, just these friends in the circle."

Xiaoyun: "These are all high-quality resources."

Mu Xin: "Go to your circle of friends, and give a preview on Weibo, Bilibili, and Douyin. You have almost 2,000 fans online."

Li An: “So many?”

Everyone wondered, is this a lot?

Li An: "I haven't calculated it myself, you are still paying attention to me."

Mu Xin laughed, "Can't I be your fan?"

Li Anle: "Really? I can tell at a glance that they are fake fans."

Mu Xin felt wronged: "I bought the Brahms special at the beginning of the year at the Canton Fair, it cost 380!!"

Li An was confused: "Did you buy a ticket for that show?"

Lao Tang took over the conversation: "She bought it before she came to Chengdu, and planned to go and see it after New Year's Day. Now that she came to Chengdu, she happened to catch the store opening, so she couldn't leave and didn't go."

Li An sighed: "Hey, tell me, oh my, this is really true."

Mu Xin: "Boss, you need to make up for my trauma."

Li An: "Well, Haitao will give you the extra fifty next month."

Haitao: "That's awesome! I'm also your fan!"

Ang Lee: "What kind of fan are you? Have you ever bought a ticket for me?"

Everyone laughs.

Hai Tao: "I will definitely buy it next time! I will buy two more!"

Li An: "You have a good plan. You will take my sister out for some fun after my concert."

Haitao chuckled and said, "It's a good opportunity to ask for leave in advance."

Li An: "Don't you want Zhang Miao to go with you? And you even asked for leave in advance."

Hai Tao: "Oh, let's talk about it later if we don't want to go. I'll report it in advance."

Li An: "I don't care whether Zhang Miao goes or not, you have to buy the ticket in advance."

Hai Tao patted his chest and said, "I guarantee it! And I will be the top brother in our live broadcast room for the first month."

Li An: "Everyone has heard that we have a sponsor."

Mu Xin: "Then should we make our first concert more formal?"

Xu Li and Lao Tang said in unison: "No need."

Lao Tang: "Sister Xu said."

Xu Li: "The focus of this event is not live streaming."

Lao Tang: "That's what I mean. We should follow the concert process we have planned. It is an experiment anyway. We can summarize the feedback and interaction from online audiences and consider whether we can add some more links for the next concert."

Xiaoyun: "Sorry to interrupt you teachers, will we sell courses in the future?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally all eyes were focused on Li Ang's face.

After a moment, Li An looked at Lao Tang.

Lao Tang: "As long as you nod, the matter is half done."

Li An nodded: "Let's do it, but we have to think about this matter carefully."

After a pause, he said, "Okay, Lao Tang, you can tell everyone about selling courses first. I have to go. The workers are coming soon."

At 9:10, Ang Lee left the meeting room first.

Everyone continued to discuss the matter, and it was true that only Lao Tang had experience in this matter.

Haitao: "Brother Chong, do we need to accumulate some fans first?"

Mu Xin: "For example, record some short videos of Sigang's daily life? Clips of him teaching his children?"

Lao Tang: “Well, how should I put it?”

Mu Xin: "Emma, just say it directly! Stop wasting time!"
