Text Chapter 081 Absolute Tone
Absolutely sonic sense, as long as the child who has studied music, must be extremely eager for this superpower. Unfortunately, ordinary people do not have this ability, and it can be said that it is one in a million. If a child has an absolute sense of tone, and he is studying music, it is simply a dazzling king in a pile of bronze.
Wei Chenglin is such a genius. When he was three or four years old, he was able to listen to the simple melodies that his father played, word for word. The Wei family was overjoyed and did not hesitate to find the best piano teacher in Hong Kong City for him. In order to let her children learn piano without worries, Zhao Yanfen resigned from the school's logistics work and started a small business at the gate of No. 2 Middle School, wholeheartedly supporting her son to learn piano.
Few children are interested in music theory, for whom the notes are just tadpoles drawn on paper, and if they don't learn music theory, they can't remember the staff, and if they can't remember the staff, they can only fumble on the piano by simple muscle memory. How boring this process is, children who have learned it must know.
But Wei Chenglin is different, he can memorize the melody almost once when he listens to the teacher play it. Which sound is not accurate, he can say clearly. After a year of systematic study, he was able to play about four minutes of etudes without any obstacles, when he was only five years old. The piano teacher regarded him as a prodigy, and let him be the first to play no matter what the performance.
Wei Chenglin is white and chubby, with a simple smile, but he is not stage frightened, and he has not lived up to the teacher's expectations once. When he was a child, he was as cute as a panda dumpling, and everyone who saw him couldn't help pinching his face. He plays the piano well, and with his cute image, he took a bunch of promotional photos for the piano store, which is simply the mascot of their piano store.
The Wei family did not let their son go to a special music school at first, because they could not reach the financial strength, and second, they were not sure whether their son would embark on the path of musicians. In the words of her aunt Li Lanlan, almost all of the top artists are made with money. Therefore, before Xiao Chenglin determined his future goals, the Wei family and his wife carefully and diligently accumulated wealth for him.
So, Xiao Chenglin went to Jixianglu Primary School and became the mascot of the whole school again, and he gained a group of female fans at a young age. Everyone knows that he plays the piano very well, and when Cheng Lin plays the piano in the school auditorium, there will always be a little girl who will run over to him shyly and give him lollipops, "Tang monk meat" or something. Xiao Chenglin, who plays the piano, is quite a bit gentlemanly, pestering the piano teacher to teach him a romantic tune, and he wants to find an opportunity to give back to the female fans.
It was at that time that I learned "The Wedding of My Dreams". The teacher asked him if he could hear the emotion of this song.
Cheng Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, when I listen to it, I think of Sister Linlin in my mind." ”
The teacher asked maliciously, "Who is Sister Linlin?"
Cheng Lin shyly lowered his head, dug his nostrils, and said mysteriously, "This is the secret." ”
"In this song, there is a very touching love story that you can't understand. However, if you can think of your best friend, when you think of her, you want to give her everything you have, then you think about her. In this way, the mood of the tune comes out. The teacher tries to avoid words such as "love", "beauty" and "romance" that children cannot understand, and uses children's language to explain them clearly.
Cheng Lin seems to understand whether he understands or not, according to what the teacher said, thinking about Sister Linlin. Cheng Lin has always played the classical piano, and "Dream Wedding" is a popular song, except for the unpredictable rhythm, everything else is easy. He played it a few times, and the teacher was more and more amazed - this little boy is not only super talented, but also has such a good grasp of the rhythm?
"Teacher!" Wei Chenglin finished the song and raised his hand.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Lin pointed to the score very seriously and said: "The score is to drop MI, but when you played, the MI in this line did not drop, did you forget to mark it?"
The teacher took a closer look, and Cheng Lin was right, the line he was referring to was indeed played according to the original sound, but the notation of restoring the original sound was forgotten on the score. Sweat was pouring from her forehead, and she hurriedly drew it with a pen.
As a teacher, she didn't even see this mistake, she really felt very shameless, but on the other hand, she was relieved for Cheng Lin, at such a young age, she could even see this little mistake clearly!
At that time, Cheng Lin had just entered the first grade of elementary school, and he pointed out a mistake in the textbook, which made him famous. Of course, it has also become a nightmare for many piano children. When they don't practice well, parents will always say, "Look at Wei Chenglin, they are all the same age, why is the gap so big?"
The children dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they could only secretly hate Czerny, and by the way, they even hated the prodigy on Jixianglu.
At that time, Wei Chenglin was proud and introverted, and after practicing "Dream Wedding", he shyly invited Qiao Lin to his home and played this song "Dream Wedding" for her. Jolene couldn't understand it, but she was moved by the sound of the piano and praised him for playing it well. Wei Chenglin was secretly proud, and since then he has been practicing the piano even harder.
As a child, Wei Chenglin didn't understand the concept of "absolute tone", but he loved to play the piano. While other children are trying to be lazy, he especially enjoys playing the piano. The piano satisfies all his pride, and on the stage, he accepts the attention of all people, and when he walks off the stage, he is surrounded by the warm home that his parents have built for him.
At that time, the sky above him was forever blue, and the sun was shining on him all the time. If he had traveled back in time, he would have found that he must have been a child of God's favor at that time.
"A dream!"
