Chapter 167 164. Master class in the studio [Part 2]

The list in Alto's hand was different from the list in the hands of everyone in the audience. The content was the same, but the list he saw was edited in German.

Include student names.

When Alto takes master classes, he rarely pays attention to the last names of the students.

Yet at this moment it was difficult for him to ignore the performer behind the last farewell sonata.

‘LN’

He is very familiar with it.

In almost every piece of Lin Youyou's music score, there will be two letters written together like this in the upper right corner.

It's like a name and some kind of code name.

His gaze lingered for a moment, and Alto recalled a person he had praised Lin Youyou on the plane.

After a moment backstage, he raised his head and returned his gaze to the audience.

Open your mouth again.

As a musician from Austria, Otto would inevitably spend some time talking before Beethoven started.

Lin Youyou on the side sometimes frowned and sometimes showed questioning eyes, trying to convey what Alto wanted to express to everyone present as clearly as possible.

"Beethoven was an artist who defended art."

"Mozart lingered on the periphery of the aristocratic world, knocking on the door uneasily, but he was never truly accepted."

"As for Beethoven, he was five years younger than Mozart. He kicked open the door and stormed into the aristocratic circle with force, and then sat inside with peace of mind."

"Just like his work, it is decisive and revolutionary."

"When we study Beethoven's piano works, we must be sober."

"Sobriety beyond the score."

After a pause, Alto's eyes gradually became as deep as those in the poster photo.

"Beethoven."

He said.

Lin Youyou then translated.

"Beethoven's piano sonatas represent not only pianists, but all musicians and music lovers."

"There is a uniqueness in his works that has influenced many composers."

“People call Bach’s Equal Temperament the Old Testament, and Beethoven’s sonatas the New Testament.”

"I don't think it's the right thing to give these works a religious meaning."

"But these words tell us that these works are the basis for our study of piano music."

The audience burst into applause.

After sharing some pre-class quotations, he signaled to Lin Youyou that it was time to start.

Returning to the piano again, this time he sat in front of the teacher's piano equipped for him by the organizer, and watched the first young man to walk onto the stage in the second half.

"Teacher Otto"

"Sister Lin."

The person who walked onto the stage was Li Qing’s first-year graduate student.

In the piano department of Rongyuan, Wei Sanwan is the boss, and here is Li Qing.

This female student with long blond hair looks like the Chinese translation of the work she brought to class.

enthusiasm.

After politely greeting the two teachers on the stage, she sat down in front of the piano and started playing.

First movement.

As soon as the low chords were struck, her excellent chord pushing skills were displayed.

As the top seed player in Li Qingshi's sect, the blonde just won the first place in the piano category of the Chengdu Youth Instrumental Music Competition at the beginning of this year.

The final performance was the Passionate Sonata.

The repertoire she is good at is under her fingers, and every note seems to have been integrated with her fingers. The harmonious music picture makes people intoxicated. The audio-visual effect alone is more than one level higher than the beginning of the first half.

If grouped according to grade, the first half is the undergraduate group, and the second half is the master's group.

The blonde was immersed in her narcissistic performance when she was suddenly interrupted by Otto's polite cough.

This is the first time today that Otto interrupted a student while he was playing.

Lin Youyou walked between the two of them knowingly.

Alto first gave his approval to the opening part.

"Very good, you have a lot of ideas in it."

He waved and gestured as he spoke, and Lin Youyou showed an encouraging smile as he translated.

"However, I think these ideas should be better organized."

When Li An heard this sentence, he quickly wrote down on the score in front of him, and Alto said what he wanted to express.

He could feel that there were many ideas in the design of the blond junior sister in the music just now, but he couldn't get what kind of emotion the other party wanted to express.

Then the music was interrupted.

"In fact, the more ideas you have, the more important it becomes to plan them well."

"In other words, you should better understand your thoughts."

"Why is this, why is that."

"Because it's like this, it's like that."

"It will only start when the order is clear. When the music reaches this point, I will use a slower speed. When the music reaches the next section, I will switch to another processing method."

"This way you will always be in a state to play, which is very important for us to perform sonata-themed works."

The blonde seemed to take back a lot of these suggestions, and her brows widened.

Alto asked her to continue.

Then the blonde started playing again.

The first movement of the first movement was not as enthusiastic as the first half. For example, after Alto gave Liu Boyang advice, when Liu Boyang played the third etude again, there were changes in the music that made it easy to get sleepy.

From this perspective, it is not difficult to see the huge structure and grand narrative of the sonata.

As Alto said at the beginning of the second half.

"Beethoven's sonatas cover so much."

But this still couldn't stop the audience from applauding enthusiastically after the blond's performance. At least in the eyes of most undergraduates, the performance ability shown by the blond senior sister was still their current ambition.

-

"come on."

As the blonde's performance ended, Deng Shiqi appeared in second place.

Ang Lee cheered him up.

Deng Shiqi's class repertoire was Variations on a Theme of Heibel's Minuet. From the length and structure of this piece, there was no way to compare it with the enthusiasm chosen by the blonde girl from any angle.

But it can be used as a performance piece for the graduation concert, so Deng Shiqi naturally has his own ideas in it.

Besides, Variations on a Theme are really easy to play, right?

In this piece, Mr. Bei demonstrated extremely wonderful variation techniques.

In front of the piano, the moment three crisp weak eighth notes were played in a clear staccato, at least Ang Lee in the audience felt that the level of this foreign junior was no weaker than that of the blonde.

It doesn't mean that people who can play complex music are better.

Deng Shiqi's C major work reveals the warmth of the afternoon sun, just like its clean appearance.

The falling fingers are strong and not sloppy, and every sound can be heard clearly.

Deng Shiqi's handling of the variations after the theme is presented has his own understanding of the melody's progression and counterpoint rhythm.

Before entering the next variation, he would make a slow-down to foretell that the music would enter the next section.

Listening to the ten-minute lively melody gives people a full sense of comfort.

And Alto did not interrupt the whole process.

Deng Shiqi stopped his hand, and Alto grinned and sighed softly.
