Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 483 "Memories of Don Juan"!
Hearing that Li Zhifan was going to demonstrate, the students became restless one by one.

Amidst the applause, Li Zhifan walked to the piano and caressed the piano casually with his ten fingers, seemingly unprepared, but played a series of beautiful notes with his fingertips.

"Is this... The Clock?"

Some students can hear it with just a few seconds of effort.

As the music progressed, the atmosphere below gradually became agitated.

For many students, this was such a rare moment. Seeing Li Zhifan's hands dancing like phantoms as soon as he came up, his blood couldn't stop boiling.

Li Zhifan didn't play for a long time. After finishing the second paragraph of the piece, he got up and returned to the center of the podium.

"The way I play fast is to forget the way!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the students below became confused, some even frowned, but there were also many students who nodded involuntarily.

Charlie and David looked at each other, and they showed intriguing eyes at the same time.

On the stage, Li Zhifan continued: "I believe that everyone has been lazy in the process of learning the piano at the beginning. In order to relax and save trouble, we did not strictly follow the fingerings taught by the teacher. At that time, we all felt that this was wrong. , but when you reach the playing level, you will find that these rigid rules are actually restrictions, especially when you play some fast 32nd or even 64th notes, you will find that your fingers are not enough, and you even envy those plucked Students of stringed instruments, because they have skills such as wheel fingers and shaking fingers, can play fast notes skillfully."

"Actually, after reaching the level of playing, we should start to reflect on our fingering and figure out the fingering that suits us best. This is an experience that can only be honed over time, and it is not something beginners can understand. After learning the basics, I have played the piano for so many years.”

Li Zhifan seemed to be making a joke, but he actually talked about a principle of cause and effect. If there is a cause, there will be an effect, and if there is an effect, there will be a cause. The simplest truth.

Just like the piano, the person who invented fingering must be a talent.

And every successful piano performance educator actually has a set of fingerings invented by himself.

In other worlds, in elementary piano performance courses such as Czerny, Baier, and Hanon, the fingerings of each piece are different, but beginners who learn piano always say: Follow the fingerings marked on the paper. Practice is the best.

It is true that this is an indispensable way for beginners. Without these fingerings, forging in the later stage will be very difficult.

But when you reach the performance level, you will find that you have to discard the fingering you learned at the beginning, because this fingering is not the most perfect, otherwise there will not be many genres.

"I don't know if any of you have read Dongfang's martial arts novels!"

Li Zhifan suddenly changed the topic to martial arts. Seeing that some students nodded repeatedly, and some looked blank, he smiled and said, "Students who haven't seen it, you can go and have a look. It's not for your entertainment, but to find out from it. Philosophy, in oriental martial arts, pays attention to reducing complexity to simplicity, the unity of heaven and man, there is a sword in the heart, there is no sword in the hand, and the sword is one, so it is the same in piano performance!"

In fact, many people understand these principles, and even those who don’t understand them can explain them clearly, but no one understands how to do this.

Li Zhifan couldn't give them a plan that suits everyone, otherwise there would be no need for one-on-one guidance in piano lessons.

So, he turned around and talked about himself: "Going back to the question I just started, how many people have seen me play the piano yesterday?"

It was still that part of the students who raised their hands.

Li Zhifan pointed casually: "Okay, this classmate, tell me, what did you see?"

He was referring to an Asian female student. I don’t know if she is Chinese, but she spoke English. The female student thought for a while and said seriously: "You play very well! Your level is very high, and you are very motivating. Me, but it makes me feel a little lost, you are like a mountain that is difficult to climb, even if you are so close to us, we can only look at it!"

"Thank you, I'll take it as your compliment!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "But what you said is not the answer I want!"

He looked at the other people who raised their hands: "Can any of you tell me what else you saw yesterday?"

Everyone raised their hands one after another, saying various things. Some said that they saw that Li Zhifan's level was better than Zhongju Youdou, some said that they saw Li Zhifan's afterimage-like hand, switching back and forth between fast and slow, and the priority was very natural. It seems to have become one with the piano.

