Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1141 401. Playing the game with my mother [Twenty]

"enthusiasm."

Contestant No. 14 Yang Ruolin started playing at the piano, and the obscure tones instantly invaded the lounge.

The discussion about Tang Xiaoxing was put on hold, and everyone's attention was drawn to the big screen.

Eight sections passed in a blink of an eye, and no one spoke in the lounge anymore. Only a few people even noticed that No. 15 Zhao Xinyi, who had just finished, had returned to the lounge.

Another Beethoven.

After contestant No. 01, another contestant finally appeared and chose Beethoven as the opening piece.

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23, Op. 57, titled Appassionata.

Coincidentally, the Beethoven's First Piano Sonata chosen by contestant No. 01 is in F minor, and this piece is also in minor.

However, although they are all Beethoven's F minor sonatas, if someone talks about Beethoven's F minor sonatas without mentioning the order or number of the works, probably no one would think of the one chosen by contestant No. 01.

All anyone could think of was Beethoven's Passion, Sonata in F minor, Passion!

This work is so great that musicians and the public around the world believe that this Appassionata, together with Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in C minor, is a perfect example of Beethoven's heroic style.

As a piano work that is as famous as the Symphony No. 5, it is also destined to be a masterpiece in terms of difficulty.

Just from the composer's manuscripts, we can see that this work is simply a huge emotional vortex.

It is a work that many professionals cannot express well, but it appears here at this moment.

How could this not attract the attention of all the contestants present?
If this was just an ordinary competition, no one would be too surprised at what songs appeared.

Anyway, no matter how big the piece is, it is just made up of individual notes. If you can play the notes in order and rhythm, you can say that you have practiced it. There is no problem in choosing the piece you have practiced to participate in the competition.

But this is not an amateur competition, it's not just a casual performance.
This is a real professional-level competition, and just practicing is not enough.

It is an unspoken consensus among everyone that they must perform the piece they are most confident of scoring high.

Even contestants who know they have little chance of getting tickets will choose their repertoire with extreme caution.

If I take out this piece of music, it must be a piece that I think I have practiced to near perfection.

This is why everyone was so shocked when contestant No. 01 played Bach.

Because in their minds they assumed that the piece chosen by contestant No. 01 was just a piece they had practiced, but contestant No. 01 brought it to such a competition.

The passion played by contestant No. 14 at this moment also gave them the same feeling.

But this feeling did not last long in everyone's hearts.

Including the car.

Xiao Che had no intention of judging. From the process of listening to a piece of work, she had already lost her expectations for the following part of this sister's work.

From her personal perspective, she believes that the sense of contrast in the music completely disappears starting from around bar 32.

She had practiced Beethoven before, although not in the way these brothers and sisters had practiced professionally, but she also had her own understanding of Beethoven's works.

Just now when I was listening to these older brothers and sisters discussing the difficulties of Mozart, one sister expressed a point of view that she did not quite agree with. It seemed that it was sister No. 04 who said it, but she could not remember clearly.

The other party probably wanted to express that Mozart's touch was difficult, so he brought up Beethoven's works, saying that Beethoven's works did not require such high touch and focused more on emotional expression.

Xiaoche agrees with the second half of the sentence. Beethoven's works do focus more on emotional expression, but in terms of key touch, no composer's works do not have high requirements for key touch.

She didn't refute anything at the time, and everyone can stick to their own opinions.

Speaking of experience, she often listened to her teacher practicing Beethoven's works. She didn't listen to the finished product, but just sat next to the teacher and listened to the teacher's practice process.

Just like normal piano practice, the teacher would play the wrong notes, the wrong rhythm, repeat the same sentence over and over again, and even talk to himself from time to time.

During this process, what she saw most was that the teacher meticulously processed each note and paid great attention to the touch of each note.

and so.

The teacher must be right!
Just then, He Jiaming's voice came from the side.

Xiaoche didn't hear clearly and turned his head.

He Jiaming: "I wonder if she played it wrong just now?"

Xiaoche: “No.”

Did you play it correctly? Well, since Xiaoche said it was correct, then there must be no problem.

He Jiaming thought to himself and his eyes returned to the big screen again.

He did practice the first movement of Passion, but that was all he practiced.

He had almost forgotten the score, but he just felt that the part just now sounded a bit weird, so he wanted to find Xiaoche sister to confirm it.

However, after Yang Ruolin on the screen played two more phrases, He Jiaming frowned again.

