Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1142 402. Playing the game with my mother [Twenty-one]

"Oh?"

Novak, who had just returned from taking a shower, was delighted when he heard the piano music on the stage again.

In stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere in the contestants' rest room, the stage sounded lively again.

As contestant No. 13 Xiao Jingchen played the first song of this round, all eyes were once again focused on the center of the stage.

Ever since contestant No. 01 stepped down, the judges, whether they praised or criticized contestant No. 01, could reach a consensus on one phenomenon:

The next two contestants who came on stage failed to cheer them up.

In other words, even if the judges did not like the playing style of contestant No. 01, they would not be able to find better performances in contestants No. 15 and No. 14 who performed subsequently.

In other words, contestants 15 and 14 are not at the same level as contestant 01 in terms of the concept of handling music, so it is not appropriate to compare them.

Until contestant No. 13 came on stage.

As soon as the piano sounded, the things that should be there came out immediately.

Light touch, steady rhythm, and restrained emotion.

In the first four bars, contestant No. 13 demonstrated the ability of a calm performer to control the style of the piece.

As both are Beethoven's works, some judges have naturally compared contestants No. 13 and No. 01.

Let’s first compare the difficulty of the pieces. There is no doubt that contestant No. 13 wins.
-
[The plane takes off: No. 13 is really strong]

[His Majesty the King 0v0: Compared to this, the passionate girl just now is much worse]

[Ruby: Keep kneeling]

[Qiu Ye Feng F: Running is invincible, where did this big brother come from? ]

[You in the Clouds: I'm having a meal and now I'm working hard again! Damn it, Dawn! ]

No other piano sonata Beethoven had composed before had unleashed such powerful force.

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in C major, Op. 53, titled Waldstein, also known as the Dawn Sonata.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the Dawn Sonata, which is a combination of three movements, can be called the Dawn Sonata with infinite power.

But even so, it is still more difficult than Xiaoche's first song.

Mu Xin: "Teacher Tang, please tell us. Let's hear what the senior has to say about the junior."

Contestant No. 13 is Mr. Tang’s junior! ?

Isn't that from the High School Affiliated to Haiyuan! ?
No wonder!

A series of exclamation marks appeared on the public screen.

After listening to two more bars, Lao Tang chuckled and commented, "Not bad."

That’s it?
Seeing that Lao Tang was so reserved, everyone started asking him how No. 13 compared to No. 1.

Hai Tao added, "Please welcome Master Tang with another round of applause."

Wang Xiaohu standing by also grinned and started clapping.

As soon as the car got off the stage, the atmosphere at the live broadcast center became much more relaxed.

This is naturally due to the perfect performance of the car in the eyes of everyone.

Although the results of the competition have not yet come out, No. 13 is still far behind Che Lin and Beethoven.

The playing was not powerful at all! Wang Xiaohu was evaluating it in his mind, and then he heard Teacher Tang speak again: "Don't worry, listen to it first."

After saying this, Lao Tang stopped talking.

As the person in charge of hosting today's live event, Lao Tang naturally cannot behave like the netizens who are leaning towards Xiao Che. He certainly hopes that Xiao Che will take first place, but the problem is that to compare the two songs, he has to wait until both sides have finished playing.

Just then, Tang Xiaoxing suddenly popped up.

[Little Star: Good evening, teachers! Good evening, captain! The professor came to see me for something else and was late! ]

Wang Xiaohu was not unhappy because Tang Xiaoxing came at this moment. He was just a little surprised at the beginning why Tang Xiaoxing had not shown up. They had agreed in the group to watch the game together today.

Then she responded with a smile: "It's okay, don't delay the class, Arlene has already finished playing it, it's perfect!"

【Little Star: Ahhhhhh! I need to watch the replay later! 】

[Beibeibeibei: Xiaoxing! ]

[Sheep: Xiaoxing, have you had lunch? ]

[Little Star: I've eaten. Hello, Sister Ji Yang. Xiao Bei, hug me! ]

[I'll use C4 to blow you up if you mess with me: Look at me, guess who I am! ]

Seeing that his number one follower's speech was ignored by Tang Xiaoxing again, Wang Xiaohu said, "Women's team, women's team, Meng Youxi is calling you!"

【Little Star: Ah! 】

[I'll use C4 to blow you up if you mess with me: Hehe! I'll add you as my friend. ]

[Shen Qi is not Doudou: Xiaoxing! ]

【Little Star: Doudou!! Everyone is here! 】

[Sunny Pillar: Today is a big day. ]

Suddenly, the public screen became a background board of memories of the first summer camp, occupied by a group of children. The adults were a little confused for a moment, as if these children came from all over the world.

