Chapter 336 Reason(1/2)

After teaching Yu Xinting and An Xin a lesson, Li Yingzhen said that the new music should be studied slowly in the future. Today, the focus is still on the concert in the evening. She said that going to see other people's scenery should also be an inspiration to the two girls.

Yang Jingxing also wanted to see He Hongchui and Gong Xiaoling, and hoped that the teacher would review the two-piano sonata just like handing in homework.

He Hongchui's comment after watching it for more than ten minutes was: "I'm very relieved that you are not proud and satisfied. That's how it should be. Don't be surrounded by flowers and honors."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I haven't received flowers or honors yet."

He Hong smiled: "It's better if you have big ambitions. How is it in the company?"

Yang Jingxing said: "At the beginning, I was still slowly getting used to it. It's not like there are teachers in school who care about me."



Gong Xiaoling first cared about Yang Jingxing's life, asking what he was doing when he went home, what were his friends' grades... and suggested that since he was home, he should take a good rest and relax.

Regarding the new work, Gong Xiaoling seemed very modest and said with a smile: "Last time, the piano department took the lead. Director He should take the lead this time. We will take our time to see how it works. I believe you will not be satisfied with the status quo."

After seeing the teacher, Yang Jingxing went to the north building to find Yu Xinting and the others. The two girls had already moved the electric piano in room 402 to room 204, and started playing against the sheet music printed in Li Yingzhen's office.

Yang Jingxing suggested: "Don't be so impatient. If you are interested, just play together."

Yu Xinting said: "Both An Xin and I think the third movement is the best."

Yang Jingxing laughed: "It doesn't sound good, I'm afraid you won't like it."

An Xin said bluntly: "Emotions are not as complicated as C-sharp, and there are many skills."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "That's why I asked you to be an etude."

An Xin added: "It's more popular and sounds better."

What An Xin said is true. If you have to compare, this two-piano piece does not have the continuous and wonderful musical thoughts in "It's Us" to constantly surprise people, nor is it like "Sonata in C sharp minor"

The kind of rich and profound emotional expression that even teachers dare not assert.

This "Sonata for Two Pianos in B Major" focuses more on performance skills and simple melodiousness. Technically, it is more comprehensive and more difficult than C sharp, but in terms of melodious music, it is much clearer and more straightforward than "This Is Us", which can also be said to be superficial.

One melody after another in "It's Us" can make professional and laypersons marvel and envy, but this double piano song is just pleasant to listen to, and it doesn't have such a strong sense of surprise or shock.

Although it is not as good as the previous two works, this two-piano piece is rigorous in composition. It is not about piecing together various sound patterns for the sake of playing skills, but more like skillfully integrating various playing techniques into a relaxed and pleasant melody.

Yes, there are still some innovations.

After listening to Yang Jingxing's own analysis, Yu Xinting felt a lot more relaxed: "I thought so, but I wasn't sure."

An Xin struck: “But it’s not necessarily easier to play than c sharp.”

Yu Xinting asked: "Is hers more difficult than mine?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's almost the same. It's difficult. I haven't had a chance to play well yet. Which one of you will come first?"

An Xin modestly said, "You play first."

Yu Xinting was not polite, she sat down and got ready.

Yang Jingxing threatened: "I won't wait, follow."

An Xin remembered: "Wait a minute, I'm recording."

So Yu Xinting played the upright piano and Yang Jingxing played the electric piano, so they cooperated first. An Xin helped Yu Xinting translate the music, but Yang Jingxing didn't need it.

Of course, Yang Jingxing played fluently, but Yu Xinting was flustered from the beginning. She could barely pass some familiar sound patterns and techniques, but she would become confused when encountering unfamiliar ones.

An Xin seemed to be a clear observer. While flipping through the music score, she would remind Yu Xinting to pay attention to the existing markings in the music score and the parts that the performer needs to understand, which made Yu Xinting even more busy.

From this, we can feel that Yang Jingxing put a lot of effort into the coordination and unity between the two pianos when composing this two-piano piece. As far as Yu Xinting's level is concerned, even if it is the first time to sight-read a new piece of music that is somewhat difficult,

It's not that uncomfortable, but every time she has a rare experience of the beautiful tacit understanding between the two pianos, and then her musical experience takes a turn for the worse due to her own mistakes, the mistake caused by the lack of coordination simply turns into a disaster.

Even with sight-reading, Yu Xinting still made a lot of mistakes, even mispronouncements, especially the legato and fast arpeggios that were directed at her. The rhythm was messed up, and she completely lost the level of a Puyin undergraduate student.