He didn't want to question Xiaoche sister, but the sentence No. 14 just said sounded strange to him.

It's exactly the same sentence as before.

Although he had almost forgotten the score, he still had the feeling and impression.

It's just not right.

"Was there any problem here just now?" He Jiaming couldn't help but confirm with the car again.

His repeated question also attracted some attention.

"That's right." But this time Xiao Che probably understood what He Jiaming wanted to ask.

Through the processing of this paragraph by sister No. 14, she also heard the problem, but the other party did not play it wrong, it was just a problem in processing.

“The notes and rhythms are all right.”

As Xiaoche spoke softly again, more eyes turned to her, as if wanting to hear what she would say next.

Especially No. 13 Jam Hsiao, who was about to appear on stage, looked over here as soon as He Jiaming asked the question. He also felt that there were some problems with the handling of the entire segment by contestant No. 14, but he couldn't grasp where the problem was.

I only heard Xiaoche continue to say: "The rhythm from bar 32 to bar 34 is a quarter note, followed by a dotted quarter note. There is no problem with her rhythm."

"But she might want to play the full duration, so each note sounds a little bit dragged out, which is a dangerous approach."

He Jiaming grasped something in an instant.

There was also a flash of sudden enlightenment in Jamel Xiao’s eyes.

Xiaoche: "Because all the chords that appear in the last ten bars must be maintained. If we can't make a strong contrast between strong and weak, it will feel exactly the same as the first three bars, and all the contrast will disappear."

Those who understand will understand this.

This is why everyone found it more and more boring the more they listened. Contestant No. 14's speed did not slow down, and they could clearly feel the volume of the music increasing, but they just didn't have the same sense of anticipation as in the beginning.

The root cause is that contestant No. 14's improper handling caused the contrast in the music to disappear.

Without comparison, there would be no strength or weakness; without comparison, there would be no speed or slowness; without comparison, there would be no emotion.

To put it more bluntly, contestant No. 14 has already ruined the piece between bars and .

However, everyone's attention is not on contestant No. 14. This is how the competition is. Who can feel sorry for whom?

The key point is that this sister No. 01 is so scary.

Some of them didn't notice the problem at all. It was only after listening to the analysis of sister No. 01 that they realized the problem in the performance of contestant No. 14.

There were many people who had noticed the problem before, but they had no idea where the problem lay, even though some of them had refined this piece of work.

And what about sister No. 01? !
Not only was the problem pointed out in time during such a fast live performance on No. 14, but a solution was also provided.

This is not just being awesome, this is totally cheating!
Jamel Xiao: Ruthless! So awesome.

He Jiaming no longer knew how to worship.

At this moment, he did not feel any sense of frustration, because he and Xiaoche sister were at completely different levels.

It's understandable that Mr. He felt upset after being defeated by someone younger than him and at the same level.

But if this person who is younger than him is a few levels higher than him, wouldn't it be normal for him to defeat him with just one move?

No problem!
For a moment, He Jiaming was a little proud. After all, in his eyes, Xiaoche sister was in the same group with him.

In the excitement, He Jiaming asked: "Why didn't you choose passion? Do you want to challenge yourself?"

He was not showing off, he really thought so. He had already imagined a scene in his mind where the little car girl was playing the pig and eating the tiger game with them using a small account.

He started by playing three simple pieces of his own choice, and then finished with a show-off piece before delivering a killer performance!

So cool.

Otherwise, in his opinion, Xiaoche's sister is already like this, so why do we have to choose Beethoven's No. 1?
At this moment, not only He Jiaming thought so, Xiao Jingchen and others also had some such thoughts.

But they were wrong again, and this time even more wrong.

“I can’t play Passion.”

will not!

Good guy!
If you can't play Passion, then what are we?
He Jiaming was surprised: "What do you mean you can't play it?"

Xiao Che frowned slightly, wondering if she had said too much just now: "If you can't play, you can't play. I haven't practiced enthusiasm at all."

Tang Haoran couldn't hold it in any longer, "Damn, what you just analyzed, how can you know it so clearly if you haven't played it before?"

Xiao Che was speechless. If you haven't played it before, you are not allowed to play it. Have you ever heard of it? "Yes, I have heard of it. I have heard how my teacher practiced it."

Tang Haoran: "Can this thing be learned by listening?"

I don't bother to pay attention to Xiaoche. If she's not good at it, just practice more. She just relies on listening anyway.

