Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1193 453. The Shackles of the Genius Girl

Just play it and it’s done!
After seeing the last few words of the message, Tang Xiaoxing suddenly sat up from the bed.

All of a sudden, the grievances and resentment that had been pent up in my heart for a long time turned into a powerful force.

Yes! Is it really wrong for her to play according to her own ideas?
Even the professor hadn't listened to her complete performance according to her own ideas!
Regardless of right or wrong, and regardless of the outcome, she must let the professor listen to her performance in its entirety today!
But before that, she had to listen to the recording that Linlin sent her.

She already regretted missing Xiaoche's online concert at noon the day before yesterday, and she was too busy in the past two days. She was waiting to make up for it after listening to Xiaoche's online concert this afternoon.

Almost with an absolute admiration, she clicked on the video sent to her by Xiaoche.

Looking at the girl in a black long dress in the video, Tang Xiaoxing didn't realize that she hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.

Xiao Xiao Xing: Linlin, your hair has grown longer! I want to start admiring it!

"when!"

Just the sound of the opening chord made Tang Xiaoxing's ears go numb.

What a touching beginning.

She had practiced Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu a long time ago and thought she was very familiar with the feeling of the piece.

But at this moment, the beginning of the car brought her a completely new feeling, a bit like the feeling of a live performance by a French pianist Rossano that she had heard.

But when the melody in the right hand starts to run, it becomes completely different. Rossano makes a crescendo, while the car makes a diminuendo.

The music becomes dreamy.

Tang Xiaoxing smiled secretly, doing the upward weakening movement is Teacher Li’s finger skill.

She remembered that when Teacher Li taught the five groups at the Li Nian Summer Camp, we gave her special training on how to use the natural movement of the arms to make the notes fade away while playing in ascending motion.

She still remembers clearly what Teacher Li said at the time: "Who told you that you have to do crescendos when you go up stairs? Shouldn't you get more tired the more you climb? Does that make sense?"

Makes sense!
That makes so much sense!

When Teacher Li said this, Tang Xiaoxing felt indescribable joy. No teacher had ever explained to her how to play the piano in this way.

Then Teacher Li used a 299 exercise to show them how to use ascending diminishment to add color to the music.

The secret actually lies in the moment when the music is about to descend after the upward movement ends. Because of the gradually fading sound preparation of the previous upward movement, when the descending notes are about to fall, the music will have a natural pause and then fall instantly.

It was this moment that immediately fascinated Tang Xiaoxing.

She actually saw in the etude that the sound could be still and could also be accelerated naturally.

This unimaginable sense of uncertainty is extremely colorful, just like the melody lines that Linlin continuously outlines in the video at this moment.

Awesome. I like it.
However, at this moment, Tang Xiaoxing's left eyebrow twitched cutely.

Then he showed a strange smile and asked, "What happened? Why did Linlin suddenly slow down?"
Is it completely different from the previous treatment?
Is there any design here?

Tang Xiaoxing was just thinking about it when the music started again.

So it was Linlin who made the mistake just now?
Then she understood.

Hahaha!
It turns out that Linlin is not being modest!

"I haven't practiced well at all. You will understand what I mean if you listen to it."

She had forgotten what Linlin said when the music started just now, but now she understood.

Sure enough, I understood it as soon as I heard it!
Linlin really didn’t practice well.

But what does it matter?

Still great.

Tang Xiaoxing definitely did not intentionally cover up for Xiaoche just because it was his performance.

In her opinion, although there are more and more flaws in Linlin's later performance, one thing is very important: Linlin's entire performance is complete.

Just like drawing a picture, Linlin has already drawn the outline of the whole picture with a pencil, but some places have not been colored yet.

The key is the outline!

Xiao Xiaoxing: Linlin, you are great!
Linlin: I played it badly! Xiaoxing, wait for me, I'll clean up the table.

Little Star: It’s fine! I’m not in a hurry. Do you want to take a nap?

While waiting for Xiaoche, Tang Xiaoxing listened to it again, and she admired Xiaoche even more.

She heard it, and it was just as Linlin said, Linlin had not yet fully practiced this song.

But the feeling and state that Linlin gave in the video was as if she was playing a piece that she was completely good at.

If she were asked to perform a piece that wasn't familiar to the audience, she would definitely not be in the right state to perform.

It was even said that she didn't dare to go on stage to perform a song that she had not prepared yet.

She really admired Linlin's courage.

And she found that compared with Xiao Xiaosai's stage performance, Linlin's control over the stage had improved significantly.

It's a feeling that's hard to describe.

At the Xiao Xiao competition, Linlin sat in front of the piano like she was decorating the stage.

