Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1130 390. Playing the game with my mother []

numb.

Novak was numb, no, he was in love, a great love, like the love for nature.

Is this the girl who played Mozart just now?

What a free note.

The sound of the piano in his ears at this moment made Novak feel as if he was back in the competitions he had participated in during his youth.

At that time, he was also a frequent participant in various international competitions.

Although he is very famous now, he never defeated any Chinese players of the same age in any competition when he was a teenager.

Those Chinese players who once beat him are just like Player No. 09, who has the ability to control more than two playing styles at a young age.

If you don't like it, you don't like it; if you like it, you like it.

He didn't like the Mozart that Sun Wenjun just played, but he liked the waltz that Sun Wenjun played.

To Novak, each set of syncopated notes sounded like a young dancer tap dancing on the cliff of black and white keys, completely free from the constraints of gravity.

Who wouldn’t like a waltz like this?
-
He Jiaming just doesn't like it.

In the backstage lounge, He Jiaming showed an expression completely opposite to Xiao Che's after hearing the Waltz in A flat major played by Sun Wenjun.

Xiao Che listened attentively, but He Jiaming could no longer focus on the big screen.

He really wanted to ask Che Lin what she thought of Sun Wenjun's waltz, but he had to wait until Sun Wenjun finished playing it.

Let’s have something to drink first, he went to the table and got two bottles of water.

When Sun Wenjun on the big screen finished playing the waltz, he handed over the water in his left hand.

"Thank you." Xiaoche took it.

He Jiaming asked quietly, "What do you think of her waltz?"

The car replied quietly: "Very good."

He Jiaming curled his lips: "I will play this song too."

Xiaoche gave a thumbs up and said, "This song is very difficult."

He Jiaming suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's okay, just so-so, you can listen to my playing later, my approach is different from hers"

Xiaoche: "Looking forward to it."

He Jiaming: "Hey, what waltz are you playing?"

Xiaoche: "Puppy."

He Jiaming was confused: "No way."

Xiaoche: "What's the matter? Is it too easy?"

That's not what I meant. He Jiaming just felt that with Che Lin's level, she could have chosen a waltz that was more suitable for showcasing her skills, such as Opus 42, or Opus 18, which would be more suitable for the competition than Xiao Gou.

Well, he just thought Puppy Waltz was too easy for this competition.

But it’s up to Che Lin to choose the song she wants to sing. “It’s not easy either.”

As He Jiaming said this, he was very curious about what other tracks Xiaoche had chosen. After getting the complete answer, he was also numb.

According to the idea of ​​his teacher in selecting the music for him, Che Lin's set of music might seem a bit simple even if it were put in Group B, except for the last piece of Bach. But is the speed of that Bach piece really suitable for being included in the virtuoso repertoire?

I think Teacher Li must have some special ideas.

As Sun Wenjun began to play Mazurka, He Jiaming's attention gradually returned to the big screen.

As the designated performance piece for Group C, each of the fourteen contestants present will perform this piece on stage.

It is difficult to refer to each other for the self-selected songs, but the designated songs are the frontal bayonet fight that no one can avoid.

Judging from the expressions of some of the players in the locker room at this moment, it seemed that Sun Wenjun's bayonet had pierced their hearts half an inch again.
-
"Chopin's Mazurka in A minor, Opus 17, No. 4."

Accompanied by the bleak and gloomy melody, Lao Tang continued to explain: "Let's talk about the Mazurka genre first."

"It is a kind of Polish folk dance music, with fast and slow tempo, strong and weak dynamics, and variable accent positions. The structure is basically a symmetrical three-part dance with a simple texture. When I was studying Chopin, my teacher inserted two pieces of music into my lessons, including this one, so that I could find the feeling of Polish folk music. I don't know your specific situation, but Mazurka is very important to Chopin."

[Ruby: My teacher never assigned me any assignments. I practiced on my own.]

【Mangosteen loves to eat apples: Me too. 】

Lao Tang: "He probably wrote more than fifty Mazurkas in his lifetime."

Mu Xin: “Fifty-eight.”

Lao Tang: "No. 58, this piece was dedicated by Chopin to a lady at that time. It used Jewish music he heard in a small village, so this piece was also titled The Little Jew. It is a Mazurka with a strong folk style. In fact, this piece already had a bit of commercial flavor at that time."

"Chopin was only fourteen at the time."

[Zhang Pangzi is not fat: When Chopin played The Little Jew, a Jewish cowherd was willing to pay at least ten florins to let him play at a Jewish wedding.]