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Okay, actually, I heard this answer from many people after the concert yesterday. It's hard to believe that you didn't pay attention."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Asian female student at the beginning yelled, "I see! Did you keep your eyes closed the whole time?"

She spoke Chinese, and it seemed that she said it in a hurry. Li Zhifan gave a thumbs up: "Good! Please convey this sentence to every student in English."

The female student suddenly became proud and repeated the words.

After she said this, many people also remembered, and they just didn't watch Li Zhifan's performance yesterday, but also watched the short piece of "The Bell" he played just now at the beginning.

During the whole process, Li Zhifan was indeed playing with his eyes closed and his head held high. He didn't open his eyes and leave the piano until the end.

The astute person suddenly understood what Li Zhifan meant. Could it be that this is what he said, the unity of human and piano?

"The piano is already in my heart. It can be said to be everywhere. I control my fingers with my heart. It can also be said that to control my heart is to control every key of the piano."

After Li Zhifan finished speaking, he waited for the intelligent translator to finish conveying the sentence. There was a burst of jubilation, thunderous applause, and even some students shouted again and again.

In the last 10 minutes, Li Zhifan picked a few students to come up and instruct them to play the piano on the spot.

In order to be fair, three whites, blacks and yellows were called respectively.

The playing of the first Caucasian student is quite satisfactory, with a good musical talent, and his level has been cultivated since he was a child. When he played, he already knew how to make up fingerings, but there are still certain routines. Maybe he thinks this play The routine is very applicable!
When Li Zhifan played, his fingering was basically different every time, and his fingers moved completely as he wanted, not to mention routines.

For his guidance, Li Zhifan started from here alone. Through communication, he learned that he studied in the local Belmont High School. During high school, he would come to Berkeley every week to take City-music courses, and he was determined to play the piano. It was during this period produced, that is to say, the teaching of the school played a great role in him.

Li Zhifan gave him two suggestions. In addition to completely getting rid of the formulaic fingering, draw an hour a day and sit in front of the piano and play randomly. Don't think about any melody or score, just play casually, but there must be rhythm, musicality, and rhythm. Harmony to play.

The Caucasian student seemed to understand but didn't understand, nodded in a daze, and went down to figure it out on his own.

The second black student came up and played a piece of jazz piano.

As expected, the black man is born to play jazz. He played this section very smoothly, and he sat down to his heart's content. Although his eyes sometimes glanced at the piano keys, they were not looking at the next key or the position of the keys, but seemed to use his eyes to look at the keys. talking to the piano.

It's like a basketball player who says to the basketball when shooting: "Baby, you must go in!"

After a brief exchange, I learned that this black student is a pianist in the school jazz band, and his main job is not piano performance, but jazz composition, so Li Zhifan only started from flexibility, gave him a few pointers, and made a point of composing music. Discussed with him a little bit about the problem.

The third yellow-skinned student, Li Zhifan, thought she was Chinese, but she didn't expect that although she was Chinese, she was Singaporean, and she also had one-eighth of Malay blood on her body.

There are many masters for girls who play the piano, but after the exchange, I learned that this girl is relatively petty, and her family has money to send her to school. Her dream is to return to Singapore to be a piano teacher.

Although the dream is not big, it is still beautiful. Li Zhifan did not teach her how to play the piano, but taught her how to teach the piano to the students. He also wrote superficial things, such as how to hit the nail on the head, how to distinguish the qualifications of students, etc.

Although he pointed out these three students individually, every sentence was also aimed at the students below. The students below automatically checked their seats and listened to the others, so they could go back and think independently.

"Okay! Let's end today's class here!"

Li Zhifan seized the time and announced the end of get out of class, "I hope everyone will like my class today!"

However, the students were still unsatisfied, and stood up one after another to persuade:
"Professor, show off again!"

"Professor Li, we still want to hear you play a song!"

"Dean, please ask Professor Li quickly!"

