Chapter 203 200. Post-game reflection and summary, real or fake Czerny?

Perhaps there is another part of Li An's life hidden behind that door. As for where the door's lock cylinder is, at least he hasn't touched it yet.

Of course, it can also be seen that he is not in a hurry.

-

After all fifteen contestants finished their performances, the third round of the Youth Open Group of the 18th National Xinghai Cup Piano Competition came to an end with the host's enthusiastic concluding remarks and applause.

The host predicted that the final result of this round of competition will be announced online on time at 17:30 pm on the 23rd.

"So let's wait and see which other four players can successfully enter the finals."

This was not said by the host. On the way back to the hotel, Lao Tang said this after Wu Fusheng complained about the delay in announcing the results of the second round.

Lao Tang had two consecutive runs and adhesion in the first movement today. This alone has disqualified him from competing for tickets to the finals. No one present knew this.

So now I feel completely relaxed and don’t have any baggage anymore.

The cheerful tone was not only self-deprecating, but also happy for the wonderful performances of Wu Fusheng and Li An, and by the way, I wish them the best.

Wu Fusheng will not say it, the county magistrate and master are in the same camp.

As for Li An, after getting along with him this week, Lao Tang has a good impression of Li An. To be honest, he admires Li An very much. If a person who is already working can come to participate in this competition, he must give him this spirit.

Li An likes it.

What's more, the other party's farewell today was simply heavenly. With the emotional appeal of Lun Xiang, he believed that no player could do better than Li An today.

Isn’t music originally a language that expresses emotions?

Fortunately, Ang Lee made up his place and entered the third round, otherwise he might never have the chance to hear Ang Lee's farewell performance again in his life.

After the competition, everyone returned to their own lives. Even if they made friends, there would still be several opportunities to meet in this life.

When he reached the end of the journey, he knew that Wu Fusheng would definitely make it to the finals, and he also hoped that Li An could make it to the finals.

Li An originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but for no other reason, he gave him the pat on the shoulder before the lottery draw yesterday afternoon, which made him truly feel the sincere kindness of the other party.

But thinking about it again, it is not appropriate to comfort the other person in this context.

The game is like this, no matter what happens in the audience, as long as the shovel shakes hands on stage, no one can blame it.

"I'd like to lend you some good words."

Li An smiled and said nothing more, but he was determined to be Lao Tang's friend.

Wu Fusheng didn't want to continue this topic, after all, his brother was acting abnormally.

However, no matter how much the topic changed, it could not get out of the game. This afternoon Wu Fusheng received a text message from the parents of his Haishi students. The parents told him that their children performed very well in the game this afternoon.

"Hey Li An, some of your students will also participate in the competition this afternoon."

Wu Fusheng pointed to the Chengdu Division.

Ang Lee replied: "Just one."

Wu Fusheng: "How is it?"

Ang Lee: “Actually, it’s pretty good.”

He received a message from Che Lin's father in the afternoon. When he clicked on it, he knew it was from Che Lin.

'Teacher, I didn't play the second part well.'

At that time, he went back to the backstage lounge and called Che Lin. On the phone, Che Lin only said that she didn't play well, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. He comforted her a few words, and then asked Che Lin to record a video of her parents.

Send it over.

The sound quality of the video recording was not very clear, but he probably understood it, so there was nothing wrong with it.

It was just that when he played the second part, his wrist was a little tight, and he couldn't say that he didn't play it well at all. He analyzed that it might be that the keys of the piano used for the competition were new and the keys were a bit hard, which made Che Lin not used to it and it didn't sound like playing well.

I am so good at playing it at home or in the fourth classroom, so I say that I am not good at playing it.

So he called again, analyzed Che Lin carefully, and then told the other party that you played the piano very well, which calmed the child's mood.

Ang Lee shared this incident with the two of them, and then said: "Don't talk about children, adults who are not used to playing the piano often also have this problem in competitions."

Lao Tang complained: "Indeed, in international competitions, players basically choose their own pianos. For the Xinghai Cup, the piano is the designated one."

Wu Fusheng: "In addition to the Xinghai Cup, is there any decent adult competition in mainland China now? Think about the video of the judges in the Jinding semi-finals the year before last year, when the contestants questioned the shady story and cursed."

Sighing, "Hey, take your time."

Regarding the incident in which Wu Fusheng mentioned that the judges of Dajinding were trolling, Li An didn’t know about it, and he hadn’t seen the video, so he couldn’t comment. “What about you, how are your students?”