[Autumn Leaf Wind F: Absolutely by Chopin, this piece was written when he was fourteen years old]

[Zhang Pangzi Bu Pang: This made Chopin want to start on this kind of musical path right away. Who knows? Maybe he would make a living by performing this kind of commercial music in the future. Excerpted from Chopin's Life and Times]

[You in the cloud: Awesome. ]

Lao Tang: "Mazurka connects Chopin's life. Some friends may think that this genre sounds worse than practicing nocturne and barcarolle, but I suggest you listen to it patiently, it is very interesting."

"Thank you for the reward, Brother Huang Jinye."

After that, Lao Tang stopped speaking and left the discussion to the public screen. He also quietly appreciated Sun Wenjun's Mazurka.

From Lao Tang's perspective, he thinks Sun Wenjun could definitely come out a little more, or even a little more.

Especially after listening to Sun Wenjun's waltz, he could feel that this young contestant had inner expression.

Maybe because he has been with Ang Lee for a long time, Lao Tang has begun to advocate giving children more space to express themselves.

You should know that when participating in the Xinhai Cup, Lao Tang still adhered to the performance principle that the teacher's words were above all else.

Lao Tang played the piece just as the teacher told him to.

Even if he has different ideas from the teacher, Lao Tang will always think that the teacher is right at the first moment.

Looking back now, those subconscious thoughts were actually formed over time.

From the beginning of his preparation for the primary school entrance exam, Lao Tang strictly followed the teacher's instructions, knowing how to play the piano here and how to play the piano there.

Lao Tang has been an obedient child since he was young. He listened to his parents at home, his class teacher at school, and teacher Huang in the piano room.

Over time, the words of adults naturally became his first principle.

Including the selection of songs for the Lao Tang Xin Hai Cup, they were all decided for him by Teacher Huang.

In fact, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, Lao Tang often had his own ideas about some music, but his teacher always told him: First establish one, and then you can add as many zeros as you want on it.

Looking back now, even if Lao Tang realized something, it was too late, because his musical ideas had become a fixed format: one.

No matter how many zeros he wants to add at the end, he still can't get around the zero.

So looking at Sun Wenjun at this moment, looking at this child who should have had similar experiences as he did in his childhood, he suddenly felt that Xiaoche was happy.

Because of Ang Lee, there are choices for small cars.

Those kids who study hard in the piano room of the affiliated middle school really have no choice. If they don't listen to their teacher, they may not even be able to enter the door of the affiliated primary school or middle school.

Don’t tell me how talented you are. Places like the attached middle school and primary school are not short of talented people.

【Ruby: Winter wind! 】

[You in the Clouds: Winter Wind Etude! ]

[The plane flies into the sky: Awesome!!!]

After playing the Mazurka, Sun Wenjun played a virtuoso piece, Chopin's Winter Wind Etude.

The agility of the key touch and the surging momentum are amazing.

The excited reactions of the people in the live broadcast room seemed very normal to Lao Tang. How many of these people could pull down Dong Feng?
How many people can play it well?

Chopin's etudes are beautiful, moving and gorgeous, and are the dream pieces of countless piano learners.

The reason why it is called a dream song is because it is so difficult.

Some people who are admitted to the piano department of a music college may not be able to finish practicing both volumes of Xiao in their entire lifetime.

Some people, like Lao Tang himself, had finished playing all 24 pieces in the two volumes before they were fifteen years old.

Some people, such as Wu Fusheng, completed it at the age of twelve.

Sun Wenjun's Winter Wind reminded Lao Tang of Wu Fusheng back then. At that time, Wu Fusheng was the only one in the entire affiliated high school who could play Winter Wind at this speed and the music could be so clear.

This made Lao Tang very envious at the time.

Listening to Sun Wenjun again now, Lao Tang wondered whether the other young contestants in the backstage were envious of Sun Wenjun on the stage just as he envied Wu Fusheng back then.

If there really were children who were envious, Lao Tang wouldn't know what to say to them. He didn't have the heart to tell them that some things could not be obtained by envy.

"Well played."

After receiving Haitao's praise, Lao Tang finally spoke again.

“Better than me.”

As soon as Lao Tang finished speaking, the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.

If someone else said this, it might seem like they were trying to flatter themselves, but everyone has heard of Teacher Tang's level!

As Sun Wenjun completed the final sprint phrase, the sharp sound stream suddenly dissipated above the stage like a cold wind.

The stage fell into a brief silence.

"You play better than me." Mu Xin was the first to applaud. "Player No. 09 is amazing."

Before anyone in the live broadcast room could react, Lao Tang said jokingly, "It's purely because you have small hands!"

