After a break, the professors came back and the students quickly got into their seats.

According to the procedure, the next step is for each of the professors to send one student to compete with Yang Jingxing. They are all excellent performing artists. Yang Jingxing treats them equally and gives a certain degree of recognition to everyone's performance before nitpicking some details.

The teachers and students gave the protagonist enough respect. No matter what Yang Jingxing said was right or not, everyone listened carefully or implemented it.

Yang Jingxing's condition is getting better and better, and he even started to let Yu Xinting be a teaching assistant, so that no matter who is sitting on the piano bench, Yu Xinting has the opportunity to learn and practice. And the good academic atmosphere also makes Yu Xinting no longer coy and restrained, and starts to invest like everyone else

Go in.

Time passed unconsciously, and only the host realized that he needed to take a break.

Two hours later, the last student guest as originally planned finally arrived. A male student of Professor Feng, a junior, taciturn and polite.

Although this boy is not as famous as Chen Yu, his playing level seems to be between the two, and he is also considered a figure in the Puyin Piano Department. He won applause beyond the exchange meeting with his Chopin Ballade No. 3.

Chopin's Third Ballade is a work with an unclear background, and the drama and narrative of the work are not so obvious, so it leaves the performer with a relatively broad space for performance.

From a technical perspective, Xu San is not very difficult, but many people think it is the most difficult to express among the author's four ballads.

The boy's performance was very good. Compared with some fast versions, he was slow, delicate, restrained but unpretentious.

After applauding, Yang Jingxing pretended to think deeply for a few seconds before he began to speak: "This work is very meaningful to me. It was through this work that Professor Li gave me a deeper understanding of music. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me.

At first, I always thought that the so-called musical emotion was far-fetched and contrived, but when I played this piece, it was obviously not difficult, but I couldn’t play it well..."

Yang Jingxing really felt like he was expressing emotions like a character, and he was getting more and more out of touch: "...I think this is caused by the cultural differences between the East and the West. Maybe we are more reserved, and Europeans are more direct. I have heard this song

There are no less than twenty versions. I can’t say that Gu Ran plays the best, but I personally like it very much because I can hear that someone with oriental cultural background is playing this piece. I think this is the realm and pursuit.

All I can say is great, thank you."

Yang Jingxing applauded again, and everyone agreed. Gu Ran, who was still sitting, looked a little confused. He was not a beautiful woman, and he didn't expect to receive special attention from Yang Jingxing.

After finally being elegant for a while, a girl poured cold water on everyone: "Yang Jingxing, what do you mean by the realm you are talking about?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Self, Gu Ran has a strong ego when playing this piece... I can talk about it casually, don't mind."

Gu Ran lowered his head like a girl and was ashamed.

Yang Jingxing continued: "I guess playing like him will not be very popular in Europe. But I believe that many people will like it here. Although music has no borders, I think it is best to base ourselves on ourselves.

"

Before anyone could admire Yang Jingxing's state of mind, the girl immediately continued: "What about you? Do you have such a state of mind? For example, in creation."

Yang Jingxing sneered: "I will work hard in this direction."

"You mean Gu Ran's performance is perfect?"

But Yang Jingxing shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I meant that his intentions are good, but he is not better than others..."

Gu Ran raised his head and listened humbly to these words.

Yang Jingxing continued: "Putting aside intentions and emotions, purely technically, I think there are a few points that should be paid attention to..."

This is back to the old path.

After briefly talking about a few points, Gu Ran returned to his seat. The host went up to be more festive: "Now, let's invite Chen Yu to play for us, please!"

Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting also clapped their hands and greeted Chen Yu with their eyes as he stood up and walked to the piano. Chen Yu bowed slightly to everyone in an international style, then sat down, adjusted a little, and then said to the audience: "Chopin's Fourth Scherzo, thank you."

"

This is a very technically difficult piece of music.

For piano students, the difficulty that everyone usually talks about is not the will-o'-the-wisp instrument. Those things that show off one's skills are very difficult, dazzlingly difficult. But even if it is so difficult, why don't you go to the head office? No one says that you can't play the instrument

Can’t you be a piano master?

For piano students, the real technical difficulty lies in works such as Chopin's Fourth Scherzo. Most students will not waste time on will-o'-the-wisps, because no matter how hard they practice, they will be incomparable to those with extraordinary talents and will be worse.

too far.

But something like the Fourth Scherzo is something that everyone can and should practice, because everyone has the ability to get as close as possible to the masters. It just depends on whether you will put in so much effort.

Chen Yu has a level that matches her reputation. She plays very well. Of course, there are no big mistakes. Her emotional expression in details is particularly delicate and full, but she is also flexible enough to stump many masters in a few situations.

The place still shows the smooth flow of clouds and flowing water.

Although piano performance does not seem to require any stage presence, I have to say that people who have been on the international stage are very different. Chen Yu is very elegant, especially when compared with Yu Xinting. She is slightly open when she plays the touching part.

The habit of closing lips to speak silently seems to have become a unique symbol of everyone.

