Chapter 164 Competition in the Professional Group (2)

.

As soon as Yang Ning finished the first section, Lu Wei frowned slightly.

Some people also call it "Turkish March" "Roundo". The main theme of the general rondo is presented at the beginning or shortly after the beginning of the music, but in this piece, the main part appears after the insertion.

The tunes of the two interludes are very beautiful and beautiful, with a dance rhythm, especially the use of breaking and decorative sounds in the first interlude, which enhances the dynamic and humorous nature of the music.

The problem also appears in the first insert. Mozart is a representative figure of the classical music school. The notation method at that time is different from that now. The most representative thing reflected in this song is the decorative sound at the beginning of each clause in the first insert. Although the decorative sound is marked on the score, the time value should be played as the subsequent notes, and it should be played into a uniform sixteenth note. But it is obvious that Yang Ning's performance is based on the modern decorative sound playing method, and it is played into the time value of the thirty-twoth note, which gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Sure enough, a strange look appeared on Zou Xiang's face. Perhaps most people would not pay much attention to such subtle differences, but it was unbearable for Zou Xiang, who is known for his strictness in piano teaching. Lu Wei looked at Zou Xiang's face and could see a faint look of unhappiness.

After the two inserts were completed, the main part with the characteristics of Turkish military music was bright and majestic. Yang Ning's small hand was obviously not very competent for the octave. Although the overall speed still walked down at the speed of the original song, it was obvious that due to the hand shape, the too-straight big finger and little finger inevitably encountered some other keys, resulting in some dirty sounds.

Yang Ning is very smart and uses more sustain pedals here. The resonance of the piano box somewhat conceals these small problems and makes the piano sound louder. But this method is obviously an undesirable method, and it can also be said to be one of the bad habits of piano playing. Incorrect use of sustain pedals often causes overlap of chords, which makes the piano sound appear chaotic.

Sure enough, when hearing Yang Ning's handling of this paragraph, the judges shook their heads secretly on their faces.

The music is in the second insertion part, and this piece of music is played quickly with sixteenth notes, requiring smoothness and lightness.

With Yang Ning's current skills, it is obvious that he is not very competent for this relatively difficult part. Although he barely walked down at the speed, the music required a lot of smoothness and graininess.

After the performance, as if he knew that he was not playing well, Yang Ning showed a cute smile on his face and bowed to the referee.

However, the audience gave Yang Ning's performance enthusiastic applause. They couldn't hear these minor problems, and they just felt very proud when they heard a song they were familiar with.

Zou Xiang looked at Yang Ning with a smile and said, "How many years have the little girl been learning piano?"

"It's been more than a year." Yang Ning replied crisply.

"Oh. It's OK, it's basically quite complete. But you should work harder in detail. In addition, you should pay attention to the use of the pedal. After stepping, you must put it clean, otherwise the sound will sound very messy."

As Zou Xiang said, Yang Ning kept nodding his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"...You must be perseverant and patient in playing the piano, and proceed step by step. Don't overly high to play music that you cannot do. In addition, you must be slow and meticulous. Pay attention to the requirements of various marks in every detail of the music." Seeing the cute expression of the little girl, Zou Xiang couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Okay, let's conduct a knowledge test. Who are the piano composers and performers who are known as piano poets in the piano world? Tell him about his nationality and list at least two of his main works." Zou Xiang said to a drawing card.

"The piano poet is a country, and his representative works are "Military Dance" and "Nocturne", and his nationality is. Yang Ning slowly thought about it while talking. However, when he arrived at the nationality, he was obviously a little uncertain. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he hesitating: "It's Germany."

Zou Xiang asked: "Are you sure?"

"Confirm", Yang Ning pursed his lips and said quickly.

"Okay, your answer is correct. The piano poet is Chopin. You are also right in your representative work, but there is one thing you answered wrongly. Remember, Chopin is an orchid." Zou Xiang paused for a moment and then focused on it.

"Okay, it doesn't matter. When you go back, you can get to know Chopin well. This is a very great piano composer and performer. By the way, I like him very much." Zou Xiang said with a smile, and then signaled the host to continue the competition.