"Wow————"

At the same time, warm applause broke out in the parents' viewing area in the backcourt, and the applause from Li Ang's area was the loudest.

"Wow—"

The applause during the contestants' rest period was relatively subdued, with only Xiaoche clapping his hands desperately.

Although He Jiaming was also clapping, his expression looked a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Sun Wenjun bowing on the stage, He Jiaming thought that he had really met his match today!
Because his last optional virtuoso piece was also Winter Wind!

Xiaoche: “She’s great.”

He Jiaming: "Ahem, I chose Winter Wind too."

Xiaoche: “Then you are great too.”

He Jiaming showed a skeptical expression: "You haven't even heard me play it."

Xiao Che turned around and said, "The teacher said you play very well."

He Jiaming's expression changed in an instant: "Huh? Really?"

Xiaoche gave me a thumbs up again: "The teacher gave me a thumbs up at that time and said that you are very! Strong!"

He Jiaming felt that he was completely fine again!
"I will work hard."

It's time to prove yourself!
He Jiaming stood up and took a box of biscuits from the seat.
-
Sun Wenjun bowed and left the stage, and the bigwigs on the judges' panel all started writing.

Chen Wenchang scored 9.8.

Feng Hanlin scored 10 points.

Zhao Weilin scored 9.7.

The other judges also put down their pens one after another.

Sun Wenjun’s points are indeed easy to win, even if it’s just one appearance.

More than half of the judges gave high scores directly, as if they were not worried at all that three or five more "little perverts" would pop up later.

They are all top teachers in the country, frequent judges, and have taught all kinds of gifted children, so after listening to Sun Wenjun's performance, everyone has a basic idea of ​​what's going on.

As expected, contestant No. 09 will be the first place today.

He plays the guitar really well, there's nothing to say about it, he has solid skills and will definitely be in the top three in Group D.

And with Sun Wenjun's score as a reference, the following contestants only need to refer to Sun Wenjun's score.

Only Novak hesitated and did not write.

If you like it, you like it; if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Novak felt bored with the Winter Wind played by Sun Wenjun.

It was even more boring to him than listening to Sun Wenjun's Mozart.

Where did the music in the waltz go?

Speed, speed, only speed, running, running, only running.

When he was a competitor, Novak still doesn’t understand why many judges gave high scores to speed and running players.

He can't control others, but now that he is sitting on the judges' panel, he can't give high scores to such contestants again.

No one knew how much he was looking forward to the last piece of contestant No. 09 when he was listening to the Mazurka just now.

Because it sounded to him that contestant No. 09's Mazurka was just about to turn on the music.

He hopes that contestant No. 09's final piece will be like a red flag floating over the Kremlin into the distant birch forest.

As a result, the last winter wind was as calm as the surface of the Volga River in winter.

Between 9.5 and 9.6, Novak finally chose 9.6.

The extra 0.1 is because he really likes the waltz performed by contestant No. 09.

"The next player to appear is No. 08 Liu Yiyuan."
-
Even though 9.6 was considered a relatively low score among the judges, it was the highest score Novak had received in the past three days.

The average score given by the three commentators in the live broadcast room was 9.8.

Ang Lee gave it a score of 9.7.

The scores outside the field naturally have no impact on the competition, but Sun Wenjun's performance can actually affect the contestants behind her.

The following players No. 08, 07 and 06 did not put in a brilliant performance.

Or it’s not that the three players performed poorly.

In fact, the Mazurka played by contestant No. 07 Lin Ruoxi and the nocturne played by contestant No. 06 Huang Sirui are both remarkable.

Ang Lee could only say that these three young contestants had bad luck. The judges were also human beings. Unless they could put on a similar performance after Sun Wenjun, it would be difficult for the judges to give them any favor.

"The next contestant is No. 05 He Jiaming."

Applause broke out again in the backcourt and family viewing area.

Li An: "This kid is also very capable."

Drawing the sword: "Do you know him?"

Li An: "I gave him two lessons."

Drawing the sword: "Wow."

He drew his sword in admiration and looked around quietly, but for a moment he could not tell who was the parent of this classmate He Jiaming.

Li An smiled and said, "His parents were busy and didn't come to the competition this time."
-
[You in the Clouds: Here comes another heaven-defying move! ]

Just as everyone in the live broadcast room was discussing contestant No. 05, the hurried figure of Brother Xiaohu appeared at the door on the first floor.

Finally waited for this moment!
God knows how Wang Xiaohu has been spending these days!

Arlene, here I come!!!
