May 27, 2:30 pm Vienna time.

Qin Jian and his wife had just returned to the hotel from eating out.

Early in the morning, the two of them set off to Schönbrunn Palace, and then set off from Schönbrunn Palace to St. Stephen's Cathedral.

During this period, he also took a trip to the Brahms Memorial Hall, where Qin Jian bought more than 30 CDs of various types.

After leaving St. Stephen's Cathedral, Qin Jian proposed a trip to the House of Figaro. At the memorial hall next to the House of Figaro, he bought all the original scores of Mozart's operas with edition numbers visible.

Come down.

This is necessary.

When I returned to the house, I spread the morning's harvest on the bed.

"36 CDs."

"27 sets of operas."

Great satisfaction.

After taking a shower, Qin Jian went to bed and opened Chris' piano space again.

After last night's game, the reserve of worship points has exceeded the 50,000 mark.

This also provides a certain guarantee for some of the things he will do next.

"Mystery Card."

"Chris's Intermediate Guide to Piano."

Looking at the two new things in his backpack, Qin Jian was very satisfied.

Especially the latter.

This is not the first time he has obtained the former. He has suffered losses and been deceived before. Regardless of the result, at least for now, he does not need to risk opening it.

So after just playing with it for a while, he threw it into the corner again.

Looking at the intermediate guide, Qin Jian smiled.

If the beginner guide is an encyclopedia of piano knowledge, then after browsing through the chapter list last night, Qin Jian could preliminarily conclude that the intermediate guide is a performance manual.

It involves nine chapters.

However, Qin Jian can only see the first six chapter names at present.

They are the division of timbre, playing techniques, articulation and phrase division, timing details, and the meaning of pedals.

The remaining three chapter names are still question marks.

At first glance, they were all very clichéd terms and nouns, but after Qin Jian read the first few sentences of the first chapter, he knew that Chris would not let him down.

...

The next second.

A white light flashed with a 'swish' sound.

The purple scroll flew up out of thin air and unfolded.

Qin Jian continued reading where he had read yesterday.

"Generally speaking, light lateral movements of the wrist along the contours of the melody will give the performance a very natural expression."

While Qin Jian watched, he moved his fingers on his smooth abdominal muscles and felt them.

"Using a gentle, rising wrist motion at the end of each phrase will make it sound soft and memorable."

As the fingers moved, a numb and itchy feeling came from the abdomen.

This method is somewhat interesting.

"However, this kind of small wrist rotation is obviously inappropriate in works with passionate tunes. Such processing will make the music sound too gentle, and its own strong personality will be lost."

"So when dealing with another type of work with a big style..."

...

Forty minutes later.

.......

"As a rule, a competent performer should strive to love scales and arpeggios on a daily basis. This is the most basic element in the study of eighteenth-century repertoire."

Qin Jian already had some profound understanding of this point of agreement.

"All scales and arpeggios begin randomly from any of the twelve tones.... The exploration of the entire scale ends with playing diatonic and chromatic scales in parallel octavesj j."

"In terms of arpeggios, I suggest using a chord pattern, all based on the same note - major triad, minor triad, major sixth chord, minor sixth chord..."

"Practice three types of arpeggios: long, short, and decomposed, using both parallel and reverse forms."

Seeing this, Qin Jian lowered his gaze to the bottom.

[Reading completion level 11.4%]

Then closed the panel.

That’s all I’ve read for now, a lot of the content imprinted in my mind needs to be digested through practice.

According to some of the practice methods provided by Chris, they can also be applied to the musical examples given to him by Shen Qingci.

I think it should also produce some good effects.

However, unlike in the past, looking at Chris's guide now, Qin Jian admits that most of the content is still the essence, which has brought him an extension in his playing thinking.

But there are also a small number of things that he doesn't quite agree with.

For example, regarding the extension and contraction of hand positions, Chris emphasized that every player should stretch and contract as much as possible.

However, in Qin Jian's view, different people have different hand shapes and sizes, and even the length of their wrists, so individual cases should be analyzed in detail.

As Chris once said, more than half of all musicians have their own playing habits.

Everyone has his own opinion.

It's harmless.

Questioning is also a good attitude.

...

The phone rings.

"lets go?"

"Wait for me and change my clothes."

After throwing away the phone, Qin Jian unpacked his luggage and put on a relatively formal outfit.

There is an important dinner tonight, which Liao Linjun informed him in the morning.

After finishing dressing up, Qin Jian opened the door.

Duan Ran was leaning against the wall of the corridor and playing with her mobile phone. She was wearing a cool little black suit jacket that made her look particularly capable.

only...

"When did you become myopic?"

Looking curiously at the silver-rimmed glasses on Duan Ran's nose, Qin Jian smiled curiously.

"How about it?"

Duan Ran's little head shook, and his short side-parted hair flowed to one side, revealing his side face, and then he stretched out a green-white finger to push up the mirror.

"Hey, am I handsome today?"

"Very cool." Qin Jian clicked his lips in a critical tone and closed the door with his backhand.

"Hahaha."

Duan Ran laughed, took off his glasses, and explained: "This is a flat mirror. It has no prescription and is just a decoration."

"If you don't believe me, try it." He walked up to Qin Jian and put his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Then he took two steps back, looked up and down, and said disdainfully: "Tsk, tsk, you are such a gentle beast."

"...Okay, okay, stop making trouble, let's go quickly, don't be late."

Qin Jian said, taking off his glasses and bringing them to the other person's face.

"Set off."

...

"Then do you think I'm handsome today?"

"How did I find that you are so narcissistic?"

"Did you just find out?"

"Just found out."

"So am I handsome today?"
