Chapter 456 Beyond(2/2)
Shang Haokun still remembered to ask Li Yingzhen: "Professor, can I play?"
Li Yingzhen nodded: "This opportunity is rare, senior brother, please listen to me."
In order to avoid resonance, Shang Haokun asked to move a piano. At this time, the parent reached out quickly: "I'll come, I'll come, my hands are the least valuable, haha..."
An Xin reminded: "Be gentle, slow down...we will push it ourselves!"
After preparations were made, the children played Bach's Well-Tempered Overture and Fugue in B flat major. It was not a virtuosic piece, but it was very demanding on the performers.
For Shang Haokun's age, he plays very well. When some teachers teach students, they will say that a little talent is not enough, your talent must be one out of a hundred. Shang Haokun's performance is outstanding, even if
He plays his best music, and his combined skills and musicality can earn him the title of genius, almost at the undergraduate level.
For nearly ten minutes, Yang Jingxing stood and listened carefully to the music. Shang Haokun played also seriously, and his movements and expressions showed a temperament and momentum that most children don't have. He is an artist.
After listening, Yang Jingxing applauded: "That's great, you played so well."
Shang Haokun, who was still immersed in the music, looked up at Yang Jingxing as a response.
The parents were very proud: "It's not bad, right? I learned from a British teacher from the age of four. When the teacher returned to China, I couldn't bear to leave him. I really wanted to take him to the UK."
Yang Jingxing praised: "The teacher must be very good."
The parents were even more proud: “For graduates from the Royal Conservatory of Music, there were more than ten people interviewing us, and we chose them over and over…”
Yang Jingxing smiled brighter than An Xin: "You made the right choice. How long have you been studying with Professor Li?"
Shang Haokun answered himself: "More than half a year ago, I joined the class this semester, and now I should say last semester."
Yang Jingxing asked: "Do you have a favorite pianist?"
Shang Haokun thought for a while and said: "Kempf, Rubinstein can do it, but he's not very smart..."
An Xin laughed, and Yang Jingxing also encouraged: "You have taste. What's your favorite Kempf work?"
As expected, Shang Haokun said: "Beethoven, Sonata."
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, as a senior brother, I want to give you some confidence. You didn't know me before, right?"
Shang Haokun shook his head, seeming to acknowledge Yang Jingxing's arrogance and arrogance, and said, "The professor told me so."
Yang Jingxing said: "I am one of Professor Li's least famous students. Can you listen to a piece of music played and compare it with Kempf's to see Professor Li's teaching level?"
Shang Haokun nodded happily: "Okay." He stood up and offered his seat.
The parents first complimented Yang Jingxing: "You are so much older, so your level must be higher than my son's."
Yang Jingxing smiled shamelessly: "Brothers, let's talk about the same generation." He then asked Shang Haokun: "Which one by Kempf is your favorite?"
Shang Haokun thought: "Sonata? Everyone likes...Moonlight, right?" Aren't many people saying that Kempf's Moonlight is unrivaled?
Yang Jingxing asked again: "What movement is it?"
Li Yingzhen taught: "Play it completely, Haokun has a great sense of music!"
An Xin and Yu Xinting chose to sit closer to Yang Jingxing, not taking care of their junior brother at all.
Li Yingzhen also cared about her young apprentice: "Listen carefully."
Yang Jingxing started to play. Since it was to give him confidence, he had to use Kempf's style. Of course, he also made slight changes or improvements. It would be better to make mistakes in notes and so on, so he would not follow suit.
In the first movement, the music is very gentle, but the expressions are rich, but Yang Jingxing's expression is much calmer and quieter, but the dance on his fingers seems to be very particular.
Li Yingzhen and the two girls listened attentively, but Shang Haokun's mother didn't seem to like this very much, and just paid more attention to her son's expression. Shang Haokun seemed to be an old monk in meditation, sitting there motionless, even his eyes were fixed on the piano panel.
like a statue.
Entering the second movement, no one else changed their posture, but Shang Haokun really had an extraordinary sense of music. He actually shook his head and even moved his eyebrows and ears.
During the short break before the third movement, the parents praised Li Yingzhen: "It's very good."
Li Yingzhen ignored it.
Soon after the third movement, Yang Jingxing still looked expressionless, and An Xin and Yu Xinting were a little entranced. But Shang Haokun showed an extraordinary side of genius, and soon his body began to tremble, and then he closed his eyes.
With his eyes raised, he raised his wrist and danced his fingers quickly, as if he was playing the piano.
The parents admired their son's extraordinary talent, and as senior sisters, An Xin and Yu Xinting did not laugh at their younger brother's insanity as an artist who was not suitable for his age.
At the wonderful ending of the third movement, Yang Jingxing handled it more seriously than Kempf. After the end, his face immediately changed, and he asked Shang Haokun, who was still closing his eyes and looking up to the sky, very unconfidently: "How was it?"
Shang Haokun shook his neck before opening his eyes. He still clasped his hands together and rubbed them in front of him. Then he clenched his fists and bumped them together. He stared at Yang Jingxing without saying a word.
The parent gently reminded: "Son, I said that my senior brother plays well."
Shang Haokun asked Yang Jingxing: "How old are you this year?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Almost twenty."
Shang Haokun said: "I am not yet eleven years old. In ten years, I will definitely be no worse than you."
Yang Jingxing criticized his younger brother in front of his parents: "You are so unambitious. In ten years, you will be much better than me. How long will it take me to learn from Professor Li? Moreover, playing the piano is not a competition, just surpass yourself."
Li Yingzhen praised the parents: "I have a strong appreciation and understanding, and I am not blind. I haven't noticed this before."
Shang Haokun suddenly made a pistol gesture towards Yang Jingxing and said aggressively: "I want to surpass you!"
An Xin and Yu Xinting both laughed, and so did Li Yingzhen: "It's good to have this ambition."
Shang Haokun expressed his determination to Li Yingzhen again: "Professor, I will be more serious and hardworking in the future. Please teach me well!"
Li Yingzhen smiled: "I teach them well."
Yang Jingxing began to sympathize again: "It's a lot of fun. The professor is old and can't teach you all day long."
Shang Haokun asked Yang Jingxing: "Are you in class?"
Yang Jingxing became stingy: "If you surpass me, I won't teach you."
Shang Haokun nodded angrily: "I remember, you wait!"
Now everyone started laughing, and Li Yingzhen explained to her parents: "He is like this. He likes to joke, so just pretend he didn't hear him."
