Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1140 400. Playing the game with my mother []

The stage mission has been completed, but there is a more important thing waiting for contestant No. 01 today.

I hope to get a good result.

Xiaoche walked off the stage praying in his heart.

Mr. Wang, a backstage staff member, came to offer his congratulations and praised Xiaoche for his excellent playing.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

At the moment, Xiao Che didn’t know how to describe her own condition. In fact, she felt that she had performed quite well.

"Go back and have some rest."

"Yeah! Goodbye, Teacher Wang."

If she were given another chance, she really couldn't guarantee that she could still perform like this.

But her own opinion cannot determine the outcome of the competition; it still depends on how the judges score.

So she found it difficult to describe her state. On the one hand, she wanted to appear not to care about the outcome, but on the other hand, she was secretly hoping to get a ticket.

Somewhat contradictory.

But Xiao Che could swear to God that she was not contradictory because of herself.

If no one cares about the results of her competition, then she really doesn't care whether she can go to Poland or not, because it will cost more money to go to Poland.

At this point in the competition, Xiao Che no longer has any regrets, she has left all the music she wanted to share on the stage.

That was enough for her.

But there is also Aunt Sang, our teacher dad.

Unlike Dingzi and his friends, if she didn't get the ticket, Dingzi and his friends would definitely feel regretful, but her teacher, Aunt Sang, would definitely be upset.

It was kind of cute, the three adults all whispered to her before the game.

The arguments were basically the same, both indicating that they didn't care about the results and asked her not to feel any pressure.

Especially the teacher, who had agreed with her that no one should feel bad.

But she knew these three adults too well.

When Xiao Che thought that his name would not be among the top three to be announced, he became nervous.

"The next contestant is No. 15 Zhao Xinyi."

Following the announcement from the scene, the car returned to the door of the lounge.

Before she opened the door, all the contestants in the lounge seemed to have heard her footsteps and looked towards the door.

Xiaoche was stunned when she pushed the door open. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she walked quickly towards her seat with a little embarrassment.

"Bull, cow, cow."

He Jiaming didn't know what to say. It was obviously meaningless to congratulate him, so he went straight to the point, "Have you finished practicing all three inventions?"

When he asked this question, everyone pricked up their ears.

This is the question everyone wants to know.

"No." Xiaoche answered in a puzzled tone.

The sudden question made her dizzy.

"what?"

He Jiaming responded with an "oh" and handed over the prepared drink. He thought Xiaoche sister was being modest. After all, the stage performance just now had already explained everything.

"Then you're almost done practicing, right?" He still wanted to know about Little Car Sister's progress.

"Thank you." Xiao Che took the water bottle and sat down. From He Jiaming's eyes, she saw a serious misunderstanding, "I have only practiced this B flat major."

what? !

I've only practiced this one!
This is a lie! Human Metronome No. 10 contestant Tang Haoran reported it with his real name!
How is it possible that I have only practiced this one!
Although No. 09 Sun Wenjun is willing to believe what No. 01 says, this doesn't make sense.

Not only Sun Wenjun thought it didn't make sense, but all fourteen contestants on the scene thought it didn't make sense, including Zhao Xinyi who was playing the first movement of k331 on the big screen at this moment.

Everyone present had practiced two or three of Bach's Inventions. Not everyone had practiced them completely, but Bach was one of the lifelong enemies of piano children. Anyone who could sit in this competition venue must have practiced twenty or thirty of Bach's works.

So they know very well the order of practicing Bach's three-part inventions. How could it be possible that the first one they practiced was the 14th?

You should know that although No. 14 is not the most difficult of the fifteen three-part inventions, it is definitely one of the difficult ones.

But think about it the other way around, judging from the unfathomable strength of contestant No. 01, he should have focused a lot of energy on works from the classical period, and perhaps also practiced a lot of modernist works. This can be seen from contestant No. 01's treatment of Beethoven.

Time is naturally limited, so it is understandable that I have not focused on Bach.

He Jiaming thought the same thing, "Oh, so you have finished playing both parts."

What followed was a scene that completely shocked everyone.

Player No. 01 shook his head again, "I haven't practiced much."

What the hell!
It is understandable that you haven’t practiced the third part, but isn’t it a bit too much that you haven’t even practiced the second part!

Isn't it necessary to practice all the two-part inventions before moving on to the three-part one?
Don’t tell me you can skip grades by taking the exam!

Yes, you can skip the two-part inventions that appear in levels five and six and go directly to the three-part inventions in levels eight and nine.

But in our competition, there are several people here who have actually passed the exam.

