Chapter 4: The Bell
"How else?"
Lu Yao smiled, and was about to continue joking, when suddenly his ears moved slightly.
"Where's the piano sound?"
"Someone is playing the piano in the hall downstairs, right? Since the owner of the piano factory had a successful operation in our hospital and sent the piano to the piano pendulum there, there have often been people showing off there. ”
The nurse replied.
Piano in the hospital lobby?
It sounds a little weird, but that's not the point.
Here's the point: it's a good tune.
And it's a tune that Lu Yao has never heard.
He couldn't help but be curious.
"Where are you going?
Seeing him walking out, the nurse hurriedly asked.
"I'll eat it later. The more Lu Yao listened, the more interested he became.
The little nurse probably couldn't understand the excitement of a music lover hearing a good piece.
Two minutes later, he came downstairs to the hall.
At this point, the song I had just heard was nearing its end.
The piece ends just as he struggles to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and arrives near the performer.
The performer stands up gracefully and bows slightly to the audience.
It was a graceful girl with long hair, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, willow eyebrows and cherry blossoms, a typical oriental beauty.
The onlookers put down their mobile phones and applauded warmly.
"That's so good!"
"One more song!"
“……”
The girl smiled slightly, and did not pay attention to the cries of the audience, but picked up the bag that was placed on the piano bench and turned to leave.
Lu Yao walked in front of her with a brisk walk.
"I'm sorry, beauty. Your piece was so good that I just listened to the intro and fell into it. What's the name of this piece?"
The girl frowned and looked at Lu Yao, who looked like a mummy, with a look of disgust on her face.
Seeing this expression, Lu Yao knew that the other party had misunderstood.
"Beauty, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to talk, I really just want to know the name of this song! ”
The girl looked him up and down.
"So, you can play the piano?"
"A little bit of it, a little bit of it. Lu Yao said modestly: "I studied for a few years when I was a child. ”
An elusive look appeared on the girl's face.
"Since you know how to play the piano, so be it: you go play a tune, and when you're done, I'll tell you what the name of the piece I'm playing. She clasped her hands to her chest and looked playful, "In addition, I have one request: the level of the song you play cannot be lower than the one I play!"
Lu Yao smiled dumbly.
After talking for a long time, I still doubted that I was going to talk to him.
This is to prove that he has the strength to play this piece.
"You can't seem to move your hand, though?" the girl frowned and looked at his arm.
"Oh, it's okay, the hand is not broken, you can play!"
Lu Yao said as he approached the piano and adjusted the position of the piano bench slightly.
Sitting on the piano bench, he began to recall the tunes he had played before.
"Which one is better?" he was confused about his difficulty in choosing.
Hearing his soliloquy to herself, the girl pursed her lips disdainfully: "Just play the highest level of music you can play!"
The highest level?
Then "Dedicated to Alice", "Dream Wedding", and "Autumn Whispers" can be ruled out.
These tunes are good, but the difficulty is relatively low.
What's the hardest song I've ever played?
"Flying Bees"?
No. The difficulty of "Wild Bee Flying" mainly lies in the flexibility and clarity of the fingers, as well as the relatively high requirements for speed, but there are many repetitions, and you can master it after a period of hard practice.
It's Liszt's "Bells......
It's a bit more difficult.
Among them, the wheel fingers (different fingers play the same note repeatedly), the wheel finger (the left and right hands play alternately), the rapid octave, and the staccato with a very large interval beat, can not be mastered without a solid foundation and long-term practice.
It's just: I haven't touched the piano for more than half a year.
Anyone who learns piano knows that if you don't practice for a long time, your fingers will degenerate.
If you don't practice for a day, you know, if you don't practice for a week, your peers know, and if you don't practice for a month, the audience will know.
Do you want to risk making a mistake by playing "The Bell"?
Forget it, that's it!
Anyway, as long as you can play it roughly, you should be able to prove that you can play the piano.
He took a deep breath and played the piano gently.
When the concise prelude is over, the theme of the bell appears.
The crisp and melodious timbre of the piano's high register and the overtones form short and powerful notes, forming a series of vivid and realistic bell ringings.
The girl's originally disdainful expression instantly turned into surprise.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
As a person who has been playing the piano since elementary school, she still has a certain level of appreciation.
This "mummy" in front of him is showing off his skills!
Her breathing began to rapid, and her face flushed.
Lu Yao's breathing also began to be rapid.
He was secretly crying out in his heart.
Regret should not be!
Why did you choose this song?
It's going to break if you play it!
Liszt, a dazzling maniac, has left the experience for future generations, probably like this!
But now, I can only continue to play.
How did you say that? The cannon I made an appointment with tears in my eyes will be finished!
After playing the song, he let out a sigh of relief.
He knew he was pulling across.
By the end, the mistones, timbre, and strength were already out of control.
But the onlookers obviously couldn't see it.
There was silence for a while, and applause rang out.
"I'm sorry, it's a bit of a bounce......" Lu Yao got up and bowed to the audience a little, and said to the girl ashamedly.
The girl bit her lip tightly.
"The difficulty factor of this song you play is very high! But it also confirms your level from the side. ”
"Where, where, in terms of difficulty, this "Bell" is still a small drop in comparison to the "Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3!" That piece, it takes forty or fifty minutes to play three movements, and the physical strength consumed is about the same as shoveling ten tons of coal!"
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 is considered the most difficult piece to play in the world.
"The Bell"?Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3?" The girl looked confused: "I started learning piano at the age of five, and until now, I think I have heard almost all the famous songs. However, today I realized that I was too lonely and unheard. ”
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment.
Learning the piano at the age of five to now, so long?
Shouldn't it?
"You haven't heard Liszt's "Bells"?" he was a little incredulous, "I haven't heard Liszt's "Bells" after studying for so long?"
The girl blushed.
But at this time, there were people in the crowd of onlookers who complained about her grievances.
"Dude, you're too pretending, aren't you? Those two tunes you said may be awesome, but most of us just haven't heard of them!" A young man in his twenties looked at Lu Yao very unhappily: "On the contrary, this beautiful woman played this song "Autumn Starry Sky", but we are familiar with it! Everyone knows that it is a classic handed down by the grand pianist Lyman for 200 years, how about it?"
"That's it!"
"Pretend to be a criminal!"