"Okay, thank you Judge Zou Xiang for your wonderful comments. Next, we will invite the third contestant to the stage." The host continued.

The next two male contestants were from Shijiazhuang Weishi Art Academy, and the piano students of the piano department were significantly higher than the performances of Pang Wenda and Yang Ning. Both of them chose the music that had a professional piano grade 9. One played Bach's "Fifth French Suite" and the other was Chopin's "Fantasy Improvisation". Whether in grasping the overall mood of the song or handling the details, both of them did a good job, and their professional knowledge questions and answers were basically correct, which won warm applause from the audience on the court, and the judges also showed satisfaction on their faces.

It was Li Xiao's turn to play, patted his chest, Li Xiao smiled and said to Lu Wei beside him, "It's so nervous."

Lu Wei said encouragemently: "It's okay, I've arrived at our doorstep, just play it!" Lu Wei said to Li Xiao in an inconsistent Changli accent, which immediately caused Li Xiao to chuckle, and then walked towards the piano with a light step.

After introducing it to everyone, Li Xiao took a look at the stands again, then sat in front of the piano, ready to play.

Lu Wei looked in the direction Li Xiao looked and found that Li Deqian was sitting in the audience, waving at Li Xiao.

As if influenced by Lu Wei's words, or as if encouraged by his father, Li Xiao's expression seemed very relaxed, and his fingers jumped lightly on the keys, bringing out a lively and brisk melody.

Li Xiao played a Chinese-style song "Dry Sky Thunder" in the ninth level. This song is a piano piece transplanted and adapted from the Guangdong music music card "Dry Sky Thunder" in my country. It has strong local music characteristics.

Li Xiao's hands flew up and down on the piano keys, playing very skillfully. The unique liveliness and light rhythm of Guangdong music were expressed very well, fully demonstrating Li Xiao's profound skills in his more than ten years of professional piano career.

Although many people in the audience are parents who accompany their children and have little understanding of piano knowledge, a truly high-level performance can be distinguished even if it does not require too high level. The same piano, compared with the four contestants in front of it, is like two pianos playing. The sound under Li Xiao’s fingers are clear, condensed but not dispersed, and loud but not dry, which makes people feel very comfortable. Especially the flowing arpeggios that occasionally add to the light rhythm in the middle are even more rich in Chinese style, as if an ink painting was presented to everyone.

When Lu Wei graduated in his previous life, he saw Li Xiao performing as a special guest at the Changshi party. His level at that time was shocking Lu Wei, who was still at the level of playing Clayderman, was shocked. Lu Wei still remembered that the song Li Xiao played at that time was "Wild Bee Flying". Although it was not a difficult and skillful song, it was a song with quick running notes from beginning to end. His fingers were moving, making Lu Wei in the audience dazzled, and he felt that he would be content if he could practice to such a level in his life. Even now, Lu Wei stood at a height higher than Li Xiao to see Li Xiao's performance, and he still felt very outstanding, with a professional smell everywhere.

As expected, as soon as Li Xiao's performance ended, thunderous applause rang out from the audience. Master Chang also had many Li Xiao's music fans, who stood up and shouted loudly: "Li Xiao, Li Xiao!" The atmosphere was very warm.

Zou Xiang showed a look of praise. After the atmosphere at the scene calmed down a little, he said, "It's very good to play. I saw that you are from the Affiliated Middle School of Tianjin Conservatory of Music."

"Yes," Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Do you know Teacher Zhou Li?" Zou Xiang asked.

"Director Zhou is now the head teacher of our class and also my piano teacher." When Zou Xiang mentioned his piano teacher, Li Xiao showed a very respectful look.

"No wonder I see that your style of playing the piano is a bit similar to him. It's good, and it's very good. The song Hantian Lei is a Guangdong music-style song. You have a good grasp of your emotions. This is rare." After commenting, Zou Xiang started a professional knowledge test. This time it was a test question about the history of Chinese music. Li Xiao showed her profound knowledge base and answered very well. Seeing the satisfied expression on the faces of the judges, Lu Wei knew that Li Xiao's score in this round must be the highest among the previous people.