Human Metronome No. 10 contestant Tang Haoran once again reported with his real name: I have no other intentions! Someone is cheating here!
"You haven't practiced much?" He Jiaming was really dumbfounded this time. This was even more explosive than the Beethoven that Xiaoche sister played just now. "You mean, you haven't practiced Bach specifically?"

Xiao Che did not answer the question immediately this time. She also felt that the atmosphere in the lounge had become a little weird.

It seemed to be caused by her, but she didn't say anything.

She just hasn't practiced the second and third parts, but doesn't that mean she hasn't practiced Bach specifically?

He Jiaming's question once again made her really at a loss as to how to answer.

After a moment, Xiao Che's tone was not so sure, "I think I have practiced Bach professionally."

Just say it!
When everyone heard contestant No. 01 say that he had practiced Bach specifically, they felt much more balanced.

He must have practiced it specially, otherwise how could he play it so well.

"French Suite? English Suite?"

Tang Haoran finally couldn't help asking, "Partita? Italian Concerto?"

Tang Haoran was asked about four higher-level works of Bach in one breath. Of course, he didn't answer them off the cuff. This was the limit of the polyphonic works.

Everyone's eyes shifted from Tang Haoran who suddenly spoke to contestant No. 01 again.

"Uh." Xiao Che felt sorry because she liked these works very much, but she had never even seen the scores of these works.

The only Italian concerto I had ever seen was when I stole it from my teacher and forgot it on the piano.

"No." She could only tell the truth.

No? Not even one? This made Tang Haoran very embarrassed.

Tang Haoran thought to himself, is it because he is too low-class? No! It's not him! It's his teacher! He didn't even tell her what else is on top.

"So what do you specialize in?" Adhering to the glorious traditional virtue of asking questions without feeling ashamed, Tang Haoran asked again curiously.

Xiaoche naturally answered truthfully again: "Bach Elementary Tutorial."

Bach beginner's course?

As Xiaoche finished speaking, the lounge fell into a brief silence.

Everyone looked at each other, as if asking each other which textbook this was.

"The one with the red cover," Xiaoche looked around and explained, "The full name should be Bach's Elementary Piano Course."

I'm so horny!
This time even He Jiaming couldn't help it, sister, you are teasing us!
Even though we are all older than you and can't play the piano as well as you, you can't bully others like this!
"You should have all played it before. I've only practiced this one. I bought it on Pinduoduo for 4.9 yuan."

Bought on Pinduoduo
Four dollars and nine.
Good one, four dollars and nine
This time, the defense was really broken.
We thank you!!
Everyone really didn't know what to say anymore.

If contestant No. 01 was not teasing them, then that meant that contestant Che Lin, who had just performed the Three-Part Invention in B-flat major on stage—

She had only practiced the Bach elementary piano collection that included the minuet before, and then she went straight to this three-part invention.

If this is true, then this contestant No. 01 is really too scary. This is like a person who has not even graduated from elementary school, but directly took the college entrance examination, and his scores were much better than those of the top students in high school!
Although everyone is very humble and they don't put the label of junior high school piano tyrants directly on their foreheads, the fact is that in their circle or in their local area, they are like gods in the eyes of others.

It can be said without any exaggeration that looking across the country, most of the masters of their age group have basically gathered in this small lounge.

However, Tang Haoran still felt that the rest room was too small. It simply could not accommodate such a heaven-defying existence as Contestant No. 1.

"Why was I assigned to the same group with you!" Tang Haoran was about to cry.

As he spoke out of his true nature, the atmosphere in the lounge relaxed.

Then one by one they started talking to each other and became more and more genuine.

Putting aside the competition, the people present were actually just a group of kids around fifteen years old.

They are children, but they are not that young and they understand some things.

In fact, most of them know that they are just here for exercise, and few of them really think they can get the final ticket.

"You guys can fight, I'm already lying down anyway."

Tang Haoran sighed indifferently.

Then No. 06 Huang Sirui also said, "I'm going to lie down too. I still have to go to class tomorrow. Sigh."

It's as if no one is attending class, so everyone has to go back to class.

He Jiaming whispered: "You will go back tomorrow too."

Xiaoche: "Well, I've already taken four days off, and I've fallen behind on a lot of homework."

Tang Haoran: "You are from Rongcheng."

Car: "Yeah."

Tang Haoran: "Second year of junior high school?"

Xiaoche: "First grade, I started school a year later."

Tang Haoran: "Does Rongcheng Conservatory of Music have an affiliated middle school? I don't think I've heard of it."

Li Ruoxi: "There should be some, right? Doesn't every hospital have an attached middle school?"

