Chapter 111: At the recital, lethargy
After a brief meal, Strauss pulled Lu Yao to the piano to discuss piano composition with him.
The so-called creative discussion, in fact, is mainly to ask: Lu Yao, what is the background of your two songs?
A piano piece usually has a specific creative background.
The performer must understand the background of the composition, so that he can understand what kind of thoughts and feelings he wants to express and how he should play the piece.
Chopin's Revolutionary Etudes, for example, were composed against the backdrop of the crushing defeat of the Warsaw Revolution in Poland in 1831 under the suppression of Tsarist Russia.
This piece of music is sad and indignant, the melody suddenly rises, suddenly falls sharply, and makes a violent roar, like a fierce horse fighting and galloping in the waves of emotion, the music is full of fortitude, strength and fearless heroism, and embodies the indomitable cry and struggle of the Polish people.
Although Lu Yao is not the original creator of "Zhong" and "He is a pirate", this does not prevent him from speaking fluently about the background of these two pieces - because he has already memorized the background when he practiced these two pieces.
“…… Pirates sail the seas, free and unobtrusive.
As the saying goes: nothing can organize a man to run to the sea!
Therefore, "He is a pirate" expresses an infinite desire for freedom. ”
Strauss nodded frequently.
"Where is the confusion!"
“?”
"Oh, I'm talking in Japanese, 'I see!'" Strauss said, "Mr. Lu, now, now that I understand the background, how about I play these two pieces to you again?"
"Listen up!"
Strauss slowly got on the piano.
A song "Bell" and a song "He is a pirate", under his dexterous fingers, perfectly interpreted.
Lu Yao and Xu Xian couldn't help but indulge in the sound of his piano.
He is an internationally renowned pianist.
The sound of the piano stops.
"You two, tomorrow I will have a piano recital at the Yanjing Concert Hall, you must come!"
Strauss said earnestly.
"Definitely, definitely!"
Back at the villa, the two were still immersed in Strauss's masterful performance.
"A master is a master, and sure enough, there are still many things we have to learn from him!" Lu Yao said with emotion.
Xu Xian nodded in agreement.
But soon, she shook her head frantically: "It's okay to learn something else, but don't learn from him to pick up girls!"
"???Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course I'm talking about piano skills!" Besides," Lu Yao said, "On pickle girls, he should learn from me!"
“…… Pharmacy Bilian, you!"
……
Midnight.
Lu Yao couldn't sleep.
Strauss's performance shook him.
He was aware of the gap.
The piano is something that needs to be practiced.
If you don't practice for a day, you know, if you don't practice for a week, your peers will know, and if you don't practice for a month, the audience will know.
In the past few months, he has been busy filming and has not touched the piano at all.
So when he ate in the restaurant, he didn't dare to show ugliness.
No, you have to hurry up and hold the Buddha's feet temporarily!
Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light!
What if Strauss got up on the spur of the day at tomorrow's recital and pulled him up to perform?
Thinking of this, he jerked up the quilt and ran to the piano in the living room wearing only his autumn clothes and pants.
In order to avoid disturbing Xu Xian and the others to sleep, he stepped on the muted pedal.
Running to practice in the middle of the night, who gave him the courage?
There is no doubt that it was Liang Jingru who gave "Courage".
"Finally made this decision
From now on, I will practice every day
"Beye", "Hanon", "Lemmon", "Czerny"
I know that scale arpeggios have to be practiced,
I know it's not easy to persevere.
My heart has always been warm to convince myself
Learning the piano is most afraid of saying that you have to give up
……”
After playing and singing the practice version of "Courage", he began to practice the basic skills frantically.
After two hours of basic exercises, he revisited each piece of music that he had played in his mind.
Before you know it, the sky has turned white.
He finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to sleep.
When he was woken up by Xu Xian, he realized that something was wrong.
Although he didn't forget to wear autumn pants last night, on a cold winter night, it was obviously not enough to practice the piano in autumn clothes and pants.
A cold and fever are punishments for him.
"Hurry up and eat, I'm going to be late!" Xu Xian, who was frantically pulling breakfast at the dinner table, urged, and then saw his dark circles under his eyes: "You haven't slept well, haven't ......you slept well?"
"Anyway, I heard the piano last night. Xue Jingshu said.
"Didn't you, I heard it too!" Xu Pan said, "Last night I got up to go to the toilet, passing by the hall, it was dark and rumbling, I couldn't see anyone, just hearing the piano kept ringing, I thought I was hallucinating!"
"I heard it too!" Li Yun also raised her hand.
Several people looked at each other.
"Isn't it? We're haunted here?"
"It's not haunted, it's me practicing. Lu Yao said weakly, "I've already stepped on the weak sound pedal, but I didn't expect to disturb everyone's rest, I'm really sorry!"
Still, it looks like I've been punished......"
"It turned out that you did a good deed!" Xu Pan said angrily. "I'm scared to death, see if I don't ...... Oops, you smashed your brother?"
Looking at Lu Yao, who was slowly falling, several people panicked.
Xue Jingshu touched his forehead and instantly retracted: "It's so hot!
"It turns out that the punishment for practicing the piano in the middle of the night is this?" Xu Xian was helpless: "It seems that you can't attend Mr. Strauss's recital." ”
"No, you can't be absent!" Hearing the recital, Lu Yao sat up in shock from his dying illness, "Celestial Dynasty man, how can you not believe in your words?"
“…… But what if you go? Can you listen to it?"
"Listen!"
"Okay then, take some medicine first, and I'll take you to the hospital when the concert is over!"
In this way, the two rushed to Strauss's concert with masks.
Strauss's Sky Symphony is one of the most famous pieces in this world.
The song lives up to its name.
Although the theme of several movements is the sky, some are gentle and soothing, like the warm sun of spring, some are impassioned, like the clear sky after a storm in the middle of summer, sometimes bleak, like autumn, sometimes harsh, like winter.
For those who know how to appreciate, each has its own merits.
But for people who don't have much music appreciation, it's a different kind.
The warm sun of spring is suitable for spring sleep;
A summer sky is clear, and a nap is perfect for you;
Autumn sky? very tired, let's take a nap;
If you don't hibernate at this time, when will you wait?
Lu Yao shouldn't have been like this.
But he had a fever.
So in the end, he couldn't resist the sleepiness.
Until Xu Xian shook him awake.
"Lu Yao, Monsieur Strauss called you!" she whispered anxiously.
He struggled to open his eyelids.
On stage, Strauss laughed awkwardly.
Offstage, the audience whispered.
"Who is this guy wearing a mask?"
"I don't know, I heard from Mr. Strauss, and said that I met a little friend at the flower planter?"
"What kind of friend is this? Cheering on a friend's concert, and actually falling asleep listening to it?"
"Alas, at first glance, it's a coarse man who hasn't studied music, and it's time to buy a ticket and pretend to be elegant!"
"That's it, I've seen a lot of this kind of person, dressed like a dog, pretending to be a high-class person, what piano recital, violin recital, not a single one.
Actually, I don't understand the! I fell asleep when I listened to it!"
"Haha, my ex-boyfriend is like this, I told him to listen more to elegant art, which can cultivate his sentiments, but every time he comes, he sleeps, and I am so angry that I have to dump him!"
For a moment, the gaze that looked at him was full of contempt.
"Little friend, give me a face, come up and put on a show, right?" Strauss laughed dryly.