At this moment, Linlin in the phone was sitting in front of the piano, and the entire stage seemed like her background.

It's been less than a month and Linlin has really made progress.

Ugh.

While Tang Xiaoxing was happy about the car, he could only shake his head secretly at his own performance.

Linlin: Here I come!

Xiao Xiaoxing: Aren’t you taking a lunch break today?

Linlin: No lunch break, Xiaoxing, do you want to sleep a little longer?

Little Star: I’m not going to sleep anymore. I’m going to get up and practice the piano.

Linlin sent a shocked expression: Isn't it disturbing to others if I practice the piano now?

Little Star: Don't worry, it doesn't matter where I live. Linlin, how long have you practiced this song?
Linlin: It took me less than half a month and I put in a lot of effort to play it like this!

Tang Xiaoxing was shocked. It had only been less than half a month and she had become so good. She was already very good. No, no, I have to get up and practice! Thank you, Linlin! Wait for me to send you a new recording!
-
As if seeing Tang Xiaoxing's cheerful look on the other side of the screen, Xiaoche here also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

In Xiaoche's opinion, the problems Tang Xiaoxing has to face are far more than this.

What if Tang Xiaoxing recorded the piece he wanted to play today, but was rejected by the professor?
In other words, the professor did not deny it. After listening to Tang Xiaoxing, he gave him affirmation and continued to ask Tang Xiaoxing to play according to his own requirements.

What will Tang Xiaoxing do in such a situation?

It's impossible for Tang Xiaoxing to practice two versions of all the songs he learns in the future, right? One version is the version he wants to play, and the other version is the version required by the professor.

Xiaoche felt overwhelmed after just a little thought.

This is simply an ideal situation and is impossible to achieve in reality.

Once a phrase has been developed into muscle memory, it is impossible to easily replace it with another way of playing it.

Moreover, Tang Xiaoxing always gave her the impression of being an obedient child, unlike her.

Maybe after what the professor said, Tang Xiaoxing began to think about retreating again, and then returned to the state he had been in over the past two days.

Isn't this a vicious cycle?
But she couldn't say that Tang Xiaoxing's current professor was bad.

In the teacher's words, every teacher has his or her own method.

Just now she asked Tang Xiaoxing whether he believed in the current professor, and Tang Xiaoxing said no.

In fact, when she saw Tang Xiaoxing's reply of disbelief, she felt bad for the professor.

From Tang Xiaoxing's description, she could feel that the professor was very kind to Tang Xiaoxing.

But even so, Tang Xiaoxing no longer trusted the professor.

Isn't it sad that a student doesn't trust a teacher who is good to him?
Maybe this professor’s teaching method is not suitable for Tang Xiaoxing?
The car didn't know either.

Hey.

Come on, Xiaoxing.

Xiao Che always had a special feeling for this friend who she hadn't been with for a long time in real life. It might not be appropriate to say that she felt sympathy for him, but sometimes she really felt that Tang Xiaoxing was very pitiful.

The car sighed again.

Just now, Tang Xiaoxing asked her how long she had practiced the improvisational fantasy, and she could only vaguely give an approximate time, and even described it as having put in a lot of effort.

No one knew better than her that she had not actually put in that much effort. She had too many pieces to practice at the same time and she simply did not have the time or energy to favor this piece.

How ridiculous.

She was actually worried that Tang Xiaoxing would become mentally unbalanced after knowing the truth.

What qualifications does she have? It is obvious that Tang Xiaoxing is the one she looks up to.

But that was what she was thinking just now.

Hey.

In short, she hopes Tang Xiaoxing can play according to her own ideas.

Just like her expectations for Tang Xiaoxing during last year's summer camp, she hoped that Tang Xiaoxing could play her favorite songs.

Come on, Xiaoxing!
At least today she has seen a new surge of power emerging from Tang Xiaoxing.

I hope this power can bring some changes to Tang Xiaoxing's current study and life abroad.

Xiaoche: Looking forward to it!
Finally, Xiaoche replied to Tang Xiaoxing's message and took the time to practice scales for a while.

Her May is also urgent.

On the way to school in the afternoon, Xiaoche unconsciously recalled the conversation with Tang Xiaoxing at noon.

Xiaoche suddenly thought of a possibility!
What if Xiaoxing’s piano teacher is a teacher?

Then Xiaoxing shouldn’t have these worries anymore.

Thinking of this, Xiaoche suddenly smiled.

Maybe the teacher will like Xiaoxing more!

The teacher should also like Xiaoxing more!

Because Xiaoxing is worth it.

