Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1098 358. The game should end soon! The anchors are so serious
“Remember Franz, the most beautiful harmony is often hidden where people cannot see.”

Looking at the continuous gift rewards on the phone screen, Xiaoche seemed to understand a little bit -

Why would anyone be willing to spend money to give tips to the anchor?

If she were an adult at this moment, she would also join the ranks of people giving rewards to the teacher.

wrong!

Even if the other person was not her teacher, she was willing to give a reward just for this last story.

She was willing to pay for the story.

Remember Franz, the most beautiful harmony is often hidden in places that people cannot see.

It's not just the last poetic sentence that makes Xiaoche get to know a completely new Czerny through this story.

"Grandpa, I'm going to do my homework!"

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"No, Grandpa."

Not daring to stay in the living room any longer, Xiaoche returned the phone to his grandfather and quickly went back to the room.

But she only did one problem in the math book. When Xiaoche was solving the second problem and wrote the number 200, 299 suddenly popped up in her mind again.

Hey!
Xiao Che couldn't help but stop writing, and his thoughts immediately ran away.

I still remember that the first time I had a face-to-face communication with the teacher was by asking Czerny’s questions. Now that I think about it, it seems like such a long time ago.

To date, Xiao Che has played up to 740. During this period, she has no idea how many Czerny pieces she has practiced. She herself can't even count the number of pieces.

Although this composer accompanied her almost every day, Xiaoche's impression of Czerny was only that he was a composer who wrote piano etudes for us.

Of course Xiaoche knew that Czerny was Beethoven's student and Liszt's teacher.

But Xiaoche did not feel Beethoven's perseverance or Liszt's splendor from Czerny's works.

In the music history book given by my teacher, there are only a few sentences about Czerny, which only emphasizes Czerny's promotion of piano teaching in the 19th century, but there are no other works except a few sets of etudes.

It's as if Czerny was just a composer who wrote etudes.

He is very serious, emotionally stable, and never smiles, just like the portrait of Czerny in the book, wearing a pair of glasses and looking like an old pedant.

This was Xiaoche’s entire impression of Czerny before.

But the teacher's story completely overturned the image of Czerny in her mind.

Czerny actually had a pet, a parrot.

Although the parrot disrupted the class, Czerny was not angry and even used candy to coax the parrot to behave well.

When the teacher talked about this, the picture that Xiaoche imagined was Czerny coaxing the parrot helplessly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

This feeling was in stark contrast to her previous impression of Czerny!

Even though Czerny lost a wealthy student because of the parrot's talkativeness, Czerny did not show any dissatisfaction with the parrot.

Carry it wherever you go.

At this moment, Xiaoche's mind still emerged the scene of Czerny passing by the door of St. Stephen's Cathedral, crossing Grapevine Lane, and returning to the tailor shop downstairs, with the parrot jumping back and forth on Czerny's shoulders.

Xiaoche didn't know where these were, but for the first time, she had the urge to visit these places.

Perhaps this is why Wang Xiaohu insisted on the idea of ​​studying abroad for college.

Xiaoche was also curious about the kind of environment in which Czerny wrote such a series of works.

In the winter there is a stove, an emerald green parrot for company, and the late-night visitor, the young Liszt.

Perhaps because he was worried that Master Liszt would get cold, Czerny added more firewood to the stove.
Teacher-student night talk, when Czerny finally said that sentence -

“Remember Franz, the most beautiful harmony is often hidden where people cannot see.”

Thinking back on this sentence now, Xiaoche feels that Czerny has come alive again. He is no longer the old-fashioned composer who could only write etudes.

She didn't know how to describe the changes that Czerny had brought about in her heart. She only knew that Czerny would definitely be able to write colorful works.

Or perhaps Czerny's works were colorful in themselves, but they were hidden in places she couldn't see.

Just like the reflected flame in the Czerny lens, isn’t that dancing flame like a musical note the most vivid portrayal?

In an instant, Xiaoche seemed to understand why the teacher liked Czerny so much and liked to practice Czerny over and over again.

Also practice using transposition!
Xiaoche was a little excited, and his right hand holding the pen was trembling slightly, as if he couldn't wait to open 740 again and explore the mystery inside.

For a moment, even the Chopin Nocturnes she had studied in the past two days pale in comparison to Czerny 740.

"I really want to practice piano."

Under the desk lamp, the girl murmured and drew a '740' with the pen in her hand.

Even her anticipation for the competition became stronger. After the competition, she could practice 740 without any burden.