Yu Xinting also kept looking at Chen Yu. After hearing something wonderful, she looked up at Yang Jingxing and found that he was looking at the floor more seriously than she was.

At the end of the song, Chen Yu received the warmest applause of the day. However, she did not thank her. Instead, she looked at today's protagonist like the other students before her, as if she was ready to accept criticism humbly.

After the applause stopped, Yang Jingxing said to Chen Yu: "Thank you, at least we have a good finale today."

Everyone laughed, and Chen Yu also stood up with a smile, half to the audience and half to Yang Jingxing, more elegant than today's amateur host: "Thank you, but I want to hear your opinion."

Yang Jingxing said: "I only dare to speak purely from the perspective of the audience, which is very good."

Chen Yu still laughed along with everyone and encouraged: "Then you should be a good listener, eon, tell me."

Yang Jingxing said to everyone: "There are so many students today. Apart from Yu Xinting and An Xin, the ones I know the most about are Chen Yu, but the ways of understanding them are different. I have listened to Chen Yu's Chopin album, and so many people have commented on it.

I can't tell you anything new... I hope you will get better and better in the future."

Being looked at sincerely by Yang Jingxing, Chen Yu smiled brightly and reached out his hand. After the two shook hands politely, Yang Jingxing thanked him again, and Chen Yu bowed and returned to his seat.

Seeing Yang Jingxing preparing to take his final call, the department head stood up again and said to everyone: "To solve a problem, we must first find the problem. I believe everyone can feel that Yang Jingxing is taking today's exchange very seriously, especially the details he targeted.

It may be something that you usually find difficult to notice. Even master classes may not be so detailed. Today’s exchange meeting can be said to be very good and very successful... Here, on behalf of all the students in the department, I would like to thank Yang Jingxing, and also

Thank you Chen Yu."

Both Yang Jingxing and Chen Yu thanked them, and the department head said: "We will do more of this format in the future. I believe everyone will benefit a lot. Maybe next time it won't be called an exchange meeting, but we will call it Yang Jingxing's master class."

The director also had a sense of humor. Everyone laughed. The director nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Professor Li, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Yingzhen shook her head: "No more."

"Then let's do it." The director sat down.

The host still went to complete the task: "I am very happy that Yang Jingxing's piano exchange meeting was a complete success. Thank you to all the leaders and professors, thank you to all the students, and I wish you all academic progress..."

Everyone had started to prepare to leave. They said it was only half past four, but it was almost six o'clock now. Yang Jingxing followed Li Yingzhen in showing off the guests, but in fact they mainly wanted to accept the praise from the teachers and the congratulations from some classmates.

Yu Xinting and An Xin waited for Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing to finish seeing them off, thinking that Li Yingzhen would definitely lecture them. Chen Yu also waited until the end and greeted Li Yingzhen: "Professor Li, a great teacher produces a great disciple."

Li Yingzhen smiled: "There is progress again, keep working hard."

Chen Yu nodded and confessed: "I have something to say to Yang Jingxing..." Looking at Yang Jingxing: "Am I waiting for you outside?"

Yang Jingxing also nodded: "Okay."

There were only four masters and apprentices left in the room. Li Yingzhen began to summarize and praise: "Xinting, today was not bad. Did you learn anything?"

Yu Xinting nodded.

Li Yingzhen looked at An Xin again: "Yang Jingxing didn't say you were wrong, right?"

An Xin nodded.

Li Yingzhen explained: "If you have this condition, you should take the initiative, ask more and learn more."

An Xin still nodded.

Li Yingzhen looked at Yang Jingxing again, as if scrutinizing it, and after a while she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the attitude I need, and I won't do it without forcing you!"

Yang Jingxing hehe.

Li Yingzhen rarely smiled: "Let's go eat."

When she went out, she found Chen Yu waiting in the corridor. Li Yingzhen didn't say anything and left alone.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Mysterious guest, what's going on?"

Chen Yu smiled a little reproachfully and said, "Can we have a few words alone?"

Yang Jingxing was generous: "If I did anything wrong, just tell me and they will listen."

Chen Yu shook his head and smiled politely: "No." He looked at the two girls beside Yang Jingxing.

An Xin stepped towards the steps, and Yu Xinting followed.

Yang Jingxing remembered: "An Xin, ask Chi Wenrong to have dinner with you tonight?" Chi Wenrong is An Xin's boyfriend.

An Xin looked back and continued downstairs without comment.

When the two met face to face, Chen Yu seemed to smile more than when they first met and said, “That’s wonderful, perfect.”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Are you afraid that people will hear you and say you are confusing right and wrong?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "Seeing is believing. In fact, I had the opportunity to listen to your CD before. Frankly speaking, I didn't believe it at that time."

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't believe it either."

Chen Yu was a little more serious: "It may be a bit sudden, but I have a few concerts in July, do you have time?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I have to go home during the holiday. It's a pity."

Chen Yu smiled slyly: "I want to invite you to be a guest performer."
