Chapter 405 106. Xiaobei’s self-breakthrough, our children from a mother’s perspective

Seeing Xiaobei enter the arena, Che Lin offered to Sang Ping that she wanted to stay and watch the next game.

The family had already agreed that Che Lin would go home together after finishing.

"good."

Sang Ping agreed to Che Lin's request. When she returned to the auditorium, she took out a hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to Che Lin. Che Lin hesitated and took it, without saying thank you, and put the money directly into her pocket.

Dingzhi looked at Sang Ping. Sang Ping didn't say anything. His eyes signaled you to stay. Dingzhi nodded knowingly and sent Zhizhi, who was sleeping, back to Sang Ping's arms. Before Sang Ping left, Che Lin casually took Zhizhi's left foot.

Tie up the loosened shoe buckle, and then return your eyes to the stage again,

Sang Ping had to go back to help look after the store. She and Ding Ding were not here, and Lao Che would definitely be too busy by herself, so she stopped accompanying Che Lin.

If possible, she would like to watch Che Lin for a while longer.

She hugged the baby and left, and the game continued.

"If anything happens, just call me."

Seeing that his boss Nian had left, Ding Ding moved his shoulders downward after speaking, found a comfortable position and continued to close his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, two more contestants passed by. During this period, Che Lin was also a little sleepy. She suppressed her sleepiness and wanted to finish playing Xiaobei.

But her eyelids were like hanging from a jack, and she used all her strength to support her fallen eyelids.

Listening to the hazy piano music in her ears, who coughed from time to time, Che Lin lowered her head. She didn't know how long she had been fighting against the trapped demon in her half-asleep and half-awake state, until applause rang out again in her ears.

"Wow————"

"Group A No. 033, Yu Xiaobei, repertoire, Pirate Tarantella."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaobei's name, Che Lin's head dropped suddenly, and a slap fell from the corner of her mouth.

In an instant, her mind came to her senses and her vision became clear. She raised her hand to wipe away the saliva from the corner of her chin and mouth, as if nothing had happened, and then clapped her hands hard, looking a little excited.

While applauding, she looked to her side and thought for a moment that she didn't call Ding Ding. She knew that Ding Ding loved to sing and would often sing two lines of popular songs about love and love when there were no customers in the store. At first, she thought Ding Ding would also like him.

Regarding piano music, she once used her mobile phone to play a piece of piano played by her grandfather for Ding Ding. Ding Ding said it was unpleasant before she could finish listening to it, and she became very angry afterwards.

-

Backstage, Xiao Bei was already ready, spitting lightly and walked onto the stage.

Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, Xiaobei reminded himself, and walked softly towards the piano in front of him.

From the audience's perspective, Yu Xiaobei, wearing a white skirt and black leather shoes, looks as beautiful as a little princess under the golden lamp.

The bowing action is not elegant but gives people a simple and cute feeling.

After the applause fell, Xiaobei smoothed down her skirt and sat down.

After adjusting the piano bench, he put his hands together and rubbed them gently.

"call--"

Until the scene was completely quiet, she was still counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in her mind

Once again, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, when she counted to five, she raised her arms and shouted six in her heart, and pressed down firmly with her right little finger.

"MI—"

The solid MI sound sounded accurately to the preset street beat in her heart, which gave her confidence.

The next second, her left hand followed, and a more solid arm staccato played a set of minor triads brightly and crisply. At the same time, the power of her right hand was also transferred from the little finger to the three fingers, completing a set of standard minor connecting movements.

Xiaobei raised his right wrist slightly and lowered it again. At the empty beat of his left hand, the little finger of his right hand played MI for the second time. As his hands alternated and fluctuated, the staccato columnar chords were combined with the continuous small connecting lines of his right hand.

Tarantella's rhythmic style is clearly displayed on stage.

Tarantella is not the meaning of the title of this work, such as Liszt's Dream of Love or the title of a sketch in Schumann's Childhood Scenes. The title has actual meaning.

To be precise, it is a music genre like nocturne, scherzo, minuet, etc. Tarantella belongs to the dance music category.

It is said that this dance originated from a legend. In the mid-14th century, a strange infectious disease appeared in the southern Italian city of Taranto, which was caused by the bite of a poisonous spider named Tarantula.

The injured can only eliminate toxins from the body by dancing crazily until their whole bodies are dripping with sweat.

This is where the name of Tarantella comes from. The beat is often 6/8 or 3/8, and the rhythm is fast and intense.

