Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1087 347. Nightingale and Carnival [Part ]

It's not often that you get to spend a Saturday like this, listening to beautiful piano music while chatting about piano with friends from all over the world.

Of course, there are also people who are completely immersed in the music.

There are experts who just watch the fun, and there are experts who just look at the details.

For professionals, this piece is just a skit.

Even in professional concerts, it is only performed as a bonus track and usually does not appear as a formal piece in the first or second half.

But this does not mean that it is a piece that anyone can play well.

As a typical Russian work, if it is played entirely with fingertips, the artistic conception would be a bit off.

The fluency of the transition between the fingertips and finger pads determines the final presentation of the piece.

Wu Fusheng: "It's only been two months, and Ang Lee has improved since the Xinghai Concert Hall performance."

Jin Jiaqi put down her phone and came over when she heard the voice. "What's wrong?"

Wu Fusheng smiled and sighed: "Nothing, just a little emotional. I always felt that he was more suitable for playing German and Austrian works. Oh, my hands."

"There's nothing wrong with your hand." Jin Jiaqi smiled and took Wu Fusheng's injured hand into her arms. "According to the doctor, it's recovering very quickly."

Wu Fusheng nodded, and the two of them snuggled together.

On the phone screen, Li An was seen sitting in front of a piano with black and white keys. His ten fingers seemed to be flying on the unclear keyboard.

moment.

"Whose Nightingale do you like better, this one or Tchaikovsky's?"

This question really stumped Wu Fusheng. All he could say was that Chai’s Nightingale was also excellent.

Jin Jiaqi: "Of all the piano works about birds, I like Glinka's piece best."

Wu Fusheng: "From the perspective of artistic image, this is also the most successful creation."

The use of birds as symbols of the soul is common in folklore around the world.

In world literature, it is not uncommon to see birds used as various literary symbols.

Especially in British literature, nightingales are a frequent subject in the works of many writers.

Nightingales are also often mentioned in European culture.

Due to the living characteristics of nightingales in their natural ecology, they are given symbolic meanings in works of art.

Nightingales are nocturnal and like to live in dense bushes.

Since few people have seen the true appearance of the nightingale, in literary works the nightingale usually appears with the night and the moon, and the writer expresses a romantic sadness through the nightingale.

When it comes to the field of music culture, composers use the clear and melodious voice of the nightingale as notes to symbolize a romantic spirit.

"The complexity of this type of work lies in the fact that it is not easy to portray the musical lines. If it is too heavy, it will appear tragic, and if it is too light, it will lack color."

GIG Hotel.

Boss X sat in the middle of the salon, looking at the big screen, and quietly explained to the university students around him who were preparing to participate in the competition, "So I don't recommend you to try this kind of work lightly."

Then a student asked, "What about arranging the tempo like Teacher Li did?"

Boss X turned to the student who asked the question and said, "You still don't understand. The musical image he portrayed has no essential relationship with the tempo. You only heard the connection between the notes and the transition between the sentences. But do you know why he handled it this way?"

The student shook his head.

Boss X: "This is the expression of music. He knows what he wants to play, so we can hear the static and dynamic changes now."

"The scenes in Russian works such as The Nightingale vary greatly, unlike German and Austrian works which always follow a rule. It can be daytime and nighttime at once, and the transition is very fast. This requires the performer to have the ability to play different types of scenes with multiple levels."

"For example, the composer asked for the opening theme to be played as Andante con grazia e legato. How do you play it? Xiaowei."

Xiaowei: “Beautifully and very coherently.”

Boss X: "I asked you how to play it?"

"Finger tips," Xiao Wei thought for a moment, "The tips of the fingers... they don't seem to be appropriate."

Yuan Xiaoyu: "If you use your fingertips to touch the keys, the advantage is that it is easier to produce bright tones, but it is not easy to achieve an absolutely coherent effect due to the limitation of the fingertip touch surface."

“Although the sound effect of touching the keys with the pads of the fingers is more consistent, the force is not as concentrated as that of touching the keys with the fingertips, and the sound is not easy to control.”

Boss X: "Then how does Ang Lee play it? How does your teacher Li play it?"

Xiaowei smiled bitterly: "It's too difficult to balance the fingertips and the pads of the fingers in this piece."

Boss X said happily: "I'll give you an idea. Next time we meet, give the tuition to Teacher Li and ask for his advice."

Everyone laughs.

Boss X continued, "So we always say we are training our finger skills, but what are we really training? Is it just to see who can play faster?"

"Playing fast is useless. Music is not a race."

"Use your brain more and think more about what kind of music you want to play. Only in this way can you gradually develop your performance ability."

"Repin wrote to his teacher Kramskoy saying this."

