Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1135 395. Playing the game with my mother [Fourteen]

Contestant No. 01 finished playing his piece and the break room fell into complete silence.

To put it in nonsense terms, after listening to contestant No. 01's Beethoven, everyone who should have been silent and shouldn't have been silent fell silent.

If this competition is regarded as an exam, and each contestant faces the same questions as the other fourteen contestants, then the appearance of the question asked by contestant No. 01 is seriously beyond the scope of the exam for every contestant present.

Do not understand.

Don't understand at all.

can't read.

I can’t understand either.

What does this title mean?
In all the Beethoven music they had come into contact with, understood, heard and played, there had never been such a Beethoven movement.

What is contestant No. 01 playing?
Including Sun Wenjun and Xiao Jingchen, the two, as representatives of the two affiliated high schools in this competition, their brains short-circuited when contestant No. 01 played the first note.

They had all learned the first movement of this piece in F minor. In the first lesson of learning this movement, their teacher emphasized the first note of the opening at the same time as them.

The first note is very important. Although it is marked as weak, you must not treat this note as a weak note.

The two teachers’ meaning is very clear, the weakness here refers to weakness in feeling.

This feeling was like a program that had been recorded into their performance system, so when the two heard contestant No. 01 actually play the first note with a real soft sound, they couldn't understand it.

Next is the speed. Contestant No. 01 opened the piece too fast, and the whole sentence climbed from weak to strong. The moment the motive appeared, it was completely impossible to tell that this was a work from the classical period.

Needless to say, contestant No. 01 played completely in their trap.

Where the music should be gradually accelerated, contestant No. 01 will instead use a hold note to limit the speed of the music.

Where contestant No. 01 should be strong, he is not only not strong, but also consciously uses syntax to pass over the points.

The whole song stopped and there was not a single part they could understand.

Neither of them could imagine that their teacher would go crazy if they played the piece like this.

No.

There was no way that the two of them could play the piece like this. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't do it.

Because the way contestant No. 01 handled the situation made it impossible for them to analyze it using conventional thinking.

However, although they could not analyze what Contestant 01 was playing, from the perspective of listening to music, neither of them could deny that Contestant 01's performance did sound particularly pleasurable.

It was like facing a door with a combination lock. The other contestants were trying their best to decipher the combination of the lock, but No. 01 didn't even look at the lock and just kicked the door.

This is also what Sun Wenjun found truly terrifying; not everyone has the strength to kick the door open with one foot.

Putting aside the music, the various force-generating techniques demonstrated by contestant No. 01 in this piece have already shown that her feeling is correct.

From the first time she met contestant No. 01 yesterday, she felt that there was something special about this female classmate.

However, having said that, Sun Wenjun is confident that if she plays the first movement in F minor again, the judges will definitely give her a higher score.

In her opinion, it is far from enough to just have the power technique. No matter how powerful the technique is, if it cannot serve the music, it can only be a spectator sport.

If Sun Wenjun expressed his opinion loudly at this moment, although He Jiaming would not admit it verbally, he would have to vote in favor in his heart.

Although he already regarded Che Lin as a younger sister in his heart, he could not cover up for Che Lin because of this. He believed from the bottom of his heart that Che Lin's first work was a failure.

At least that's what he thought.

He could hear nothing but the notes of violence.

Having received orthodox classical music education since childhood, he absolutely could not accept such Beethoven music.

So this is also what he doesn’t understand very much, why did Che Lin’s first movement become like this?
Unlike all the other contestants, he had heard Che Lin play the entire First Sonata in F minor.

Just this New Year’s Day, on the stage of Xinghai Concert Hall.

He was shocked at the time! Where did this little girl come from? She was so strong!
What he admired at that time was not Che Lin's fingers, but exactly what surprised him today - the handling!
From rhythm to sentences, from harmony to structure, what He Jiaming heard at that time was completely the authentic German and Austrian style of treatment. The key touches were crisp, rational, and regular, and every note was carefully designed.

But what is this thing today?
No. 05 Mr. He couldn't understand it at all, but No. 13 contestant Xiao Jingchen thought he could understand it a little bit.

Although Xiao Jingchen didn't know how to explain the treatment of contestant No. 01, the difference between him and Sun Wenjun and He Jiaming was that he had followed many teachers before.

Every teacher has a different teaching method. Even for the same problem, two different teachers can give a pair of completely contradictory solutions.

More than once he tried to use two seemingly contradictory methods to solve the same problem, and each time he made new discoveries.

So now we skip the parts he doesn't understand and look back. He thinks that contestant No. 01 must have his own reasons for handling the situation this way.

He just didn't understand.

Speaking of not understanding, Jamel Xiao's brain really crashed just now.

Perhaps after this competition is over, he can go back and play Beethoven in this way. Maybe he will have some new discoveries then.

This competition is really worth coming to.

As contestant No. 01 started playing Puppy Waltz on the big screen, Jamel Xiao was in a very good mood.

It seems like I have learned something new! Eh? This introduction is so well done!
The sound of icicles and jade shattering resounded throughout the rest room, and a dense layer of
【Valse, Op.64 No.1-Chopin】

Chopin Waltz, Op. 64 No. 1.

Title Puppy.

As contestant No. 01 began to move his fingers again, the attention of the contestants in the break was once again drawn to the big screen.

Contestant No. 09 Sun Wenjun:?

Contestant No. 05 He Jiaming:! ?
Contestant No. 13 Xiao Jingchen:!

No. 02 contestant Chen Yutong: 0.0
Just listen to 01 and the contestant established the tempo of the song in the four-bar introduction.

It is a speed that everyone is familiar with.

When the main melody begins, contestant No. 01 plays four notes in a group with his right hand, and his left hand plays the standard waltz three-beat rhythm.