"Professor David, you can also help to talk, we really didn't have enough lessons in this class!"

"..."

Charlie and David were very helpless, but they didn't give up. They walked up to the stage together and asked Li Zhifan to stay.

"Professor Li, why don't you grant the students this wish!"

David said sincerely, "I believe you won't reject them, right?"

"Stop! I'm not a professor yet!" Li Zhifan spread his hands, "But since the students want to hear it, I can talk about another song, just this paragraph!"

After speaking, Li Zhifan began to think about what to play?
Looking at the expectant eyes of the students, he didn't want to be fooled, not to mention that there are so many professional students below, they can tell whether they are fooled or not.

But for the difficult piano piece, I couldn't remember what number to play for a while.

After searching the piano music library in my mind for a while, a picture suddenly popped up - Lang Lang was playing the piano at a concert with joy, and the shirt in his suit was already soaked with sweat.

The score and melody of this piano piece also appeared in his mind.

At that moment, Li Zhifan snapped his fingers and started to play this piece, then walked briskly to sit in front of the piano, closed his eyes and began to pretend to be deep.

The students not only screamed:

"It's started! It's started!"

"Sure enough, I've closed my eyes, and I'm going to see the scene of the unity of human and piano again!"

"My God! The moment Professor Li closed his eyes, his aura completely changed!"

"Yeah! I have to take a picture and post it to Youtube later!"

"I shoot too!"

The piece that Li Zhifan will play is called "Memories of Don Juan".

This piano piece was adapted by Liszt based on Mozart's opera "Don Giovanni", but there is no such opera as "Don Giovanni" in this world, so naturally this "Memories of Don Giovanni" is the only one.

"Memories of Don Juan" is the quintessence of Liszt's many adaptations. The technique is difficult and the scene is grand, creating an amazing momentum on the rich expressions of the original work.

Mozart's opera "Don Giovanni" was originally about two and a half hours long, but after being adapted by Liszt, it became a short piano piece.

The piano piece does not delete a note in the opera. The whole piece is very difficult in terms of rhythm and technique. It is known as one of the top ten most difficult piano pieces (ranked fourth) in a different world. Someone is playing.

The version played by Lang Lang is also known as the version with the fewest mispronunciation. No pianist in the other world can play this piece well, it's just a matter of how much.

However, with computer simulation synthesis later, there was also a version with no mispronunciation at all, but without the manual playing, what the cold machine brought was just a piece of music without emotion and temperature, and it could not be called a work of art.

With a stable mood, Li Zhifan seemed to have come to an empty world.

There was only him and a piano here. When he played the first string of notes on the piano with his fingers, the entire classroom was instantly silent, even quieter than the scene in the concert hall.

Everyone looked at Li Zhifan's hands, both hands were completely floating, as if they hadn't touched the keys at all, but the sound actually sounded, which showed how fast and powerful he was when he played it down and then left. How precise.

outside the classroom.

Many passing students and teachers were attracted.

Some came here to take a look when they learned that Li Zhifan was in class—and the reason why they learned about Li Zhifan was that apart from seeing his performance last night or knowing his works, it was more because he was an entertainment star.

Especially those students from South Korea and RB, most of them have heard of Li Zhifan. In these two countries, there are quite a few covers of Li Zhifan's songs, which is one of the important reasons for his popularity.

However, when everyone heard the sound of the piano, even if they couldn't squeeze in and couldn't see him playing, they still stood in the corridor and marveled.

This perverted playing level is just a small open class, is it worth it?
But I thought again, maybe this is the master, who treats every performance as if he is standing on the stage of a concert hall, respecting every one of his audience.

Originally, Li Zhifan only planned to play the first movement, but once immersed in it, he couldn't extricate himself. In the end, he insisted on playing for 6 minutes, and finished playing all the piano pieces!

When he opened his eyes again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. There was no gap in the classroom, and it was full of people around him. They were standing on tables and stools, even David and Charité were standing there. Stare at him.