"My task is to portray the content, the faces and souls of the characters, the drama of life, the impressions of nature, the vitality and thinking, which are the main body of our research."

“So-called light and color are just tools. They should serve the conception. Color is not a colorful spot. It must express the mood and soul of the painting. It must be like the harmony in music, which can excite the audience and make them fascinated.”

Boss X paused and said, "For us, the colors and light here are the hard skills of piano."

The students couldn't help but nodded when they heard this, and then looked at Teacher Li Ang on the big screen, feeling even more respect in their hearts.

Another moment.

Boss X: "What do you think he is expressing?"

Some students said it was a mourning for love, while others said it was a yearning for freedom.

Boss X said nothing more.

The music suddenly changed and then came to the last variation. The notes continued to accelerate without leaving anyone time to breathe.

[Lonely Orchid in the Valley: The shortest part of the whole piece, the tonality returns to the main theme, and the theme can be presented with a decisive tone. It depends on how the performer handles it. You can compare the color changes of the third variation to feel this variation. ]

As if it had been edited long ago, as soon as Ang Lee entered the fourth accompaniment, Konggu Youlan posted her appreciation suggestions for this theme on the public screen, and also included a few comments on Ang Lee.

Following the appreciation prompts, everyone and the piano music rushed towards the final ending.

The music becomes faster and faster, and the melodic textures become more complex.

In this infinite acceleration, it suddenly seemed as if a fiery red flower bloomed in the gloomy sky covered with thorns.

A gorgeous cry rushed into the night sky from the pistil!

At this moment, everyone seemed to understand why this piece of work was called Nightingale.

It is this moment, so beautiful that it is dazzling, so beautiful that it takes your breath away, and so beautiful that it breaks your heart.

At this moment, gifts of all sizes also filled the screen of the live broadcast room.

[ Ruby: Crying]

【Autumn Leaves Wind F: Tears】

【 Friedrich: It reminds me of my first love. She won me over with this piece of music. 】

[Flowers blooming everywhere on the other side: Don’t think about it, brother, just light one]

[Biscuits: One for each]

[Draw your sword, Dad: accompany one]

【 Friedrich: But she is in my arms now】

[The other side of the river is full of flowers: I happen to not smoke, and my partner just ordered a takeaway for me]

[Draw your sword, Dad: I understand, it's me who deserves to die]

[You in the Clouds: Hahahaha what the hell, I’m crying like a dog! ]

[Alan: I’m crying. What should I do if I fall in love with Teacher Li? I’m a man.]

[Beibeibeibei: Absolutely not allowed! Not even men! ]

[We have to break up with homework today: we already have a teacher's wife! ]

[The wind is light and the clouds are clear: as moving as the nightingale's elegy, Mr. Li's performance is worthy of being a true artist. ]

【Half Fireworks: I want to share a story with you through the teacher's performance, Oscar Wilde's Nightingale and the Rose, this is how I feel at the moment. 】

Soon someone moved this story from the Internet to the public screen piece by piece.

The story is told to the readers with the nightingale as the protagonist.

The general idea is that in the cold deep winter, a young student urgently needs to find a red rose so that he can dance with his beloved girl.

When the nightingale heard the student crying because he could not get the rose, he thought the young student was the true lover he had been waiting for.

Therefore, in order to help the student fulfill his love wish, the nightingale chose to sacrifice itself in exchange for a rose.

At night, the nightingale inserted its breast into the thorns of the rose. As the blood flowed, the bloody red rose finally bloomed in the cold winter, but the nightingale fell forever in the lush woods and died with hope for love.

When the beloved girl accepted the rose and rejected the young student's love pursuit on the grounds of poverty, the student, driven by anger, threw the rose on the road and was crushed by the wheels.

The story's melody ending amplifies the tragedy infinitely.

Especially the rose that the nightingale exchanged for her life was ruthlessly thrown away on the road, which was really like a needle piercing her heart.

But some listeners also raised other ideas.

[Zhang Pangzi is not fat: Maybe, but I only hear the desire for freedom]

As Fatty Zhang spoke, the music froze the stage scene at the last moment with powerful and brilliant continuous crescendo chords.

“Wow————————————————”

Li Ang was seen standing in front of the piano, raising his hands and slightly raising his head. Under the warm yellow light, the upside-down "Lin" on the mask was still shining.

“Wow——————————————————”

Turning around, playing the piano and bowing, Li Ang stood up, took off the mask and gently left it on the keyboard.

Walking to the center of the stage and looking around, Ang Lee bowed twice again.

Suddenly, "No flowers?"

Ang Lee's questioning voice and expression immediately caused laughter, and the atmosphere on the scene became cheerful.

This sentence even broke the defense of the people in the live broadcast room. Everyone thought he was going to say something!

“The flowers are coming!!”