Then Wang Xiaohu explained: "We all met at the summer camp last year, and today we all agreed to come together to watch Arlene's game."

As expected of a commander, everyone understood with just one sentence.

At the same time, all the online summer camp players in the live broadcast room also came out to respond.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and continued to introduce: "Me, Beibeibeibei, Optimus Prime, I want to break up with my homework, the cheesecake is a bit salty, and Yanglegeyang. We are all students of the teacher, and Yanglegeyang is our senior sister."

"During the summer camp, Meng Youxi and I were on the Beethoven team."

"Fu Yu and A Lin are both in Haydn's group"

"Optimus Prime and Bean are from Team Mozart"

"."

After Brother Xiaohu's detailed introduction and explanation, everyone understood who was who, including the students taught by other teachers. Anyway, everyone met at last year's summer camp, and everyone had a great time at last year's summer camp.

After listening to the whole circle, everyone was quite moved that just one event could bring together such a group of children from all over the world.

really not bad.

Regardless of whether these kids came for contestant Lin or just to join in the fun, the atmosphere was really good.

[Biscuit: Tiger Finger, what kind of summer camp is this? Is it still available this year? ]

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes! This is a summer camp with a pure piano theme. There are various courses, games, concerts and activities. It was held in Yanjing last year and will be held in Chengdu this year!"

[Ruby: Can seniors still participate? ]

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes! Anyone can participate, whether you are a student or a teacher, you can come, um. Teacher Zheng?"

Haitao: "Yes, our summer camp welcomes all piano lovers!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes! And there is no age limit. Do you remember the old man who played the minuet in the live concert last month? He will also participate."

[Zhang Pangzi Bu Fat: What is the approximate date of the event?] Mu Xin: "The specific date of the event has not been determined yet, but it should be in mid-August. There will be an event schedule at that time, so everyone can pay attention to it in advance."

[Your Majesty the King ovo: Is there anyone who plans to travel to Chengdu during the summer vacation? Let's form a team together]

[Akibafeng F: I think it’s worth considering.]

Wang Xiaohu: "Come on, come on! I'll show you my special skills when the time comes!"

[Ruby: Tiger Finger, if you say that, I won’t be sleepy anymore. What’s your special skill?]

Wang Xiaohu: "The unique skill must be kept secret in advance, but please rest assured, it is absolutely ruthless."

Ha ha ha ha--

The live broadcast room was filled with laughter again, and Xu Li was left staring at the phone in silence.

However, judging from everyone's reaction to the summer camp, perhaps Ang Lee should seriously consider this as a good publicity channel.

"Dang!!"

"when!"

With two firm ending chords, Jamel Xiao finished perfectly.

After a moment, the Waltz in A flat major began to play.

Lao Tang nodded and took the microphone with some emotion: "It's indeed played well."

His sincere tone made it difficult to tell whether he was praising the waltz that had already started or the dawn that had already ended.

[Orchid in the Valley: Can Play]

Lin Youyou, who basically didn't speak, also expressed her own opinion after Lao Tang finished speaking.

Lao Tang: "Right, Sister You."

Although it is only two short words, the praise contained in them is self-evident.

What does this mean? Brother Xiaohu immediately noticed that Teacher Tang's reaction was wrong. Adding to Teacher Lin's evaluation, this, this, this, can contestant No. 13 play Beethoven better than Arlene?

Lao Tang: "I can play it, I can objectively talk about my feeling after listening to the whole thing, it is smooth."

"It's very smooth. This movement can be played smoothly, and people can't hear any traces of performance. It's basically done."

“I don’t know if you can understand what I mean.”

Mu Xin: "If the whole article is fluent, it will be 90 points."

Lao Tang: "Yes, that's what I mean. I have to say a few more words about the movement Dawn. I've already talked about this Waltz in A flat major. If you don't want to hear what I say, just continue to listen to contestant 13."

After a pause, "Linlin chose the first piece from Beethoven's early period. From the perspective of compositional techniques, although Beethoven's early period has its own characteristics, its internal presentation is still quite messy. There are Haydn and Mozart in it, including the last movement. How should I explain it? Let me give you an example."

"The First Sonata in F minor is like our vision of the future when we were eighteen years old. We dared to think about anything and had no fear."

Mu Xinle.