Wei Chenglin sat in the music classroom of No. 2 Middle School, put his hands in his pockets, and shook the chair one by one. The sky outside is still very blue, and the golden ginkgo leaves are fluttering in the wind. Except for the sound of the piano coming from the podium, everything was beautiful.
A chalk head flew at him, he had already practiced a good skill, his head was slightly on one side, and the chalk head smashed into the face of the model student behind him impartially.
"Wei Chenglin!" The model student was very angry, shook his horse's tail, and roared at Chenglin.
Wei Chenglin smiled and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'll accompany Teacher Cui, he hurt you by mistake." ”
"Smack!"
Before Wei Chenglin's words fell, he was hit firmly on the head. Teacher Cui slapped Wei Chenglin with a book, but he was still not satisfied, and shouted: "Stand up for me!"
Wei Chenglin smiled indifferently and stood up suddenly, half a head taller than Teacher Cui. Now it's okay, if you want to teach this kid a lesson, you still have to tiptoe and look up at him! Teacher Cui is even more unhappy.
"I'll make you laugh at me again!"
Teacher Cui slapped him twice more with his textbook, and two red marks appeared on Wei Chenglin's face. Wei Chenglin was also angry and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
"I'm lecturing, my classmates are demonstrating, and you're smiling at me all the time. What, what's so great about you?!"
"He's played like that, and he doesn't allow anyone to laugh?"
Teacher Cui spat and sneered: "If you are really so capable, you can come up and play!"
"Really let me play?" Wei Chenglin's mouth tilted upward, and a sneer also floated: "You will regret it." ”
With that, he walked down the aisle and strode up to the podium. Walking to the piano, he turned around and confirmed: "Teacher Cui, did you let me play?"
"Bullet, I think you kid has any skills?"
Wei Chenglin returned to the appearance of putting his hands in his pockets, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the blackboard, this lesson is about beats. The content was originally very simple, but in order to show off his skills, Mr. Cui was stunned to draw it like a combat map. Every time he talks about a beat, he asks his class representative to play a part so that everyone can have a more intuitive feeling.
Wei Chenglin sneered more and more, he could see at a glance that Mr. Cui was an amateur, at most a music lover. There has always been a shortage of soprano and physical beauty teachers, and I don't know where the school dug out this enthusiast and asked him to take charge of the music class in the first year of high school. Wei Chenglin thought to himself, it is no exaggeration to say that his knowledge of music theory can throw him a hundred streets.
Yin Xuyang, the representative of the music class, had been sitting on the piano bench, and when Wei Chenglin came to him, he was reluctant to stand up. Wei Chenglin put his hands in his pockets and dried the pestle there to see how long he could stalemate. It wasn't until Teacher Cui signaled that Yin Xuyang reluctantly gave up his seat to Wei Chenglin.
Wei Chenglin shook his hair and said to the class: "I don't play paragraph by paragraph, but play a complete tune." It's about two minutes, and after I finish playing, let's tell what is four or four beats, eight seven beats, eight nine beats, eight or six beats...... Wait, there's more complicated ones, you can't hear them. ”
The students looked at each other, but they were all confused. Wei Chenglin touched the once familiar keys, pressed the first note, and a string of beautiful melodies instantly floated out of the classroom, drifting to all corners of the school with the autumn wind.
He had a lot of sheet music in his head, but he had no intention of playing the difficult ones. Even he didn't understand why he wanted to play "Dream Wedding" as soon as he touched the keys. He didn't rely on the muscle memory of his fingers, the score was engraved in his head. With his eyes closed, he can play very smoothly.
The piece is a little faster, but there is a faint sadness. Just as the autumn sun fell on Wei Chenglin, his slender fingers fluttering on the keys, as elegant as a prince who came out of a comic.
Two minutes passed quickly, and the girls were still unsatisfied and shouted "Encore". Wei Chenglin had an illusion, could it be that the old times in the past had come back? He looked down at his hand and smiled bitterly. He knew in his heart that he had wasted too much time, and that he could still play the piano, but that didn't mean he could still walk the piano path.
The book slapped him on the cheek again, waking him up from his memories. He looked up and saw Teacher Cui, who had an unkind face. He silently clenched his fists and asked, "Why are you hitting people again?"
"What are you doing sitting here after you're done? Your cheeks are stuck to your chair?"
Wei Chenglin couldn't bear it anymore, kicked the chair away, and a loud bang made the whole class tremble. He pressed Teacher Cui step by step: "I just said that your class representative played the wrong tone, and you asked me to play it;
"You said that if you played the wrong game, you are wrong? You ask these classmates, who can testify?"
Teacher Cui was very arrogant and glanced at the students. The students were afraid that they would be named, so they lowered their heads in unison. No one noticed Song Minjia in the corner, she had been sitting there straight, quietly watching everything that was happening on the podium with watery eyes.
Wei Chenglin was helpless: "I have an absolute sense of tone, I can hear a wrong note clearly, not to mention how many mistakes he played?"
Teacher Cui couldn't hold his face, slapped the book on his face, and shouted: "Boom, I'll let you again! What's so great about being able to play the piano, and dare to talk to the teacher in such a tone? Go back!"
The students in the audience were frightened by the violence of Teacher Cui, but Wei Chenglin's eyes became extremely gloomy. He rubbed his aching cheeks, suddenly pushed Teacher Cui aside, and ran out of the classroom as if flying.