However, there is indeed a natural misunderstanding here, after all, everyone's situation is different.

To everyone, the explanation given by sister No. 01 was too fantastic.

Heard of it.

I've heard how the teacher practices.

So?

and then?
And then you remember it?

Do you still keep every detail in your mind?
Does it still make sense?

Tang Haoran couldn't accept it: "You really haven't practiced before? Don't lie to me, I really don't believe it."

Xiaoche finally got tired of being asked and sighed as if he was restraining something.

In fact, she was always thinking about the result of the competition. She was already a little irritable and didn't want to talk, but He Jiaming kept looking for her.

She knew He Jiaming, but was she very familiar with Tang Haoran? Why did she keep asking so many questions?

As he thought about it, he became more and more annoyed. Xiao Che's temper really flared up, and he angrily said, "If I had practiced it, why didn't I play Passion? Maybe I could get some song points. I'm younger than you guys anyway."

Everyone was speechless with shock. This time it was really heartbreaking.

Especially the last sentence, I am younger than you, okay!
Faced with sister No. 01 whose aura suddenly reached meters, no one dared to speak for a while.

He Jiaming was also slightly frightened. At that moment he did feel that Xiaoche sister was angry.

There is no need to do so. He Jiaming can understand everyone's thoughts. Who wouldn't be curious?
He originally wanted to ask Xiaoche if Beethoven had only played the first sonata.
Forget it, forget it, the girls in Chengdu are really hot.

As the fuse of the incident, He Jiaming hurried to the table and got another pack of biscuits.

Xiaoche wasn't polite. She was hungry and it was already past seven o'clock. She said thank you, took it, opened the package and started eating.

A minor storm that was not a big deal just passed.

But no one really dares to treat contestant No. 01 as a little sister anymore.

In fact, although these kids are older than Xiaoche, if we really talk about the relationship, it is not an exaggeration for them to call Xiaoche "sister".

Most of them have learned piano by following the arrangements of their parents and teachers, and spend most of their time on learning piano, so how much life experience can they have?

What's more, he is a gifted child of destiny. He is cared for by his parents at home, by his teachers at school, and by his professional teachers in the piano room. He can be said to be a typical flower in a greenhouse, and he has not yet bloomed.

Even though you and I were talking about school matters one after another, and how awesome this senior was, and how great that senior was, if they really met someone who gave them some strength, they would be dumbfounded immediately.

For example, player 01.

Xiaoche grew up in a wild state and was brought up by a group of cooks in the kitchen. If you really mess with me, no matter who you are, I will really beat you.

In fact, Xiao Che has restrained herself because she is considering the other players who are not going to play.

If she had been like her usual self, she wouldn't have explained anything at all.

The words "What does it have to do with you" hit Tang Haoran directly in the face.

Just like that, the atmosphere in the lounge returned to what it was a few hours ago. No one talked to each other anymore, and everyone's attention returned to the big screen.

The final virtuoso piece chosen by contestant No. 14 was still Chopin's Etudes, Op. , Black Keys.

In general, the comprehensive level of contestant No. 14 is relatively shallow among the eleven contestants who have already appeared.

As No. 14 was about to finish playing the black keys, Jamel Xiao slowly stood up.

"come on."

Sun Wenjun's voice broke the silence in the break room. When adapting to the stage at noon today, Xiao Jingchen knew that she was the first to go on stage, and said "Come on" to her.

"Ah."

Xiao Jingchen nodded at Sun Wenjun and said thank you.

From the beginning of the game until now, Jamel Xiao, who had been hiding in the corner, finally uttered three words.

Then he left the lounge.

"The next contestant to appear is No. 13 Jamel Xiao."

As Jamel Xiao left the rest room, the most nervous person at the moment was No. 02 Chen Yutong.

If there is no problem with Jamel Xiao's performance, then she will most likely have no chance.

Because at this point in the competition, in her eyes, Sun Wenjun and No. 01 have already firmly entered the top three.

Now it depends on whether she will compete with No. 05 for the last ticket, or compete with Jamel Xiao and the other two.

If there were three people, she might really have no chance.

Ugh.

With a faint sigh, Chen Yutong's gaze quietly fell on contestant No. 01.

She had just been listening to contestant No. 01's speech.

She could only say that she was envious.

Is hard work really worthless in the face of talent?
She had practiced enthusiasm so hard that she had almost lost it.