"It even means that you can do things without considering the consequences. This is Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 1. Can you imagine that in that traditional era when sonatas must consist of three movements, this work he published actually has four movements."

"Can everyone understand what I mean?"

The public screen was filled with “1”, and I instantly felt like I was back in Teacher Tang’s online classroom.

[Qiu Ye Feng F: Teacher Tang is brilliant! ]

Lao Tang: "So from the perspective of performance, I also said when I was discussing Linlin with Teacher Mu just now that she can play like this, because the emotional background of this piece is that of an 18-year-old young person. If she handles it in a conventional way, what kind of young person is she still?"

[You in the cloud: Just be reckless! ]

Lao Tang: "Yes, the word 'rough' is a particularly good description. But when Beethoven reached the dawn of his creation, he matured. The maturity here does not mean that his edges were smoothed by the reality of life. On the contrary, his edges were sharpened more clearly during this period. He no longer pursued things that did not originally belong to his music."

【Coke without ice: Damn, I got it! 】

"That is to say, at this stage, his composition skills have become more sophisticated and he has embarked on a path that truly belongs to him."

"At this stage, his creative level has reached the peak of technology. Different from his later works, I know some friends want to talk about his later works after he became deaf."

"I'd like to make a personal comment here. I think Beethoven's late works are not as rigorous in terms of compositional techniques as his middle works, or in other words, he no longer needs any technical support."

"His late works have already moved towards something grander. Music is no longer a traditional performance of notes. Its structure and presentation have risen to the level of space."

[Tchaikovsky: I totally agree. In his later years, Mr. Bei has opened a whole new door and has surpassed his time]

Lao Tang: "Now let's go back to the first movement of Dawn played by contestant No. 13. This middle-period work reached Beethoven's highest peak in terms of compositional technique."

“You could even say that this is a work that stands out from the crowd simply by its compositional technique.”

"It is impeccable in terms of technique. For the performer, it is like a smooth mirror. Any crack or black spot in it will be magnified infinitely."

“So all of this necessitates that the performer must demonstrate the smoothness of a mirror.”

“It’s the level of fluency.”

【Ayu0055: Teacher Tang explained it so clearly! 】

[Coke without ice: I understand, I understand. If it is smooth, it is 90 points. It is true.]

Lao Tang: "Let's combine this and listen to the nocturne he is playing now. Isn't it also very smart? He is really good at playing and is very good at using his performance advantages. He is a typical piano merchant."

Mu Xin: "The piano."

Lao Tang: "Yes, compared to Linlin, how can I say that? It all depends on the judges' preferences. Personally, I really think that contestant No. 13 played well. I can say that among the contestants who have played so far, in terms of the Allegro movement of the sonata, in my heart, except for Linlin, he is the best. Really, believe me."

The people in the live broadcast room were instantly amused by Lao Tang's awkward expression.

We understand!
Oh, Teacher Tang, why don’t you just say that Linlin’s sonata is the best!
Wang Xiaohu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "I understand! Teacher Tang is absolutely fair."

Lao Tang groaned, then smiled bitterly: "I knew you misunderstood me, so I'll be frank with you, and you are not allowed to cyberbully me."

Hahahahaha!
The competition has entered a fierce stage and is about to end. Lao Tang does not intend to hide it anymore.

"In my opinion, contestant 13's handling of the work and the degree of completion are slightly more complete than contestant 01. However, if I were a judge, I would vote for contestant 01. It has nothing to do with who contestant 01 is. It's just that contestant 01's emotions in this work touched me more."

The live broadcast room fell into a brief silence.

Mu Xin smiled again. She understood what Lao Tang meant, and she understood it from the beginning.

When Lao Tang gave the example of 18-year-old, she knew Lao Tang’s choice.

On the contrary, she would vote for No. 13 in terms of emotion, but in her heart, Linlin is actually better in terms of technical performance.

The subjectivity of music is fully demonstrated at this moment.

suddenly.

"Will-o'-the-wisp!"

[You in the Clouds: Oh my god! Liszt is here! ]

[Coke without ice: Too scary! ]

Liszt's piano music was like a depth charge dropped from above the stage, and the live broadcast room was in turmoil again.
-
As Jamel Xiao No. 13 finished playing his final virtuoso piece, Ang Lee's heart sank again, and a trace of solemnity crept into the corners of his eyes.

What a clever boy.

Judging from the current comprehensive stage performance, there are already five contestants who have the possibility of competing for three tickets, and in his mind, Sun Wenjun and Xiao Jingchen have probably already secured the tickets.