When the topic returned to the children's competition, Wu Fusheng replied with a smile: "My parents told me that it's okay, but I probably won't be able to advance to the next round. There are only a few promotion places, and even the children from Haiyuan Primary School can't compete for them.

Students like us can still have our turn."

Li An thought about it too. If there was no schedule for him today, he would definitely go to the professional children's group in the Yanjing Division to have a look and experience it up close.

It is said that Huaguoyuan Primary School is a gathering place for monsters.

As a piano teacher, how could he not be interested in these little monsters?

While talking, they arrived at the door of the hotel. Wu Fusheng and Lao Tang asked Li An to go downstairs for dinner in a while. Li An said that he would go back to the room and order takeout.

"Why are we ordering takeout? It's so late and the game is over. Let's go relax."

Wu Fusheng pulled Li An not because he wanted to inquire about Lin Youyou, but because he thought that Lao Tang must be somewhat unwilling to admit defeat today, and that more people would get together to have more fun.

Seeing that Lao Tang was also looking forward to it, Li An had no choice but to tell the truth and said with a smile: "My girlfriend is waiting for me to call her after I finish. Forget it today, I will treat you tomorrow."

Upon hearing that Li An actually had a girlfriend, the two bachelors showed a knowing expression at the same time.

The elevator stopped at the third floor, and Li An said goodbye to the two of them.

After returning to the room, I first sent a message to Chen Xuan, and then took off the dress I had worn all day. My whole body seemed to be liberated.

After taking a nice hot shower, he went out and ordered a takeaway.

Then a video invitation was sent to Chen Xuan.

In this video, two people were fighting for a long time.

In the end, Li An took the initiative to hang up, otherwise he might have been beaten until dawn.

In fact, Li An didn't care if he played until dawn. He left his farewell on the stage in the third round, and he had no regrets.

It's just that Chen Xuan has to go to work early in the morning.

-

The next day, the college competitions in each major competition area also started in full swing. Li An had already seen the stages of the top players from each major campus yesterday, so he had no expectations for the high school competitions in the Yanjing competition area.

The biological clock woke him up at 7 o'clock on time, got up and washed, went downstairs to eat, and then went to the Giger Piano Art Gallery.

The piano still needs to be practiced.

Although his mental state was not very good today, due to lack of sleep, he just sat in front of the piano and took two big breaths in a row, but ten minutes later, he realized that he had made progress.

The breakthrough in his mental state allowed him to move his hands more freely, move his fingers and raise his hands, breathe more naturally, the rhythm is precise, and the rhythm is clear. The most gratifying thing is that he vaguely found a sense of timbre he wanted.

It was the kind of timbre he had when he played the Adagio of the second movement yesterday. It's hard to describe, as if he was using a bland tone of objective narrative.

No single stroke is elaborately crafted, but the continuous connection gives people a sense that the words are clearly visible from a distance, and the solid emotions between the lines can be found only by looking closer.

Through the practice in the morning and the insights from yesterday’s stage, Ang Lee believed that his previous understanding of timbre was biased.

The timbre should not be the timbre of a single note.

The study of timbre may at least be based on two sounds, whether they are two sounds sounding at the same time, like the first set of intervals of the farewell motive, or two sounds sounding one after another, even if it is just a simple set of C to G.

As long as there are two sounds, it will definitely break the acoustic balance of only one sound.

Then look for the balance you want from the unbalanced sound.

Finally, we try to establish a new balance, ranging from a set of scales to a complete set of sonatas.

Ang Lee’s new understanding: Stability should be the factor that has the greatest impact on timbre.

But it is difficult to find the balance you want. It involves the character of the work and the overall understanding of the work.

Not to mention achieving this balance involves two issues: the awareness of part processing and the way of polyphonic performance.

During lunch, Ang Lee summarized to himself the specific directions for solving the timbre problem in the next stage. Generally speaking, it is the above content.

As for whether it is correct or not, at least it has more reference value than simply trying out a note in terms of playing method or repeating scale exercises without thinking.

In the afternoon he called Wei Sanwan.

On the phone, Wei Sanwan had already listened to Li An's farewell yesterday morning. He first praised it greatly, and then after listening to Li An's questions, Mr. Wei thought it was quite refreshing. After some specific exchanges, he thought Li An could

Give it a try in this direction.

"But you still have to pay attention to the resistance and key depth of different pianos. Your ideas may have different effects on different pianos."

Mr. Wei finally warned him.