Happy.
-
The good news is that today’s live broadcast effect has far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

In the lobby on the first floor of Piano Classroom No. 4, a group of teachers sat around the water bar to watch the live broadcast replay of tonight.

In the first half, everyone's expressions, including Lao Tang's, were not very natural.

But by the second half of the review, it was clear that everyone had found the feeling.

After all, they have all experienced a lot of stage performances, so they don’t need to practice finding the camera deliberately.

"I think you could interact a little more."

Xiaoyun and Xu Li, as audience members, also put forward some suggestions beyond their professional expertise.

"The part where Ah Xin and Lao Tang were arguing was really interesting, and it felt like the real thing."

Mu Xin: “Hahaha!”

Lao Tang: “We really had a fight over this issue!”

Haitao: "Are you two continuing our discussion from last time?"

Lao Tang: "Just that day, I have always believed that Czerny's works cannot be practiced completely as etudes, there are so many good sentences in them."

Lao Tang looked at Mu Xin, but Mu Xin did not respond. Instead, he looked at Li An, "Boss, where did you get this story from?"

At this point, everyone looked at Li An. Just now, many people in the live broadcast room had also asked this question.

Someone searched the Internet directly, but found no record of the story between Czerny and the parrot.

But someone found documents showing that Czerny did live and teach in Grapevine Lane in Vienna.

Others point out that in 19th century Europe, Asian parrots were indeed exotic pets given to each other by aristocrats as a symbol of friendship.

So even if you say that Ang Lee's story is made up, the content in the story can be traced back to its source, including Liszt's visit to this generation on a snowy night. As a teenager, Liszt did not follow the beaten path and often visited his teacher by climbing through the window.

But there is really no record of this story on the Internet.

Seeing that Li Ang just smiled and didn't say anything, everyone seemed to realize something.

No way! This Lao Tang couldn't accept it. Isn't this academic fraud? "It can't be made up."

Mu Xin: "Get out of here, you're talking about academic fraud, that's ridiculous, how can this be related to academics? Now, you can make one for me and see."

Lao Tang curled his lips: "That's not what I meant."

Haitao: "It has to be my brother."

After a while, Li An smiled and said, "I can't remember clearly. I seem to have seen such a story somewhere. I can't remember clearly. It doesn't matter. Let's discuss it later. Let's talk about business first."

After a pause, "Sister Xu and I have discussed it. Our holidays and rest periods will remain the same, but everyone's salary will be adjusted. Sister Xu has planned and will announce it at the meeting on Monday." There was silence for a moment.

Haitao: "It's not a downward adjustment."

Mu Xin: "Is it so sudden?"

Lao Tang: “It was a bit sudden.”

Ang Lee: "Now it's like working overtime on Wednesday and Saturday nights in disguise. The tasks and workload during the week are also bigger and more complicated than before. I know everyone is working very hard recently."

Lao Tang: “Hmm.”

Li An: "Don't complain, brothers should settle accounts clearly. I brought everyone together to do a good job in piano education. Conversely, piano classroom No. 4 will never keep idle people. I said this when we had dinner on the first day. Work is work."

After a pause, he said, "This is the current situation. We don't have professional operations, professional anchors, or professional field control. We haven't started making short videos yet. Lao Tang can do the copywriting, editing, and photography, but he's just one person. We can't rely on him alone. When we really get to the stage of selling courses, our staff will definitely not be enough. We will definitely have to recruit new professional positions, but that's for the future."

"At present, we can barely get live streaming started with so few people, so my idea is that we should do it first, and everyone can accumulate and learn, and take one step at a time. Sister Xu and Sister Yun are also doing research. Our main task at present is to make the content good first."

Lao Tang: "Let me say this. We have enough manpower at the moment. As long as we have content to produce, things like explaining techniques and making short videos of students in class are very simple. The venue and equipment are all ready. It's just a matter of post-editing. Let's all work hard together. I have confidence in our Sigang."

Haitao: "Let me say this, I'm actually already learning video editing. I studied Mr. Huang's video account and the videos edited by Chong Ge."

No one expected that Haitao, who usually seemed so lazy, would have such thoughts.

Li An also smiled at this.

Haitao coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Professionally, this is about as far as I can go."

Mu Xin: “This is bullshit.”

Hai Tao waved his hand to interrupt: "Sister Xin, listen to me, I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and it will be the same no matter how much I practice."