As they spoke, everyone's eyes turned to the car again.

Xiaoche had heard the teacher mention it before: "It should be there, but I don't know where it is."

ha?
Li Ruoxi was stunned: "Aren't you from Rongyin High School?"

Xiaoche: "No, I went to an ordinary junior high school."

Everyone:.
Tang Haoran looked around: "Anyone else? Brothers and sisters?"

Everyone shook their heads. It was at this moment that Xiao Che realized that she was the only one at the scene who was not from the affiliated high school.

Thinking of this, the car also had problems. You can't just ask me. She had to kick the ball out: "Aren't we all selected from various places?"

Liu Yiyuan explained: "We only go to the attached middle school, and our hometown is still in the local area. I just enrolled in Liaoning Province."

Xiaoche: "Oh, I see."

Liu Yiyuan: "Then do you have time to practice piano during the week?"

This is another issue that everyone is very concerned about.

They all come from the affiliated high school and have fixed professional courses and piano practice time every day.

They are familiar with ordinary junior high schools, which have many courses, much homework, and evening self-study.

How can I have time to practice piano in this way?

Xiaoche took a moment to tidy up and answered, "During the week, I can only practice at noon after school and at night after finishing my homework."

She added, "But recently, because I'm preparing for a competition, I practice the piano first in the evening, and then do my homework when I reach the time when it's too late to disturb others."

He Jiaming: "Then you are working too hard."

Xiaoche: "It's not hard. I live at my teacher's house, which is very close to the school. It only takes me seven or eight minutes to get home after school."

Tang Haoran immediately grasped the key point again, "You live in your teacher's house, is he a piano teacher?"

"Yeah," Xiaoche nodded.

He Jiaming was puzzled: "Why don't you live in your own house? Is your house being renovated?"

Xiaoche: "No, no, the main reason is that my home is too far from school. If I live at home, I have to spend an extra hour and a half on the road every day. So the teacher let me live at his house."

Li Ruoxi: "Is it boarding?"

Xiao Che thought for a moment and said, "Not really. I don't understand. Anyway, I live in the teacher's house."

Tang Haoran: "Oh, that's the kind. I don't know if you have this kind of situation around you. The school has dormitories, but the teacher's family also provides accommodation and pays a certain amount of accommodation fees every month. We have a lot of this kind of situation."

"No!"

This can't be said nonsense, Xiaoche immediately raised his voice, "My teacher doesn't charge me for accommodation."

"Uh." Tang Haoran was embarrassed again. He didn't mean anything else. "Then your teacher is pretty good."

Contestant No. 11 Wu Yating: "I'm envious."

Xiao Che laughed and said, "My teacher is the best in the world."

The older contestants smiled when they saw this. It turned out that this little girl wasn't that aloof after all, when they really started chatting. She was actually quite cute.

However, when Tang Haoran mentioned boarding just now, they had indeed seen it, and this situation existed on the spot. Living in the teacher's home, not only did they have to pay the teacher for accommodation, but also for food, even though they all ate in the school cafeteria.

"Hey, do you know there's a guy named Li Mingze in Group E?"

"I know."

"Then our senior brother."

"It is said that he is also very awesome."

"It's necessary. He has been preparing for the Xiao competition for 25 years."

"I go!"

For a moment, the whole lounge was in commotion.

"You should also know Tang Caiyun, right? She's about the same age as us."

Xiao Che was just thinking about it when he heard Tang Xiaoxing's name.

However, no one responded at the first moment, as if everyone was unfamiliar with this name.

at this time.

"know."

Sun Wenjun, who had been listening, spoke at this time, and the car looked along with everyone else.

Then I heard Sun Wenjun continue to say: "She is very strong."

Tang Haoran smiled in his heart. It's funny what you said. Very strong? How much stronger can he be? He can be stronger than you.

Indeed, although little sister No. 01 is unexpectedly strong in the eyes of everyone, when it comes to the combat power ceiling on the scene, most people still think that Sun Wenjun is Nanbowan.

"What are you two competing against?" Tang Haoran chuckled.

Although he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, Sun Wenjun said without hesitation: "She."

The rest room fell into silence again.

There are people in their age group who are stronger than Sun Wenjun!!!

Sun Wenjun said and looked at Jamel Xiao, and Jamel Xiao also looked at her at this moment.

In the competition that the two of them participated in together, Tang Caiyun was the opening performance guest.

Although it has been a long time, Tang Caiyun's performance is still deeply imprinted in her mind.

"The next contestant to appear is No. 14 Yang Ruolin."

The game continues.