The scene before my eyes seemed to take me back to a corner of last year’s summer camp.

In the corner, facing her question, Xiaoxing smiled, lowered his head, and then shook his head.

This scene shocked Xiaoche greatly. The talented girl who was playing Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto in the corridor did not have the piece she wanted to play!
She asked Tang Xiaoxing if there was any song he wanted to play, and Tang Xiaoxing shook his head.

At first, Xiaoche misunderstood the meaning of the shaking head.

She thought Tang Xiaoxing was telling her no by shaking his head.

Later she realized that the female classmate, who she considered a genius, shook her head to mean that she couldn't speak.

It’s like just saying it is a mistake.

Through the contact throughout the summer camp, Xiao Che found that this talented girl is just like every friend who loves piano. Not only does she have pieces she wants to play, but she also has many lovely ideas in private, both about music and about life.

It's just that this talented girl's hands and feet were bound by invisible shackles.

Going to the amusement park with friends and having a good time is actually a luxury idea.

To the extent that even when there were songs I wanted to play, I could only smile and remain silent.

Xiao Che dares to swear on his favorite piano that if Xiaoxing’s teacher is a teacher, Xiaoxing will definitely have a new understanding of music, piano, and even life.

At least for her, it has happened.

Why.
Alin, if I had the final say, I would definitely let you come to Chengdu to learn piano from a teacher!
Anyway, your family doesn’t need you, so just stay in Yanjing!
Why.-
While the two children were whispering, Teacher Li Ang had already finished his morning exercises for the day.

That's right.

Finish morning exercise at 1:30 p.m.

After having breakfast at 7:30 in the morning, Ang Lee took the music score to the art gallery opposite the hotel.

I have been practicing until now, and only went to the toilet once and ordered a takeaway.

As the saying goes, it is better to sharpen your sword before the battle. Tomorrow afternoon we will rehearse with the Grand Theater's orchestra.

After all, I was appointed by Tang Qianfeng, so I must not embarrass Tang Qianfeng.

Of course, Ang Lee thinks this way as a way to relax and entertain himself.

Bei Si, he is ready.

After putting away the music sheet on the piano, Ang Lee gently closed the lid of Boss X's Steinway B211 piano.

What a great piano.

If he could practice the piano like this every day, Ang Lee would definitely be doubly happy.

wait.

When I have more money in the future, I will definitely buy a B211 for my home.

It's so nice to watch.

After finishing his morning exercise, Li An returned to the hotel. His takeaway was already cooling at the bar.

"Teacher Li, I'll ask the kitchen staff to make you some more hot food." The lady at the front desk saw this takeaway food hours before the class started.

Li An smiled and said, "Thanks, but I spent 16.80 yuan to order the meal."

The lady at the front desk also laughed, thinking that you are still short of sixteen dollars and eighty cents.

Of course Ang Lee is not bad, the key is that he has made an appointment to visit Mr. Xie at 3:30.

After eating a few quick bites on the sofa in the hall, he went back to his room, took the gifts and returned to the hall.

"Bye-Bye."

"Teacher Li, take care."
-
Not long after Li An left, Boss X came to the store.

He just came back from his mother-in-law's house.

Originally, he had no plan to stay at his mother-in-law's house for dinner, but wanted to have lunch with Li Ang at noon.

As a result, Ang Lee has been practicing the piano.

He wanted to meet with Li An again to talk about Tang Xiaoxing, but Li An went out to do some work in the afternoon.

Wait till night.

Time flies and it is afternoon. Boss X contacts Li An again and Li An says he wants to have dinner with Hou Zhentao in the evening.

have to.

After hanging up the phone with Ang Lee, Boss X didn't want to wait any longer and called Mr. Tang directly.

"Hello, Uncle Tang."

He carefully recounted to Mr. Tang what happened during the conversation with Ang Lee last night.

Mr. Tang listened to all four words.

"You agreed."

Boss X laughed: "Uncle Tang, you are scolding me."

of course.

No one can guarantee what will happen to Xiaoxing after she follows Li Ang, but he is sure that at least at this stage, letting Xiaoxing stay with Li Ang for a while is the right choice.

Compared with technical things, he thinks that what Ang Lee can bring to Xiaoxing is more about mentality.

Re-establishing a stable mentality for preparation is undoubtedly the most important thing for the young star at the moment.

"Yan Qiu, I'm really sorry."

"Uncle Tang, you are being too polite. This is all for Xiaoxing. Li An will be fine. Don't worry."
-
At the same time, on the way to the Berlin Concert Hall, Tang Xiaoxing took out her new recording from the morning and mustered up the courage to hand it to the professor next to her.