"Besides, I really don't want to take time out to study my major like you do. My major is enough for me here. If there is any large-scale performance, I can put on a show. You guys will be enough for the rest."

"We are the ones who guarantee the lower limit. The upper limit has nothing to do with me."

"I actually always like to try new things. When I was practicing a piece of music at school, the teacher asked me to practice the same piece of music with Ma Yu. I didn't want to do it. The teacher didn't understand me and said that I was afraid that I couldn't practice better than Ma Yu."

Haitao said to Li An, "Brother, you know me. I just don't want to practice the things you have practiced. There are more than 30 Beethoven sonatas. I just need to practice a few to know what's going on. I just want to practice something new, something I haven't practiced before."

Ang Lee: "Do you know what Haitao played during his graduation?"

Mu Xin: “What?”

Ang Lee: "The first etude from Bartok's Opus 18."

Lao Tang: “I’ll go!”

Hai Tao laughed awkwardly: "It's just a tough fight."

Lao Tang: "I touched this piece a little bit in my junior year and then threw it away. It was too laborious."

Haitao: "I just wanted to give it a try, and I didn't expect that I would be able to do it in the end. So besides taking classes, I really wanted to find something else to try. So I agreed that I would try to help Chong Ge share some of the editing work as soon as possible. Maybe I will surpass Chong Ge in a while."

Mu Xin: "Okay! You learn editing, I'll study photography, and we'll try to earn his salary!"

Haitao stood up and high-fived Mu Xin, "It's settled!"

Xiaoyun: "If that's the case, I actually did some copywriting work for a while."

Lao Tang smiled bitterly: "You guys have taken all my work, what should I do?"

Mu Xinle: "You can just do your old job then. Ahem, our 299 course only has the last three days of promotion! It will return to the original price after three days! If you buy the course now, you will also get a set of high-definition photos of Teacher Tang worth yuan!"

Hahahahaha——

Lao Tang: "So my photo is only worth 8.8 yuan?"

Mu Xin: "Then how much do you want?"

Lao Tang: "At least 9.9 yuan."

Mu Xin: "That's all you want."

Hahahahaha——

Everyone burst into laughter again, and Ang Lee laughed too. But looking at the way the two of them were acting, why did he feel like something was wrong?

He had this feeling during the live broadcast today.

But on second thought, this shouldn't be the case. Mu Xin and Xue Li are completely different types.

Lao Tang and Mu Xin? I must be overthinking it.

Shaking his head, Li An looked at his phone. Lao Zhao had sent him a message five minutes ago.

"Let's not talk too much about that. Let's all work hard together," Li An said. "No one knows what this live broadcast room will look like in the future. If it's done well, everyone will be happy and we can make money together."

"If we don't succeed in the end, we will have tried our best to catch the trend. It doesn't matter. Even if we only do offline business, with you guys here, I have the confidence to become the largest piano training school in Chengdu."

"It's Czerny again on Saturday. This time we'll plan the time and design the content. We'll finalize the plan on Friday morning. I won't be here tomorrow morning."

"Water instead of wine, cheers."

Li An raised the teacup in his hand, and everyone followed suit and picked up the cups beside them.

"cheers!"

"To Czerny!"

"To the parrot!"

"So we're going to make an introduction video to octaves and system piano tomorrow?"

"Get it done."

“Who speaks octave?”

"Let Ah Xin speak. Ah Xin's hands are small, so she will be more convincing when speaking in octaves."

"Then I will teach you about the introduction to the piano system. I would like to divide it into three sessions."

"."

"."
-
Li An, Xu Li and Xiao Yun left first. Hai Tao, Lao Tang and Mu Xin said they were waiting for Zhang Miao to come to the store and would go out to eat something together later.

It's great to be young.

Although Li An is not much older than the others, he already has the feeling of being married with children.

"Bye Sister Yun, bye Sister Xu."

After bidding farewell to his two sisters, Li An got in the car and called his father.

The windows will be installed at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ang Lee was looking forward to it very much, as there were floor-to-ceiling windows on both the north and south sides. After all, he had never lived in a house like this in his life.

When I was drinking milk with Xiaoche in the evening, Xiaoche asked himself when the next 740 would pop up.

"how?"

"Teacher, I'll just ask."

"I'll definitely wait until the competition is over."

"I knew it~"

"What's that expression? Wait a minute, did you secretly watch the live broadcast tonight?"

Old Li at the side was upset when he heard this, "What do you mean by peeking? I let her watch, so what?"

Li An: "Ah, okay, okay."