When a composer writes in this genre, he writes according to the rules, and when the work is completed, he names it in a key or directly with his own name, like Liszt's Tarantella, or before the Tarantella.

Add a symbolic noun, just like the song Xiaobei is playing at the moment - Pirate Tarantella.

Looking at the full score, the whole song is short and lively, integrating musicality and elementary wrist and finger skills.

In Ang Lee's view, from a technical perspective, Xiaobei can completely master this piece, but how to perform it is the challenge Xiaobei faces.

After half a year of study, Xiaobei has also made varying degrees of progress in his fingers, wrists and music reading ability. The little girl who couldn't even grasp the lift and drop last year can now easily rotate the lift and drop with any two fingers.

between.

However, when actually playing, the coordination of Xiaobei's hands was still obviously stiff.

Therefore, in the early and middle stages of teaching this piece, Ang Lee focused most of his attention on instructing Xiaobei how to do close alternating training with both hands.

The premise of deduction is freedom, and the premise of freedom is to ensure relative relaxation.

While inducing Xiaobei to continue to relax his wrist, Li An strengthened his demands on Xiaobei's fingertips.

The sound that needs to appear on the downbeat must be completed with the most precise keystrokes.

There can't be any discrepancies. Problems like this are not limited to the first few bars. The whole song is completed in such a fierce and bright rhythm.

One can imagine how much hardship Xiaobei had to endure in order to perform this piece according to Ang Lee's requirements.

However, Xiaobei has always been unafraid of hardships in piano learning and found her goals. Under the careful guidance of the teacher, she completed the alternating hands training ahead of schedule and exceeded Li An's expectations, and exceeded the training requirements.

This left Ang Lee with some time to help Xiaobei sort out and process the dynamics of the whole song and the interface between sections.

"Dang, Dang-Dang, Dang-Dang, Dang!"

Looking at the stage from a distance, Xiaobei looks relaxed and at ease. His body movements are coordinated from his arms to his wrists and fingertips, and every note he presses with his fingertips gives people peace of mind.

If you listen carefully, you will find that although the music speed is not fast, within the speed, the first melody line of the right hand always maintains a dominant position, and the occasional chord accents of the left hand show the standard character of the tarantella.

As the music returned to the minor key again, with another continuous rhythmic jump, Xiaobei injected more force into his arms. While the volume of the piano increased significantly, the audience could also feel that another level had appeared in the music.

After several rounds of progress, the accumulated musical emotions finally ushered in a small explosion at the last moment.

"when--!!"

I saw Xiaobei's hands rising and falling, each hand playing a set of chords, and using the solid chord endings of both hands to freeze the main tune at the last moment.

Release the pedal and Xiaobei calls out——

The whole hall was silent for less than three seconds, "Wow——————"

He pursed his lips, closed his hands, stood up, played the piano, and bowed to the audience. From a distance, Xiaobei saw the teacher looking at the applause, and the teacher was smiling.

She could understand this smile.

She also smiled with the teacher, then turned around and walked back towards the backstage entrance.

At the backstage entrance, her mother was applauding, and her father was also applauding her while holding his brother's two little hands.

For the first time, Xiaobei felt that he had completed a complete stage performance for the first time.

For the first time, she felt that she had the ability to break through the things that scared her.

Thank you teacher, thank you mom and dad.

Thank you Linlin.

"Xiaonan, sister, do you play well?"

Backstage, Xiaobei reached out and pinched his brother's face, his eyes filled with joy.

The same joy still exists in the eyes of Xiaobei's mother. After listening to her daughter's performance, she can feel the changes in Xiaobei compared to last year.

In addition to the progress on the piano, he also saw his daughter's progress in social aspects.

"Just call me Xiaobei from now on." It's hard to imagine that this sentence came from my daughter.

Looking again, the once introverted little girl seems to have grown a little taller now. She is standing tall and slim in a white dress. She looks more and more like an older girl.

"Contestant No. 034 of Group A, Shen Yikun, performance piece, Beethoven's Sonata in F major."

As the voice announcement sounded again in the hall, Xiaobei's family of four had already arrived at the entrance of the concert hall.

After the game is over, it’s time for the family to go back.

"Mom, I want to go in and listen for a while."

Xiaobei didn't know if her mother would agree, but she wanted to fight for it. After all, May Day is also a short holiday, so it would be okay if her mother disagreed.

In other words, Xiaobei never expected that his mother would agree.

"Go, your dad will accompany you. I will take Xiaonan to your grandma's house first. You can go directly there after the afternoon."