The music was bumpy and staggering along the way. It was not a particularly physical piece, but after more than twenty minutes, Yu Xinting was still sweating.

Fortunately, there is a good ending, because the notes of the two pianos in the last section of the song are exactly the same. It is a particularly brilliant unison, full of power and hope.

After playing the last few chords with her arms, Yu Xinting looked up to the sky and started crying: "I don't want to play anymore. We played better before than this time. You speeded up on purpose!"

An Xin smiled: "No, it should have been so fast."

Yu Xinting was unconvinced: "Come here!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Wipe off the sweat."

Yu Xinting also had to warm up when turning over scores. After An Xin sat down, she started recording again and then started. After changing the role, Yang Jingxing was still relaxed and comfortable. An Xin, unlike Yu Xinting, did not have the alternate expression of laughter, pride, complaint and irritation on her face.

, but has been highly focused, almost without blinking, let alone taking the time to glance at Yang Jingxing.

An Xin played very well, and the tacit understanding between the two pianos almost doubled this time, and the beauty of the music was also expressed even more.

Yu Xinting was also infected and became focused, staring at the music score as if trying to remember her feelings.

At the end, An Xin's strength was compared to Xin Ting's, and her body was shaken to the point of sweat flying. Her expression was almost like a human being and a piano.

After finishing playing, An Xin also looked at Yang Jingxing and smiled at each other.

Yu Xinting had a very loud reason: "She just heard you play and she already knows it."

An Xin blurted out: "Come again!" and laughed again.

Yang Jingxing protested: "You want to exhaust me to death. It's four o'clock. You go back and get ready. We'll have dinner together at 5:30 and we'll set off."

Yu Xinting asked: "Where to eat?"

Yang Jingxing said: "We don't have much time, so let's go to the canteen."

An Xin asked: "Do you want to prepare anything?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Buy a bouquet of flowers... you pay for it."

Yu Xinting also asked: "Should we invite Kong Chenhe to eat with us?"

An Xin doubted: "It doesn't matter."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's best to go together. Just leave the piano here. If it breaks, I'll ask you to pay for it."

Yu Xinting said: "I will move it up when it is not in use."

At about five o'clock, Yu Xinting and An Xin took Kong Chenhe to 402 again. Yu Xinting and An Xin both changed into nice-looking clothes, and their faces and heads were dry.

Yu Xinting explained: "Kong Chenhe has always wanted to come...she also wants to join the society."

Yang Jingxing laughed: "In order to welcome the new members, isn't it time to organize some activities? The deputy leader will arrange it."

Yu Xinting was anxious: "Ah, I can't."

Yang Jingxing said: "Just eat and sing, what's wrong? An Xin and Kong Chenhe can help you."

Kong Chenhe begged Yu Xinting: "Deputy leader, please take me in. I promise not to embarrass the club and not to make any merit or hard work..."

An Xin said: "I think the 402 Club exists in name only. We can just play together. What kind of club do we join...I don't know many of the people."

Yang Jingxing said: "This is my responsibility... When the music festival is over, we will look for opportunities to socialize with 306."

An Xin laughed out loud: "Of course you want to!" Then she said more gently: "How to make friends?"

Kong Chenhe raised his hand in support: "Eat and sing."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "It's definitely inevitable. It's still early. You should think about it again."

Yu Xinting took Kong Chenhe to visit 402. Kong Chenhe was not very interested in the drum set and asked: "Where is the trumpet?"

The trumpet was hidden in the box, and Yang Jingxing took it out generously for Kong Chenhe to play with.

Kong Chenhe couldn't put it down: "It's really different at the performance level, and the sound must be amazing!"

Yang Jingxing was very generous: "Try it and wipe the mouthpiece clean."

Kong Chenhe chuckled: "I don't know how, I just like to listen." He half-stretched his hand and pointed the trumpet toward Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing took the trumpet mouthpiece and mute and asked, "What do you want to hear?"

Kong Chenhe was delighted: "We share the same journey through thick and thin, the original version!"

An Xin said: "Without piano, there is no effect."

Yu Xinting was very loyal to her friend: "I'll go down and get it, I can play it."

Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it today, let's change it."

Kong Chenhe confirmed: "Anything is fine?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I won't change it again."

Kong Chenhe was sly: "The wild bee is flying?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Change."

Kong Chenhe was more sincere: "Blow whatever you want."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Blow one and see if you can hear it."

When Yang Jingxing started, the three girls all laughed. Isn't it the melody of Cardamom? Now even Puyin's dormitory aunt can hear this song.

However, the girls soon stopped laughing because Yang Jingxing played very seriously, with a slightly slower and gentler rhythm than the song.
To be continued...