The asymmetric sense of humor created on both sides is like a puppy jumping around in circles. The music presents a very pleasant picture and gives people a relaxing experience.

There is no problem!
Smooth technique, syntactful treatment, isn’t this the most standard puppy waltz?
It’s strange to say, but all the little geniuses were dumbfounded again at this moment!
We just finished listening to contestant No. 01’s sonata, and no one could understand it, so they didn’t understand!

Now that we have heard their most familiar playing techniques, everyone can understand them, but they still don’t understand!

It shouldn’t be!

At least contestant No. 01 should continue to play this waltz in the style of the sonata he just played!
How could this be?
"She, she's slowing down."

Suddenly, an ambiguous question was raised in the lounge.

Then, the first semi-anonymous discussion in the lounge began.

"Not slow, about 150."

"160."

“Less than 160.”

"Absolutely 160."

The three kids were arguing when another kid spoke up.

"Listen to him. He is our class's human metronome. The speed is zero error within 180, and the error is no more than 210 within 3."

They are indeed the most outstanding group of contestants of this age group in the country, and they actually have a human metronome.

That's right, the speed that the car is playing at this moment is the standard 160.

Then the question arises. This completely normal speed, normal processing, and performance that couldn't be more normal, actually came from contestant No. 01?

If you close your eyes, no one would dare to believe that this is the girl who just played Beethoven.

It cannot be said that it does not look like it was played by one person at all. It must be said that it was played by two people!

How can one person have two completely different sets of touches!

Do not understand.

I don’t understand again.

Can't read or understand.

"165."

Just then, the humanoid metronome spoke again.

The contestants also immediately felt the change in music speed.

"170."

"177"

"."

The torrential rain of notes was like a colorful kaleidoscope, but the magical thing was that even if the human metronome chose to remain silent, everyone could still see the texture of each note.

Here she comes again.

She came again without following the rules.

moment.

"Has anyone played against her?"

There was silence.

Another moment.

"She has such strong fingers."

"She looks so happy."

"what."

The first laugh of the day was heard in the rest room, from contestant No. 13 Xiao Jingchen.

Some people expressed it out loud, while others kept it to themselves.

But there are some things that everyone can hear whether they are said or not - this is a very happy music.

It's not the music itself that is happy, but the person who plays it makes everyone feel happy.

Sun Wenjun can also feel joy from the music at this moment.

She hadn't seen such a relaxed and joyful performance in a long time.

It has been a long time since she last saw this emotion, and it has also been a long time since her good friend Chen Yutong lasted.

Looking at the big screen, Sun Wenjun didn't feel any nervousness from contestant No. 01 at all.

why?
Does contestant No. 01 not care that this is a competition?

For some unknown reason, Sun Wenjun felt a sense of inexplicable frustration.
-
Happy! Happy! Happy!

All worries and sorrows go away!

It’s not that the car wants to go faster or has more fun, the key is that Wang Xiaogou is too strong!
On the stage, Wang Xiaogou Waltz has entered the final subway run.

Wang Xiaogou was like a puppy that had broken free from its leash, jumping up and down and hiding here and there.

So the car had to run around everywhere!

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of twenty-one judges, contestant No. 01 had a great time at the piano.

However~
Play is play, jokes are jokes, but contestant No. 01 never jokes about music.

The toughness of the first piece represents the attitude of contestant No. 01 who is new to the show and is not afraid of anyone.

The second piece was the first sentence she said to everyone when she sat on the stage: Piano is happiness.

The master said that a complete piece of music should have a complete emotion running through it.

This sentence made Xiaoche ponder for a long time.

Finally, she came to the conclusion that complete emotions are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the emotions are real.

To put it in Lin Yan's words: If you want to feel that this song is happy, then don't let the whole song sound unhappy just because one of the sentences sounds a little sad!
What you need to find a way to solve is to use your hands to turn that little bit of unhappiness into happiness, so that the entire emotion of the music is opened up and becomes real emotion.

And for Xiao Che, that moment of turning unhappiness into happiness is the part she thinks she really wants to share with every listener.

Just like now the music has reached the last moment, after playing a series of exaggerated and gorgeous rapid sound streams, the original ending should have been a strong f!

Do not!
Her choice was that her fingers suddenly softened, the grainy notes instantly became hazy, followed by a weak and slow ending chord, and the music seemed to have entered a dream from a frenzy in an instant.

The joy of the car is not to cause trouble to the people on the subway.

She knew that everyone had their own life and troubles, and she was not sure that her puppy waltz could really bring happiness to every listener.

So Wang Xiaogou’s crazy running on the subway was just her fantasy. At least in her fantasy, everyone is carefree and happy.

But fantasy will always be shattered by reality. This is the moment that Xiaoche needs to deal with in the emotion of this work - the final ending.

When the music stops, happy people will wake up from their happiness, what to do?
If there is no better way, at least don't use an F (strong)!
Being strong here will only scare people.

So she turned the strong into a weak.

When the last chord turned into the softest morning light in her hands, the sleeping puppy slowly kicked its legs.

The puppy also had a dream last night. He dreamed that he played in a metal box that looked like an amusement park all night.

What a pleasant dream!

My puppy is going to wake up now!

Check out what's in store for this morning!

The puppy hopped to his food bowl and happily licked the leftover water from last night. The ripples on the water seemed to be forming a special musical score.

The musical staff without a single note seems to be the last moment of a dream, but also seems to foreshadow the coming of the next beautiful dream.

Just like at this moment, on the quiet stage, under the dim lights, contestant No. 01 gently withdrew her hands, and then she gently closed her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was like a long sigh from an old man far away.

No. 01's fingers fell on the piano and her expression remained happy, allowing the heavy tone to doodle and color in the mist of sound.