Brother Xiaohu was already prepared. He rushed onto the stage and stuffed a big bouquet of flowers into Li Ang's hands.

"Thank you, and thank you to all the audience who came today, and to all the friends in the live broadcast room, thank you everyone."

Lee Ang bowed for the third time and said, "Thank you everyone."

“Wow——————————————”

Just then, Lao Tang ran onto the stage and whispered something into Ang Lee's ear. Ang Lee was immediately shocked.

"Mr. Tang, please ask the parents to leave."

With that said, Ang Lee walked off the stage quickly.

Mu Xin directly handed over the hot phone. Li An took a closer look and saw that the number of people online was already 1,800.

When Ang Lee appeared in front of the camera at close range, the live broadcast room was naturally flooded with comments again.

Ang Lee was very moved by everyone's words of encouragement and support, but the problem now was that he had to thank his "sponsors" first.

Seeing several IDs that gave large amounts of rewards, Li An smiled bitterly. This person really owes a lot of favors...

"Thank you, everyone. This is my first time doing this and I don't really understand it. Wait a minute, Brother Yan, Brother Yan, come out to the Jiger Art Gallery. What are you doing? Isn't this a backstab?"

Li Ang's outrageous remarks immediately drew condemnation from the crowd in the live broadcast room.

[Bread eating toast: No, Mr. Li! ]

[Random Flowers and Trees: Retreat quickly! ]

[Straw Hat Army: BIG courage! ]

[Biscuit: I hit someone! I hit someone! ]

[You in the Clouds: Boss, let's calm down! ]

Who is Jige Art Gallery? He is the top brother on the list. He launched ten carnivals at the first try and there are three more after that. He is like a big brother in any live broadcast room!
[Giger Piano Art Gallery: Are you embarrassed? Who cares about you?]

As soon as the top brother on the list opened his mouth, the public screen immediately fell silent.

When Li An saw that Boss X was still there, he looked at Mu Xin and asked, "How do we get him to speak?"

Mu Xin: "It seems like we need to apply for a live broadcast from Brother Yan!"

Just then Haitao came closer and said, "Everyone, click on Brother Yan's profile picture and follow him, family members!"

Ang Lee: "Yes, yes, everyone, please pay attention to the Giger Art Gallery. Brother Yan, please apply for a live broadcast."

[Giger Piano Art Gallery: No application, what about Linlin? ]

Oh my god, whether it’s true or not, everyone in the live broadcast room remembered the name Linlin again.

Li An smiled bitterly: "She really has something to do today."

[Giger Piano Art Gallery: How is her preparation for the competition going? ]

Live broadcast room:?!
Li An: "It's OK, but there's too much homework."

【Giger Piano Art Gallery: You should also pay more attention. 】

Li An: "Yes, yes, Brother Yan, don't worry."

[Giger Piano Art Gallery: Down, let me know when you have decided to come to Yanjing]

As soon as the top brother on the list pulled the trigger, the live broadcast room became chaotic again.

Everyone asked Linlin what competition she was going to participate in.

[Captain Karajan: Xiao Xiaosai]

[You in the Clouds: Strong! ! ! ! ]

[ Ruby: Next month's Yanjing offline finals? Which group are you in? ]

[Captain Karajan: Yes, Group C]

[Draw the Sword, Daddy: Excuse me, is Linlin a student of Teacher Li? ]

[Beibeibeibeibei: Yes! ]

[Apple loves to eat mangosteen: Found it, the first player on the list of Xiao Xiao Competition Group C finalists is Che Lin]

moment.

Alan: So beautiful.

[Biscuit: So cute! ]

[You in the Clouds: I like it! ]

[Captain Karajan: No! ]

[Straw Hat Army: The little girl is amazing, she even won the gold medal in the Chengdu Cup professional youth group]

[I heard that you can win a prize by changing your name: Where can I see the photo! ? ]

Just like that, the information of the car was dug out.

Under the leadership of Mu Xin and senior sister Ji Yang, Xiaobei Marco and several other kids started a crazy Amway mode, only a certain Xiaohu kept protecting the market.

Looking at a certain cruel teacher, he has already started calling the "big brothers" to express his gratitude.

But the problem is that there are a few people he doesn’t know who they are.

Who could have thought that such a simple concert would develop into this.

The mother and daughter who came out of the barber shop also walked towards the subway station in the night.

"It's perfect for Auntie Sang!"

While calling "Auntie Sang", Xiaoche gently put his hand on Sang Ping's arm.

"I don't care, it just looks good!"

In the night, the voice of the junior high school girl is like the clear sound of a nightingale.

As for what image the nightingale portrayed by Ang Lee is, only Ang Lee himself knows.

It’s hard to say about this in the future, but at least it’s not that important at this moment.
