sent Fang Xiaoyu away, and the art examination of Huaguo Academy ended on the same day.

The campus outside the 309 window has also been restored to what it should be during a school holiday.

Qin Jian's life also returned to a normal quiet rhythm, spending every day practicing the piano, translating literature, and listening to records.

Open the room to take a shower the next day, occasionally go out for a stroll after the busy work, watch a video with Duan Ran before going to bed, or ask about the progress of Ye Yi's foreign art examination, and when the interest comes, he will open a can of beer in the middle of the night and sit in front of the piano to play jazz.

A person's small life is also extraordinarily nourishing.

Fang Xiaoyu called him the day after he went home, and on the phone, Fang Xiaoyu asked him if he needed to maintain a certain amount of piano practice time during the cram culture class, Qin Jian told her that she didn't need to touch the piano again before the end of the high school entrance examination, and told her to just concentrate on her homework and sprint to 600 points.

"You don't have to worry about professional certifications. ”

Qin Jian's words of guaranteeing the ticket also gave Fang Xiaoyu's family a reassurance.

Of course, he said this sentence is not groundless, on the night of the end of the piano retest, Shen Qingci personally called him, and the tone on the phone was very clear.

"Let your children prepare for cultural lessons. ”

The dean of the piano department of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music has spoken, so can it be bad?

In addition, in the matter of practicing the piano, since discovering the subtleties of chord playing hidden under the harmony, Qin Jian began to experiment vigorously.

He used Stoff's style as a model, and tried to find this chord style in the performances of other judges, and through this series of attempts, he discovered that not all Polish pianists use this chord method based on dynamic proportions.

Especially as a judge of this Xiao Competition, Lafat Branhano.

Branhano doesn't play the chords with the distribution of the fingers, he goes straight down, and the power of each note is almost equal.

For this reason, Qin Jian also spent two days studying the other party's performance, Branhano as an authentic Polish, his performance does not lack the unique national customs of the Poles, but there is a trace of indescribable stereotypes.

But this stereotype will give a strong memory point and sound with a distinctly individualistic style.

Branhano's treatment is the exact opposite of his contemporary, Shen Qingci.

By watching the video of the preliminary round of the 15th Chopin Competition ten years ago, Qin Jian can clearly feel that Shen Qingci's performance style at that time has already had the shadow of today. He uses the style of the French school as the keynote, and then incorporates a lot of personal emotion, coupled with strong finger technique, and the music flows with wild imagination

It's just a pity that these two different styles of playing did not come to a real head-to-head battle in the 15th finals.

As a result, some commentators later said that Shen Qingci's temporary withdrawal had greatly disgraced Branhano's championship trophy.

But it must be admitted that Branciano's playing style is extremely difficult to imitate.

In the past few days, Qin Jian has suffered a lot in this regard, and he always can't grasp the opportunity for Branhano to appear in a stereotype.

Even if he played the same note in the same position as Branhano at the same tempo, Bran showed that kind of memory point that could make a strong impression, and Qin Jian was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.

Qin Jian did not depict every judge with the mentality of punching in all of them, but in the actual situation, as Shen Qingci said, what they played was - Chopin.

Although they are different, they are all Chopin.

This sounds a bit mysterious, but it is easy to understand that they all have the spirit of the Polish people in their performances.

This kind of spirit is not found in Chopin's hand position formula, and the latest content of the hand position formula, 'elastic velocity', is the next stage.

...

The week went by.

At noon on Monday of the new week, after Qin Jian finished his early morning practice, he took the initiative to call Shen Qingci.

He felt that he should let the other party hear the results of his practice.

After the two agreed to meet at 13:30 in the afternoon, Qin Jian left 309.

Today he will perform seven versions of Chopin's works for Shen Qingci, including etudes, nocturnes, ballades, and a short sonata.

...

At 13:30 in the afternoon, Qin Jian started playing in front of the Steinway and Sons in the living room on time.

In order, he played the 12 pieces in a coherent and complete manner.

It took 40 minutes.

During this period, Shen Qingci sat on the sofa without the slightest interruption and did not smoke.

Let Qin Jian talk from beginning to end.

When it was over, he came to the piano: "Let's talk about it." ”

Qin Jian pondered for a moment, and then said: "Every Polish performer has its own characteristics, which I don't think can be explained by simple analysis, for example, Harvey's first ballade is played in a softer way, and at the same speed, Carriacon's performance is much more powerful, from the overall nature of the music, they are all expressed in a third-person statement, which may be related to their age, but there is a surprising sense of consistency in the spiritual connotation of the music." ”

After a pause, he added a conclusion: "It's like two sides of the same hand." ”

Shen Qingci: "Is there anything else?"

Qin Jian thought for a moment and continued: "Purely from the point of view of imitation, I think that a foreigner can hardly express the real Polish taste. ”

Qin Jian didn't use 'difficult,' but directly used it can't.

This is his perception in recent days, and a few days ago he recorded a chant of escape.

By the end of the live performance, he almost felt like he had reached the same point as Storf, but when he listened to the recording two days later, he found it easy to tell which one he was playing.

Moment.

Shen Qingci lit a cigarette.

"Qin Jian, do you know what is the most important content in musical expression?"

Qin Jian wasn't quite exact, "Information?"

Shen Qingci was a little surprised by Qin Jian's answer, he nodded: "The information can be about the personality of a performer, the expression of the cultural background of a performer, and the exploration and expression of a performer's possibilities for Chopin. ”

"Possibility?" Qin Jian tried to grasp the point of this sentence.

"It's a possibility. ”

Shen Qingci affirmed: "In fact, the Poles are also seeking an innovative interpretation of Chopin. ”

"In addition to some very interesting renditions that came out today, they wanted to see more paradoxes. ”

...

"Paradox?"

Qin Jian frowned again.
